chambres toriques

French to English Tech/Engineering Military / Defense weapons
Context:
Le fonctionnement de ce mode de réalisation est analogue à celui décrit précédemment en référence aux figures 1 à 6. Les paires de mâchoires 4b et 5b remplacent les chambres toriques 4a et 5a pour former les moyens de blocage 4 et 5 expansibles radialement.ext:

Am I correct with toroidal chambers for this gun? Not found any references other than combustion engines.
TIA Chris.

Thank you Liz for giving us something to laugh about.

@Liz As bearing all, as he was, the lividity was plain for all to see!
Nikki Scott-Despaigne Apr 28, 2021:
cf. joint torique Made me thinkof "joint torique", the common or garden "O-ring". 8-) Thereafter, see this FR Wikipédia entry for "tore", (doughnut/donut) and now thinking about "toreodor"! On a more relevant note, parts of a gun are sealed when fired: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obturation

Ha ha! I remember working for an irritable Frenchman in Petersfield (many years ago) and typed "bare" instead of "bear" and of course he was livid!! ;)

I`ve now found drawings for this "objet d`art" and it looks like an inflatable "O" ring, mus say never come across this before other than tyre inner tube. Not certain that toroidal chamber really indicates what it is.
Think I`ll ask client for advice.

@ Liz You should apply for a job with local council, Cantal department, France. Steep hill near us has sign saying "use your engine breaking".

I have found one reference where 'toroidal' was being used to describe a gun chamber here
https://americansocietyofarmscollectors.org/wp-content/uploa...

Other than that, the nearest thing I could find was references to annular chambers and annular, grooved chambers (but annular isn't quite the same as toroidal).
