MUMBAI, India, Sept. 12 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202517080767 A) filed by Bae Systems Plc, London, on Aug. 26, for 'double acting cylinder assembly.'

Inventor(s) include Lewin, Richard.

The application for the patent was published on Sept. 12, under issue no. 37/2025.

According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "A double acting cylinder assembly (10) comprises a rod cylinder (100) which extends from a first end (12) to a second end (14) along a longitudinal axis (16). The rod cylinder (100) is hollow and defines a chamber (110). A rod cylinder piston (200) is located in, and operable to move along, the rod cylinder chamber (110). A first rod cylinder sub-chamber region (112) is defined on one side of the rod cylinder piston (200) and a second rod cylinder sub-chamber region (114) is defined on the other side of the rod cylinder piston (200). A floating piston (700) is also located in, and operable to slide along, the rod cylinder chamber (110). The rod cylinder piston (200) and floating piston (700) are configured to have a coupled state in which the rod cylinder piston (200) and floating piston (700) are coupled to one another such that the floating piston (700) is moveable with the rod cylinder piston (200) along the rod cylinder chamber (110). The rod cylinder piston (200) and floating piston (700) are also configured to have a de-coupled state in which the rod cylinder piston (200) and floating piston (700) are spaced apart from one another to define a first floating piston sub-volume (118) of the rod cylinder chamber (110) between the rod cylinder piston (200) and floating piston (700)."

The patent application was internationally filed on Jan. 12, 2024, under International application No.PCT/GB2024/050079.
