  • Patent number: 10487476
    Abstract: A urea water tank (27) is formed as a box body that includes a rear inclined surface (28A) that inclines so as to be parallel with a left inclined surface (7C) of a counterweight (7), a front inclined surface (28B) that inclines with a space being left apart from the rear inclined surface (28A) and in substantially parallel with the rear inclined surface (28A) and a front surface (28C) that is formed on front ends of the rear inclined surface (28A) and the front inclined surface (28B) and is formed into a flat surface that is parallel with a left-right direction of an upper revolving body (4). The rear inclined surface (28A) of the urea water tank (27) is disposed along and facing the left inclined surface (7C) of the counterweight (7) and the front inclined surface (28B) is disposed with a gap being left apart from and facing the heat exchanger (9).

  • Patent number: 6691510
    Abstract: A hydraulic drive system includes a hose rupture control valve unit 200 having a poppet valve member 5 serving as a main valve for opening and closing communication between a cylinder connection chamber 8 and a hose connection chamber 9, a spool valve member 6 disposed in pilot passages 15a, 15b connecting a back pressure chamber 10 and the hose connection chamber 9 of the poppet valve member 5. The spool valve member is operated by a pilot pressure supplied as an external signal and operates the poppet valve member 5, and a small relief valve 7 having the function of an overload relief valve. A check valve 39 is disposed in the pilot passage 15b for cutting off a flow of the hydraulic fluid from the hose connection chamber 9 to the back pressure chamber 10.

  • Publication number: 20020157529
    Abstract: In a hose rupture control valve unit comprising a main valve constituted by a poppet valve member and a pilot valve constituted by a spool valve member, a hydraulic fluid can be supplied from a hose connection chamber to a cylinder connection chamber even in the condition of a pilot pressure acting upon the spool valve member, so that the smooth operation can be obtained without a delay in opening of the poppet valve member upon an abrupt reversed lever operation.

  • Patent number: 5037748
    Abstract: A process for producing cis-4,5-dihydro-4,5-dihydroxyphthalic acid which comprises producing cis-4,5-dihydro-4,5-dihydroxyphthalic acid and/or a salt thereof from phthalic acid and/or a salt thereof using a microorganism whose activity to decompose cis-4,5-dihydro-4,5-dihydroxyphthalic acid and/or a salt thereof has disappeared or diminished, acidifying the product system unless it is acidic, and then extracting therefrom cis-4,5-dihydro-4,5-dihydroxyphthalic acid with such an organic solvent that it is miscible with water in any proportion and the mixture of the organic solvent with water can be separated into two layers upon adding a salt thereto, in the presence of a salt, or with an alcohol having 4 carbon atoms. The process enables one to produce cis-4,5-dihydro-4,5-dihydroxyphthalic acid from phthalic acid and/or its salt in a high yield.
