Abstract
Abstract A hydraulic pressure system for supplying a fluid under pressure includes a fluid pressure source for supplying the fluid pressure, an accumulator for storing part of the fluid from the fluid pressure source, the accumulator having a gas chamber filled with a high-pressure gas for pressurizing the stored fluid, and a structural member having a hermetically sealed space held in fluid communication with the gas chamber. The structural member comprises a link of an articulated mechanism interconnecting articulations, the link comprising a high polymer composite material and a metal material and having smaller-diameter portions joined to the articulations, respectively. The composite material comprises a prepreg which is either woven of weft threads extending parallel to an axis of the link and warp threads extending perpendicularly to the axis of the link, or woven of weft threads and warp threads which are inclined at about 54.75° with respect to the axis of the link.

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
100 words
A hydraulic pressure system for supplying a fluid under pressure, comprising: a fluid pressure source for supplying the fluid pressure; an accumulator for storing part of the fluid from said fluid pressure source, said accumulator having a gas chamber filled with a high-pressure gas for pressurizing the stored fluid; and a structural member having a hermetically sealed spaced held in fluid communication with said gas chamber, wherein said structural member comprises a link of an articulated mechanism interconnecting articulations, said link comprising a high polymer composite material and a metal material and having smaller-diameter portions joined to said articulations, respectively.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
100 words
A hydraulic pressure system for supplying a fluid under pressure, comprising: a fluid pressure source for supplying the fluid pressure; an accumulator for storing part of the fluid from said fluid pressure source, said accumulator having a gas chamber filled with a high-pressure gas for pressurizing the stored fluid; and a structural member having a hermetically sealed spaced held in fluid communication with said gas chamber, wherein said structural member comprises a link of an articulated mechanism interconnecting articulations, said link comprising a high polymer composite material and a metal material and having smaller-diameter portions joined to said articulations, respectively.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
52 words
A hydraulic pressure system according to claim 2, wherein each of said articulation includes means for actuating the articulation with the fluid supplied under pressure from said fluid pressure source and said accumulator, said link having means for introducing the fluid under pressure to act in said space in said structural member.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
56 words
A hydraulic pressure system according to claim 2, wherein said composite material comprises a prepreg woven of weft threads extending parallel to an axis of said link and warp threads extending perpendicularly to the axis of the link, said warp threads being laid at a density which is substantially twice the density of said weft threads.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
36 words
A hydraulic pressure system according to claim 2, wherein said composite material comprises a prepreg woven of weft threads and warp threads which are inclined at about 54.75° with respect to an axis of said link.
