Abstract: In the cylinder-bed type sewing machine of the invention, a cylinder unit is provided. A feed base support, a feed base, and a feed dog which are disposed in the cylinder unit are reciprocally rotated in vertical and lengthwise directions in accordance with movements of a feed lifting rock shaft and a feed lengthwise shaft. The vertical and lengthwise reciprocal movements of the feed base are synthesized so that the feed dog is moved along an arcuate feeding locus. According to the cylinder-bed type sewing machine of the present invention, the peripheral length of the cylinder unit for holding a tubular sewing product which is fitted onto the cylinder unit, and the distance between a throat plate and the left end of the cylinder unit can be reduced as much as possible, and the feed dog can be moved along the arcuate locus. Therefore, a predetermined feeding operation on the sewing product can be conducted surely and smoothly.

Abstract: A composite material for enhancing traction between a surface of an article made of the material and a second contact surface is disclosed. Fine chips are encapsulated in covering material to form covered particles. The covered particles are evenly dispersed within a base material. The covering material is harder than the base material; the second contact surface material is harder than the covering material; and the fine chips are made from a material that is harder than the second contact surface material. As the surface of the article made of the material and the second contact surface interact, the fine chips are continuously exposed to the second contact surface. As a result, the fine chips are free to engage small indentations in the second contact surface and to bite into ice on the second contact surface, if any ice is present.
