  • Patent number: 7591284
    Abstract: A hydraulic accumulator, especially a piston accumulator includes an accumulator housing (10) and a separating piston that can be longitudinally displaced in the accumulator housing (10) and divides two working chambers (12) inside the accumulator housing (10). The housing is sealed on each end by one cover part (16). At least one cover part is fixed, on one side (32) by a free longitudinal edge (34) of the accumulator housing (10). The edge is arranged against the cover part (16). By connecting the free longitudinal edge (34) of the accumulator housing (10) to the associated cover part (16) by a peripheral weld seam (46) for sealing at least one working chamber (12) from the environment in a gas-tight and/or fluid-tight manner, a reliable sealing is obtained by the weld seam (46). The weld seam also connects the free longitudinal edge (34) of the accumulator housing (10) to the associated cover part (16).

    Abstract: The invention relates to a hydraulic accumulator, especially a piston accumulator, comprising an accumulator housing (10) and a separating piston that can be longitudinally displaced in the accumulator housing (10) and divides two working chambers (12) inside the accumulator housing (10). The housing is sealed on each end by respectively one cover part (16). At least one cover part is fixed; on one side (32) thereof, by means of a free longitudinal edge (34) of the accumulator housing (10), said edge being arranged against the cover part (16). By connecting the free longitudinal edge (34) of the accumulator housing (10) to the associated cover part (16) by means of a peripheral weld seam (46) for sealing at least one working chamber (12) from the environment in a gas-tight and/or fluid-tight manner, a reliable sealing is obtained by the weld seam (46), said weld seam also connecting the free longitudinal edge (34) of the accumulator housing (10) to the associated cover pant (16).

  • Patent number: 7066208
    Abstract: A hydraulic accumulator, particularly a piston-type accumulator, includes an accumulator housing (1) which defines a longitudinal axis (9), is provided with an opening that is concentric with the longitudinal axis (9) and is closed by means of a lid (11). The lid is secured in a form-fitting manner against axial forces by a wall portion (25) of the accumulator housing (1). The housing encompasses the lid and is radially deformed towards the inside. The hydraulic accumulator also includes at least one part (39) that is deformed perpendicular to the longitudinal axis (9) secure the lid (11) in a form-fitting manner against being twisted relative to the longitudinal axis (9).

    Abstract: Disclosed is a hydraulic accumulator, particularly a piston-type accumulator, comprising an accumulator housing (1) which defines a longitudinal axis (9) and is provided with an opening that is concentric with the longitudinal axis (9) and is closed by means of a lid (11). Said lid is secured in a form-fitting manner against axial forces by means of a wall portion (25) of the accumulator housing (1), which encompasses the lid and is radially deformed towards the inside. The inventive hydraulic accumulator also comprises at least one part (39) that is deformed perpendicular to the longitudinal axis (9) so as to secure the lid (11) in a form-fitting manner against being twisted relative to the longitudinal axis (9).
