Automated work station

A hydraulic fuse monitors the quantity of hydraulic fluid passing through the fuse, and then blocks such flow when a selected quantity of fluid has passed through the fuse. It includes:

Hydraulic fuse

A device to provide for mechanical motion between a locking element in a hydraulic actuator to an external indication device, comprises:

Device to transfer mechanical motion across fluid barrier

A mechanical locking device includes multiple components that must move before axial travel of a load exerting component becomes unblocked. Such elements include a main lock means that is radially movable to unblock said axial travel; axially movable holder means that blocks radial movement of the main lock means; radially movable trigger means that blocks axial movement of the holder means; and release structure blocking radial movement of the trigger means. At least one and preferably both of the main lock means and of the trigger means comprises multiple elements spaced apart about the device axis for independent radial movement, such elements typically being caged for such independent movement.
