A hydraulic accumulator including an energy storage apparatus with a first piston face configured to reversibly compress an energy storage medium and a second piston face forming at least part of an inner surface of a corresponding second fluid chamber reversibly expandable by movement of the second piston face. A third piston face forms at least part of an inner surface of a corresponding third fluid chamber reversibly expandable by the third piston face. The first, second and third piston faces are coupled together.

An apparatus including an accumulator and a drive mechanism. The accumulator includes an energy storage apparatus with a first piston face configured to reversibly compress an energy storage medium and a second piston face forming at least part of an inner surface of a corresponding second fluid chamber reversibly expandable by movement of the second piston face. A third piston face forms at least part of an inner surface of a corresponding third fluid chamber reversibly expandable by the third piston face. The first, second and third piston faces are coupled together.

A vibrating ripper for demolition comprising a chassis, a vibrating assembly supported by the chassis so that it can move with an alternating translational motion along a work direction between a first stroke limit position and a second stroke limit position, and at least one demolition tool associated with the vibrating assembly.

In the second stroke limit position, the vibrating assembly is spaced further from the chassis with respect to the first stroke limit position.

The vibrating assembly comprises a main body associated with at least one pair of oppositely rotating eccentric masses actuated rotationally by at least one motor element.

The particularity of the invention resides in that it comprises means for detecting an abnormal movement of the vibrating assembly along the work direction beyond at least one of the stroke limit positions.

The present invention relates to a hydraulic attachment comprising a hydraulic circuit, the attachment being a construction or demolition tool, in particular a hydraulic breaker, demolition shears, scrap shears, a pulverizer, a gripper, a crusher bucket or a compactor, which can be mechanically connected to a support device and hydraulically connected to the hydraulic system of the support device. In order to enable the hydraulic circuit to be opened quickly and safely within an attachment and, in particular, to make it possible to display the presence of a particular pressure level within a hydraulic attachment and to determine whether a dangerous residual pressure is present in the system, a hydraulic attachment is proposed that has a residual pressure display (40) which is connected to the hydraulic circuit of the attachment in a detachable or non-detachable manner.
