Abstract: A sleeve arrangement on garments, protective aprons or protective clothing having a whole and unbroken front piece entails the material for the sleeves being in one piece and joined along a substantially coherent, preferably continuous join extending around both shoulders and straight across the upper and lower portion of the chest, and the two adjacent material segments lying within the join definition being removed to produce one common aperture for both sleeves.A method of manufacturing the sleeves of garments, protective aprons or protective clothing having a whole and unbroken front piece comprises stitching, glueing or welding the coherent sleeve piece to the front piece of the garment, preferably in a single continuous operation, along a substantially coherent, preferably continuous join extending around both shoulders and across the upper and lower portion of the chest, and removing the two adjacent material segments lying within the join definition to produce one common aperture for both sleeves.

Abstract: A method for stretch film wrapping of goods aggregates (6) in a line operation including keeping the stretch film tensioned between a ready-wrapped goods aggregate and a stretch film store, and forming a new goods aggregate (6) by moving at least two articles towards each other and into contact with either side of the stretch film so that the stretch film is clamped between the articles (4) in the new goods aggregate. The stretch film can then be parted between the new goods aggregate and the ready-wrapped goods aggregate (6'), after which the new goods aggregate (6) is wrapped with stretch film with the aid of a conventional wrapping means. An apparatus for carrying out the method includes, apart from a conventional stretch film wrapping apparatus, means (8) for ejecting a wrapped goods aggregate (6') from the wrapping station.
