- the clamping cavity 52 has a frustoconical or partially spherical shape and it rests on a frustoconical periphery 54 formed externally on the seat 46 of the nozzle 42.
- the nozzle nozzle 42 which has been previously put in position freely ' in the collar 40 of the nut 6, is located self-centered by the clamping cavity 52 and by its frustoconical outer periphery 54.
- the acceleration nozzle 22, ' which comprises the sleeve 26, the nozzle 28 and the nozzle 42, is positioned ' precisely and fixedly relative to the housing 2. Being thus rigidly secured to the casing 2, the nozzle acceleration 22 can provide a water jet J having a perfectly stable position relative to the support S, whatever the movements of the machine D.
- the head 1 further comprises, in its front part AV, a cutting barrel 60 which is supported and maintained by a barrel holder 62, inside the latter, this barrel holder 62 being itself - even housed inside the casing 2.
- the cutting barrel 60 is disposed in the head 1 in coincidence with the outlet of the acceleration nozzle 22 to receive, downstream, the jet of water emitted by this nozzle.
- the barrel 60 is positioned precisely with respect to the barrel holder 62, thanks to its engagement in a positioning bore 64 formed in the front part, not referenced, of the barrel holder 62.

- This deflector 88 has a central bore 89.
- tests which have been carried out on the deflector 88 have shown that a dimensioning of its bore 89 to a diameter of 0.8 mm (0.8.10 ⁇ 3 meters) could prevent, during the operation of the machining head 1, any return of the abrasive (brought by the tube 80) upstream, and in particular towards the nozzle 46.
- This anti-reflux protection function provided by the deflector 88 prevents the destruction of the hard material pellet 44 which, in conventional devices, is subject to rapid wear.

- the collar 104a, 104b is biased axially on the ring 96a, 96b forming a seat, by means of elastic means 106.
- the elastic means 106 are formed by compression springs (same reference) housed in an annular ring 108 (see FIG. 2), called the thrust ring, attached to the inside of the casing 2.
- the ring 108 which is externally threaded, is screwed into the casing 2 while being engaged in its internal thread 18.
- the thrust ring 108 is mounted in the casing 2 around the connection nut 6, but with a radial clearance and with an axial clearance relative to the latter.
- the axial position of the ring 108 in the casing 2 can be adjusted independently of the position of the nut 6, to adjust the elastic pressure of the compression springs 106 on the rear of the flange 104a, 104b.
- the ring 108 has tap holes, not shown, shaped to receive an adjustment tool, also not shown.

- the nut 6 also comprises at its front end a seal 110 (see FIG. 2), of the O-ring type, bearing radially on the barrel holder 62.
- the adjustment means according to the invention also include screws 112 (in particular four in number, offset by 90 °,. two of them being here only shown) which allow the locking of the barrel holder 62 in a fixed position relative to the casing 2.
- the screws 112 are mounted in the casing 2, at the front thereof and they act radially on the outer periphery of the barrel holder 62.
- the adjustment means according to the invention further comprise an aiming device according to two embodiments (FIGS. 2, 4 and 5) which comprises a support 122 arranged to be able to be attached to the barrel holder 62.

- this adjustment barrel 124 has an internal diameter DR greater than the internal diameter DD (FIG. 1) of the cutting barrel 60.
- the water jet J can therefore pass through the barrel ⁇ adjustment 124 without touching the internal wall of that and without being disturbed, during the adjustment operation.
- the support 122 is formed by a "C" shaped part, one branch 126 of which forms a base in which is housed a target 128a, 128b, while another branch 130 carries the adjustment barrel 124 which is oriented in a normal manner. to target 128a, 128b.
- the two branches 126 and 130 are connected by a third, 127, called the connecting branch.
- the target 128a essentially consists of an interchangeable pellet of planar shape removably mounted in the support 122, and more particularly in the branch 126.
- the branch 126 which is essentially circular comprises a nut 132 which blocks the target 128a.
- the tablet forming the target 128a has a central orifice 134 in the direction of which the water jet J is pointed during the adjustment. Thanks to the perforated structure of the support 122, an operator can, during the adjustment, observe on practically all sides (over approximately 300 °) the impact of the water jet J supplied at low pressure, but in a consistent manner thanks to the socket 26, on target 128a.
- a sighting device 120b differs from the device 120a by its target 128b which, although mounted identically in the support 122, presents with respect to the target 128a a structure allowing an even easier and finer adjustment.
- the target 128b comprises a base 140 likewise held in the branch 126 by the nut 132, but from which rises in its center a pointer 142 of pyramidal shape, oriented towards the rear of the head 1, c 'that is to say towards the exit of the adjustment barrel 124.
- the pointer 142 is forcibly engaged in the base 140.
- It comprises four converging planar faces 142a to 142d (FIG. 5) inclined at an angle (X d' about 10 ° relative to the direction of exit of the water jet J, and therefore relative to the longitudinal geometric axis of the sighting device 120b.
- the pyramidal pointer 142 On either side of the pyramidal pointer 142 are formed in the base 140 four oblong recesses 144a to 144d oriented parallel to the bases of the pointer 142, as well as in the extension of its four faces 142a to
- These four hollows 144a to 144d respectively have the shape of a flared bowl at the entrance, and they are open towards the water jet J. It will be specified here that the four hollows 144a to 144d are all calibrated to the same dimension.
- the base 140 is for example made of aluminum while the pointer 142 is made of a hard material, such as tungsten carbide.
- the head adjustment method according to the invention is as follows.
- the clamp 66 is released to release the cutting barrel 60 which comes out of the barrel holder 62.
- the support 122 is inserted into the barrel holder 62 by inserting the adjusting barrel 124 into the bore 64.
- the screws 112 are loosened to allow the barrel holder 62 and the aiming device 120a, 120b to pivot relative to the casing 2, by means of the ball joint 94a, 94b.
- a coherent water jet J thanks to the shape of the conduit 27 of the sleeve 26, forms at the outlet of the adjustment barrel and strikes the target 128a, 128b.
- the sighting device 120a, 120b is then moved manually, by the operator not shown, by rotating the barrel holder 62 relative to the casing 2.
- the gun holder 62 is blocked by means of the screws 112 when the water jet J is placed in coincidence with the orifice 134.
- the operator After having opened the low pressure water supply, moves the pyramidal pointer 142 until its point is perfectly under the water jet J and that four identical water bundles (not shown) form at the outlet of the four calibrated recesses of the base 140, under the aiming device 120b. Any difference in shape in one of the beams at the output of the device indicates to the operator an adjustment error and the direction in which he must move the gun holder 62.
- the adjustment operation completed, the aiming device is released by loosening the clamp 66, then taken out. Then, in the barrel holder 62, the cutting barrel 60 is repositioned, which is now arranged perfectly coaxial with the working jet J.
