A drawstring recovery and restringing device that includes a leading edge, a flexible cylindrical mid-portion, and a grab scoop member. The device may be used in various methods of restringing drawstrings through articles having a drawstring channel, the methods comprising securing a drawstring end within the device's grab scoop member, inserting the leading edge of the device into a drawstring channel of an article, pushing the device through the drawstring channel until the leading edge protrudes from the other end of the drawstring channel and pulling the leading edge of the device until the entire device exits the drawstring channel. The device may also be used in methods of recovery of a drawstring that is fully enclosed in a drawstring channel, the methods comprising feeding the grab scoop member of the device into the drawstring channel, placing the drawstring within the grab scoop member, and pulling the leading edge of the device through the drawstring channel. |

A continuous method for making a polymeric bristle subassembly using a continuous moving cable support to move the filament wraps along the mandrel. The base string being bonded to the polymeric filaments of the wrap as the filament wraps are transported to form a bristle sub assembly. An apparatus for making the subassemblies is also part of this invention. Other aspects of this invention are a continuous method of making a bristle subassembly wherein the base string is omitted and the filaments of the wrap are bonded to each other through the use of an energy source, or the use of a polymeric bead to bond the filaments together or use of a solvent or an adhesive to bond the polymeric filaments of the wrap together to form a bristle subassembly. |

WILLIAMS PENELOPE |
Two wires resiliently diverge rearward from a pilot body and are doubled back towards the pilot body, thereby forming two divergent two-wire arms with loops at their outer ends to engage the leading end of a ribbon or elastic band at two laterally spaced points. The doubled-back wires have pointed ends to pierce the ribbon and the pilot body is adapted to releasably engage and shield the two pointed ends. The two doubled-back wires are formed with offsets to serve as finger grips for maneuvering the pointed ends into or out of engagement with the pilot body.

Variegating projections on a length of cloth are formed by wrapping a thread loop around spaced thread-retaining formations on a thread loop retaining member by guiding the thread through an oscillatable hook member and around the shank of a pivotal hook lever, pivoting the hook lever and oscillating the hook member relative to the retaining member to wrap a thread loop around the retaining formations, hooking the loop by a cloth catching member, catching a projection of the cloth on the cloth catching member, passing the loop around a rotatable body and over the cloth projection, and tensioning the thread to bind the cloth projection. The loop forming and cloth projection binding steps preferably are repeated while the cloth remains caught, after which the cloth is released. The apparatus comprises a longitudinally reciprocal thread loop retaining member having longitudinally spaced thread retaining formations, a pivoted hook lever pivotal across the path of movement of the retaining member, and a hook member oscillatable relative to the retaining member, the hook lever and the hook member having the thread guided thereby and forming the loop around the retaining portions. An oscillating rod adjusts the thread tension, and a feed needle reciprocates and oscillates relative to the cloth to catch portions of the cloth to form cloth projections which are bound by the formed loops.
