Abstract (en)

[origin: WO02075161A1] Hydropneumatic accumulator comprising an accumulator housing (1) and a diaphragm (3) located therein, which forms a displaceable partition element between a first chamber, in particular a gas chamber (7) and a second chamber, in particular a liquid chamber (5). Said membrane has several annular regions (31, 33, 35, 37, 39), interconnected by annular weak points (61, 63, 65, 67, 69, 71). The annular regions (31, 33, 35, 37, 39) have protuberances (81, 83, 85, 87, 89) on the interior face of the membrane (3) facing away from the wall of the accumulator housing (1). Said protuberances are at their thickest in the central region between neighbouring weak points, thus increasing the wall thickness of the membrane (3) and are at least partially convex (91, 93), tapering off to a respective flat form towards the weak points.
