  • Patent number: 9109344
    Abstract: In the working machine, first and second pilot flow paths are directly or indirectly connected to a tank flow path (52). A first restrictor is disposed between the first pilot flow path and the tank flow path. A second restrictor is disposed between the second pilot flow path and the tank flow path. An actuator control unit is configured to control an actuator based on a hydraulic pressure detected by a first hydraulic pressure detector unit and that detected by a second hydraulic pressure detector unit sensor.

  • Patent number: 6745965
    Abstract: A timber crusher capable of sufficiently exhibiting an effect of preventing timber pieces from scattering to an outside and also preventing damage to the crusher is provided. To this end, in the timber crusher comprising, on a base, a crusher for crushing timber into pieces and a rotary tub for guiding the timber to the crusher, a hopper (5) having an upwardly open shell part (5b) and guiding the charged timber to the rotary tub (3) is provided at an opening of the rotary tub (3). The hopper (5) is inclined with respect to the horizontal and is tiltable. Further, the hopper (5) may be provided with a scattering prevention cover (7) for preventing timber from scattering to an outside from an inside of the rotary tub (3).
