Abstract: A braking device, for a motor vehicle, comprising: a master cylinder (2), a primary piston (3) mounted to slide in the master cylinder, a manual-control member (4), a booster coupled to the manual-control member, an emergency assist valve (VA) comprising a reaction piston (17a) and a rapid piston (17b), and a ratio control (T) actuated by a plunger distributor (10) driven by the manual-control member (4). The reaction piston (17a) and the rapid piston (17b) form one and the same stepped piston (17) having a part (17a) of large cross section and a part (17b) of small cross section, the large-section part (17a) determining, with a first bore (18) of the primary piston (3), a variable-volume annular chamber (27). A separation/communication assembly (28, 29, 30), controlled by the displacement of the stepped piston (17), is designed so that the pressure of the liquid is exerted effectively on the large cross section (17a) of the stepped piston when the stepped piston occupies a position of rest or is to the rear of the position of rest, and on only the small cross section (17b) when the stepped piston is displaced forward relative to the main piston under emergency braking.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un allumeur à plasma servant à allumer directement un fourneau à poudre de charbon. Ledit allumeur à plasma est constitué de: un générateur de plasma qui comprend une anode composite, un ensemble cathode, une bobine électromagnétique et une bobine de transmission; un brûleur à poudre de charbon qui comprend des tuyaux servant au transport du charbon à allumer, un équipement servant au réglage de la grosseur de la poudre de charbon et un corps de brûleur à quatre étages; et une armature de générateur. Ledit ensemble cathode est constitué d'une plaque cathodique, d'un écrou de fixation, d'une conduite, d'un tuyau d'entrée, d'un tuyau de guidage d'entrée, d'un couvercle de cathode et d'une entretoise d'étanchéité. Le revêtement servant à la génération de l'arc électrique est assemblé avec la partie avant de l'ensemble cathode. Une plaque d'alliage est utilisée comme plaque cathodique. La buse qui est utilisée pour le refroidissement de la cathode est d'abord convergente, puis elle s'élargit, et elle est placée au centre de la conduite. L'allumeur à plasma présente l'avantage de produire une combustion stable. Il peut être utilisé non seulement comme brûleur principal d'une chaudière mais également comme brûleur d'allumage. Etant donné qu'on n' utilise pas de mazout, on peut économiser beaucoup de pétrole.

Abstract: The invention concerns a safety gas valve ( 1 ) provided with a safety closure ( 23 ) and an operating lever ( 12 ) for the closure. The lever ( 12 ) is mounted mobile in rotation about an axis L in a cavity ( 34 ) circulating the gas and comprises two tabs ( 122, 123 ) extending transversely to the axis L, one driving and the other driven. The driving tab ( 122 ) drives the lever in rotation, and hence the driven tab ( 123 ) which is secured thereto, in response to a stress A when the valve is opened. The driven tab ( 123 ) enables to push back the safety closure ( 23 ) into an opening position allowing the gas to flow in the valve. If both tabs extend along respective mutually perpendicular directions, the lever ( 12 ) enables the cocking movement to return by 90 degrees. Said device reduces the thickness of the valve body, in particular for its fixing into a built-in cooking plate.
