Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the treatment of surfaces of wood or woodbase materials with surface treatment compositions, and the timbers or woodbase materials thus treated by impregnating with a curable aqueous composition of ?) low molecular weight compounds V which have at least two N-bonded groups and/or ?) precondensates of the compound V and/or ?) reaction products or mixtures of the compound V with at least one alcohol which is C1-C6-alkanols, C2-C6-polyols or oligoalkylene glycols; treating that impregnated material at elevated temperature and) treating at least one surface of the wood or woodbase material to be treated with a surface treatment composition.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for treating wood or wood material surfaces with surface treatment agents and to the wood or wood materials treated by said method.

Abstract: A method of determining conditions at least necessary for radiation curing pigmented radiation-curable coating materials, and an associated apparatus.

Abstract: A domed protrusion is foreseen at the inner instep side of the shell of a skate boot which facilitates the getting up of the skater from a sidewise splits. Such a skate boot is specifically suitable as ice-hockey goalkeeper's skate boot.

Abstract: At a skate boot a headpiece is foreseen at the cap area of the boot which headpiece protects the foot of an ice-hockey player, specifically the goaltender against impacts and blows stemming from the puck. This headpiece prevents, furthermore, a lateral sliding off of a leg pad.

Abstract: The ankle section of an ice skate, especially an ice hockey skate, should press as little as possible on the ankle of the foot inserted therein, even with tight lacing of the ice skate. For this purpose, the ankle section of the ice skate leg is provided with a recess, and this recess is filled with a pad. The ice skate leg is provided, in the ankle section, with a pivotable leg flap, by means of which the recess and the pad lying therein is coverable from outside. The leg flap is provided with a second lacing region, which cooperates with the other leg lacing. Upon movements of the foot relative to the leg, the pad does not shift relative to the ankle, thus does not rub on the ankle, and accommodate these movements by flexible deformation.

Abstract: A device for extruding ingots, in particular for extruding light metal ingots through a shaping die placed downstream of the ingot, is provided with a scalping facility for removing an outer layer of the ingot immediately prior to extrusion. The said scalping facility is made up of a plurality of blades or similar scalping facilities which together form a scalping ring and can be moved radially with respect to the direction of extrusion, and can be released from the ingot.
