A self-expanding, pseudo-braided device embodying a high expansion ratio and flexibility as well as comformability and improved radial force. The pseudo-braided device is particularly suited for advancement through and deployment within highly tortuous and very distal vasculature. Various forms of the pseudo-braided device are adapted for the repair of aneurysms and stenoses as well as for use in thrombectomies and embolic protection therapy.

An orthogonal stitch-weave method and fiber architecture. The architecture allows near-net-shape composite preforms to be fabricated, thereby reducing costs associated with complex preform shapes and increasing desired strengths of the composite.

This invention relates to a hair braider and its auxiliary device, which are portable and braids three bunches of hair into a strand. The hair braider has a substantially figure "8'-configured cam track allowing three carriers to move along the cam track for a "8' track motion. Three carriers combined detachably with three grabbing members accommodating three bunches of hair therein travels along the cam track as a couple of rotors rotate in opposite direction. While three hair grabbing member held on the holders of the carriers conduct the figure "8' motion, three bunches of hair in three hair grabbing members are braided into one strand.

Disclosed is a heating fabric comprising a heating fabric element made by weaving woof fibers and warp fibers, a pair of conductive parts being a plain fabric made by a weaving method to extend from one side edge of the heating fabric element, for supplying electric power to the heating fabric element, wherein electrode fibers are woven in rows as warp threads in the conductive parts and a heating fiber is intermittently woven as woof threads at predetermined intervals so as to be conductive with the conductive parts, and wherein the heating fiber is woven in a zigzag pattern on the other side of the plain fabric of the conductive parts, in which one end of the heating fiber is woven into the conductive part, and a portion of the other end of the heating fiber is not woven into the conductive part, thereby forming a jumping portion having a length longer than a width of the conductive part, the jumping portion jumping over the conductive part so as not to be conductive with the conductive part. Due to the one-side arrangement of the conductive parts and the zigzag pattern of the carbon fibers, electromagnetic waves are reduced and offset. Accordingly, the heating fabric is advantageous for a user's health.

A synthetic braiding hair and its manufacturing method are disclosed. A synthetic braiding hair creating a faux locs style and a bohemian hair style simultaneously is comprised of the plurality of the first synthetic fibers spirally wound to create a faux locs hair style, the plurality of the second synthetic fibers spirally wound simultaneously along the plurality of the first synthetic fibers and extended at one end longer than the plurality of the first synthetic fibers to create a bohemian hair style thereof, and a hook formed at the other end of the plurality of the first synthetic fibers.

The present invention provides apparatus and a method for use in weaving elongate members together and most typically elongate members in the form of hair attached to the head of a person or a toy doll. The elongate members are provided in groups and the groups pass through passages in a weaving mechanism and along guide tubes which are located to the opposing side of the weaving mechanism from the item to which at least some of the elongate members are attached. Typically, relative movement of the weaving mechanism along the elongate members and the operation of the weaving mechanism cause the weave, such as in the form of plaiting, braiding or cornrowing to be formed.

The invention provides a knitting frame and belongs to the field of hand knitting devices. The knitting frame comprises a support, an upper rolling shaft and a lower rolling shaft, wherein the support comprises a left supporting frame and a right supporting frame. The left supporting frame comprises a first fixed rack and a first movable rack, wherein a first driving part for driving the first movable rack to move vertically is arranged on the left supporting frame. The right supporting frame comprises a second fixed rack and a second movable rack, wherein a second driving part for driving the second movable rack to move vertically is arranged on the right supporting frame. One end of the lower rolling shaft is in rotary connection with the first fixed rack, the other end of the lower rolling shaft is in rotary connection with the second fixed rack, one end of the upper rolling shaft is in rotary connection with the first movable rack, and the other end of the upper rolling shaft is in rotary connection with the second fixed rack. The knitting frame is small in size, light in weight and simple in structure, can be used for knitting multiple types of blankets and is simple in operation and convenient to use, and the distance between the upper rolling shaft and the lower rolling shaft can be changed through the first driving part and the second driving part.

The present invention relates to a hair gripping device to be mounted on a hair accommodating tube to grip a bundle of hair in a proper friction force during hair braiding by a hair braiding machine. The present hair gripping device comprises a tapered head portion having a nozzle for the bundle of hair to pass through; and a body portion, extended from the head portion in one piece, having a plurality of inner partition walls to give the bundle of hair a zigzag, spiral, or helical bends, thereby tensioning the bundle of hair properly during a braiding and / or releasing it smoothly at the end of braiding. Accordingly, a uniform and tidy, style of braided hair is obtained.

A jewelry loom for assisting in jewelry knotting comprising: a base; a knotting bow, where said knotting bow extends vertically from the base; a hook, where the hook extends downwardly from a top end of the bow; and a plurality of advancement knobs along the length of the bow. In the one particular embodiment, the bow extends from the base at an angle. The base may also include a cleat, where the cleat is used as a further mounting piece for the twines during the knotting process. The bow may also include a connecting wedge, where the wedge slides into a receiving slot in the base.

The present invention relates to the field of handicrafts, and provides an auxiliary apparatus for knitting a coil knot. The structure of the auxiliary apparatus comprises a base, main positioning pins and auxiliary positioning pins, wherein the base comprises a polymer foaming material surface plate on the upper layer and a hard bottom plate on the lower layer, and insertion holes are horizontally and vertically distributed on the polymer foaming material surface plate in a mesh manner. The method for knitting a coil knot by using the auxiliary apparatus comprises: respectively inserting the main positioning pins in a rectangular area on the base; and sequentially winding a rope on each main positioning pin, circling, and knitting. With the auxiliary apparatus of the present invention, the coil knots having different types and different sizes can be knitted according to the requirement, such that the versatility is strong; and the auxiliary apparatus is conveniently used by the beginner, and has characteristics of knitting accelerating, labor intensity reducing, and efficiency improving.
