ABSTRACT:
A sleeve-type bladder accumulator having an outer generally cylindrical body, an apertured cylindrical stop tube concentrically disposed within the cylindrical body, an elastic tubular bladder sleeve partially enveloping the stop tube with each end of the sleeve being anchored by sandwiching between a bladder retainer carried on the adjacent end of the stop tube and the end cap fixed to the adjacent end of the cylindrical body, a clamping spring nested within the bore of one end of the stop tube and a spring socket formed by the adjacent bladder retainer to exert a force upon the stop tube tending to move the stop tube away from the adjacent bladder retainer to secure a pair of split shear rings which lock each end of the cylindrical body to its adjacent end cap, and sealing means made more secure by the force generated by the clamping spring.
