  • Publication number: 20210246894
    Abstract: Downhole well pump assembly (1) having first and second pump units (7a, 7b) with first and second bellows (31) connected to inlet and outlet check valves. A drive fluid assembly (5) with first and second hydraulic drive lines (9a, 9b) communicates with the bellows. Hydraulic fluid is provided to the first and second hydraulic drive lines. A drive fluid distribution valve (11) is arranged between a drive pump (17) and the drive lines. It has a drive fluid inlet and outlet (113, 115), and first and second drive ports. The distribution valve (11) interchanges between a first mode, where the drive fluid inlet communicates with the first drive port and the drive fluid outlet (115) communicates with the second drive port; and a second mode, wherein the drive fluid inlet communicates with the second drive port, and the drive fluid outlet communicates with the first drive port.

  • Patent number: 7833129
    Abstract: Training apparatus for physical exercise, preventive exercise and rehabilitation of injuries and increased balance, the apparatus designed as a stationary bicycle, similar to ergometer bikes or spinning bikes. The apparatus consist of a first lower stable frame configured to be supported on a floor and a second upper frame tiltable relative to the lower frame. The upper frame has an adjustable tilt movement relative the lower frame crosswise the flywheel's revolving motion. A steering gear is guided through the upper frame where a prolonged part of the steering gear is in contact with the floor, the part having a wheel suspension like design, consisting of barlinks, dampers, springs and wheels. Stabilizing of the upper frame is done by movement of the steering gear.
