A piston-cylinder unit includes a cylinder having an inner cylindrical wall face; a pressure piston slidably accommodated in the cylinder and arranged for being driven into the cylinder by an external force. The cylinder defines a cylinder chamber in which pressure is generated by the pressure piston forced into the cylinder. The pressure piston has a radial bottom and a generally cylindrical outer face extending axially away from the piston bottom. In the outer face of the pressure piston, adjacent the bottom, there is provided a circumferential recess which, together with an overlying circumferential portion of the inner cylindrical wall face of the cylinder defines an annular chamber surrounding the pressure piston. The radially measured width of the annular chamber gradually decreases in a direction axially away from the piston bottom. A sealing ring is disposed in the annular chamber and sealingly engages the inner face of the cylinder even when situated in the widest zone of the annular chamber. The sealing ring can be shifted and compressed into zones of lesser width of the annular chamber upon displacement of the pressure piston into the cylinder.

In a piston-cylinder unit including a cylinder having an inner wall face; a pressure piston slidably accommodated in the cylinder and arranged for being driven into the cylinder by an external force; the cylinder defining a cylinder chamber in which pressure is generated by the pressure piston forced into the cylinder; the pressure piston having a radial bottom and a generally cylindrical outer face extending axially away from the piston bottom; sealing means carried by the pressure piston for sealingly engaging said inner wall face; the improvement comprising a dividing means arranged in said cylinder chamber for dividing said cylinder chamber into axially adjacent part chambers; said dividing means comprising (a) a mixing piston slidably arranged in said cylinder and including (1) an outer face for engaging the inner face of said cylinder; (2) means defining a throughgoing threaded central opening; (3) means defining at least one throughgoing aperture adjacent said central opening; (4) retaining means; (b) a washer disc normally firmly held on said mixing piston by said retaining means for sealing off said central opening; and (c) a mixing rod axially introduceable into said cylinder through a cylinder end remote from said pressure piston and threadedly receiveable by said central threaded opening; said washer disc being axially disengageable from said retaining means by said mixing rod for establishing communication between said part chambers through said aperture.
