Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
111 words
A hydraulic cushion mechanism comprising a body providing a piston-receiving opening, a piston having a rod projecting from said opening and sealed therein, hydraulic fluid within said opening, said opening and piston being contoured to provide an exponentially decreasing clearance, said rod being hollow and having an accumulator piston mounted therein, spring means in said hollow rod for urging said accumulator piston toward the first mentioned piston, spring means in said opening urging said first mentioned piston so as to extend said rod, and port means in said rod between said first mentioned piston and said accumulator piston to permit displacement of hydraulic fluid from said opening into said hollow rod.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
111 words
A hydraulic cushion mechanism comprising a body providing a piston-receiving opening, a piston having a rod projecting from said opening and sealed therein, hydraulic fluid within said opening, said opening and piston being contoured to provide an exponentially decreasing clearance, said rod being hollow and having an accumulator piston mounted therein, spring means in said hollow rod for urging said accumulator piston toward the first mentioned piston, spring means in said opening urging said first mentioned piston so as to extend said rod, and port means in said rod between said first mentioned piston and said accumulator piston to permit displacement of hydraulic fluid from said opening into said hollow rod.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
53 words
The structure of claim 1 in which said first mentioned piston is equipped with check valve means for limiting flow from said opening into said hollow rod upon an impact force being applied to said rod but wiich permits flow from said hollow rod to said opening upon release of said impact force.
