摘要:
The invention relates to a motive device adapted to convert a variation in temperature to which it is subjected into mechanical energy, constituted by a piston mounted to slide by one of its ends in a first chamber and by the other of its ends in a second chamber, said chambers being connected with each other so as to define in the first chamber a first closed volume and in the second chamber a second closed volume, particularly larger than the first, each of said volumes being filled with elastomer under pressure so that each chamber and each corresponding end of the piston constitute a spring involving the hydrostatic compression of the elastomer. The invention is applied to the construction of devices for thermally regulating the functioning of a mechanism.
摘要:
The invention is concerned with an absorbing spring involving the hydrostatic compression of an elastomer, comprising a tight casing constituted by a deformable, bent elastic tube of flattened section, filled with elastomer. A central core is embedded in the elastomer, the core being made of elastic material, the coefficient of heat expansion of which is lower than that of the tube. The invention finds particular application in the manufacture of absorbing devices.
