HORIZONTAL PULL [12 records]

Record 1 2023-06-29

English

Subject field(s)
  • Mountain Sports
CONT

Circleheads consist of a wire loop with an extra copper swage on the loop, which is pounded into the rock like a copperhead. They are used in horizontal cracks.

CONT

Circleheads are designed to fit in small horizontal flares or underneath roofs. In these places, a regular head will pull from one side, meaning that it’ll probably be levered out. A circlehead pulls evenly from both sides and therefore is more stable.

CONT

Inverted row. Objective : upper body horizontal pull. Description : Hold a low-hanging bar using a pronated(overhand) grip, maintain feet on the floor, keep body straight and rigid, form an incline angle of 20-45 degrees with the floor. Pull the body up to the chest, keeping the elbows close to the body.

CONT

Traction inversée. Objectif : Traction horizontale. Description : Se suspendre à une barre basse avec les mains en pronation (par-dessus la barre), maintenir les pieds au sol, maintenir le corps droit et rigide, dans un angle de 20 à 45 degrés avec le sol. Tirer le corps vers le haut jusqu’à ce que votre poitrine touche à la barre, tout en gardant les coudes près du corps.

Record 4 2008-01-29

English

Subject field(s)
  • Insulators and Supporting Materials (Electr.)
  • Above-Ground Transmission Systems (Electr.)
DEF

A support placed at a point where the line changes in horizontal direction sufficiently to require a special construction to prevent overturning due to the resultant pull of the conductors.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Isolateurs et supports (Électricité)
  • Canalisations aériennes (Électricité)
DEF

Support situé à un point où le tracé de la ligne présente, dans le plan horizontal, un changement de direction suffisamment important pour nécessiter un mode spécial d'établissement du support destiné à empêcher son renversement sous l'effet de l'effort de traction résultant exercé par les conducteurs.

Record 5 2006-12-21

English

Subject field(s)
  • Orthodontics
CONT

Extraoral [...] elastics pull at a horizontal or parallel relationship to the maxillary plane. Therefore, their reciprocal force is balanced between the frontal bone and the mandible. This in turn creates only a horizontal force within the temporomandibular joints. [...] The extraoral elastics should be worn at night and as much as possible during the day in conjunction with the intraoral elastics.

OBS

Used with a facemask.

Key term(s)
  • extra-oral elastic
  • extra oral elastic

French

Domaine(s)
  • Orthodontie
OBS

Utilisé en conjonction avec un masque facial orthopédique pour corriger une malocclusion causée par un défaut de croissance des bases osseuses.

Record 6 2006-06-07

English

Subject field(s)
  • Geomorphology and Geomorphogeny
DEF

The steepness of a hill, measured in per cent and equal to feet of vertical rise per hundred feet of horizontal distance.

CONT

Gravity Forces(Fsl) pull the rider and bike down the slope(GradHill). The slope of a hill is defined here as rise divided by horizontal run. This is expressed as a decimal number.

CONT

... I’m doing some training that requires me to climb some hills at 3%, 5% and 7%. O.K., so we all know how to calculate the grade of a hill ...

CONT

Tracks should have a gradient generally between 3 - 10 degrees. Short sections may have a gradient between 10 - 15 degrees if the soil type allows it and if erosion control devices are effective and skidding can be avoided.

OBS

The term "gradient" may also be used to mean the actual hill or slope.

PHR

Grade of a hill; slope of a hill.

Record 9 1989-05-23

English

Subject field(s)
  • Blasting Work (Mining)
CONT

Large hole cut. This type of cut has evolved from the success achieved with burn cuts, in which parallel horizontal holes are used to pull longer rounds, and in which one or more holes are left uncharged.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Travail aux explosifs (Exploitation minière)
OBS

Les bouchons parallèles à gros trou (...) sont conçus autour d'un trou de diamètre élevé qui joue le rôle de surface libre et de volume de dégagement. L'avancement réalisable dans un tel cas est limité par le diamètre de foration, mais également par les défauts de parallélisme des mines.

Subject field(s)
  • Tunnels, Overpasses and Bridges
CONT

Suspension Bridges.... There are two variations of this type of bridge.... The second variation is to be found in San Francisco's... Bay bridge, which includes tow 700-m. suspension spans end to end. Here the two pairs of stays on the adjoining ends of the suspension spans are fixed to a common anchorage. The horizontal components of the tensions in these cables are equal and opposite so far as the dead weight is concerned and so cancel each other out. The common pier is therefore primarily a gravity anchorage holding the combined vertical pull from the two pairs of stays.
