20090044710Square Baler for Forming Sliced Bales - A baler is described for forming square bales made up of several separately tied slices. The baler has a bale chamber and a plurality of needles movable in unison through the bale chamber to pass respective strands of twine from one side of the bale chamber to associated knotters located on the opposite side of the bale chamber. A first set of permanently operative knotters knot strands of twine tied around individual slices on each occasion that the needles are moved through the bale chamber. A second set of knitters configured to be selectively disabled by movement of a frame carrying their twine engaging components to a position out of reach of the tip of the needles, knot the remaining strands of twine only at the end of the formation of a complete bale.02-19-2009

20120084987Shaped Fit Sizing System - A revolutionary, new sizing and fitting system for jeans is based on the concept of shape, not size. This sizing and fitting system is organized around some basic body shapes categories: e.g., slight curve (straighter figure, flatter fanny), demi curve (evenly proportioned hip and seat) and bold curve (smaller waist, larger seat). To use the system, the consumer finds their shape using a shape measuring tool. The shape measuring tool calculates a shape category based on a differential of two measurements in the seat area. With this shape category information, the consumer can easily locate a pair of form-fitting jeans. The sizing and fitting system is also applicable to pants, shorts, skirts, and other clothing where form fit is desirable in the seat and hip area.04-12-2012
