Patent Images
1. In a piston having an upper piston part and a lower piston part connected together by an expansion screw, the provision of:
- a boring in said lower piston part;
an expansion socket in said boring, said expansion screw extending through and resting on said expansion socket;
a concave supporting surface formed in said boring, having its centre of radius of curvature positioned on the longitudinal axis of said boring, and having radially inner and outer limits;
a multi-part head portion detachably formed on said expansion socket, anda convex supporting surface formed on said head portion, having a radius of curvature less than the radius of curvature of said concave surface, having its centre of radius of curvature positioned outside said longitudinal axis and having radially outer and inner limits, the arrangement being such that tangential contact between said convex and concave surfaces occurs intermediate said radially inner limits of said concave and convex surfaces and said radially outer limits of said concave and convex surfaces.

Abstract
A piston comprising a lower part with a bore having a concave surface against which abuts the convex surface of a head of an expansion socket, the center of curvature of the concave surface lying on the axis of the bore and the head being formed in two halves with each half having a center of curvature lying offset from the axis of the bore.
