  • Patent number: 7117897
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for face-to-face weaving of an upper and a lower fabric on a face-to-face weaving machine, upper and lower fabric (101, 102) comprising at least a first zone with pile loops, the pile loops being formed around one or several lost pile loop weft yarns (16, 16?), and comprising at least a second zone where no pile loops are formed around lost pile loop weft yarns and catch means (1, 1?) being provided for supporting the lost pile loop weft yarns (16, 16?) within the second zone in one or several areas in the weft direction where no pile loops are formed around these lost pile loop weft yarns (16, 16?).

  • Patent number: 6610619
    Abstract: A method of imparting bulk and/or visual aesthetics to a tissue basesheet involves pressing the basesheet with a felt having a raised pattern on it so that the pattern becomes inherent in the sheet. A pattern is stitched into a carrier layer which is joined to a substrate to form the felt. As the basesheet is pressed into the felt, the raised pattern displaces fibers in the sheet, effectively inducing the pattern in the basesheet. The novel felt with a raised patterned layer is also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 6592636
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a press fabric having an anti-rewet scrim or “barrier” within the internal structure of a press fabric, and a method for making same. External materials are not necessary in creating the barrier. In other words, the existing material is modified to create a natural barrier to prevent water migration back to the press fabric surface.

  • Patent number: 5559089
    Abstract: Automatic dishwashing detergents are provided in convenient, compact form without chlorine bleaches or phosphate builders. Thus, monopersulfate bleach such as 2KHSO.sub.5.KHSO.sub.4.K.sub.2 SO.sub.4 is used in combination with protease or amylase enzymes and acrylate organic dispersants to provide good cleaning of tableware. Weak builders such as citrate and pH-adjusting agents such as carbonate, bicarbonate and silicate can be present in the composition.

  • Patent number: 4915138
    Abstract: Method of weaving pile fabrics by means of pile wire looms, wherein the fabric has a pile loop every n wefts, n being greater than or equal to 2, and wherein each of the pile wires is inserted in an insertion cycle which takes place during one weft cycle and are each extracted, one after the other, in an extraction cycle which takes place over n successive weft cycles. Apparatus for applying this method comprises at least two extraction and one insertion carriage. In addition, the apparatus has a transfer device which consists essentially of a fixed pile wire bar and a movable pile wire bar. The two pile wire bars are provided on their mutually facing longitudinal sides with a guide track over which the pile wires make their extraction movement and insertion movement.
