Sport sleeves comprising one or more anti-slip components are disclosed.

A sewing or looping device for closing a tubular knitted article includes a body, two needles, a yarn support, and a cutting unit; the body has two spaced bases, the two needles are pivotally connected to the first base, respectively, and pivoting movement paths of the two needles are orthogonal to each other, the yarn support has a first section adjustably disposed on one of the bases, and a second section extending along an axial direction. The cutting unit is pivotally connected to the base where the yarn support is located. A cutting direction of the cutting unit is parallel to the axial direction, and the sewing chain stitch is pulled to the cutting point by the hook member and cut thereat. The sewing chain stitch assumes a tensioned state when being pulled, which in turn allows the sewing chain stitch to be cut more reliably and easily.

An addition to additive manufacturing sews a number of printed substrate sheets together using industrial sewing machine technology. Portions of the final 3D object that will be solid are sewn together into bundles of the object with a needle protruding through the top of the bundle via a sewing machine with a looping mechanism connecting the thread loops under each bundle of printed substrate sheet layers. This will result in many well connected stack bundles that are then stacked in alignment to form the final stack. During heat and compression, the stitch thread may bunch together and become entangled with the cooled plastic of the final solid 3D object. Removal of the excess substrate may proceed as usual, since the sewing is applied only in the solid portions of the final object. The end result will be a part with much higher strength in the Z axis.

A method for sewing an open end of a tubular textile item so as to make the toe of a sock or of a leg of a stocking, comprising the steps of: loading a tubular item onto a preparation mold, and flatten it to define a first side and a second side; pulling the end portion of the first side so that is elongated, with respect to the end portion of the second side, of a determined length; by keeping the end portion of the first side pulled, simultaneously blocking the two sides so as to make them as one piece; by keeping the two sides blocked, releasing the end portion of the first side, taking the preparation mold out of the tubular item, and simultaneously placing the end portions of the two sides to sewing devices, so as to make a closed toe of the tubular item.

An assistance system that can be used for prosthetic heart valve manufacturing or suturing procedures includes an automated fixture that can comprise an articulation arm and a target device holder. The target device holder can be positioned and oriented to reduce operator strain during a manufacturing or inspection process. The assistance system includes a user input device enabling the operator to move between positions to assist in such processes. The assistance system can also be trained by capturing sequences of position data corresponding to a manufacturing or inspection process.

An interior part having high mechanical strength while having a stitch pattern penetrating a base-material layer is provided. Furthermore, a method for manufacturing an interior part that improves strength of the base-material layer and enhances sewing compatibility is provided. The interior part includes a skin layer joined to one surface of a base-material layer. The base-material layer contains reinforcing fibers and a thermoplastic resin binding the reinforcing fibers. A thread sewn between an opposite surface of the base-material layer with respect to the one surface and a design surface of the skin layer forms a stitch pattern provided on the design surface. A sewn area of the base-material layer is thicker than the periphery. The method includes a shaping step of shaping a fiber-reinforced board in which the thermoplastic resin is softened and forming an area to be sewn thicker than the periphery by releasing compression.

A glass article layer is provided that includes at least two cylindrical glass articles extending in a z-direction and arranged side by side in an x-direction. Two spacers are provided spaced apart from one another at an interval longitudinally of the glass article in the z-direction. The spacers are arranged between the glass articles. The spacers are thread-like elements and at least one of the thread-like elements is provided at each spacer position.
