  • Patent number: 10562165
    Abstract: A hydraulic hammer for a machine is provided. The hydraulic hammer includes a housing and a piston disposed within the housing and adapted to reciprocate along a longitudinal axis of the housing. The hydraulic hammer further includes a first chamber and a second chamber defined within the housing. The hydraulic hammer further includes a primary passage extending from an inlet and branching into a first passage and a second passage. The first passage fluidly communicates the primary passage with the first chamber and the second passage fluidly communicates the primary passage with the second chamber. The hydraulic hammer further includes a flow control device coupled to the first passage. The flow control device includes a valve element adapted to move between a first position and a second position based on an input signal indicative of a pressure of charge in the first chamber.

  • Patent number: 10532837
    Abstract: A support device (20), mounted on an upper edge of a container (3), includes lifting elements that define a support surface (22) which extends transversely outwards from an inner edge (55). The upper end (2b) of a flexible pouch for biopharmaceutical product can rest on this support surface, the rest of the 3D-type pouch extending into the container. The slot (23) which separates the support surface into two portions defines a guide path for a flexible supply line (9a, 9b) for the pouch (2) that is connected at its bottom to the end (2b). A convex surface is formed at the rear end of the slot and above the edge of the container, so as to guide and facilitate the passage of the line (9a) into the housing, when the filling state is sufficiently advanced. The causes of poor deployment of the pouch are thus minimized, without human intervention.

  • Patent number: 10517220
    Abstract: A wrapping device and a web supplying method are used on board of an agricultural harvester. A supply reel with wrapping material is held between two parts of an unrolling station. A web moving member moves a web taken from this supply reel away from the unrolling station. For replacing the supply reel with a further supply reel, the further supply reel is placed on at least one supporting roller. The or every supporting roller is stationary and is positioned angularly below the unrolling station and between two unrolling station parts. The further supply reel on the supporting roller is shifted in a shifting direction towards an unrolling station part.

  • Patent number: 10493610
    Abstract: A hydraulic hammering device that uses a scheme in which a front chamber is switched into communication with a low-pressure circuit when a piston advances, wherein occurrences of “galling” to the piston at a sliding contact portion with a front-chamber liner is reduced. The front chamber has the front-chamber liner fitted to an inner surface of a cylinder. A hydraulic chamber space communicating with the front chamber and filled with hydraulic oil is formed as a cushion chamber on the inner peripheral surface of a rear portion of the front-chamber liner. The cushion chamber has a second drain circuit (from first end face grooves to slits to second end face grooves), which is provided separately from a drain circuit that guides the hydraulic fluid passing through a liner bearing of the front-chamber liner to the low-pressure circuit.
