  • Patent number: 7958907
    Abstract: A fluid pressure circuit that can, in either case where a first actuator that is fed from a first pump or a second actuator that is fed from a second pump is operated, by allowing feeding of the hydraulic fluid to a specific actuator from either the first or second pump, improve interlockability with the specific actuator. A control valve is incorporated with a plurality of first-group spools fed from a drive pump and a plurality of second-group spools fed from an idle pump. A solenoid selector valve unit switches a pilot line of a second-group tool controlling spool to a communicating state at the time of detection of a spool operation by a first pressure switch and switches a pilot line of a first-group tool controlling spool to a communicating state at the time of detection of a spool operation by a second pressure switch.

  • Patent number: 7946771
    Abstract: A camera support comprises a baseplate on which first and second engaging means are formed for releasably engaging first and second portions of a camera body displaced along the baseplate in an engaging direction. The first engaging means defines an abutment position for the first portion of the camera body, and the second engaging means defines a space between two sidewalls for slidably receiving a web of second portion of the camera body, and wherein one of said sidewalls is displaceable towards the other and is coupled to a trigger of the first engaging means so as to clamp the web between the sidewalls when the trigger is operated by the first portion reaching the abutment position. A camera support of this kind can be used advantageously for a respective camera assembly, for example a superexpander.
