ABSTRACT:
Accumulators normally have a first chamber filled with a pressurized gas, a second chamber in communication with the pressurized fluid of a hydraulic system and an elastomeric member separating the chambers. In the subject invention, an accumulator is provided which has an elastomeric member disposed in a closed chamber of a housing. The elastomeric member has an outer surface with a non-uniform linear surface and a cavity extending inward from one end thereof and in communication with an inlet conduit. As the pressure is introduced into the cavity of the elastomeric member, the non-uniform linear outer surface is progressively forced against an interior surface of the closed chamber. The progressive compression of the elastomeric member acts to increase the volume of the cavity as the pressure of the fluid in the cavity progressively increases.
