  • Patent number: 9868197
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a valve for a hydraulically operated percussion mechanism having a main valve (2, 102) which is in the form of a rotary slide valve having a rotary slide. In order to reduce the installation space and the production costs of such valves, it is proposed according to the invention that the rotary slide is configured as a receiving housing which receives a valve element in the form of a secondary valve (68, 114). Furthermore, the invention relates to the use of a valve which is arranged on a percussion mechanism of a hydraulic hammer.

  • Patent number: 9574962
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a hydraulic attachment comprising a hydraulic circuit, the attachment being a construction or demolition tool, in particular a hydraulic breaker, demolition shears, scrap shears, a pulverizer, a gripper, a crusher bucket or a compactor, which can be mechanically connected to a support device and hydraulically connected to the hydraulic system of the support device. In order to enable the hydraulic circuit to be opened quickly and safely within an attachment and, in particular, to make it possible to display the presence of a particular pressure level within a hydraulic attachment and to determine whether a dangerous residual pressure is present in the system, a hydraulic attachment is proposed that has a residual pressure display (40) which is connected to the hydraulic circuit of the attachment in a detachable or non-detachable manner.
