Patent number: 11020650Abstract: The invention relates to a cross-country or ski touring binding for connecting a boot to a ski in an articulated manner, comprising a binding base body with a standing surface for a sole of the boot and a ski contact surface for at least indirect contact with the ski. The binding has a holding device comprising a receiving element which allows the boot to and a holding element for holding the boot on the receiving element. The holding element moves between a closed position holding the boot on the receiving element and an open position releasing the boot. The binding also has an actuating element with a rotating handle for switching the holding element from the closed to the open position, comprising a substantially disk-shaped, eccentrically mounted force-transmission element received in a recess of the holding element.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 2017Date of Patent: June 1, 2021Assignee: FISCHER SPORTS GMBHInventors: Nicolas Fellin, Hannes Kogler

Patent number: 10688421Abstract: A strainer for filtration in an oil circuit of a turbine engine, in particular a multi-flow turbojet engine, is housed in a bore of a lubrication assembly. The oil serves to lubricate and cool mechanisms of the turbine engine. The strainer includes a filtering portion as an angular tube portion and a holding structure for the filtering portion. The structure forms a thickening and exhibits rings and structural posts. A magnet is added in a socket formed by the structure. The structure and the filtering portion are integral and are produced by additive manufacturing, which simplifies production. The application likewise relates to a method of producing the strainer.Type: GrantFiled: August 5, 2016Date of Patent: June 23, 2020Assignee: SAFRAN AERO BOOSTERS SAInventors: Jean-Louis Jacquerie, Tom Henkes, Laurent Tossens, Nicolas Fellin, Mathieu Chenoux
