Abstract: 29,449. Westinghouse, G. Feb. 21, [Convention date]. [Addition to 21,558/10.] Single-acting buclcet pumps.-Relates to hydropneumatic cushioning apparatus of the type described in the parent Specification in which an upper chamber containing compressed air terminates in a piston-head which works in a second cylinder telescoping with respect to the first and containing oil, and which contains a valve providing communication between the liquid cylinder and the compressed-air chamber, and serving to operate a pump for returning oil that leaks past the piston packing to the oil reservoir. According to the present invention, the delivery stroke of the pump occurs when the telescoping parts move away from each other. As in the parent Specification, the oil that leaks past the packing-ring 14 is received in a chamber 23, and is returned to the liquid chamber by means of a hollow pump plunger 26 acting in conjunction with a suction valve 31 and a delivery valve 27. In the present arrangement, the suction stroke of the pump occurs when the cylinder 3 moves into the cylinder 1 owing to the oil, which in passing through a channel 55 acts upon a disk 35 loosely mounted on the pump plunger and causes the disk to contact with a collar 33 to raise the plunger. When the cylinder 3 moves out of the cylinder 1, the disk 35 is pressed against the collar 34, and the oil withdrawn from the chamber 23 is then delivered through the valve 27 and the hollow plunger 26 into the liquid chamber.
