Abstract: An apparatus for inserting tuft assemblies through a mattress, with retention disks, comprising a mattress locking structure composed of: two walls, flat and parallel with a space for accommodating the mattress for compression; a first carriage, supported by one of the walls with a first disk feeder and a tuft insertion device; a second carriage, supported by the second wall supporting a second disk feeder; an actuator for the carriages; each one of the feeders for disks comprises a disk magazine that is supported on a respective carriage and contains disks arranged in stack acted upon by a pusher in order to keep a front disk of the stack in a pick-up position; and pick-up elements each with a transfer element, supported by a carriage.

Abstract: A sun visor assembly having a rounded member partially defining the outer edge of the sun visor which forms a more user-friendly edge than existing sun visor designs. The sun visor is formed from a substantially flat foundation that is folded unto itself thereby forming two foundation halves. The halves have corresponding shapes that define the edge of the sun visor. An upholstery cover covers the foundation and forms an exterior surface of the sun visor. A bead member is attached to the foundation and includes a stem portion that attaches to the foundation. The bead member also includes the rounded member whose surface forms a substantially semicircular cross section which faces away from the sun visor. In one embodiment, the rounded member is integrally formed with the foundation, itself, and this embodiment therefore does not include an additional bead member.
