  • Patent number: 6199379
    Abstract: An oil circuit of a jack for rising an object to a preset position rapidly, wherein the oil inlet circuit of a hydraulic loop system is improved. An oil channel is installed between the inner oil chamber of the piston rod and the sequential valve. A check valve is installed between the oil channel and the sequential valve. An oil channel is installed between the sequential valve and the check valve for being connected to the inner oil chamber of the piston rod. By changing the positions of the check valve and the oil channel. When in the working conditions of dump load or light load, the sequential valve is closed, thus, the hydraulic oil may enter into the inner oil chamber of the piston rod from the pumping oil chamber through the check valve so that the piston rod will rise rapidly to a still condition. In the still condition, since the check valve closes the oil channel, the sequential valve will open automatically so that the inner oil chamber of the piston rod is communicated to the inner oil reservoir.

  • Patent number: 4151720
    Abstract: A manually operable hydraulic actuator which utilizes a main pump and an auxiliary pump to quickly develop a relatively large useful hydraulic force, for example, in applying compression accessories to stranded conductors such as cables. The main pump develops a relatively high pressure from a low volume of hydraulic fluid to develop the primary hydraulic force. The auxiliary pump develops a relatively low pressure from a high volume of hydraulic fluid to produce rapid advancement of a force-applying piston relative to a work piece. Both the main and auxiliary pumps are operated by the opposed swinging movement of two manually operable handles. One of the handles is selectively movable between a first position for simultaneously actuating both the main and auxiliary pumps and a second position for actuating the main pump only. A pressure relief system is provided to ensure development of the maximum rated pressure of the force-applying piston before retraction thereof can be effected.
