This invention is directed to an improved contact surface for manipulating fabrics wherein the microstructure included on the contact surface having a plurality of pillars spaced apart in the range of 200 μm and 600 μm, having a height in the range of 50 μm and 1200 μm, a width of in the range of 70 μm and 300 μm, a wall draft angle between 0° and 15°, a density of in the range of 5,000 to 20,000 pillars per square inch, and a friction rating greater than 7. The contact surface can be included on a sewing machine feed dog, a glove, sporting equipment, firearm grip, hand rail, tools, and a strap such as for a satchel or backpack.

A finger cover for providing additional friction when handing paper and protection a user's fingernail is provided. The finger cover includes an elongated tubular sleeve having open ends for receiving a user's finger, whereby the open ends accomodate users with long fingernails; and a gripping surface on an outer surface of the tubular sleeve for providing additional friction when handing paper. The invention also includes a fingernail protection portion held in place by the sleeve. The fingernail protection portion is substantially planar in shape and includes a horizontal slit located between its ends for insertion of a user's fingernail therethrough.

A finger protecting device (1) for protecting at least one finger of a hand of a user of the device (1) against the occurrence of chafing resulting from rubbing of the at least one finger against the shaft (3) when practicing a sport with the shaft (3), such as golfing and the like. The finger protecting device (1) comprises a sleeve (5) removably mountable onto a thumb of the hand, and being shaped and sized for covering a substantial portion of the thumb. The sleeve (5) has opposite front and rear surfaces (7, 9), the front surface (7) being positioned before a digital area of the thumb when the sleeve (5) is mounted onto the thumb for acting as a barrier between the thumb and the shaft (3), thereby protecting the thumb against the occurrence of chafing resulting from rubbing against the shaft (3). The sleeve (5) further has first and second opposite ends (11, 13), the second end (13) being open-ended for allowing the thumb to be inserted into the sleeve (5) through said second end (13). The finger protecting device (1) also comprises fastening means (15) operatively connected to the sleeve (5) for selectively adjusting and fastening the sleeve (5) onto the thumb when mounted thereon. Preferably also, the finger protecting device (1) comprises extension portions for mounting the device onto corresponding parts of the hand, as well as additional sleeves (105) for protecting other fingers of the hand against chafing, the other sleeves (105) being shaped preferably so as to enable the finger tips of the fingers to be exposed so as to enable a better feel for the shaft (3) when practicing a sport therewith.

A multiple thread dispenser which serves as both a portable container for many spools of thread and a dispenser of multiple strands of thread. The container dispenses thread for use with a sewing machine. The spools of thread are stored in an array of pockets which are relieved for easy access to the spools. Multiple strands of thread dispense from a top row of pockets. A base plate stabilizes the container while dispensing thread to a sewing machine. The base plate can be stored within the container during transport. The base plate has a pocket on the bottom of the base plate for printed material that can be viewed through a semi-transparent lid when the base plate is in its stored position.

A pre-threaded and knotted needle with a length of thread knotted though the eye of the needle and a connection securing the ends of the thread and a sleeve securing a bundle of the thread so that the thread is not tangled until it is released and ready for use The thread is bundle is formed by wrapping it into a bundle and securing a sleeve around the bundle of the thread so that the thread is not tangled until it is released and ready for use. The bundle is released for use by pulling on the needle and the end of the thread to release the bundle of thread.

A lap stand for supporting a craft frame or hoop upon a user's lap such that the hoop may be swiveled upon a universal joint in a variety of orientations to allow improved user access to the work piece held by the hoop.

The present invention relates to a memory application tester for testing a semiconductor memory device comprising a plurality of motherboards having a memory socket. The motherboards are vertically mounted and effectively integrated so that a memory application tester may test more memory device simultaneously, and a limit in the trace length due to the integration of the motherboards is effectively solved.

The invention discloses a 360-degree mould frame which comprises clamping parts with ejector pins, vertical fixing parts, curved fixing parts and connecting rods, wherein a through hole is formed in one end of each of the clamping parts, the vertical fixing parts and the curved fixing parts, so that the connecting rods can be connected; the other end of each of the clamping parts and the vertical fixing parts is perpendicular to the connecting rods, and the other end of the curved fixing part is parallel to the connecting rods and is connected with that of the vertical fixing part, so that the angle between the connecting rods can be changed; the connecting rods are connected through hinges or right angle connectors to form a closed polygon; a required contour line of a clothing front part is formed at the other end of the clamping part through a metal wire. The 360-degree mould frame can be repeatedly used, can be changed at will according to required styles and patterns, and is multifunctional; the problem that the multidirectional crossed sewing operation cannot be performed by a plastic mould in the past is solved; the 360-degree mould frame is easy to operate, high in yield and good in effect, and the labor and product costs are greatly reduced.

A yarn holding device is provided for holding and carrying a spool or skein of yarn by a person while knitting and/or crocheting. The device can hang downwardly from the arm or hand of the person while providing a supply of yarn to the person while knitting. The device has a handle in the form of a ring that can hang from the arm of the person. A shaft extends from the ring with a length to carry the skein of yarn. A sleeve in mounted on the shaft and carries the yarn during use. The sleeve is rotatable on the shaft to feed the yarn. A removable base is coupled to the bottom end of the shaft for removing the sleeve from the shaft and for positioning the sleeve with the yarn of the shaft. An eyelet is provided on the ring to feed the yarn from the skein to the person during use.

The invention is a combination spool and bobbin holder having essentially separate sections for the spool and the bobbin. The color of the thread is visible on both the spool and the bobbin for selection purposes and to ensure that the correct bobbin is stored with the correct spool. The device has retention devices to secure the spool and/or bobbin, and/or receiving devices to facilitate insertion of the spool and bobbin within, or to, the device.

An apparatus and method for restringing a drawstring through a drawstring reception channel includes a semi-flexible elongated main body and a drawstring coupling structure. The coupling structure is located at a trailing end of the main body so that a drawstring can be pulled through the drawstring reception channel behind the apparatus. The coupling structure has a first slotted opening, a second slotted opening behind the first slotted opening, and a third opening between the first and second slotted openings. The third opening has a round shape with a diameter substantially the same as a width of the first and second slotted openings. A drawstring can be coupled to the coupling structure by passing the leading tip end of the drawstring through the first slotted opening and either the second slotted opening or the third round opening depending on whether the leading tip end has a protective plastic covering.
