  • a granular molding material 24, fluidizable by means of a moving fluid is placed in the tank 2 around the external pocket 3.
  • This material can advantageously be constituted for example by sand, a granular plastic material of controlled particle size, a ion exchange resin, or any other suitable material, the level of which, in the non-fluidized state, is located below the orifices 9 and 10.
  • the apparatus finally comprises a flexible pipe 25 extending down the length of the wall of the internal pocket 21 and opening to the outside, for example through the thickness of the shutter 17.
  • the pipe 25 is connected by a conduit 26 to a two-way valve 27 connected on the one hand to the nozzle 7 of the chamber 4 and on the other hand, by a pipe 28, to a source of pressurized gas supply (not shown).
  • the operation of the device is as follows.
  • Air under pressure is sent to the chamber 4, for example, which, escaping through the perforations in the wall 5, fluidizes the granular material 24 surrounding the external pocket 3.
  • the granular material thus fluidized behaves like a liquid, allowing the introduction of the member to be treated into the assembly constituted by the two internal pockets 21 and external 3 and as and when the introduction of the member the granular material in excess escapes through the orifice 10 to partially fill the container 15, the register 12 being open while the fluidizing air escapes through the orifice 8, the filter 9 of which retains the material.
  • the register 12 When the member is completely inserted into the pocket 21, the register 12 is closed in order to prevent any further transfer of the granular material into the container 15 and the injection of the fluid in the chamber 4 is stopped, the material granular 24 then settling around the pocket 3, thereby achieving a solid molding of the member to be treated.
  • Mercury is then injected into the interval 22 between the pockets 3 and 21, up to the desired level.
  • annular reinforcement 30 is preferably provided, for example in inextensible fabric on the part of the external pocket 3 extending between the level of the mercury and the level of the solid molding produced in order to prevent deformation of the external pocket 3 and to maintain the pressure of the mercury at this level.
  • the register 12 When the treatment is finished, the register 12 is open, the treated member being removed from the bag 21, possibly with a new injection of fluidizing air into the chamber 4 in order to facilitate the removal of the member and after the removal of the member. ci the register 12 is again open and the container 15 rotated in the high vertical position so that the excess of molding material collected flows again inside the tank 2.
  • the volume of mercury necessary for the treatment is thanks to the invention reduced to the strict minimum necessary.
  • the volume of mercury used results from the compressibility of the molding product and from the dead space resulting from the difference in the volumes occupied by the molding material in the fluidized state and in the packed state.
  • the device according to the invention makes it possible to treat under the best economic conditions both the arms and the legs of the patients.
  • the mode of transfer of the molding material from the treatment tank to the container 15, and vice versa could also be either a new fluidization, or a transfer by flotation of the granular or pulverulent molding material, the latter means making it possible to remove the rotary joint 14.
  • the closing device for isolating the container 15 from the tank 2 can be an inflatable capacity with water, or other fluid, and contained in the container 15.

  • the space between the external pocket 3 and the wall of the tank 31 is therefore empty as well as the space 22 between the flexible pockets 3 and 21 and the tank can be retracted telescopically, thereby reducing its height, which facilitates the introduction of the member into the internal pocket 21 which can be pulled on the member like a stocking.
  • the tank When the member is in place, the tank is extended upwards in its fully extended position shown in the drawing.
  • the telescopic pipe 37 accompanies the movement of the tank.
  • the pump 40 is then actuated, after having adjusted the position of the valve 39 to inject the water from the reservoir 36 into the reservoir 33.
  • the water entering the bottom thereof floats the granular material and makes it rise in the tank 31 in which it accumulates from the top, the water escaping through the filter and returning to the tank 36 until the tank 31 is completely filled to the bottom.
  • the actuator 35 is then actuated to raise the plate 34 and close the opening 32.
  • the molding is then carried out, the reservoir 33, full of water, is then emptied by means of the pump and the hose 38.
  • the mercury is allowed to rise in the tube 44 before stopping the pump in order to ensure a pressure around the part of the member at the level of the upper end of the tank by the weight of the column of mercury in tube 44 forming a vent.
