Abstract: 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.

Abstract: A hydraulic machine includes a casing with a body and a cover; a separation member which can make a reciprocating movement and defines two chambers; hydraulic switching elements including a distribution member; a compartment in the body of the casing connected to a pressurized-liquid inlet, and initiating elements including a pusher connected to the separation member, these initiating elements being able, at the end of the stroke, to cause a sudden change in the position of the switching elements, under the action of an elastic member to reverse the stroke. The distribution member has a distribution slide valve applied against a flat plate which is fixed relative to the body of the casing, the slide valve being able to slide in a fluid-type manner, without a seal, against the plate, which has orifices connected respectively to the chambers and to a liquid outlet orifice.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: The invention relates to a dosing device for introducing an additive (A) in to a main liquid flow (L) in a conduit comprising a reciprocating differential piston pump (2) which is used for collecting and dosing the additive (A) from a container (1) and comprises a first inlet (7) for receiving the main liquid flow which ensures the pump actuation, a second inlet (8) for collecting the additive and an outlet (9) for mixing the additive and the main liquid. The inventive device comprises a Venturi (10) disposed in the conduit and the pump (2) connected in parallel position with respect thereto, wherein the first inlet (7) of the pump is connected to the Venturi input (11) and the outlet thereof is connected to the Venturi throat (12).

Abstract: A hydraulic motor comprises a body and a piston able to slide in a reciprocating movement in a cylindrical housing of the body. A chamber (C1, C2) is formed on each side of the piston and hydraulic switching means are provided for feeding and evacuating the respective chambers (C1, C2), these switching means being able to adopt two stable positions. Control means (H) having elastic means for abruptly bringing about changes in the position of the switching means are included. There are triggering means (13, 15) able, at the end of the stroke of the piston (9), to bring about the change in position of the switching means (G). The piston (9) has a closed cross section and the switching means (G) are arranged in the body (1) of the machine, redially on the outside of the cylindrical housing (7) in which the piston (9) slides.

Abstract: The invention concerns a hydraulic machine, in particular a hydraulic motor, comprising: a body (1), a piston (9) adapted to slide in reciprocating motion in a cylindrical housing (7) of the body, a chamber (C1, C2) being formed on either side of the piston, hydraulic switching means for feeding and evacuating the respective chambers (C1, C2), control means (H) for abrupt change of the position of the switching means, and triggering means (13, 15) for, at the end of the stroke of the piston (9), changing the position of the switching means. The piston (9) is a single acting and non-differential piston, having a closed cross-section and the switching means are arranged in the body (1) of the machine, radially outside the cylindrical housing (7) wherein slides the piston (9).

Abstract: A hydraulic machine comprising the following: an envelope (2); a differential piston (15) consisting of two parts (15a,15b) which have a different diameter and are able to move in two corresponding chambers (7,6); hydraulic switching means which are driven by the piston (15) and can take up two stable positions in relation to the piston; control means for a rapid change in the position of the switching means including elastic means (E); and releasing means that can release the energy accumulated by the elastic means at the end of the travel and result in an abrupt change in the position of the switching means. The switching means are supported by a side-walled (27) lantern ring (26) that is coaxial to the piston and is driven by the piston but which can take up two different stable positions in relation to the piston and elastic means (E) are disposed inside the lantern ring (26) and are internally guided by the side wall (27) of said lantern ring (26).

Abstract: The connecting rod (1) for a knuckle joint device with three parallel axes comprises a substantially U-shaped center part (2), whereby the lower transversal branch (3a) thereof constitutes a third articulated axis (X3) of a release device and said branch (3a) is connected at a substantially right angle to the side branches (3b, 3c) and elastic deformation is possible, the side branches extend as far as the upper end thereof by means of segments (3d,3e) that are bent inwards and are parallel to the transversal branch, whereby said segments (3d,3e) display torsional elasticity around the geometric axis thereof such that a rotational return movement is possible on the side ranches (3b,3c) around said geometrical axis and the second axis (X2) of the knuckle joint device.
