Abstract: A high temperature and energy capacity friction material for wet brake and clutch applications comprising a resin impregnated carbon fabric. Preferably, the fabric is a woven cloth and the resin is a thermoset such as phenolic resin. The invention involves the controlled impregnation of the fabric so as to leave the fabric with a high compressive strength, effectively impervious to internal oil flow, but with macroscopic voids between the tows of yarn to afford local reservoirs of oil at the working surface and flow of oil across the working surface.

Abstract: A binder for binding together hanger-mounted garments is disclosed which includes an elongated spine of part-cylindrical cross-section, a pair of retainer mounting brackets carrying pins or tongues whereby a hanger hook retainer may be locked against the convex surface of the spine, and a lanyard for joining the retainer to one of the retainer mounting brackets. The retainer consists of an inner tubular member and an outer tubular member of resilient foam material.
