- the transmission mechanism 4a, 4b comprises a carrier pinion 4b rotatable about an axis of rotation located in the center of said carrier pinion 4b, and the delivery pipe 7 cryogenic fluid being arranged ex-centrally through said pinion-carrier 4b.
- the axis of the pipe 7 is the axis of the carrier pinion 4b are not confused.
- the pipe 7 is thus arranged in a passage or orifice 10 formed through the body of the pinion-carrier 4b, which passage is located within the disk that forms the pinion-carrier 4b, excluding the center of said disk.
- the passage for the pipe 7 is located at least 1 mm from the center of the pinion, that is to say the axis of said pinion-carrier 4b.

- modifying the length Lo is particularly advantageous for varying the radius of the circular path Ro described by the one or more nozzles for delivering high pressure fluid jets as illustrated in FIG. 3.
- the mechanical element of the anchor point can be loosened easily by the user, for example by using a suitable tool, if he wants to adjust or adjust the length Lo.
- the pipe 7 In the case where the pipe 7 is positioned on a displacement machine or on a robot, it may be difficult or impractical to slide the tube 7 inside the device. It is therefore useful for the pipe 7 to be divided into two parts connected by a very high pressure static coupling 7c positioned upstream of the anchoring point 8. This makes it easy to change this part of the tube between 7c and the nozzle holder tool 5, by a tube of suitable length to adjust Lo to the desired length, without having to move or modify the entire tube 7.
- a stainless steel tube is preferably used as pipe 7, and of internal and external diameters as given in Table II below. -Dessous.
- the 14.8 mm diameter tube is too rigid to be effectively used. From there, typically, a high pressure stainless steel tube 316 (up to about 4000 bar) with an outside diameter of about 6.4 mm is used.
- this tube In order to further flexibilise the tube, it is possible to give this tube a form of lyre or pigtail, as shown in Figure 5, or use a bellows system.

- the tube will not be able to break by fatigue, whatever the number of cycles performed, and particularly greater than 2,000,000. The results obtained are therefore quite satisfactory. and the device works perfectly.
- a bushel equipped with two nozzles used with the system described in US-A-7,316,363 gives the two nozzles concentric circular paths of different radii, as shown in Figure 6, while the same nozzle holder equipped with the same two nozzles gives the nozzles circular paths of identical rays Ro but shifted, as shown schematically in Figure 7.
- the circles (FIG. 7) described by the liquid nitrogen jets will have a larger diameter since the parameters Lo and ⁇ will have high values. Thus, for a surface treatment or a concrete peel, for example, the yield will also be more important because the surface described will be larger.
- the device of the invention can be used for a manual application, as shown in FIG. 8, or automatic or robotic as shown in FIG. 9.
- FIG. 8 shows an example of a manual tool comprising a pneumatic motor 1 equipped with a handle 11 of a trigger 12 and a compressed air inlet pipe 13, whereas FIG. example of an automatic tool, with an electric motor 1, mounted on a robot 14.
