To cut the upper and lower thread, in a sewing machine, the lower thread is severed when the needles are held at their lower dead centre position of its movement. The upper threads (1a) are cut together when the needles are held near their upper dead centre position of movement. The upper and lower threads are cut at the cylinder baseplate. The cylinder baseplate, with the needle plate, has an axi...

There is described a device which serves a multiplicity of purposes, being able to be combined alternatively with elements so as to produce a means of transportation, in a child safety seat for an infant travelling in a motor vehicle, or a pushchair. The device has a chassis structure including a U-shaped handle.

A distn. appts. for spirits prodn. includes a mash-holding heated still, above which is located a concentrator with one or more boiler plates having one or more passage openings, each being covered by a deflector which directs the rising vapour through the condensate on each boiler plate. The novelty is that (i) several holes, acting as passage openings, are distributed over the boiler plates; and...

The accordion related to this description includes a supplementary sound box (1) fitted on the treble sound box (B1) which provides major sound volume and totally new sounds with respect to those which can be obtained with traditional "cassotto" accordions.
