The invention relates to a two-compartment reservoir for liquid, comprised of two superposed parts and provided with a transfer channel which opens into both compartments and which runs parallel to the plane of the liquid contained in the reservoir. The junction plane of the two parts of the reservoir is inclined, with respect to the bottom of each of them, at an angle ".alpha./2", which permits to manufacture with the same parts two types of reservoirs: the first one for horizontal installation and the other one for inclined installation, at an angle ".alpha.". Suitable grooves, provided in the walls, of the two parts cooperate in both cases to form the transfer channel parallel to the plane of liquid. The invention is particularly useful in hydraulic braking systems for automotive vehicles.
A master cylinder reservoir for use in an automotive vehicle includes a main body, a reserving chamber formed in the main body for storing operating fluid, a pouring opening provided at one end of the upper portion of the main body to permit introduction of the operating fluid into the reserving chamber, and a blocking device provided in the main body for preventing a leakage of the operating fluid outside the main body via the pouring opening.
The present invention relates to a rotary tank system to be provided inside a fuel tank for vehicles such as automobiles which is characterized in that it basically comprises two parts that are made of a material that can be hot-welded together, and at least a portion each of the contact faces between the first and the second halves of the tank is heated to molten state and subsequently abutted against each other in order to weld the two halves into an integral member.
A fluid reservoir for use with a tandem master cylinder is divided into two compartments by a partition wall with one of the two compartments being directly connected to a first outlet port connected to the master cylinder and the other of the two compartments being connected to a second outlet port connected to the master cylinder disposed in the one of the two compartments by a channel formed within the reservoir extending from the other of the two compartments through the partition wall to the second outlet port. This construction ensures the freest possible arrangement of the first and second ports at the bottom of the reservoir.
A suction container for two hydraulic circuits, particularly for a steering circuit and a control circuit has a housing lower portion closed with a cover. A suction tube is inserted into the housing lower portion, which tube is connected to a first consumer line. The container also includes connections which are in communication with a second consumer line and with a fluid supply container. During operation the suction container is under predetermined pressure. A filter device is disposed in the cover before the connection to the second consumer line. A pressure-limiting valve and a reverse valve openable into the container housing are also mounted in the cover.
A plastic vessel for a pressurized fluid, having an upper end wall and a lower end wall and an intermediate part with an outer wall and internal partition walls. The internal partition walls are placed in such a way in respect of each other and the outer wall that at least two longitudinal compartments for pressurized fluid are formed, which compartments are communicating with each other and run between the end walls. The vessel is non-circular. The outer wall between each pair of partition walls has a curve, with a radius adapted in such a manner that the tensions arising in the outer wall when the vessel is filled with a pressurized fluid will mainly be transformed solely to tensile stress in the partition walls which are joined to the outer wall. The partition walls are joined to the outer wall in the border lines where two such curves meet.
