Abstract: A system for creating folds in textiles. The system includes a tooling plate, a loading assembly, a fold mechanism, a wrangler mechanism, and a door mechanism. The loading assembly enable a user to load a textile into the system. The fold mechanism creates folds in the textile. The wrangler mechanism compacts a textile after folds have been created in it to retain and tighten the folds. The door mechanism opens and closes an opening in the tooling plate through which textiles can be transferred away from the wrangler mechanism. Preferably, the system may also include a robot arm equipped to transfer textiles about the system and a tying machine for applying bindings to textiles.

Abstract: A torch includes a body, a fuel tank and a microjet burner. The torch also includes an ignition button that is movable relative to the body between an upper position and a depressed position, and a cap assembly, which includes a lower cap and a safety cap rotatably coupled with the lower cap. The safety cap includes an ignition button guard, defines a flame portal, and is rotatable between a closed position and an armed position. When the safety cap is in the closed position, the ignition button guard is aligned with the ignition button and inhibits access to the ignition button, and the safety cap covers the microjet burner. When the safety cap is in the armed position, the flame portal is aligned with the microjet burner, and the ignition button guard is misaligned with the ignition button, and access to the ignition button is unobstructed.

Abstract: A system adapted to provide a flow of gas to an airway of a patient. The system comprises a first conduit, a second conduit, an interface appliance, and a retention assembly. The first conduit has a proximal end and a distal end. The second conduit has a proximal end and a distal end. The interface appliance has an inlet opening, an outlet opening, and one or more airway openings. The inlet opening is engaged with the proximal end of the first conduit such that the flow of gas is provided from the first conduit to the interface appliance at the engagement between the inlet opening and the proximal end of the first conduit. The one or more airway openings are adapted to deliver a portion of the flow of gas to the airway of the patient. The outlet opening is engaged with the proximal end of the second conduit such that a portion of the flow of gas is released from the interface appliance into the second conduit at the engagement between the outlet opening and the proximal end of the second conduit.
