Abstract

A hydraulic pressure spring includes a hollow cylindrical cylinder having a threaded portion at one end thereof; a closure means which is threadedly engaged with the threaded portion at the one end of the cylinder and closes the one end of the cylinder; a closure means which is provided at the other end of the cylinder and closes the other end of the cylinder; a compressible liquid which is sealed in an interior of the cylinder and is pressurized to a predetermined pressure; a rod which is passed through the closure means movably in an axial direction A and causes the liquid in the interior of the cylinder to undergo a pressure rise as the rod enters the interior of the cylinder; and a piston disposed in the interior of the cylinder and attached to one end of the rod.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A hydraulic pressure spring comprising:
a hollow cylindrical cylinder having a threaded portion at at least one end thereof;
one closure means which is threadedly engaged with the threaded portion at the one end of said cylinder and closes the one end of said cylinder;
another closure means which is provided at another end of said cylinder and closes the other end of said cylinder;
a compressible liquid which is sealed in an interior of said cylinder and is pressurized to a predetermined pressure; and
a rod which is passed through said other closure means movably in an axial direction and causes the liquid in the interior of said cylinder to undergo a pressure rise as said rod enters the interior of said cylinder,
said liquid sealed in the interior of said cylinder being pressurized to a predetermined level by the threaded insertion of said one closure means into the threaded portion of said cylinder,
said threaded portion of said cylinder being constituted by an internal thread formed on an inner peripheral surface of said cylinder at the one end of said cylinder,
said other closure means including a through hole, and a seal member secured to an inner peripheral surface defining the through hole,
said seal member extending from one open end of the through hole to another open end of the through hole in the axial direction and being fixed to the inner peripheral surface defining the through hole,
said rod being passed through the seal member in a state in which an outer peripheral surface thereof is brought into contact with an inner peripheral surface of the seal member slidably in the axial direction.

2. The hydraulic pressure spring according to claim 1 , wherein said other closure means has a closing portion which is formed integrally at the other end of said cylinder or a closure member which is threadedly engaged with the other end of said cylinder.

3. The hydraulic pressure spring according to claim 1 , further comprising a piston disposed in the interior of said cylinder and attached to one end of said rod,
wherein said piston has an outer peripheral surface between which and the inner peripheral surface of said cylinder a clearance allowing said compressible liquid to flow is formed.
