Abstract: A method of and system used for venting out buildup of explosive gases in a manhole caused by an explosion and including a support frame, a two inch thick plate member positioned on top of the support frame, a plurality of restraining assemblies and a manhole cover for covering the manhole. The support frame and the plate member are embedded into a street and positioned above the manhole, where openings are aligned with the manhole. Three retaining assemblies are positioned on opposite sides o.f the manhole cover. Each retaining assembly includes a rod, a stop plate, a coil spring, a support plate and a nut. The rod extends downwardly through the dirt and the horizontal concrete base ledge, where the stop plate, the coil spring, the support plate and the nut are positioned and secured to the other end of the rod. A PVC pipe is provided with the rod for allowing the rod to move smoothly up and down without any friction. When an explosion occurs in the manhole, the pressure caused by the explosion lifts the plate member from a seated position on the main support frame above the manhole which in turn upwardly moves the rod, the stop plate, the coil spring, the support plate and the nut, where the explosive gases are vented out between the plate member and the main support frame. The stop plate, coil spring, the support plate and the nut absorb most of the energy caused by the explosion. The spring soften the impact and assist in bringing the plate member back down to the main support frame in alignment with the manhole.

Abstract: The snow ski is pivotally attached to a snowmobile in order for it to be pivotable about its longitudinal, steering and transversal axes that intersect each other. The ski has a ski sole from which integrally project first and second elongated front lateral keels and an elongated rear central keel. Moreover, rear ski sole depressions are made in the ski sole, at the vicinity of the rear keel. When the ski is in a straight-line position for allowing the snowmobile to move forward in a straight line, it adopts a fiat ground-engaging position in which all three keels rest on the ground surface. When the ski is in a turn-carving position for allowing the snowmobile to move forward while turning in a desired direction, the ski is tilted sidewardly with only the central keel and a selected one of the first and second lateral keels resting on the ground, to carve the ground surface in order for the ski to exhibit a self steering behavior with enhanced gripping effect. When the ski is in this turn-carving position, the ski sole may be prevented from engaging the ground due to the rear ground clearance of the ski sole, even though the ski may become tilted about its longitudinal, steering and transversal axes.
