Patent ID: 8424658

Claim:
An apparatus for an impact dispersal system, said apparatus comprising: a cylinder having a cylinder piston and a first fluid chamber configured to receive a fluid that is a liquid, said cylinder having an impact receiving portion and a support portion with said cylinder piston therebetween, said impact receiving portion configured to receive an impact relative to said support portion, said impact causing a pressure of said fluid to increase; a supply tank configured to hold a quantity of said fluid under pressure, said supply tank having an outlet; a catch tank having an inlet configured to receive said fluid from said first fluid chamber; a first valve having an actuating port, an inlet port, and an outlet port, said actuating port of said first valve in fluid communication with an independent fluid system, said independent fluid system providing a high pressure signal to actuate said first valve, said inlet port of said first valve in fluid communication with said supply tank, said outlet port of said first valve in fluid communication with said first fluid chamber through a check valve, said check valve allowing said fluid to flow to said first fluid chamber and preventing said fluid from flowing from said first fluid chamber to said outlet port of said first valve, wherein said outlet port of said first valve is in fluid communication with said inlet port of said first valve when said actuating port receives said high pressure signal, and said outlet port of said first valve is isolated from said inlet port in the absence of said high pressure signal; and a second valve having an inlet port and an outlet port, said inlet port of said second valve in fluid communication with said first fluid chamber, said outlet port of said second valve in communication with said catch tank, said second valve operable such that said outlet port of said second valve is in fluid communication with said inlet port of said second valve when said inlet port of said second valve reaches a specified pressure.
