Abstract: The heel holder (5) can be released when a certain load acting on the binding is exceeded. A strap arrangement (11) is arranged in the connection of a sole hold-down (17) to a part of the heel holder which is essentially fixed to the ski. Two axles (9, 12), which extend transversely to the ski and parallel to its surface in the ready-for-use position of the holder, penetrate the strap arrangement, the sole hold-down (17) being connected to the part, which is essentially fixed to the ski, via the strap arrangement (11) and the axles (9, 12) penetrating the latter. These parts can be locked together by means of a spring-loaded catch/catchpath arrangement (16, 18). In order to allow a compensation for faulty adjustments in such a heel holder (5) despite the simplest design, provision is made for the sole hold-down (17) to be connected to the part, which is essentially fixed to the ski, with positive fit merely via the strap arrangement (11) and for one of the parts of the catch/catchpath arrangement (16, 18) to be connected solely to the part, which is fixed to the ski, or the sole hold-down (17) and the other part of this arrangement to be connected to the respective other component. …<IMAGE>…

Abstract: A seat belt guide loop (50) is comprised of a stamped metal bracket (52) having an aperture adapted to receive a bolt for pivotally mounting the guide loop (50) on a vehicle body pillar. The stamped metal bracket (52) has a belt slot (56) therein of a width somewhat greater than the width of a seat belt (l8) and a height greater than the thickness of the belt (l8). A moulded synthetic plastics cover (60) is moulded  in situ  upon the stamped metal bracket (52) and overlies a lower wall of the belt slot (56) to define a low-friction wall (64) over which the belt (l8) is slidable. This synthetic plastics cover (60) has a clearance slot (68) therein which underlies the low-friction wall and co-operates therewith to define a plastic bridge (70) integral with and supporting the low-friction wall. The clearance slot (68) is of a width somewhat less than the width of the belt (l8). When the belt (l8) is loaded during the restraint of an occupant, the plastic bridge (70) elastically yields so that the low-friction wall (64) bows into a curvilinear, sagging configuration by which the belt (l8) is induced to remain in the centre of the belt slot (56) against any tendency to migrate to a bunched-up condition at one end of the belt slot (56).

Abstract: An air spring (1) for motor vehicles to absorb road shocks includes first and second axially spaced end members (2, 3) with an intervening flexible sleeve (7) forming a fluid pressure chamber therebetween. An improved two-way damping valve (15) connects the pressure chamber (12) to a fluid reservoir (13) and provides damping for the air spring by restricting fluid flow in one direction, either into or out of the pressure chamber, without materially effecting the fluid flow in the opposite direction. The valve (15) includes a flexible diaphragm formed of reinforced rubber having slots which provide one or more flaps. The diaphragm preferably is mounted on a rigid annular washer having a predetermined size center opening forming a damping orifice. The flaps are drawn automatically into the washer opening to restrict the fluid flow through the orifice when the fluid moves in one direction, with the flaps moving away from the orifice to permit free movement of the fluid therethrough when the fluid is moving in an opposite direction. In another embodiment the damping valve is mounted in a strut-type fluid shock absorber combined with an air spring.

Abstract: Various fabrication properties of polyvinyl chloride are improved such as melt flow by treating the polyvinyl chloride resin with a low inherent viscosity-high glass transition temperature enhancing agent. The treatment occurs as a suspension or mass overpolymerization on the polyvinyl chloride resin by reacting at least one high glass transition temperature enhancing agent with at least one chain transfer agent. The formed high glass transition temperature-low inherent viscosity agent imparts a high glass transition temperature to the polyvinyl chloride resin and also reduces the inherent viscosity to a level below the inherent viscosity formed by the combined effect of the polyvinyl chloride resin and the glass transition temperature agent.

Abstract: A mode-locked laser with an active medium (20) for the emission of a basic-frequency radiation, furthermore with a resonator, bounded by a first mirror (12) and a second mirror (14), in which the active medium is arranged, and with a non-linear optical device (26), which is arranged between the active medium (20) and the second mirror (14) and, in combination with the second mirror (14), produces a preferred reflection of the radiation of higher intensity with respect to the radiation of lower intensity and converts the basic-frequency radiation reversibly into radiation of a first frequency and radiation of a second frequency such that, with increasing intensity, the component of the radiation of the second frequency increases, the second mirror (14) reflecting more intensely at the second frequency than at the first frequency. A further development of this laser contains a device (24) for the injection of laser radiation of a further frequency (w2) into the non-linear device (26) and a reflector arrangement which can contain the second mirror (14), is arranged in the path of radiation which emerges from the non-linear device (626), and has a lower reflecting power for the basic-frequency radiation (w1) and for the radiation of the further frequency (w2) than for radiation (w1 + W2; w1 - w2) which results from interaction of the two laser radiations in the non-linear device. In this way, simple synchronisation of the mode-locked laser to the injected laser radiation is possible. The injected laser radiation can originate from a second laser medium which is arranged in a second resonator having a common part with the first resonator. …<IMAGE>…
