A method for manufacturing a one-piece woven (OPW) air bag includes providing yarns and warping the yarns on at least one beam of a loom. Yarns are simultaneously woven into a fabric air bag structure having two layer portions defining both an inflatable volume and non-inflatable portions and single layer portions forming seams delimiting the inflatable volume. The air bag structure is cut to define the OPW air bag and at least one opening extending through only one layer of the two layer portions.

The disclosed method may include bending, by an end-shaping tool, a portion of an end of a strap in a direction at least substantially perpendicular to a plane of the strap. The bending may include extending the portion of the end of the strap over a raised area of a first portion of the end-shaping tool and connecting a second portion of the end-shaping tool to the first portion. The connecting may include placing a recessed area of the second portion over the raised area of the first portion. The method may include debossing, by an end-setting tool dimensioned to accommodate the strap as bent by the end-shaping tool, the portion of the end of the strap at the bend. Various other methods, systems, and apparatus are also disclosed.

The invention discloses a continuous polyester fiber textile cloth that can be torn into pieces, processing equipment and a processing method. By ultrasonic hot-melting technology, the polyester fiber textile cloth is subjected to the high temperature generated by the high frequency generated by the action of a metal knife mold and an ultrasonic welding head, so that the thread of the loop layers and the base layer are melted in a line to form a thin line melting body that can be torn apart. The knife mold and the ultrasonic welding head are close to each other and resonate to generate heat. When they leave each other, the resonance disappears and the heat decreases, so as to realize the formation and temperature control of a linear high temperature zone.

An adjustable protective face covering having a first end having one or more openings spaced apart there along and a second opposing end having one or more openings spaced apart there along. A length extends therebetween for covering a mouth and nose of a wearer, and the face covering is a single use face covering that is a constructed from a unitary sheet comprised of surgical wrap, polypropylene, Spunbond Meltblown Spunbond (SMS), or cotton. The single component mask can be cut from sheets of substrate using various techniques including laser cutting, die cutting, or other machinery typically of use in clothing manufacture.
