Abstract: A textile fiber of sulfonated poly(p-phenylene terephthalamide) that is rapidly dyeable to deep shades.

Abstract: The incandescent lamp includes a glass bulb having a longitudinal axis and two filaments formed of a coil within the bulb supported with their longitudinal axes oriented parallel to the bulb's longitudinal axis. For supporting the filaments, three support wires are provided, each with an outer portion fixed to the bulb and extending parallel to the bulb longitudinal axis and an inner portion extending substantially perpendicular to the outer portion. The inner and outer portions of all three support wires are located in a single reference plane extending parallel to the bulb longitudinal axis. The filaments are joined to the support wires by four welded joints that can be applied in the single reference plane. The inner portions of the second and third support wires extend toward each other and are substantially aligned. The bulb has a glass seal portion through which the outer portion of the support wires extend and by which the outer support wire are fixed in a laterally spaced apart relation.

Abstract: Process for making aromatic polyamide fibers of high hydrolytic stability is disclosed. The polyamide is a copolymer including chloroterephthalamide or a blend of homopolymers including one with chloroterephthalamide; and the fibers are dried under tension or heat treated.

Abstract: Certain poly[hexamethylene adipamide]-poly[poly-(oxyethylene) adipamide] copolymers which provide soil release to nylon fabrics can be applied from solution directly to a threadline without heat-setting. Aqueous alcoholic solutions of the copolymers are preferred for such application.

Abstract: A mitre joint for picture frames and the like, wherein abutting portions of two members have pockets milled therein that are spaced a predetermined distance inwardly from their abutting surfaces. In addition, channels connect the pockets with the abutting surfaces. A foreshortenable fastener comprising a four sided hollow body, having front, back, top and bottom sides, is positioned in the adjacent channels, with the front and back sides positioned in the pockets. The front and back sides are wider than the top and bottom sides, which extend through the channels, and a screw extends through a hole in the top side into threaded engagement with the bottom side to bow the bottom side inwardly when the screw is tightened. This foreshortens the fastener and pulls the mitre joint together.
