Abstract: A fixed grip chairlift comprises a continuously moving conveyor for transporting the skiers to the loading point, where they are catched up by the chair which moves at a higher speed. The chair impact is thus reduced and the chairlift speed may be increased. The conveyor comprises an endless belt which passes around two drums, each drum being barrel like shaped to centralise the belt on the drums during running. The drum outer surface has holes to allow the snow transported by the belt towards the drum to escape.

Abstract: The image receiving sheet according to the present invention is an image receiving sheet which receives dye migrated by heat from a heat transfer sheet, wherein the image receiving sheet includes a substrate (3), a dye receiving layer (3) provided on one surface of the substrate and a curl prevention layer. The curl prevention layer includes a non-heat stretchable and shrinkable resin having a heating stretching or shrinking ratio within the range from -1.0 to 1.5% in JIS-K-6734 provided on the surface of the substrate on the side opposite to the above dye receiving layer, or between the substrate and the dye receiving layer. In the present invention, by having such a curl prevention layer as mentioned above, generation of curl by heat during image formation can be prevented to provide an image receiving sheet excellent in both conveyability of sheet and printing quality.

Abstract: The invention relates to a breech wedge for artillery cannon, of a type that includes means for supporting a primer-cartridge magazine that is driven in translation and rotation under the control of an assembly consisting of a rack and pinion. This first pinion is mounted on a shaft supporting a second pinion, which cooperates with a second rack integral with a fork sliding on the wedge. A control lever pivots on the breech sleeve and supports a roller, which cooperates with a groove in the fork in such a way as to slide the fork on the breech wedge. A second roller cooperates with a groove in the wedge in such a way as to cause the wedge to slide on the breech sleeve.
