Abstract
Abstract An arrangement for discharging liquid medium under a high pressure from a feed pipe having a tubular end portion, includes a jet support with a jet. The jet support is installed inside the tubular end portion of the feed pipe. The jet support has an inlet, an outlet and passages which connect the inlet to the outlet and are so formed and shaped as to increase the pressure of the liquid medium as the same exits the arrangement through the outlet. The jet support is screwed into the tubular end portion of the feed pipe and sealingly connected thereto.

Total Claims: 28
Claim 1
Independent Claim
208 words
An arrangement for discharging liquid at a predetermined high pressure level from a feed pipe having a tubular end portion, comprising jet means adapted to be installed in the tubular end portion of the feed pipe and including a jet, a holder for the jet and a support for the holder and having a first portion and an axially spaced second portion adapted to be located inside said tubular end portion and having a smooth outer cylindrical circumference engageable with a corresponding inner circumference of said tubular end portion substantially without any radial clearance therebetween, said jet means further including an inlet, an outlet spaced from said inlet and passage means connecting said inlet with said outlet and including an inner recess provided in said second portion of said holder and having a funnel-shaped cross section converging in direction towards said first portion so as to increase the pressure of incoming liquid up to said predetermined level as the medium issues through said outlet; and connecting means for sealingly and detachably installing said jet means in said tubular end portion, including an outer thread provided in said first portion of said support and engageable with a corresponding inner thread in said tubular end portion of said feed pipe.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
208 words
An arrangement for discharging liquid at a predetermined high pressure level from a feed pipe having a tubular end portion, comprising jet means adapted to be installed in the tubular end portion of the feed pipe and including a jet, a holder for the jet and a support for the holder and having a first portion and an axially spaced second portion adapted to be located inside said tubular end portion and having a smooth outer cylindrical circumference engageable with a corresponding inner circumference of said tubular end portion substantially without any radial clearance therebetween, said jet means further including an inlet, an outlet spaced from said inlet and passage means connecting said inlet with said outlet and including an inner recess provided in said second portion of said holder and having a funnel-shaped cross section converging in direction towards said first portion so as to increase the pressure of incoming liquid up to said predetermined level as the medium issues through said outlet; and connecting means for sealingly and detachably installing said jet means in said tubular end portion, including an outer thread provided in said first portion of said support and engageable with a corresponding inner thread in said tubular end portion of said feed pipe.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
53 words
An arrangement as defined in claim 1, wherein said second portion has a circumferential wall having said outer cylindrical surface and an inner surface converging towards said first portion so that the thickness of said circumferential wall increases from an end face of said second portion in said direction towards said first portion.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
42 words
An arrangement as defined in claim 2, and further comprising means for preventing an undesired further axial movement of said jet support into said tubular end portion when said jet support is inserted into said tubular end portion until a predetermined level.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
65 words
An arrangement as defined in claim 3, wherein said preventing means include said end face of said second portion adapted to engage an inner annular shoulder provided on the inner circumference of said tubular end portion at said predetermined level so that when said end face engages said inner annular shoulder any further axial movement of the jet support into the feed pipe is eliminated.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
25 words
An arrangement as defined in claim 4, wherein said jet support engages with said end face thereof said annular inner shoulder substantially axially clearance free.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
54 words
An arrangement as defined in claim 5, wherein said wall is so shaped and dimensioned as to permit an elastical expansion thereof under pressure of the liquid medium flowing through the arrangement, so that said wall expands radially and outwardly and further into sealing contact with said inner circumference of said tubular end portion.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
35 words
An arrangement as defined in claim 6, wherein said second portion has an axially decreasing wall thickness, to thereby provide said wall with such a thickness as to permit the elastic expansion of the same.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
19 words
An arrangement as defined in claim 7, wherein said inner surface of said second portion is radially outwardly concaved.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
15 words
An arrangement as defined in claim 8, wherein said jet support is of one piece.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
27 words
An arrangement as defined in claim 8, wherein said jet support is of at least two separate pieces inserted into said tubular end portion one after another.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
64 words
An arrangement as defined in claim 10, wherein said jet support has a first piece constituting said first portion and having said outer thread for connecting to said inner thread on said inner circumference of said tubular end portion, and a second piece constituting said second portion and having said outer cylindrical surface engaging the corresponding inner cylindrical surface of said tubular end portion.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
20 words
An arrangement as defined in claim 11, wherein said first piece is provided with said jet holder receiving said jet.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim
