Patent number: 10112290Abstract: A device for monitoring pressure within a gas space, which is filled with gas, preferably nitrogen, and/or is prestressed, of a pressure accumulator of a hydraulically driven percussive mechanism having a housing in which a piston is mounted, together with a display element which extends through the face surface of the housing, so as to be slidingly movable counter to the force of a spring, wherein the piston divides the housing into a pressure chamber and a spring chamber. The spring acts on a spring chamber-side working surface of the piston, and the pressure accumulator is at least indirectly operatively connected to the pressure chamber-side working surface of the piston, such that, in the event of a critical pressure within the pressure accumulator being undershot, the piston and the display element are displaced to such an extent that the display element protrudes out of the housing.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 2015Date of Patent: October 30, 2018Assignee: CONSTRUCTION TOOLS GMBHInventors: Uwe Autschbach, Stefan Lohmann

Patent number: 10052746Abstract: A device for monitoring the pressure within a gas space, which is filled with a gas, preferably nitrogen, and/or is prestressed, of a pressure accumulator of a hydraulically driven percussive mechanism, in particular of a demolition hammer or of a drilling hammer, having a housing in which a piston is mounted, together with an indicator element which extends through the face surface of the housing, in slidingly movable fashion. The piston divides the housing into two chambers, and a first, pressure accumulator-side chamber and a pressure accumulator-side working surface, which is averted from the indicator element, of the piston are operatively connected at least indirectly to the gas space of the pressure accumulator. A second, hydraulics-side chamber and a hydraulics-side working surface, facing toward the indicator element, of the piston are connected to the hydraulic system of the percussive mechanism.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 2015Date of Patent: August 21, 2018Assignee: Construction Tools GmbHInventors: Uwe Autschbach, Stefan Lohmann

Patent number: 9574962Abstract: The present invention relates to a hydraulic attachment comprising a hydraulic circuit, the attachment being a construction or demolition tool, in particular a hydraulic breaker, demolition shears, scrap shears, a pulverizer, a gripper, a crusher bucket or a compactor, which can be mechanically connected to a support device and hydraulically connected to the hydraulic system of the support device. In order to enable the hydraulic circuit to be opened quickly and safely within an attachment and, in particular, to make it possible to display the presence of a particular pressure level within a hydraulic attachment and to determine whether a dangerous residual pressure is present in the system, a hydraulic attachment is proposed that has a residual pressure display (40) which is connected to the hydraulic circuit of the attachment in a detachable or non-detachable manner.Type: GrantFiled: March 19, 2013Date of Patent: February 21, 2017Assignee: CONSTRUCTION TOOLS GMBHInventors: Oliver Preuss, Stefan Lohmann, Colin Dirr, Oleg Knjazev, Martina Jaekel, Uwe Autschbach, Markus Mellwig

Publication number: 20150068782Abstract: The invention relates to a percussion device comprising a percussion mechanism housing which has a receiving bore in which a percussion piston is mounted such that it is movable along the longitudinal axis, wherein at least one percussion mechanism guide surface having an inner diameter is formed in the receiving bore and at least one percussion piston guide surface having an outer diameter is formed on the percussion piston. In order to avoid radial contact between the percussion piston and the percussion mechanism housing as far as possible, to reduce the volume of oil leakage through the gap of the guide surface and to prevent wear on the guide surfaces and on the lands between the seals, according to the invention the percussion mechanism guide surface has, at least in some regions, an inner diameter that increases non-linearly in the axial direction and/or the percussion piston guide surface has an outer diameter that decreases non-linearly in the axial direction.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 5, 2013Publication date: March 12, 2015Inventors: Markus Mellwig, Uwe Autschbach

Patent number: 7779930Abstract: The invention relates to a striking device (5) comprising a striking mechanism (8) which is driven by a pressure medium. Said device comprises a percussion piston (13) which can be displaced back and forth by means of a control device and a control valve which is embodied as a pressure shut-off valve (19) or as a stop valve, said control valve automatically stopping the striking mechanism if it exceeds a predetermined maximum value based on the working pressure controlling the inlet line, blocking the pressure line (3) or maintaining the control device in one of the and positions thereof. The inventive striking device also comprises a hydraulic catcher buffer which is used to brake the percussion piston when it exceeds a predetermined impact plane. According to the invention, the control valve must remain deactivated at least as long as the percussion piston is displaced on the hydraulic catcher buffer.Type: GrantFiled: July 2, 2005Date of Patent: August 24, 2010Assignee: Atlas Copco Construction Tools GmbHInventors: Stefan Lohmann, Karlheinz Fritz, Reiner Koch, Markus Mellwig, Hendrik Moller, Uwe Autschbach
