  • Patent number: 7861642
    Abstract: A valve block disposed adjacent a tool attachment of a working machine, where the tool attachment is adapted for connection to different types of hydraulically maneuvered tools or implements with the aid of a hydraulically actuated locking device. The valve block includes first port means, second port means, and third port means for connecting hydraulic lines of the working machine to hydraulic coupling elements and to the locking device respectively. The valve block includes a line system and valve means which communicate with the port means so as to fulfill at least three of the following five functions: ensuring the presence of pressure in the locking device in the event of a fracture in the hydraulic lines of the working machine; ensuring connection of the first port means with either the second port means or the third port means to obtain post-tensioning of the locking device to relieve the pressure load; and to provide pressure limitation.

  • Publication number: 20090058075
    Abstract: A hydraulic coupling device, comprising a coupling unit, a holder block, and a lock nut. The coupling unit is mounted to the holder block by means of the lock nut, which is tightened in a thread at the nose end of the coupling unit. The lock nut has a rotationally symmetrical outer contour. A plurality of grooves distributed around the circumference are recessed in the outer contour. The grooves extend axially inward from the end of the lock nut facing away from the holder block. The invention also relates to a lock nut for a hydraulic coupling device, a mounting tool for the lock nut as well as a method for mounting a hydraulic coupling device.

  • Publication number: 20060101953
    Abstract: The invention relates to a tool holder for cranes. The tool holder comprises hydraulic cylinder means arranged to detachably be able to lock a tool to the tool holder. Furthermore, hydraulic coupling means is comprised and arranged to be connected with hydraulic coupling means on the tool and hydraulic line means. The object of the invention is, among other things, to reduce the number of requisite lines in the hydraulic line means. According to the invention, the tool holder comprises furthermore valve means provided with switching means arranged to connect the hydraulic line means either to the hydraulic cylinder means or to the hydraulic coupling means of the tool holder. Thereby, the same hydraulic line means may be used for the locking i 5 function and the tool. The invention also relates to a crane provided with such a tool holder as well as use of the tool holder.
