An offer of a double-acting pressure intensifying cylinder and method for intensifying pressure in the cylinder that the adjustable pressure-intensified stroke can be obtained, larger driving force can be obtained, downsizing of cylinders is attained, simple structure makes it possible to be inexpensive and to reduce the rate of the occurrence of trouble such as breakdown. In a double-acting pressure intensifying cylinder 30, a first cylinder 10 and a second cylinder 20 are connected via an operation chamber 14 in series. The first fluid chamber 11 is provided with a first piston 12 and the second fluid chamber 21 is provided with a second piston 22. In an operation chamber 14, a rod 13 is slidably inserted. The first fluid chamber 11 has a first fluid supply port 1 and an air port 5, the second fluid chamber 21 has a third fluid supply port 3 and a fourth fluid supply port 4, the operation chamber 14 has a second fluid supply port 2. A check valve 6 is provided at the position closer to the second cylinder 20 than to the second fluid supply port 2 in the operation chamber 14. The check valve 6 makes it possible for a fluid such as a hydraulic fluid to flow only in one direction from the first cylinder 10 to the second cylinder 20.
Abstract:
Hydraulic master cylinder for a motor vehicle braking circuit, comprising means for concealing the dead travel of the primary (16) and secondary (44) pistons, these concealing means consisting of additional valve shutters (80) borne by the valve shutters (26, 56) that shut off the axial passages (22, 58) formed in the primary (16) and secondary (44) pistons, these additional valve shutters allowing the pressure in the primary (18) and secondary (52) chambers to increase right from the start of movement of said pistons over their dead travels.
Abstract:
A master cylinder assembly in which the casing defines an annular seal groove defining a forward bore portion forwardly of the annular groove and a rearward bore portion rearwardly of the annular groove. The front end of the piston in the retracted position of the piston is received in the forward bore portion to provide total bearing support for the piston and axial grooves are provided in the forward bore portion to allow recuperative fluid to flow from the associated reservoir and through the axial grooves to the forward bore portion forwardly of the retreating piston.
Abstract:
A master cylinder of the present invention comprises a cylinder having one end open to the outside. A secondary piston guide ring, a sleeve and a primary piston guide ring are adapted to be fitted in this order into the cylinder from the one open end. A piston is slidable fitted in an axial direction of the cylinder, into each of the secondary piston guide ring, the sleeve and the primary piston guide ring. A retaining means is provided at the open end of the cylinder, and adapted to abut against the primary piston guide ring and prevent escape of the primary piston guide ring from the cylinder. An elastic member is provided between a rearward end portion of the sleeve and a forward end portion of the primary piston guide ring.
Abstract:
This invention aims to prevent a core from being pushed back when a hydraulic fluid is compressed by a high load occurring with a molding pressure of molten melt at a casting and pressing time in a core driving cylinder in a die cast machine. There are provided a pressure intensifying cylinder 2a for allowing a pressure intensifying chamber 31 to communicate with a head-side cylinder chamber 22 of a working cylinder 1 and its control hydraulic circuit. When a load and a rated pressure Pp of a hydraulic pump 25 are balanced with each other at the time of inserting and setting a core 41, a check valve 21 is closed and a sequence valve 34 is opened to move the pressure intensifying cylinder 2a forward, so that the pressure of the head-side cylinder chamber 22 is increased. A pressure intensifying ratio of the pressure intensifying cylinder 2a is set such that the pressure of the head-side cylinder chamber 22 is higher than pressure occurring with molding pressure. A maximum discharge volume is set to a value being equivalent to a compression quantity of the hydraulic fluid of the chamber 22, and advancement of the pressure intensifying cylinder 2a automatically compensates for the above compression quantity.

Abstract:
This specification disclosed a partially closed microfluidic system and a fluid driving method. The microfluidic system is comprised of a substrate with microfluidic elements and a thin film. A feature of this structure is that the thin film is elastic and deformable. It has a single opening corresponding to a vent hole on the substrate, thus forming a partially closed microfluidic system. The substrate is designed to have several positions for micro fluid elements and deformable chambers and uses micro channels to form a complete network. Since the thin film is elastic and deformable, one is able to impose a pressure on the thin film above the deformable chambers in this partially closed microfluidic system to drive the fluid into motion. Once the pressure is released, the fluid flows back to its original configuration.
Abstract:
A control lever for operating a control system of a vehicle, such as a brake or clutch of a motorcycle, for example. The lever is especially useful with hydraulic control systems, for applying a force to a hydraulic piston of the control system. Preferably, the lever includes an engagement portion that contacts an end surface of the piston. The engagement portion may be free to rotate with respect to a body portion of the lever such that the engagement portion rolls across the end surface of the piston. Such an arrangement provides improved lever nullfeelnull and substantially prevents transverse loading of the piston. The engagement portion may also include a protruding arm that engages the end surface of the piston, for use with hydraulic control systems where the piston is recessed within a housing.
Abstract:
A pressure booster comprising a housing (11) with a low-pressure fluid inlet (14), a high-pressure fluid outlet (15), and an inlet (16) and an outlet (17) for compressed air. In the housing (11) there is provided a main piston (22) with an enlarged portion (23), which together with the housing (11) define a third cylinder space (26), which can be connected to the compressed air inlet (16). Furthermore, the main piston (22) has a small end portion (22b) which together with the housing define a second cylinder space (27) and whereby fluid at increased pressure can be moved out of the housing (11) via a high-pressure fluid outlet (15) when the third cylinder space (26) is supplied with compressed air. In an axial passage (29) there is mounted a check valve (30), which can be influenced by a body.
Abstract:
A master cylinder for the clutch or brake of a motor vehicle has a housing for a reciprocable piston one end of which receives the spherical head of a reciprocable piston rod. The head is held in a desired position relative to the piston by a one-piece or composite coupling device having a first section exerting a pull or bearing upon the head of the piston rod and a second section which is confined in or surrounds the end of the piston and urges the first section in a direction to hold the piston rod against axial movements relative to the piston. The coupling device and/or the piston are or can be made of a plastic material, and the connection between such parts is or can be established by snap action.
