Record 1 2012-04-19

English

Subject field(s)
  • Horse Racing and Equestrian Sports
CONT

Shotgun chaps offer the rider a better grip on the saddle through leather to leather contact, and they protect his legs in brushy terrain. Made of slit cowhide, they cover the rider's legs and belt around the hips, the side zipper on each leg often being covered with fringe.

OBS

Unlike the batwing chaps, shotguns zip tight the full length of the leg. They are required in many western horse show classes and are often decorated with silver buckles and conchas.

OBS

chaps: Used with a plural verb.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Courses hippiques et sports équestres
CONT

Les chaps (chapareijos) sont des jambières de cuir qui procurent une meilleure adhérence, protègent les jambes des rugosités de la selle et aussi du froid et des intempéries. Il y en a deux styles : l'un ferme les jambières avec des agrafes; l'autre, qui est plus populaire, les ferme avec des fermeture-éclair.

OBS

Il faut éviter de dire «chaps à fermeture éclair» ou «jambières à fermeture éclair» car «fermeture éclair» est une marque déposée.

Record 5 2000-01-11

English

Subject field(s)
  • Preoperative and Postoperative Treatment
DEF

A new, stitch-free wound closure technique for closing surgical incisions used at Brooklyn’s Maimonides Medical Center. The zipper is generally quicker to apply than sutures or staples, leaves a less disfiguring scar and can simply be peeled off in the shower after about 10 days.

CONT

Looking like an oversized white gauze bandage, the surgical zipper is a polyester patch with a polyethylene zipper running down the middle. The underside is coated with an adhesive like a Band-Aid. To close an incision, the surgeon peels off the paper strip exposing the adhesive, and places one edge on each side of the wound. While gently putting up on the tab, the surgeon pulls the zipper shut; as the zipper comes together so too do the edges of the skin. The process takes less than two minutes.

Prickstitch is a much more decorative backstitch than the even or the half-backstitch. Seen from the top side, the stitches are very short, with long spaces between them. This stitch is mainly used to hand-pick a zipper.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Techniques d'exécution et points de couture
CONT

Le point renforcé est un point arrière beaucoup plus élégant que le point de piqûre ou de demi-piqûre. Sur l'endroit, les points sont plus courts que les espacements. On utilise surtout ce point pour coudre à la main les fermetures à glissière.
