Abstract: The eternal chair will function as an aid for young and old as a lift chair. The eternal chair is the first recliner/lift chair with no mechanism and a removable seat cushion. Each function of the eternal chair is controlled separately. The eternal chair could be used for obesity and or have the capability to fit the needs of those who are suffering from back injury or medical recovery.

Abstract: A sliver delivery and opening device having a pivotably seated sliver intake cylinder driven by a worm gear arrangement comprising a worm wheel connected to the sliver intake cylinder that meshes with a worm affixed to a drive shaft. The worm includes thread windings conforming to a superimposed profile that axially offsets the worm relative to the worm wheel, thus preventing placement of a tooth of the worm wheel on a thread head of the worm when the worm wheel pivotally engages the worm. The amount of offset is measured between a plane of symmetry intersecting the superimposed profile of the worm thread windings and a pivot plane intersecting a center axis of the worm wheel. A positioning device, comprising at least one magnet and a ferromagnetic positioning element, prepositions the worm wheel relative to the pivot plane for pivotal engagement of the worm wheel and the worm.

Abstract: A yarn brake for applying tension to a yarn at the entrance end of a tube as the yarn moves through the tube and which may be utilized in a hollow spindle assembly of a textile yarn processing machine, such as a two-for-one twister. The yarn brake includes a first braking surface formed on a yarn entrance end of the tube and a movable brake member resting on the yarn entrance end of the tube and having a second braking surface on the underside thereof for cooperating with the first braking surface to apply tension to the yarn moving therebetween. The yarn brake includes a threading slot formed in the entrance end of the tube for threading of the yarn through the tube without moving the braking member from the entrance end of the tube.
