Alexander ALBERT has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 12241482
    Abstract: A piston accumulator has an accumulator housing and a separating piston (8) guided for longitudinal motion in the accumulator housing. The separating piston separates a liquid side (4) from a gas side (10) in the accumulator housing. Liquid unintentionally transitions from the liquid side (4) to the gas side (10) despite a piston seal on the separating piston (8). By a return device (28), the transitioned liquid is at least partially returned from the gas side (10) of the accumulator housing to the liquid side (4) of the accumulator housing.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10941789
    Abstract: A hydropneumatic piston accumulator has an accumulator housing (1) defining a housing longitudinal axis (11) and a piston (9) longitudinally movable between two housing covers (5, 7) positioned opposite each other. In the housing (1), the piston (9) separates a working chamber (13) for a compressible medium, such as a working gas, from a working chamber (15) for an incompressible medium, such as hydraulic fluid. A piston part (55) of a displacement measurement device continuously determines each position of the piston (9) in the housing (1). A rod-shaped guide (29, 57) is stationarily positioned in the accumulator housing (1) and passes all the way through the piston (9) in each of its displacement positions in the accumulator housing (1). The piston (9) is movably guided along the guide until it reaches the stop on one of the two housing covers (5, 7) and is sealed against this guide (29,57) using a sealing device (49, 50).

  • Publication number: 20200362883
    Abstract: A piston accumulator, having an accumulator housing and a separating piston (8) guided for longitudinal motion therein, wherein said separating piston separates a liquid side (4) from a gas side (10) in the accumulator housing, and wherein liquid unintentionally transitions from the liquid side (4) to the gas side (10) despite a piston seal on the separating piston (8), is characterized in that, by means of a return device (28) the transitioned liquid is at least partially returned from the gas side (10) of the accumulator housing to the liquid side (4) of the latter.

  • Patent number: 9670746
    Abstract: A device (1) adjusts a media pressure relative to an ambient pressure defined by a depth-dependent sea water pressure during use of the device (1). The sea water pressure acts on a compensator device (35) that permits a reversible change in length or elongation. At least two compensator elements (41) of the compensator device (35) are provided in series in the direction of the change in length or elongation.
