| 7258242 | Mobile crane boom having an autarchic hydraulic power unit mounted thereon The present invention relates to a mobile crane boom having a self-sufficient energy supply arranged on it for supplying hydraulic energy to at least one hydraulic load arranged on the mobile crane boom. The supply of the hydraulic load arranged on the mobile crane ... | 08/21/2007 |
| 7140631 | Automatic kick stand for two-wheeled vehicle An automated side stand for a two wheeled vehicle. A side stand assembly comprises a rotatable strut and an actuator attachable to the frame of a vehicle having two wheels. The actuator operates to rotate the strut between an up position and a down position. In the ... | 11/28/2006 |
| 6993905 | Oil hydraulic cylinder An oil hydraulic cylinder configured to allow an object to be smoothly and continuously lifted without being clatteringly swayed and unnecessarily rotated by the oil hydraulic while supply of the oil hydraulic remains uninterrupted when an adjusting lever is manipul... | 02/07/2006 |
| 6715282 | Actuator device, in particular for operating the stand of motorcycles, and automatically releasable hydraulic valve A valve and a device for actuating the rotation of a stand (4) of a motorcycle (2) comprising an hydraulic actuator (1) operating an actuating member (7) between a first and a second position bringing the stand (4) from a rest posi... | 04/06/2004 |
| 6679054 | Electro-hydraulic actuator of a motorcycle stand An actuating device (1) for the rotation of a stand (4) of a vehicle, such as a motorcycle or scooter, between a standing position and a rest position, and allowing also the reverse maneuver in order to rotate the stand from the position of vehicle on the... | 01/20/2004 |
| 6454033 | Electro-hydraulic vehicle with energy regeneration A vehicle including a battery (61) powering an electrical motor (60), the electric motor (60) operating when the vehicle is driving at a nominal speed in order to drive, at a constant speed, a variable displacement hydraulic pump (4) which is connected to... | 09/24/2002 |
| 5749224 | Extended range thruster system and method of determining thrust An electrohydraulic actuator has a housing divided into pump and cylinder portions respectively containing a centrifugal impeller driven through a hub by an externally mounted motor, and a pushrod actuated by a piston and arranged to advance the piston an... | 05/12/1998 |
| 5375418 | Controlled convertible top hydraulic lock A vehicle convertible top is moved by hydraulic cylinders between extreme raised and lowered positions. The cylinder ends are connected to ports in a reversible hydraulic pump in one end of an elongated housing, which has a reservoir in the other end, sep... | 12/27/1994 |
| 5291918 | Safety valve actuator assembly An emergency shut-down system to close a gate valve in a pipeline and therefore terminate flow. The closing action is initiated when a pilot valve senses pressure in the pipeline outside predetermined limits. This reduces the signal pressure in the system... | 03/08/1994 |
| 5251445 | Hand operated hydraulic pump having pressurized reservoir within piston An airless hand held hydraulic pump unaffected by gravity continuously maintains pressure on the fluid in a dynamic reservoir chamber to enable pumping into a dynamic pressure chamber for actuating a forcing rod irrespective of the orientation of the pump... | 10/12/1993 |
| 5107678 | Floating fluid-operated actuator The piston of a reciprocating hydraulic actuator carries a pump which is driven by an electric motor and which supplies oil from the low pressure chamber of a cylinder to the high pressure chamber thereof in order to advance the piston. An exhaust valve i... | 04/28/1992 |
| 5070900 | Safety valve actuator assembly An emergency shut-down system to close a gate valve in a pipeline and therefore terminate flow. The closing action is initiated when a pilot valve senses pressure in the pipeline outside predetermined limits. This reduces the signal pressure in the system... | 12/10/1991 |
| 5065664 | Control circuit for a cylinder allowing flow between an upper and a lower chamber A hydraulic control circuit arrangement for a single-acting cylinder provided with bottom and rod chambers separated by a piston having a piston rod extending the rod chamber, the arrangement including a directional control valve for controlling a supply ... | 11/19/1991 |
| 4642986 | Hydraulic servo motor (a) Hydraulic servo motor comprising a jack (1, 14) intended to be connected by its rod (31, 32, 151) to a moving member to be displaced and accurately positioned, said jack being completely filled with liquid; (b) Servo m... | 02/17/1987 |
