ABSTRACT:
A pneumatic oscillator of the type having an operating piston reciprocable in a cylinder to control a poppet valve arrangement so as to control a gas flow path, and biassed to the flow path-closing condition with feedback of output supplementary to the bias in opposition to source pressure, is characterized by a piston seal comprising an O-ring having both radial and axial clearance in a retaining groove in the piston to provide low friction, and by a resilient buffer to arrest the piston at its stroke-end in the flow path-opening position and to cause piston rebound to an extent to position the O-ring against the lateral groove wall that is downstream to the prevailing pressure differential, thereby to ensure effective sealing at the switching point. The buffer also suppresses noise of operation of the oscillator. The oscillator is particularly useful for generating breathable gas pulses for resuscitation and/or lung ventilation purposes.
