Abstract: A cross-country ski binding (1) for cross-country ski shoes (2) which includes a sole front end (9) having a member which complements and engages a member of the binding (1). A pivot axis member (8) extends transversely to the longitudinal direction of the shoe and approximately parallel with the outsole surface and the binding members includes a retaining hook (3) which partially encompass the pivot axis member (8) and defines a hinge therewith. The retaining hook is adapted to move between a closed position and a release position. An elastically deformable element (10) engages the front of the ski shoe for elastically restoring the shoe (2) from an upward pivotal position to a position approximately parallel with the ski. The retaining hook (3) is maintained in the release position by a locking member (4) which is actuated by stepping the shoe into the binding, and particularly the sole-integrated pivot axis (8) which engages and pivots the locking member to the unlocking position.

Abstract: A method of and an arrangement for burning a liquid or gaseous fuel in a combustion chamber of an internal combustion engine. A method of and an arrangement for burning a liquid or gaseous fuel in the presence of air or another oxidant and by the use of water in a combustion chamber (12) of an internal combustion engine, especially a reciprocating or rotary piston-type engine. To reduce the fuel consumption and the emission of harmful substances and to increase the efficiency when low-octane fuels, especially regular gasoline or acetylene, are used, water is injected during one or several selected phases, in particular during the entire operation, in an operation-dependent quantity direct into the combustion chamber (12) in such a way that a progressive "primary combustion" of fuel/air just below the critical "knock" temperature (T.sub.c) occurs which initiates a "secondary combustion" of the admixed water at any point of combustion.
