PROCÉDÉ SERVANT À FAIRE FONCTIONNER UN APPAREIL PORTATIF À FONCTIONNEMENT HYDRAULIQUE, AINSI QU'APPAREIL PORTATIF À FONCTIONNEMENT HYDRAULIQUE

摘要

A hydraulically operated handheld device and a method of operating same are provided. The device includes a hydraulic pump, a moving part, a fixed part and a return valve with an associated valve seat. The moving part is moved into a working position due to the buildup of a hydraulic pressure by filling a hydraulic chamber with hydraulic medium from a reservoir with the aid of the hydraulic pump. The moving part can be automatically moved back from the working position into an end position upon reaching a predefined working pressure by opening the return valve. The hydraulic pressure acting upon the return valve is increased by a separately triggerable pressure increase, which results in opening of the return valve, in a hydraulic medium volume located upstream of the return valve in a flow direction of the hydraulic medium during the movement into the end position.
