Abstract: A sealing device wherein at least one of the sealing assemblies comprises at least two concentrically arranged rigid wedge rings having confronted conical surfaces, the inner and outer rings having respective inner and outer cylindrical surfaces slidingly confronting the plunger and the cylinder recessed portion, respectively, whereby axial compression of the wedge rings of each sealing assembly causes relative axial displacement and thus radial expansion thereof and forced mating of all confronting surfaces of said rings, plunger and cylinder, wherein the low-pressure end of one of the wedge rings of the first sealing assembly operatively abuts against the corresponding step of the cylinder recess while the second sealing assembly is slidably mounted in the recess and the high-pressure end thereof is exposed to the compressed liquid; and wherein an intermediate chamber defined in the recess between the sealing assemblies is filled with a sealing liquid to which the high pressure of the compressed liquid is t

Abstract: A mixer-ejector with jet effect incorporates inductor nozzles opening into a venturi profile conduit having in succession a highly convergent suction sleeve, a coupling wall and a diffuser. The coupling wall is a variable-profile venturi part, consisting of a hollow sleeve made of a distortable elastic material in a casing with leaktight sealing and incorporates means for introducing a fluid into the enclosure formed by the sleeve and the casing.

Abstract: A sealing device for a high pressure hydraulic piston mechanism in which the gap between the cylinder in which the piston is slideable to pressurize delivery fluid therein is sealed by sealing fluid drawn from a separate supply to that of the delivery fluid, delivery means being associated with the sealing fluid supply and being operable in response to pressurization of the delivery fluid to deliver sealing fluid to said gap at a pressure sufficient to form a seal therein, the sealing fluid of said seal being in direct contact with the pressurized delivery fluid and the piston being movable in at least one hydrostatic bearing supplied with sealing fluid in parallel to the supply thereof to said gap between the piston and the cylinder.
