Abstract: A pressure accumulator for hydraulic systems in control mechanisms of eleic high-voltage lines comprises essentially a cylinder which is closable at its end faces by a lid, wherein the lid includes a cover plate inserted in the cylinder and having a shape such as to define an annular recess at its periphery in which a cover member is located thereby defining an annular groove between the cover plate and the cover member. Within this annular groove, a sealing member is disposed having the shape of an annular disk. For preventing penetration of the edges of the sealing ring into gaps formed between the individual lid parts and the cylinder wall, the cover member, the cover ring and the sealing ring are provided with associated recesses and grooves in which respective support rings are disposed.
