Abstract: The invention relates to a ski clip, which is used to fasten ski poles (6a, 6b) to skis (7). In general the simultaneous transport of a pair of skis (7)and a pair of ski poles (6a, 6b) poses problems as the use of both hands is required. It is therefore difficult to simultaneously hold the skis (7), ski poles (6a, 6b) and other objects or to hold onto retaining bars in buses and gondolas when transporting skis (7). The disadvantage of attachments for solving said problem in prior art is that the ski pole holders have to be stored separately when not in use and in addition are inconvenient to use. The invention solves said problem by the permanent attachment of a fixing device (1a, 1b) to the ski pole (6a, 6b), whereby a forked clamping piece (5a, 5b) that can be folded out is fastened to said fixing device and a pair of skis (7) can be clamped between the limbs (9) of said piece.

Abstract: The invention describes a pivotable binding system (1) for mounting between a sports device (2) and a tread surface (5) for a user's foot, in which the tread surface (5) is pivotable about an axis extending more or less parallel with the ankle joint of the foot and is displaceable, at least in a part region assigned to the toes, to a position closer to the sports device (2), and can be joined to the sports device by at least one binding element (11). The binding element (11) is flexible and is resiliently deformable in a vertical plane (8).

Abstract: In a connector including first and second contacts having first and second contact points, respectively, an actuator is provided rotatable between a closed position and an open position and includes a cam portion faced to a connection object and a cutout portion adjacent to the cam portion. The first contact further has an engaging portion and a first beam portion elastically supporting the engaging portion to a housing. The engaging portion has a recess faced to the connection object and engaged with the cam portion. The second contact further has a contacting portion disposed at the cutout portion and a second beam portion elastically supporting the contacting portion to the housing. The contacting portion has a shape such that the contacting portion surrounds the cam portion in cooperation with the recess and biases the actuator towards the open position when the actuator is located near the open position.

Abstract: The invention describes a friction bearing with a steel support shell and a lead-free bearing metal layer on the basis of copper with the main alloy elements of tin and zinc, which layer is applied to the support shell. In order to combine advantageous sliding properties with favorable mechanical resilience it is proposed that the bearing metal layer has a share of tin of 2.5 to 11% by weight and a share of zinc of 0.5 to 5% by weight, with the sum total of the shares of tin and zinc being between 3 and 13% by weight.

Abstract: The present invention is a universal tape measure jacket with dual retractable marking means capabilities. The universal tape jacket with dual marking means when retrofit over conventional tape measures creates an affordable measure and marking system. The tape locking means on most conventional tape measures could also be modified to be able to link with either/or of the retractable marking means on the universal tape jacket; thus, the user has the option to lock the tape coil into a fixed position and then manually engage one or both of the dual markers independent of the tapes locking means or when linked with one or more of the retractable markers, make them work in conjunction with the tape measures locking means.

Abstract: An extruder head for extrusion blow-molding plastic containers includes a ring gap nozzle with a mandrel and a ring-shaped nozzle body. An elastically deformable sleeve is arranged on an end of the nozzle outlet side and defines a gap width which can be varied by axial setting movements of the mandrel and/or the nozzle body. The geometry of the nozzle gap can be influenced by radially deforming the sleeve with setting devices during the extrusion of a hose-shaped preformed blank. The sleeve may be moved in a radial direction and is guided on sliding surfaces which support it in upward and downward directions. The sleeve may be in the form of a cylinder or tube. A lower edge of the sleeve shapes a cross-section of a melt stream exiting from the ring gap nozzle.

Abstract: Having conductive contacts (4), a first insulator (1) retaining the contacts, and a cable-side insulator, attachable/detachable relative to the first insulator, for retaining a flat cable (6). The cable-side insulator includes a second insulator (2) for receiving the flat cable, a third insulator (3) disposed so as to confront the second insulator via the flat cable, and a clamp (7) interposed between the flat cable and the third insulator. When the cable-side insulator is mounted to the first insulator, the second and third insulators are engaged with the first insulator to approach each other so that the flat cable is sandwiched between the clamp and the second insulator. In this state, the flat cable is connected to the contacts.

Abstract: A wide angle reflector which can work in conjunction with a wide-angle sensor system for testing the wide angle reflector. In this case, reflex sensors transmit light onto a cube corner part surface, and measure the retro-reflected light. If the direction of irradiation of the light deviates too strongly from the normal to the cube corner part surface, the retro-reflective light, which serves as signal, is retro-reflected too weakly, or is not retro-reflected at all to the transmitter. This wide-angle sensor system with a cube corner part surface permits the observation of a large surface with an aperture angle of 80° and more. In addition, the wide-angle sensor system with cube corner part surface comprises a gauge for selecting the observation angle and the cube corner part surface which comprises a multiplicity of cube corners.

Abstract: The invention relates to a lacing system (2) for a shoe (1), in particular for an inner shoe, with a cord-type or lace-type tensioning means (12) and looping means (11) for the tensioning means (12) arranged on oppositely lying wall regions (8, 9) of a shoe cut-out (5) extending from an entry opening (3) approximately to as far as an ankle region (4) and having at least one fixing means (18) for the tensioning means (12).

Abstract: A multi-pole, multi-row plug-and-socket connector with shielding, for placement on printed circuit boards, circuit cards, and similar electrical components, which can be used in an electrical or electronic system includes electrical contact parts for the transmission of signals, which possess a connection section on one end and an electrically conductive attachment section on the other end, as well as an electrical shielding, which possesses at least one electrically conductive contact section. The free ends of the electrically conductive attachment sections of the electrical contact parts are SMD contacts. The at least one electrically conductive contact section of the shielding is, at the same time, an attachment pin which projects into a passage hole of the printed circuit board when the plug-and-socket connector is disposed on the same, for the purpose of connective soldering using THR technology.

Abstract: The invention relates to an article delivery receptacle (10) comprising an electronic code lock (11). When delivering articles (8), the delivery person opens the receptacle (10) by entering a delivery code (6) into the electronic code lock (11). During the ordering process, the addressee (1) conveys the required delivery code (6) to the delivery person (9) via the supplier (9) of the ordered articles (8). After the articles (8) are deposited in the receptacle, the receptacle (10) is locked once again so that the articles (8) placed therein are protected from theft. After a successful delivery, the code lock (11) is blocked so that it is no longer possible to open the delivery receptacle (10) using the delivery code (6). The addressee can remove the delivered articles (8) from the receptacle (10) by using an addressee key (12) which only the addressee possesses. After removing the articles (8), the delivery receptacle is enabled once again for receiving subsequent deliveries of articles.
