Abstract: The herein described apparatus is a novel expansion tank and method for use with a water system. The housing of the expansion tank contains a spring biased piston. When the water pressure of the system is sufficient to overcome the spring's resistance, the piston will be compressed against the spring allowing water to flow into the expansion chamber. As the water pressure of the system decreases, the spring will bias the piston towards its rest position and force water from the expansion tank. By using a piston in place of the prior art rubber diaphragm a more robust mechanism to contain water resulting from thermal expansion is provided.

Abstract: A compact fluid accumulator both stores a relatively large amount of fluid and provides good fluid pressure stability. The accumulator includes a piston slidably disposed in a cylinder having a fluid inlet/outlet at one end which communicates with a first chamber and one face of the piston. Engaging the opposite face of the piston, and disposed in a second chamber, is a compression spring. The second chamber is filled with a gas which is at atmospheric pressure when the accumulator is relaxed. When pressurized hydraulic fluid fills the first chamber, the piston moves against the pressure of the spring and gas in the second chamber. The present invention thus provides an accumulator having the relatively small size of a gas filled accumulator without the leakage problem of a super-atmospheric gas charge—the extra force being provided by the compression spring.

Abstract: An open port is provided on an inner peripheral surface of the cylinder bore of the reservoir apparatus and the port is exposed to the exterior of the reservoir apparatus. A hollow portion is formed concentrically with the port on a reservoir body. An annular thin portion is formed between the inner peripheral surface of the cylinder bore and the hollow portion surrounding the port in a radial direction. The thin portion is outwardly deflected and deformed by being pushed outwardly in a radial direction centering on the port in a range narrower than the inner diameter of the hollow portion. Thus, the opening of the port is outwardly sunk from the inner peripheral surface of the cylinder bore thereby to form a curved surface at a root portion of the thin portion on the inner peripheral surface of the cylinder bore.

Abstract: An adjustable length cylinder assembly includes a housing and a piston reciprocably mounted within the housing for movement between an extended position and a retracted position. The piston defines first and second hydraulic fluid chambers of differing cross-sectional area on opposite sides of the piston. An accumulator is housed within one of the housing and the piston. Channels communicate hydraulic fluid the first and second chambers and the accumulator during the movement of the piston. A valve member is concentric with the piston and accumulator and rotatable between a first rotary position in which the channels are open so that fluid can be transferred between the chambers to allow retracting and extending movement of the piston and a second rotary position in which the channels are closed so that fluid cannot be transferred and the piston is locked against retracting and extending movement.

Abstract: A piston accumulator (10) comprises a pressure chamber (40) which is closed on one side by an axially shiftable piston (50) in order to change its volume depending on the axial position of the piston (50). A locking mechanism is provided for retaining the piston (50) in a second position different from a first position against a spring preload (190). The piston accumulator (10) further comprises an electromagnetic apparatus (80) having an armature (150) which is shifted upon axial shifting of the piston (50) from the first into the second position in its turn into an axial position in which a blocking element (175) of the locking mechanism is held by the armature (150) in a radial position so as to block a shift of the piston (50) back in the direction of its first position. For holding the blocking element (175) there is provided a separate interlocking member (170) which is fastened to the armature (150) and is made of a harder material than the armature (150).
