ABSTRACT:
Leakage of viscous material past an ejector piston, for example the piston of a clay gun employed in plugging blast furnace tapholes, is eliminated by a piston and ring design which exposes in excess of 50% of the leading and inner diameter surfaces of an expandable ring directly to the viscous material. Also, the leading face of the piston ring is outwardly inclined in the direction of piston travel and a complementary surface to this inclined face is provided on the piston. Expansion of the ring results from the reaction on the inclined face and inner diameter of the pressurized viscous material.
