Abstract
Abstract A mounting plate for hydraulic installations, such as hydraulic reservoirs, pumps, motors, control valves and servomechanisms, wherein a network of fittings and ducts is initially formed by soldering tubular conduits to cast or forged fittings (adapted to be threadedly connected to the hydraulic devices). The network is thereafter cast in a synthetic resin, usually a polyester, such that the fittings are flush with the surface of the resin and the latter fills the interstices between the fittings and the ducts to cushion the latter and resiliently damp vibration and noise.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
106 words
A mounting and fluid-distribution plate for a hydraulic installation, comprising: a synthetic-resin body having at least two planar surfaces; at least three fittings imbedded in said body and each having a flat face formed with a threaded port, at least two of said fittings having their said faces flush with one of said surfaces and another of said fittings having its said face flush with the other of said surfaces; and straight duct members imbedded in said body and rigidly attached to and interconnecting said fittings, said members and said fittings forming a hydraulic transmission network completely surrounded by said body with only said faces exposed.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
106 words
A mounting and fluid-distribution plate for a hydraulic installation, comprising: a synthetic-resin body having at least two planar surfaces; at least three fittings imbedded in said body and each having a flat face formed with a threaded port, at least two of said fittings having their said faces flush with one of said surfaces and another of said fittings having its said face flush with the other of said surfaces; and straight duct members imbedded in said body and rigidly attached to and interconnecting said fittings, said members and said fittings forming a hydraulic transmission network completely surrounded by said body with only said faces exposed.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
15 words
The plate defined in claim 1 wherein said duct members are soldered to said fittings.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
15 words
The plate as defined in claim 1 wherein said synthetic resin is a polyester resin.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
35 words
The plate as defined in claim 1 wherein said network further includes at least one elbow connected with at least one elbow connected with at least one of said fittings by a respective duct member.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
29 words
The plate as defined in claim 1 wherein said network further includes at least one Tee connected with at least one of said fittings by a respective duct member.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
12 words
The plate defined in claim 1 wherein said surfaces are substantially parallel.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
21 words
The plate as defined in claim 6 wherein at least one of said fittings terminates flush with both of said surfaces.
Claim 9
Independent Claim
97 words
A method of making a mounting and fluid-distribution plate comprising the steps of: interconnecting a plurality of straight duct members with a plurality of fittings to form a hydraulic transmission network, at least three of said fittings having each a flat face formed with a threaded port, two of said faces being coplanar; and encapsulating said network in a synthetic-resin body having at least two flat surfaces with the two coplanar faces flush with one of said surfaces and the face of the other fitting flush with the other surface such that only said faces are exposed.
Claim 10
Independent Claim
97 words
A method of making a mounting and fluid-distribution plate comprising the steps of: interconnecting a plurality of straight duct members with a plurality of fittings to form a hydraulic transmission network, at least three of said fittings having each a flat face formed with a threaded port, two of said faces being coplanar; and encapsulating said network in a synthetic-resin body having at least two flat surfaces with the two coplanar faces flush with one of said surfaces and the face of the other fitting flush with the other surface such that only said faces are exposed.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
52 words
The method defined in claim 8 wherein said duct members are inserted in said fittings together with solder rings, said method further comprising the step of heating said network in an antioxidation atmosphere to the flow temperature of said solder rings Simultaneously to bond all of said duct members to said fittings.
