Abstract: An apparatus for de-braiding a braided shield of a wire. The apparatus comprises a brush assembly having a first bristle wheel mounted on a first axis and a second bristle wheel mounted on a second axis wherein the first bristle wheel and the second bristle wheel are positioned with respect to one another to have their respective bristles brush against a braided shield of a wire placed between the first and second bristle wheels; a wheel drive motor; a first flexible drive shaft connecting the wheel drive motor to the first axis to rotate the first bristle wheel; a second flexible drive shaft connecting the first axis to the second axis to rotate the second bristle wheel; and a drive assembly, wherein the drive assembly moves the brush assembly both axially and rotationally with respect to a wire placed between the first bristle wheel and the second bristle wheel.

Abstract: A conveyance device, particularly relating to a shaking pocket star wheel for conveying containers, with a carrier, a reception element and a reception opening for the conveyed material. The reception element is fixed against the force of a spring in a manner so it can be withdrawn and swiveled about an axis of rotation. To simplify the construction of the conveyance device, and to make the design more universal and operationally reliable, a spring is arranged in such a manner that the force is applied substantially at a right angle to the conveyance direction.

Abstract: A sport shoe or boot comprises an integral outer shoe including a plurality of shaped portions of at least two different synthetic resin materials, adjacent portions of different synthetic resin materials being interconnected in overlapping transition areas shaped to fit each other. The outer shoe is manufactured by injecting the different synthetic resin materials in plasticized condition and at staggered intervals into a mold cavity at pre-selected portions thereof, permitting the injected synthetic resin materials to harden in the mold cavity to form the integral outer shoe, and removing the outer shoe from the mold cavity.

Abstract: A skating shoe comprises a shell defining an interior space for receiving a foot and including a sole, a shaft connected to the shell and projecting therefrom for receiving a portion of a leg extending from the foot, a heat-insulating layer extending along the sole and facing the interior space, and tensioning elements affixed to the shell and the shaft for tightening the shell and the shaft about a foot and leg portion received in the interior space and the shell. A bearing device for skating rollers or an ice skating blade supports the skating shoe on a support surface and extends in a longitudinal direction along an underside of the sole and being affixed thereto, and a bearing housing for the skating rollers or ice skating blade extends towards the support surface and is form-fittingly connected to the bearing device.

Abstract: In a device for adjusting the forward lean of upper (3) of a ski boot with a pull and pressure piece (6), which is supported on bottom shell (1) and upper or cuff (3), in which the distance of supporting surfaces (11, 12) on pull and pressure piece (6) interacting with upper or cuff (3) is adjustable for support on bottom shell (1) in lengthwise direction of pull and pressure piece (6), supporting surfaces (11, 12) interacting with upper or cuff (3) interact through the interposition of a damping element (13) made from elastomeric plastic or rubber with an upper and a lower stop face (14, 15) on upper or cuff (3).
