Abstract: An apparatus (V) for the singeing of threads (1), preferably of a thread assembly, for example for use in the manufacture of a carpet, the thread assembly comprising twisted threads of a plastic material, such as nylon (polyamides), polyester and the like. The apparatus (V) comprises a heat section, and a burner (5) which produces a singeing flame (7). The threads (1) run, upstream and/or downstream of the singeing flame (7), through the heat section (18), the heat section being formed independently of the burner (5) and being set at a temperature influencing the macromolecular structure of the plastic material.

Abstract: A singeing machine, especially for the flame treatment of carpets made in the tufting process, with a burner unit (3) and disposed downstream of the burner unit (3) a smooth roller (14) which has a moistened surface (15), and which smooth roller (14) is cooled, wherein the smooth roller (14) is so strongly cooled that its surface (15) is below the dew point.

Abstract: A singeing device (V) for the gassing of circular goods (1), for instance circular knitted textile goods, having a singe burner (3) and a cloth guide (W) in order to obtain uniform gassing. The guidance of the goods (W) is developed so as to result in flat sides (a) of the circular goods (1) which extend substantially parallel to each other and rounded transition sides (b), and the singe burner (3) gasses the circular goods (1) both on the flat sides (a) and on the transition sides (b).

Abstract: A burner unit for the singeing of flat textile structures and the like, in particular a burner unit for singeing machines having a combustion chamber and ramp stones forming one or more singe slits, the combustion chamber being fed from a gaseous mixture chamber via preferably two or more parallel burner slits. A ramp stone is arranged adjustably movable for changing the singe slit and/or the combustion chamber.

Abstract: A new and distinct Rhododendron hybrid plant used as a rootstock or flowering shrub that exhibits hardy and vigorous growth.

Abstract: The new plant is a new and distinct cultivar of a rhododendron used as a rootstock, and characterized by a plant height (of the original plant) of 1.0 m, with a plant width of 1.2 m in 13 years; a habit of broad bush, very compact; an annual terminal growth of mature plants being about 10-15 cm and for young plants being 20-25 cm; a flowering period in the first week of May to the third week of May; a flower color being white (R.H.S. Colour Chart 155 D) with green tinge and faint yellow-brown markings (nearly 164 B-173 A according to R.H.S. Colour Chart); 10 stamens of very striking brown color with a green stigma and stamens much longer than style; leaf shape being small and elliptical, 6-9 cm long and 1.5-3.5 cm broad, with a dark green upper surface and light green lower surface; hardy to a temperature down to -26.degree. C., or -10.degree. F.
