  • Patent number: 11020650
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 10967243
    Abstract: A ski binding with a binding element mounted displaceably on a slide rail arranged on a ski and which can be fixed in different positions by a latching device, wherein the latching device has latch elements which engage in each other in a blocking position on the binding and ski sides, and the binding-side latch element has a pivotable lever element that in a displacement position the latch elements are not in engagement with each other, wherein the binding element has an operating element with an oblique run-on surface which is transferred between open and closed positions, wherein the operating element, upon transfer of the operating element to the open position, cooperates with an oblique contact surface of the lever element such that the lever element is moved out of the blocking position.

  • Patent number: 10688421
    Abstract: 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.
