Abstract
Abstract A hydraulic power system having a variable displacement hydraulic pump, a hydraulic motor driven by the hydraulic pump for actuating a load, the pump and motor being connected to constitute a closed hydraulic circuit, hydraulic servo for controlling the displacement volume of the pump, and motor stopping device including a brake arrangement adapted to release the motor from a braked condition when a control pressure from a hydraulic fluid source is received. The system includes a control valve responsive to a main line pressure in the closed hydraulic circuit for controlling a hydraulic fluid supply to the servo to prevent the main line pressure from substantially exceeding a predetermined level, first pressure transmission control interlocked with an input of the servo for transmitting the control pressure to the brake arrangement when the input is actuated, and a second pressure transmission control responsive to the pressure of a hydraulic fluid supply to the servo on the output side of the control valve for transmitting the control pressure to the brake arrangement when the supply pressure is substantially lower than a normal supply pressure of the hydraulic fluid source.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
195 words
A hydraulic power system comprising a variable displacement hydraulic pump, a hydraulic motor driven by said hydraulic pump for actuating a load, said pump and motor being connected to constitute a closed hydraulic circuit, hydraulic servo means for controlling the displacement volume of said pump, and motor stopping means including brake means adapted to release the motor from a braked condition when a control pressure from a hydraulic fluid source is received, wherein the hydraulic power system comprises: a control valve responsive to a main line pressure in said closed hydraulic circuit for controlling a hydraulic fluid supply to said servo means to prevent said main line pressure from substantially exceeding a predetermined level; first pressure transmission control means interlocked with input means of said servo means for transmitting said control pressure to said brake means when said input means is actuated; and second pressure transmission control means responsive to the pressure of a hydraulic fluid supply to said servo means on the output side of the control valve for transmitting said control pressure to said brake means when said supply pressure is substantially lower than a normal supply pressure of the hydraulic fluid source.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
195 words
A hydraulic power system comprising a variable displacement hydraulic pump, a hydraulic motor driven by said hydraulic pump for actuating a load, said pump and motor being connected to constitute a closed hydraulic circuit, hydraulic servo means for controlling the displacement volume of said pump, and motor stopping means including brake means adapted to release the motor from a braked condition when a control pressure from a hydraulic fluid source is received, wherein the hydraulic power system comprises: a control valve responsive to a main line pressure in said closed hydraulic circuit for controlling a hydraulic fluid supply to said servo means to prevent said main line pressure from substantially exceeding a predetermined level; first pressure transmission control means interlocked with input means of said servo means for transmitting said control pressure to said brake means when said input means is actuated; and second pressure transmission control means responsive to the pressure of a hydraulic fluid supply to said servo means on the output side of the control valve for transmitting said control pressure to said brake means when said supply pressure is substantially lower than a normal supply pressure of the hydraulic fluid source.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
63 words
A hydraulic power system as claimed in claim 1, wherein said first pressure transmission control means comprises a first directional control valve interlocked with said input means of said servo means, and said second pressure transmission control means comprises a second directional control valve connected in parallel with said first directional control valve and actuated by said supply pressure to said servo means.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
75 words
A hydraulic power system as claimed in claim 2, further comprising line means for transmitting said control pressure therethrough to said brake means, and a shuttle valve connected to said line means for selecting, as said control pressure a higher pressure of the pressures from said first and second directional control valves, and said first and second directional control valves allow said line means to be communicated with a drain when they are not actuated.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
