Pressure-producing device

摘要

The pressure-producing device (10) comprises a housing (30) which is slidable relative to a stationary piston (60), the housing (30) movable within a substantially blind bore (12) to effect the pressurization of fluid. A body (14) containing the blind bore (12) includes a retention member (22) located adjacent an end opening (16) of the blind bore (12). The pressure-producing device (10) is received within the blind bore (12) wherein a closed end (32) with a seal (44) thereabout defines with an end of the blind bore (12) a pressurizing chamber (50). The piston (60) is received slidably and sealingly within an interior opening (39) of the housing (30) and extends from an end opening (34) thereof in order to engage the retention member (22) and position stationarily the piston (60). The housing (30) and piston (60) are displaced away from one another by a pressurized medium within the housing (30 ). The piston's (60) stationary position enables the housing (30) to slide within the blind bore (12) and effect the pressurization of fluid received within the chamber (50).
