Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
110 words
In a hydraulic system including a drive motor having an output shaft at a front end, a block mounted on the front end of the motor and defining a cavity, and a hydraulic machine disposed in the cavity and coupled to the output shaft, the improvement comprising: an annular flange on the hydraulic machine, first and second noise dampening elements respectively disposed against opposite sides of said flange, and cover structure mountable on the block for closing the cavity, said cover structure including a clamping portion cooperating with the block for clamping therebetween said flange and said noise dampening elements, thereby to securely mount the hydraulic machine on the block.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
110 words
In a hydraulic system including a drive motor having an output shaft at a front end, a block mounted on the front end of the motor and defining a cavity, and a hydraulic machine disposed in the cavity and coupled to the output shaft, the improvement comprising: an annular flange on the hydraulic machine, first and second noise dampening elements respectively disposed against opposite sides of said flange, and cover structure mountable on the block for closing the cavity, said cover structure including a clamping portion cooperating with the block for clamping therebetween said flange and said noise dampening elements, thereby to securely mount the hydraulic machine on the block.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
34 words
The hydraulic system of claim 1, wherein said first noise dampening element is disposed between said flange and the block, said clamping portion including an annular portion disposed against said second noise dampening element.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
31 words
The hydraulic system of claim 2, wherein said cover structure includes a cover plate fixed to the block and a tubular portion extending between said cover plate and said annular portion.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
21 words
The hydraulic system of claim 3, wherein said cover plate and said tubular portion and said annular portion are discrete elements.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
16 words
The hydraulic system of claim 3, wherein the hydraulic machine is disposed within said tubular portion.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
38 words
The hydraulic system of claim 1, and further comprising threaded fastening means fixedly securing said cover structure to the block for axially biasing together said annular flange and said noise-dampening elements and the block axially of the motor.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
23 words
The hydraulic system of claim 1, wherein the hydraulic machine includes a base plate, said annular flange being integral with said base plate.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
45 words
The hydraulic system of claim 7, wherein said block has ports formed therein and said base plate has channels formed therein, and further comprising fitting pieces providing communication between said ports and said channels and serving to position the hydraulic machine relative to the block.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
57 words
The hydraulic system of claim 1, wherein the block has first and second ends respectively disposed adjacent to and remote from the output end of the drive motor, the block having an end wall closing the cavity at the first end of the block, said cover structure closing the cavity at the second end of the block.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
25 words
The hydraulic system of claim 1, wherein the cavity is dimensioned to provide clearance around the hydraulic machine to define a leak oil space therefor.
