Abstract (en)
[origin: WO9921761A1] An automatic fluid container (10) refill device. Pressure container (12) is charged with a pressurizing gas and fluid. A hydraulic cylinder (26) with an interior volume and having piston (30) located therein with an attached drive shaft (32) that extends out of the hydraulic cylinder (26) is provided. Drive shaft (32) has gear rack (40) located thereon. Hydraulic cylinder (26) has hydraulic fluid inlets (28, 36) provided at first and second ends thereof. Fluid conduit (24) connects between pressure container (12) and first hydraulic fluid inlet (28). A valve (44) has a fluid inlet (46) and outlet (48). Geared sprocket (42) is mounted on valve (44) and is operable for opening and closing valve (44). Gear rack (40) on drive shaft (32) is engaged with and operates geared sprocket (42). Fluid supply pipe (50) is connected to fluid inlet (46) and carries fluid from a source of fluid through valve (44). Fluid junction (38) is in fluid communication with fluid outlet (48) of valve (44). Second fluid tube (34) connects fluid junction (38) and a second hydraulic fluid inlet (36). Fluid fill tube (56) connects fluid junction (38) to a fluid container (58) to be filled.
