Abstract: The invention relates to a cross-linked, water-swellable polymer that contains polymerized into it moieties of a) water-soluble, monoethylenically unsaturated monomers, and b) 0.001 to 5 mole % based on the monomers a) of a cross-linking combination, b1) a frist cross-linking agent with at least two (meth)acrylic ester moieties in the molecule and b2) a second cross-linking agent with at least two (meth)allyloxy moieties in the molecule, the molar ratio of b1) to b2) ranging from 0.7:1 to 10:1. The polymer according to the invention has a balanced property profile as regards absorptivity, gel strength, absorption speed and extractable componenents and can be advantageously produced by a continuous method.

Abstract: A vehicle seat backrest suitable for allowing the attachment of a child seat, the backrest comprising a rigid structure and an anchoring system comprising an anchor rod to permit to a coupling member belonging to the child seat to be anchored on the anchor rod via the rear face of the rigid structure. The anchoring system comprises a rigid plate comprising retainer suitable for retaining the anchor rod by abutment contact when the coupling member of the child seat exerts forces on the said anchor rod.

Abstract: A rubber composition including a natural or synthetic rubber, and an adhesive resin capable of unexpected adhesion to metal, polymer and glass substrates, particularly cords in radical tires, hoses, conveyor belts, transmission belts, and the like by the addition of a liquid composition containing long chain esters, including mono, di- and trimesters.
