This invention relates to a safety binding comprising a soleplate. The usual bindings may release the boot in response to a deflection of the ski caused by large waves. It is an object of the present invention to provide a binding which has a soleplate and which can store a larger energy and will not undesirably release the boot in response to a resilient deflection of the ski. Besides, the bindin...

A safety binding for skiing boots, including a toe holder, a heel holder, a spring-loaded locking member, which is mounted to be displaceable in the direction of its longitudinal axis against a spring force and has a convexly curved head which cooperates with a concavely curved surface of a keeper. The keeper is connected to the heel holder and is pivotally movable relative to the longitudinal axi...

The invention provides a novel and improved method for the preparation of a cellular foamed body of a vinyl chloride-based resin having a very fine and uniform cellular structure with high productivity in a continuous process. According to the inventive method, a vinyl chloride-based resin is admixed with a nucleating agent and a foam conditioning resin which is a specified acrylic resin or a styr...

The invention relates to a reciprocating process and apparatus for laying profile pieces on a base in view of plotting and/or cutting off. The process is characterized by the fact that it comprises the storage into a computer unit (1) of the coordinates of templates, shapes, patterns for cutting out, after the positioning of the base on a plotting or cutting table, the direct or indirect projectio...

In the regulation of a motor-drive unit for a motor vehicle having a heat-engine and a continuously variable ratio transmission, in a clutch-engaged phase the heat-engine fuel feed is controlled so that it is a function of the displacement of the accelerator pedal of the vehicle and of the speed of the heat-engine such that the power delivered by the engine is substantially equal to the power requ...

1. A process for the production of spherical, expandable styrene polymers by polymerization of styrene in the presence of particulate styrene polymer, containing expanding agent, in aqueous suspension, characterized by the following process steps : A. styrene polymer containing expanding agent and having a particle size between 0.1 and 5 mm is impregnated with 10 to 100% by weight (based on the po...

An absorbent cellular polymeric material is provided which exhibits enhanced water retentivity and may also exhibit enhanced compressibility. Such a material is provided by foaming the reaction product of a poly(aminoether) and an epoxy resin and quaternizing the resulting reaction product with, for example, an acid. The foam is particularly usable in products for absorbing body fluids.
