Abstract: The invention relates to a device for dynamic adjustment of a water flow, used to stabilize the operational mode of a thermostatic mixing tap. The inventive device comprises a valve consisting of a piston (8) and a return spring (17) forcing the piston into a first position, said piston being displaced into two positions according to the flow. When the flow is lower than a threshold value, the piston is located in the first position and a flow limited means (10) limits the flow. When the flow exceeds the threshold value, the piston is displaced into the second position and the flow limiting means is obviated.

Abstract: When cross-country skiing, the sole of the skiers boot is secured at the front, the rear resting on a heel plate, a stirrup or a fixed sole. The novelty is to add a special sole between this footwear and the top of the ski. The front of the sole being held solidly to the ski, the rear has the originality of resting on its support which is non-rigid, compressible, shock absorbent and which springs back. Uses for which this sole is intended: modifying the cross-country ski technique at will, in order to reduce effort. Specifically focused on the ease of skiing and resting while skiing, a new, precise style is enabled. By ricochet, comfort is greatly improved because of the shock absorption.

Title: Snowshoe binding with top buckles
Inventor: EMERSON DANIEL T
IPC: A63C13/00
Filed: 2007-01-18
Granted: 2014-07-08
Abstract: A binding for a snowshoe has, in several different embodiments, a pair of straps to draw the binding tight over a user's boot, the two straps reversing direction at side loop points and being secured to a pair of buckles on a floating tongue at the top of the binding, generally over the ball area of the foot. In one form the straps are anchored at toe points on the binding and extend back in a crossing, X configuration, as in Patent No. 6,814,36 0. In another form the straps are shorter and do not cross, the forward ends being replaced with toe- cradling strap- like members that extend up and back and come together at a pivot connection with a tongue, in this case a shorter tongue, to which the two buckles are connected. The binding tends to open with release of the straps. In a third form the tongue is a larger, padded X-shaped flexible member under which the boot is slid to engage the binding1. Front elements provide a hinged, springing action that lifts the tongue off the boot, opening the binding, when the two buckles are, released. A modular footbed is also disclosed, capable of receiving a series of different front ends for different bindings.
