Patent number: 8136441Abstract: Hydraulic machine, in particular hydraulic motor, comprising a casing, a differential piston (4) having a region of large cross section and a region of smaller cross section, which can slide with a reciprocating movement respectively in the casing and in a housing coaxial to, and of smaller diameter than, the casing, the piston separating two chambers of the casing and being provided at the location of its large cross section and its small cross section with sealing lips (48, 49) which are oriented in opposite directions and which face one another. The sealing lips (48, 49) are provided on detachable circular rings (50, 51), and the piston (4) is molded in one piece.Type: GrantFiled: December 7, 2006Date of Patent: March 20, 2012Assignee: Dosatron InternationalInventors: Matthieu Darbois, Sébastien Furet, Philippe Duquennoy, Dominique Berton

Patent number: 7975597Abstract: Hydraulic machine includes: a casing; a piston slidable therein and separating two chambers; hydraulic switching elements for supplying liquid to and for evacuating the chambers, including at least one connecting rod acting on a distribution member which can adopt two stable positions; and initiating elements having a pusher which, at the end of the piston stroke, can cause a sudden change in the position of the switching elements, under the action of an elastic member to reverse the stroke. Each end of the elastic member is secured to an articulation member respectively accommodated in a housing provided on the connecting rod and on another moving part, each housing being open in a direction substantially opposed to the direction of the force exerted by the elastic member, such that each articulation member can be removed from its open housing against the action of the force, thereby simplifying assembly and disassembly.Type: GrantFiled: December 7, 2006Date of Patent: July 12, 2011Assignee: Dosatron InternationalInventors: Matthieu Darbois, Sébastien Furet, Philippe Duquennoy, Dominique Berton
