Abstract: A hybrid cord of at least two multifilament yarns twisted together is described, where the first yarn is a viscose multifilament yarn and the second yarn is a non-metallic multifilament yarn composed of a material that is not identical to the first multifilament yarn. The viscose multifilament yarn is conditioned in the standard climate in accordance with DIN EN ISO 139-1:2005, and has a yarn linear density <1100 dtex and a breaking tenacity of ?45 cN/tex. The hybrid cord has a cord linear density of ?3000 dtex.

Abstract: Belt bandage for a vehicle pneumatic tire that includes a ply having strength carriers embedded in an unvulcanized rubber mixture. The strength carriers run essentially parallel to one another. Each strength carrier includes a hybrid cord that has a first twisted yarn having a high modulus of elasticity of at least approximately 25000 N/mm2 and a second twisted yarn having a low modulus of elasticity which is no greater than approximately 15000 N/mm2. The first and second twisted yarns are final-twisted together.

Abstract: Olefins can be epoxidized using catalysts I ##STR1## where M is a metal of the 4th to 7th transition group of the Periodic Table of the Elements,L.sup.1 is an amine oxide, phosphine oxide, arsine oxide, pyridine N-oxide or pyridine ligand of the formula II, III, VII or VIII,L.sup.2 is a customary auxiliary ligand or a further ligand L.sup.1 or a free coordination site,X is oxo oxygen or an imido ligand,m is 1 or 2, andn is 1, 2 or 3.

Abstract: A switching device has a switch and an actuating member displaceable in switching on and switching off directions and tiltable in engaging and disengaging directions coordinated with one another so that when the actuating member moves in switching on direction and tilts in engaging direction it switches on the switch and is arrested, and when the actuating member moves in switching off direction and disengaging direction it is released and switches off the switch. The actuating member is tiltable about an axis located in a plane which extends between a point of connection with the spring and gripping surfaces provided on the actuating member.

Abstract: A tool chuck, especially for holding tool bits, for example twist drills, and for use with a machine tool, in particular a portable electric drill. The chuck is so constructed as to permit secure holding of the tool bit even when used in percussion drills or impact hammer drills, while at the same time providing protection for the elastic internal element which provides axial movement. The tool chuck has a core or mandrel surrounded by a hollow conical collar which includes at least two chuck jaws and the elastic member is located between the core and the collar to apply an axial force between these two parts when the chuck is closed on a tool bit while being protected against direct exposure to the impacts sustained by the chuck jaws.
