  • Patent number: 7819437
    Abstract: A flange hose fitting assembly and method wherein a captive flange is attached to a flexible hose nipple after the nipple has been crimped to the flexible hose. The flange, which may be selected from different types of flanges, is slipped over the front end of the nipple that is crimped at its back end to the flexible hose, and then locked to the nipple by a suitable retaining device, such as a retaining ring, spring, screw-on or glue-on ring, press-fit ring, piston-ring, shaft seal, U-shaped halves or other split configurations arranged around a locking groove in the nipple, etc.

  • Patent number: 7726702
    Abstract: Assembly for connecting a pipe having a flanged end in fluid communication with an opposing part. The assembly includes an insert received coaxially within the pipe end and having a forward end face extending axially beyond the pipe end, a clamp ring received coaxially over the pipe end, and a flange piece which is fastenable to the opposing as received coaxially over the clamp ring. As the flange piece is fastened to the opposing part, the forward end face of the insert is urged into a sealable engagement against a confronting surface of the opposing part.

  • Patent number: 4328739
    Abstract: The hydrostatic piston machine is provided with hydrostatic bearing pockets at least one of which is provided with an unthrottled flow of high-pressure medium while at least one other pocket is provided with a throttled flow of high-pressure medium. And the pockets are sized relative to each other so that the pockets receiving the unthrottled flow compensate for 70% to 95% of the force on the bearing while the pockets receiving the throttled flow compensate for 30% to 5% of the bearing forces applied.

  • Patent number: 4295690
    Abstract: A hydrostatic bearing for a radial piston machine includes a stationary pintle and a member rotatably mounted on the pintle, a bore in the pintle for high pressure flow, a hydrostatic bearing pocket in the surface, with a throttle and, the pintle has varying radii to its surface.

  • Patent number: 4056042
    Abstract: The hydrostatic piston machine has a smooth cylindrical pintle which is fixedly mounted in the housing and on which a cylinder block is rotatably mounted. The guide member for the pistons is eccentrically mounted about the pintle and has means thereon for supplying and/or taking off the torque of the machine. The eccentricity of this guide member is adjusted by a movable guide means within the housing. This guide means is controlled by the pressure mdium flowing through the machine.

  • Patent number: 4056080
    Abstract: Powdered fuel charges are injected mechanically into a pocket in the piston during a first half of a compression stroke for subsequent expulsion into the combustion chamber during the second half of the compression stroke. The dosing and ejecting means is mounted in the cylinder wall and includes a plunger which ejects the fuel charges from a duct. Movement of the plunger in the duct is cyclically blocked by a slider during filling of the duct with a fuel charge.

  • Patent number: 4033237
    Abstract: A floating bearing ring is disposed between each bearing surface of the fixed pin and the guide member for the pistons and in spaced relation to each. The clearance of the bearing rings from the pin bearing surfaces is less than the clearance of the bearing rings from the guide member. Upon heating of the pin, the bearing rings simultaneously heat up to the same temperature to maintain their clearance. This prevents seizing of the bearing rings and, in turn, the guide member on the pin during use.

  • Patent number: 3968734
    Abstract: The guide member for the pistons is made of a guide ring and a pair of disc-shaped side parts. The mating bearing surfaces of the guide ring and each side part are disposed about a plane of symmetry which is coincident with the plane of symmetry of the bearing surface of side part on the pin. This avoids deformation of the guide member under high radial loads.

  • Patent number: 3955477
    Abstract: The pintle is mounted at one end in a lever which is pivotal about an axis parallel to the pintle axis and guide member axis. In addition, a guide means is provided to laterally guide the lever and pintle within the casing during pivoting of the lever. The guide means includes various guide elements between the pintle and casing, lever and casing and the lever pivot and casing.
