Abstract:
The invention relates to a piston pump with a piston (10) that is guided so that it can move axially in a pump bore (12) of a pump housing (14). In order to simplify the manufacture of the piston (10), the invention proposes providing the piston (10) with a support ring (64), which is connected to a guide ring (66). By connecting the support ring (64) and guide ring (66), the structural length of the piston pump (10) can be shortened.
Abstract:
The master cylinder of the present invention is provided with the bearing in which a bearing body includes the inner circumferencial seal groove which is formed with a L-shape in longitudinal section with one side surface thereof opened, and a set plate is secured to an end surface of the bearing body so as to close the opened side surface of the inner circumferencial seal groove, wherein the set plate has a plurality of engaging pawls formed thereon for resiliently to pressing the bearing body onto a stopper ring or pressing the bearing body onto a step portion between a cylinder hole and the bearing housing while elastically holding the bearing body, whereby the seal member can easily be fitted into an inner circumferencial seal groove, of a bearing while preventing the bearing from chattering and preventing the seal member from being deformed seriously.
Abstract:
An anvil for our ultrasonic textile slitting apparatus comprises an elongated, flat, substantially rectangular, housing in which two pistons are disposed for motion relative to one another along the longitudinal axis of the housing. A first piston, responsive to fluid pressure, is urged against the force exerted by springs into motion toward the second piston for causing the second piston, which is provided with a slitting implement, to be urged toward contact with the output surface of an ultrasonic horn. Further, springs are interposed between the first and the second piston for urging the pistons apart, but becoming compressed responsive to such fluid pressure. The combination of fluid pressure and springs causes the slitting implement to be kept in continuous contact with the horn despite the very high acceleration forces manifest at the horn output surface. In addition, the springs provide vibratory isolation from the vibratory energy of the horn. The flat anvil construction permits a plurality of anvils to be disposed in close proximity to one another for slitting textile material into narrow strips.
Abstract:
A hydraulic actuator for an isolator such as a diverter valve, the actuator comprising a hydraulic ram (1) one end of which is connected to a lever (2) which is in turn connected to a shaft (3) for a valve plate or other closure. The basic novel characteristic of the actuator is that the end of the actuator frame remote from the shaft is connected to the isolator frame by means of a torque arm reaction anchor (4) so as to prevent the actuator from rotating with the shaft.
Abstract:
An improved linear guiding mechanism with a standing part and a moving part which have respective uniform cross sections. A pair of spaced guiding channels is formed between these parts and respective linear ball bearings are arranged in both channels that interconnect the two parts. The channel walls are abutting the balls via steel bars extending along the channels. Preferably the standing part defines a cylinder in which a piston is moved and its shaft is connected to the moving part. The parts are made of light and soft material such as aluminum or plastic and manufactured by extrusion technique. The rather high variation of dimensions of such parts are compensated by means of biasing forces that press the channels together, and the biasing forces are sufficiently high to resist operational load. The length of the ball bearings is at least the half of the maximum stroke.
Abstract:
A power steering mechanism for a vehicle which comprises a rotary steering control member and a driving piston connected to a member in the steering gear of the vehicle. The piston separates two pressure chambers in the housing. The mechanism also comprises a shaft of which the first end defines a screw cooperating with a nut attached to the piston. A pressure fluid distribution valve is adapted to control fluid communication between the pressure source formed by a pump, and the two pressure chambers. The distribution valve is of the rotary type and comprises a sleeve moving as a whole with the rotary control member and a rotor moving in unison with the shaft. The shaft and the rotor are connected to opposite ends of a torsion bar. The second end of the shaft is broadened and contains a bore. This other end is provided with orifices and defines the sleeve of the rotary valve, in which the rotor is mounted for rotation. The second end of the shaft is rotatably mounted in the housing by means of a single ball thrust bearing which is constructed as follows: the inner ball race is a groove in the outer periphery of said second end. The outer ball race is formed on two complementary rings held axially and radially in the valve cover of the housing.
Abstract:
A hydraulic release mechanism for automobile clutches comprising a housing open at one end and a bearing. The bearing comprises a rotating race ring adapted to be connected to the operating member of the clutch, a non-rotating race ring and a plurality of roller elements located therebetween. The non-rotating race ring is slidably arranged with respect to the housing, and seal means is arranged on the non-rotating race ring between it and the surface of the housing to enclose the housing to form a pressure chamber while permitting the race ring to move on introduction of pressurized fluid into the housing.
