  • Patent number: 9810360
    Abstract: A coaxial coupling 10 includes a female coupling half 50 and a male coupling half 130. The coupling 10 is used in a hydraulic circuit 100 that includes a multistage hydraulic pump 101 and a hydraulic machine 102. The coupling is used in the circuit 100 to connect components when the pump is running. The coupling halves have a disconnected configuration (FIG. 1), a connection initiation configuration (FIG. 2), and a fully connected configuration (FIG. 3). Coupling half 50 includes a manually actuated restrictor 1 that signals the pump 101 to move to a low flow condition independently of load demand from the machine 102 in the connection initiation configuration. This reduces the forces required to move the coupling halves from the connection initiation configuration to the fully connected configuration.

  • Publication number: 20130019973
    Abstract: A fluid coupling 10 includes a first coupling member 11 and a second coupling member 12. The coupling members 11 and 12 are longitudinally movable relative to one another between first through fifth configurations illustrated in FIGS. 1-5 during a connection and disconnection sequence. The coupling 10 uses a locking sleeve 68 and locking balls 67 to facilitate connection and disconnection without tools. The coupling member 11 includes O-ring seals 26 and 27 carried on a sealing portion 24, and the locking balls 67 are radially spaced from the seals 26 and 27 during the connection and disconnection sequence to eliminate seal damage during the sequence. The first coupling member 11 includes a valve mechanism 41, 42, 43 and a fluid filter 46, and the valve mechanism is retained in place by the fluid filter 46. Cooperating valve mechanism 41, 42, 43, 63, 64, 65 includes a self-aligning valve poppet 64.

  • Patent number: 7121241
    Abstract: A valve control system (15) in which there is provided a deactivating rocker arm (51) disposed beneath a conventional, upper rocker arm (27), and disposed within a module housing (17). The deactivating rocker arm includes a latch tab (63) and when the latch tab engages (FIG. 3) a latch member (65), the system operates in a normal, valve activating mode. When the latch member is in an unlatched condition (FIG. 4), the deactivating rocker arm pivots, compressing the valve return spring (41), which thereafter serves as the required lost motion spring, biasing the deactivating rocker arm (51) and lash compensation device (35) back toward their normal position.
