Abstract
Abstract A double-acting rotary hydraulic jack having two jack compartments, comprising a rotary hydraulic joint for the supply of hydraulic liquid to and the evacuation of hydraulic liquid from the compartments. The two compartments of the jack each communicate with at least one axial boring in a rotary part of the jack which is not axially movable. In this boring a movable piston bears against the head of a guide rod for a spring which itself bears against the rotary part of the jack. The ends of the rods, externally of the borings, are secured to a member coaxial with the jack, for example a sleeve, whose axial position is monitored by a displacement detector, so as to give an indication of the working pressure in the active jack compartment.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
198 words
A double-acting rotary hydraulic jack comprising a stationary annular member, a cylinder-shaped member rotatably mounted in said annular member in a coaxial relationship therewith, a piston-shaped member slidably mounted in said cylinder-shaped member and defining therein two fluid-tight compartments having variable volumes, said stationary member and cylinder-shaped member being adapted to form together a rotary hydraulic joint, means for selectively connecting one of said compartments to a stationary source of a hydraulic liquid under pressure, said connecting means comprising said rotary hydraulic joint and non-return devices adapted to retain the hydraulic pressure in each of said compartments, at least two bores axially extending in said cylinder-shaped member and communicating at one end with said two compartments respectively, pistons slidably mounted in said axial bores, guide rods having each one end connected to one of said pistons and another end engaged in the other end of the respective axial bore and freely protruding outside of said cylinder-shaped member, spring means for biasing the respective one ends of said guide rods towards said pistons, a ring-shaped member connected to the respective free other ends of said guide rods, and detector means for sensing the axial position of said ring-shaped member.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
198 words
A double-acting rotary hydraulic jack comprising a stationary annular member, a cylinder-shaped member rotatably mounted in said annular member in a coaxial relationship therewith, a piston-shaped member slidably mounted in said cylinder-shaped member and defining therein two fluid-tight compartments having variable volumes, said stationary member and cylinder-shaped member being adapted to form together a rotary hydraulic joint, means for selectively connecting one of said compartments to a stationary source of a hydraulic liquid under pressure, said connecting means comprising said rotary hydraulic joint and non-return devices adapted to retain the hydraulic pressure in each of said compartments, at least two bores axially extending in said cylinder-shaped member and communicating at one end with said two compartments respectively, pistons slidably mounted in said axial bores, guide rods having each one end connected to one of said pistons and another end engaged in the other end of the respective axial bore and freely protruding outside of said cylinder-shaped member, spring means for biasing the respective one ends of said guide rods towards said pistons, a ring-shaped member connected to the respective free other ends of said guide rods, and detector means for sensing the axial position of said ring-shaped member.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
35 words
A rotary jack according to claim 1, in which each compartment of the jack communicates with at least two of said axial borings, said axial borings being distributed equally around the axis of the jack.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
31 words
A rotary jack according to claim 1, in which the rotary jack is tubular and the coaxial member is a sleeve surrounding a tubular extension of the body of the jack.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
40 words
A rotary jack according to claim 1, in which the pistons having annular sections are differential pistons which under the action of the control pressure on their annular sections, have a multiplying effect on the pressure in the jack compartments.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
26 words
A rotary jack according to claim 1, in which the axially movable coaxial member has a ferromagnetic circular periphery and the displacement detector means is electromagnetic.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
30 words
A rotary jack according to claim 3, in which said tubular extension includes a scale permitting, when the jack is at rest, an estimation of the position of the sleeve.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
24 words
A rotary jack according to claim 6, characterised in that the scale is graduated in terms of the force supplied by the rotary jack.
