Force-Barrier
First Claim
1. A force-barrier mechanism comprising:
- a force-barrier body;
a reciprocating body; and
a static body;
wherein the reciprocating body is adapted to reciprocate along a certain path of the static body during operation of the force-barrier mechanism, and has at least one step;
wherein the force-barrier body is adapted to reciprocate along at least a portion of the same path as the reciprocating body reciprocates, and has at least one step which is adapted to be laid on the at least one step of the reciprocating body;
wherein the static body includes a path for one or both of the reciprocating body and force-barrier body, and has at least one step which allows the force-barrier force-barrier body to lie on; and
wherein the at least one step of the reciprocating body, the static body, and the force-barrier body allows for the force-barrier body to be laid just on the reciprocating body, just on the static body, or on both the reciprocating body and the static body.

Abstract
The Force-Barrier is a very fast force applier and remover on or from a reciprocating body. The Force-Barrier is a completely passive device. It needs no control, and switches the force always at the same location regardless the orientation and gravity. In case the reciprocating body is driven by pressurized liquid or compressed gas, the Force-barrier is a substitute to a directional valve, or on-off valve, but faster, consuming less energy, and not being in need of control. The Force-Barrier enables the use of at least one spring and/or at least one electro motor in rebound-effectors and other reciprocating devices. The Force-Barrier may be implemented as a disk placed in between a cylinder and a piston, wherein the cylinder has two internal diameters, and the piston has two external diameters, and wherein there is a step between the two diameters of the piston and the two diameters of the cylinder.
