The present protective barrier is similar to those commonly installed beneath ceilings during construction work being performed on ceilings or roofs of buildings, wherein two or more sections are sewn together to construct the protective barrier. However, the present protective barrier also comprises a dustcover, which covers the seam entirely preventing dust from passing through holes created when the seam is sewn using a thread or similar means.

A suturing device is provided, including a needle and a shuttle. The needle has an elongated shape extending in a predetermined direction and is configured to hold a first thread-like member. The needle is reciprocally movable forward and backward in the predetermined direction and is rotatable about an axis extending in the predetermined direction. Rotation of the needle about the axis permitting the first thread-like member to cross the needle to form a loop in the first thread-like member. The shuttle includes a holding portion. The holding portion is configured to hold a second thread-like member. The shuttle is configured to permit the holding portion to pass through the loop.

A multilayered nonwoven insulating barrier with an integral pocket for installation of a component to be insulated. The insulating barrier has nonwoven layers that overlap one another and are stitched to one another by first pair of seams to form an integral pocket therebetween. An elastic member is secured to one end of the insulating barrier to facilitate wrapping the end around and forming a seal. A second elastic member is secured to an opposite end of the insulating barrier to facilitate wrapping the second end around and forming a seal. A releasable member is secured along a first lateral side of the insulating barrier and a mating releasable member is secured along an opposite second lateral side of the insulating barrier and the releasable members facilitate releasable wrapping of the insulating barrier about and forming a seal with the component.

A method of applying stitching to an interior component is provided herein. The interior component having only a single layer of a substrate layer. The method including the steps of: a) penetrating substrate layer with an awl to form a piercing therethrough; b) retracting the awl from the substrate layer; c) inserting a needle of a sewing head through the piercing through the substrate layer to grasp a thread positioned on a show surface of the outer skin layer; d) pulling the thread through the substrate layer; e) looping the thread with a previous stitch passed through the substrate layer; f) advancing the sewing head to another position with respect to the interior component, wherein a backside of the substrate layer is free of obstructions; and g) repeating steps a-f until a predetermined amount of stitches are applied to the interior component.

The invention relates to an arrangement comprising a visible seam, which is arranged in a sheet material part. The arrangement also includes a lighting apparatus, which is arranged beneath an underside of the sheet material part. The visible seam has an upper thread and a lower thread. The lower thread extends along the underside of the sheet material part in a direction (R). The upper thread has first thread portions along the upper side of the sheet material part and is guided, at stitch holes formed during the sewing process, through said stitch holes via second thread portions. By means of the lighting apparatus, emitted light passes into the second thread portions, into the stitch holes, and from there into the first thread portions. Some of the light propagates along the first thread portions, starting from an adjacent second thread portion, whereas another portion of the light exits from the first thread portion. In this way, the upper thread of the visible seam is illuminated.

A curtain barrier with an attached hem pocket using an interlocking stitch techniqueis disclosed. The agricultural membrane curtain comprises a curtain body made of a non-porous fabric material and one or more breathable hem pockets extending along the bottom edge of the curtain body. The hem pocket is sewn to the curtain body using a plurality of intersecting sew lines creating an interlocking stitch pattern to avoid unraveling due to thread damage. The sew lines may comprise thread, yarn, or filament and the interlocking stitch pattern forms multiple stop points for automatic sealing in the event of deterioration of one or more stitches.
