Publication number: 20230184268Abstract: A pressure medium cylinder (1) for moving a toothed bar (3), comprising a toothed bar (3) on at least one side of which is formed a toothing (4). Inside the toothed bar (3), a cavity (6, 6a, 6b) is formed, extending to at least one end (7a, 7b) of the toothed bar. The pressure medium cylinder (1) further comprises a longitudinal structure (8, 8a, 8b), the longitudinal structure (8, 8a, 8b) and the toothed bar (3) being adapted movably in relation to each other, and the longitudinal structure (8, 8a, 8b) is adapted at least partly inside said cavity (6, 6a, 6b). The toothed bar (3) and longitudinal structure (8, 8a, 8b) are adapted in a sealed manner in relation to each other so that the toothed bar and the longitudinal structure are movable in relation to each other by the effect of a pressure medium.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 11, 2021Publication date: June 15, 2023Inventors: Toni AUVINEN, Marko HALONEN, Tommi LIUKKUNEN

Patent number: 11028552Abstract: A hoisting apparatus includes a rotation device with connectors for connecting pressure-medium lines to a rotation device, a boom, from which the pressure-medium lines are arranged to lead to the rotation device, and a pivoted joint for suspending the rotation device on the boom. The pivoted joint includes two consecutive pivots in a longitudinal direction of the rotation device. The rotational axes of the pivots are at right-angles to each other. The pressure-medium lines are routed between lugs of the pivot on a boom side of the pivoted joint, past the connectors of the rotation device in the longitudinal direction of the rotation device, to turn towards the connectors to form a hose loop and then routed to the connectors of the rotation device. The pressure-medium lines are arranged on both sides of the rotation device related to a plane defined in the longitudinal direction of the boom and the longitudinal direction of the rotation device.Type: GrantFiled: April 26, 2017Date of Patent: June 8, 2021Assignee: PONSSE OYJInventors: Toni Auvinen, Marko Halonen
