Abstract
Abstract An actuating device for pipe-chamber feeders of hydraulic transport equipments comprising valves or other closing appliances having a closing element that is movable reciprocally between an open and a closed position, the improvement being characterized in said closing element being associated with at least one speed control means, especially a speed reducing means acting at least at the end phase of the closing stroke of said closing element. The speed reducing effect of at least one of said speed control means may be adjustable.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
154 words
An improved actuating device for pipe-chamber feeders of hydraulic transport equipment, said actuating device comprising valves or other closing appliances having a closing element that is movable reciprocally between an open and a closed position by a hydraulic piston that is moved in a hydraulic cylinder, said closing element being associated with a plurality of throttling means adapted to have a speed reducing effect that increasingly reduces the speed of said closing element as it more nearly approaches its closed position, the speed reducing effect of at least one of said throttling means being adjustable as to its initial and ultimate throttling effect and comprising a throttle valve, that is inserted into at least one pipe-line feeding or leading away hydraulic fluid into or out from said hydraulic cylinder and said throttling means being activated in sequence by an activating member associated with a piston rod connecting said hydraulic piston and said closing member.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
154 words
An improved actuating device for pipe-chamber feeders of hydraulic transport equipment, said actuating device comprising valves or other closing appliances having a closing element that is movable reciprocally between an open and a closed position by a hydraulic piston that is moved in a hydraulic cylinder, said closing element being associated with a plurality of throttling means adapted to have a speed reducing effect that increasingly reduces the speed of said closing element as it more nearly approaches its closed position, the speed reducing effect of at least one of said throttling means being adjustable as to its initial and ultimate throttling effect and comprising a throttle valve, that is inserted into at least one pipe-line feeding or leading away hydraulic fluid into or out from said hydraulic cylinder and said throttling means being activated in sequence by an activating member associated with a piston rod connecting said hydraulic piston and said closing member.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
148 words
An improved actuating device for pipe chamber feeders of hydraulic transport equipment, said actuating device comprising valves or other closing appliances having a closing element that is movable reciprocally between an open and a closed position by a hydraulic piston that is moved in a hydraulic cylinder, said closing element being associated with at least one adjustable and variably throttling means adapted to have a speed reducing effect that increasingly reduces the speed of said closing element as it more nearly approaches its closed position, the speed reducing effect of said at least one adjustable and variably throttling means being adjustable as to its initial and ultimate throttling effect and comprising a throttle valve that is inserted into at least one pipe-line feeding or leading away hydraulic fluid into or out from said hydraulic cylinder, and an adjustable constant throttling means being also associated with the hydraulic pipelines.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
148 words
An improved actuating device for pipe chamber feeders of hydraulic transport equipment, said actuating device comprising valves or other closing appliances having a closing element that is movable reciprocally between an open and a closed position by a hydraulic piston that is moved in a hydraulic cylinder, said closing element being associated with at least one adjustable and variably throttling means adapted to have a speed reducing effect that increasingly reduces the speed of said closing element as it more nearly approaches its closed position, the speed reducing effect of said at least one adjustable and variably throttling means being adjustable as to its initial and ultimate throttling effect and comprising a throttle valve that is inserted into at least one pipe-line feeding or leading away hydraulic fluid into or out from said hydraulic cylinder, and an adjustable constant throttling means being also associated with the hydraulic pipelines.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
24 words
An improved actuating device as claimed in claim 2, wherein said constant throttling means affects flow in the hydraulic pipelines only in one direction.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
19 words
An improved actuating device as claimed in claim 2, wherein said at least one throttling means being adjustable manually.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
31 words
An improved actuating device as claimed in claim 2 wherein the throttling effect of said at least one throttling means is effective substantially over the whole stroke of said closing element.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
46 words
An improved actuating device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the activating member has a contoured activating surface, the contour of which controls the rate of change from the initial to the ultimate throttling effect of said adjustable variably throttling means activated by said activating member.
