Abstract: An agricultural machine comprises a self-propelled chassis (1) and an arrangement for displacement of the working member (9) over the field surface, comprising a hermetic chamber (3) with a port (4), a source (2) of a fluid agent pumped into the chamber (3) under a pressure, and a flexible hose (7) wound onto a drum (5) and internally accommodating a tractive element (8). A section of the tractive element (8) projecting from a free end of the hose (7) mounts an attachment carrying the working member (9) and movably connected with the flexible hose (7). The free end of the hose (7) is passed through the chamber (3), turned inside out and hermetically secured in the port (4) of the chamber (3) so that it forms an annular space (A) communicating with the chamber (3) and by changing its volume under the action of the fluid agent moves the hose (7) over the field, which pushes in front of itself the attachment carrying the working member (9).

Abstract: A method of removing deposits from the inside surface of a pipeline and applying a protective coating thereto includes cleaning the pipeline inside surface and treating this surface with a solution of corrosion inhibitor to form a coating on the pipeline inside surface followed by a subsequent treatment with a solution of corrosion inhibitor to maintain the strength of the coating thus applied. The method provides for cleaning of the inside surface by jets of liquid which produce a pressure differential between the core of deposits and their surface to separate the deposits from the pipeline walls, while simultaneously impregnating the remaining layer of deposits with a solution of corrosion-promoting agent and subsequently impregnating the layer with a solution of corrosion inhibitor to form a coating.

Abstract: According to the method of coating the internal surface of a pipeline with a cement-sand mortar, a layer (4) of the mortar is formed on said surface and is pressed and held by a flexible hose (5). Before the flexible hose is pressed to the mortar layer (4) the flexible hose (5) is turned out and placed simultaneously with the formation of the mortar layer. The device effecting the method as claimed has a cement-sand fed system (11), a piston (3) arrnged in the pipeline (1) with an annular clearance (12) to distribute the mortar layer on the internal surface of the pipeline, a chamber (13) accommodating the flexible hose (5) and communicating therewith by a flowing medium feed system (15), said flowing medium serving as a means for feeding, turning out and pressing the flexible hose (5) to the mortar layer (4) formed on the surface of the pipeline.

Abstract: The claimed pipeline is made of coaxially arranged envelopes rigidly connected to each other, in which case the internal envelope is made of nonhermetic layers and hermetically sealed layers (3, 4) and the whole set of envelopes is impregnated with a binder (5) and forms a monolithic structure, the external envelope (1) being made of a ground (2).The method consists in forming hole (11) in the ground and insertion into the ground of the nonhermetic layers and hermetically sealed layers (3, 4) of the internal envelope, impregnation of its ground (2) with a binder (5) and followed by expansion and densing of the envelopes by producing an excess pressure of the working medium in the pipeline (9).

Abstract: According to the invention, the device comprises a housing (1), two chambers (2, 3) interconnected through a pipeline (4) and disposed in the housing opposite to each other. Each chamber (2 or 3) has a piston made in the form of an elastic sleeve (10 and 11), whose one end is turned inside out and secured to the inner surface of the pipeline (4) at the point of its connection to the chamber (2 to 3). Each piston is kinematically connected to the working member (7) via a shaft (5 or 6) mounted in the chamber (2 to 3), one end of which is kinematically connected to the working member (7), and a drum (8 or 9) connected to the other end of the shaft (5 or 6) and provided with a reverser. Secured on the drums (8 and 9) are the other ends of the sleeves (10 and 11). The pressure space formed by the spaces of the chambers (2, 3) and the space of the pipeline (4) is communicated with a fluid medium supply system (14).

Abstract: A device for coating the internal surface of a pipeline with a cement-sand mixture, includes a mechanism (1) for applying a coating, systems (2 and 3) of feeding the cement-sand mixture and the working medium, hoses (4 and 5) a pull rope (6) and a winch (7). Wound on the shaft (8) of the winch drum (7) are the pull rope (6) and the hoses (4 and 5), some ends of which pass through the cavity of the shaft (8) and communicate through the supporting assemblies (11) of the shaft with respective systems (2 and 3) for feeding the mixture and working medium, and the other ends of which are connected to the mechanism for applying a coating. A joint winding or reeling off of the hoses (4 and 5) and the pull rope (6) make it possible to substantially streamline the maintenance of the device, as well as freely pass the working medium and the cement-sand mixture and water for washing the hose (5) through the hoses.

Abstract: A method consists in introducing a flexible sleeve (4) into a pipeline (2), advancing the sleeve through the pipeline (2) and urging it against the internal surface of the pipeline (2) by building up excessive pressure in the space defined by the pipeline (2) and the sleeve (4), the latter having its end turned inside out and secured to the internal surface of the pipeline (2). To join the sleeve (4) to the pipeline (2) and provide a protective coating on the internal surface of the pipeline (2), the latter is heated from inside.An apparatus for performing the method includes a system (1) for supplying a working fluid into the pipeline (2), a system for introducing a flexible sleeve (4) into the pipeline (2), means for heating the pipeline (2) and a system for timing the motion of the sleeve (4) and of the heating means.
