A b S T R A C T : It is well known that the use of the blowing agent monofluortrichloromethane, also called Freon 11 or R-11, for the production of polyurethane foam is highly disadvantageous in -that R-11 has a decomposing effect on the ozone layer around our planet. In spite of a vast scientific research it has not so far been possible to provide a practically usable substitute for R-11, but suc...

The invention relates to a front jaw having a release spring through which a tension rod passes, which release spring acts via a slide on the shorter lever arms of two angle levers which are pivotable about horizontal axes on a bearing part and whose longer lever arms rest on the front end of the sole of a ski boot. In order to improve the release operation with such a front jaw, the invention pro...
