About this work

Model of a simple hydraulic press on a wooden baseboard. On one side stands a hand-operated pump, equipped with a pump arm, regulator, overflow and safety valve. The pump arm can be set in two positions. The regulator is a screw valve. The safety valve is adjusted with a weight. A pipe for the fluid runs from the pump to the bottom of the press, where an oval press platform is pushed upwards.
