  • Publication number: 20200009874
    Abstract: The subject matter discloses a fluid cartridge comprising a container to hold a predetermined volume of fluid, and a lid for closing the container. The lid comprises a valve-recess and an inlet valve in the valve-recess to transfer a volume of a replacement fluid in the container for replacing depleted volume of fluid in the container. A rocker valve is pivoted in the valve-recess to cover the inlet valve during a regulation phase. The rocker valve is to open the inlet valve during an actuation phase to allow the replacement fluid to enter the container. A spring element is movably disposed on the rocker valve to control actuation of the rocker valve for opening and closing the inlet valve. The spring element slides across the rocker valve, from a regulation zone of the rocker valve to an actuation zone of the rocker valve, to open the inlet valve.

  • Patent number: 10288093
    Abstract: A device for vibration reduction in a hydraulic actuating system has a housing in which a pressure chamber is able to be disposed in fluid connection with the actuating system by way of at least one connection and bounded by a resilient membrane. The membrane has a pressure-loadable surface and a surface which is remote therefrom and provided with a profiling, by way of which the membrane when loaded with pressure can be supported on a fixed wall section of the housing and which has at least one web section comprising at least one web with a web foot, a web end adjacent to the wall section, and a defined web cross-section. The web is of asymmetrical construction with respect to a notional plane extending normal to the pressure-loadable surface through the web foot and perpendicularly to the web cross-section.
