A hydraulic accumulator comprises a pressure shell, a bladder, and a rod. The pressure shell is filament wound around a leak proof barrier/mold. The bladder is tubular and carried by the rod. The rod extends though the pressure shell and seals to the ends of the shell. The shell has generally frustoconical sections connecting the ends of the shell to mid section. The bladder is tubular and expandable. A first chamber having an annular cross section for gas is formed between the rod and the bladder. A second chamber having an annular cross section for liquid is formed between the bladder and the shell. A first flow passage is formed through an end seal means communicating with the first chamber. A second flow passage is formed though an end seal means communicating with the second chamber.

1. A hydraulic accumulator comprising a hollow pressure shell defined by a generally annular sidewall, said shell having a first end, a second end, and a longitudinal axis extending between the first end and the second end, said sidewall being generally symmetrical around the longitudinal axis, said first end being opposite from the second end,said sidewall havinga first generally cylindrical section positioned at the first end and defining a shell first end opening,a second generally cylindrical section positioned at the second end and defining a shell second end opening,and a third generally cylindrical mid section positioned between the first end and the second end, said mid section having a larger inside diameter than the first end section and the second end section,a first generally frustoconical section connecting the first end section to the mid section,and a second frustoconical section connecting the second end section to the mid section,said generally cylindrical sections having generally cylindrical inside and outside surfaces,and said generally frustoconical sections having generally frustoconical inside and outside surfaces,a rod positioned axially in the hollow pressure shell, said rod having a first end and a second end,a first end seal carried by the rod near the first end of the rod sealing the first end of the shell,a second end seal carried by the rod sealing the second end of the shell,a tubular expandable bladder having a first end and a second end mounted around the rod and extending from near the first end of the shell to near the second end of the shell, the first end of the bladder being sealingly attached to the rod near first end seal, the second end of the bladder being sealingly attached to the rod near the second end seal,a first chamber having an annular cross section for gas being formed between the rod and the bladder,a second chamber having an annular cross section for liquid being formed between the bladder and the shell,a first flow passage being formed through an end seal communicating with the first chamber,a second flow passage being formed though an end seal communicating with the second chamber. 2. A hydraulic accumulator as in claim 1, wherein the shell is constructed of filament windings embedded in a continuous plastic matrix. 3. A hydraulic accumulator as in claim 1, further comprising a liner positioned adjacent to the inside surface of the shell. 4. A hydraulic accumulator as in claim 1, wherein the rod has a head at the first end which forms an element of the first end seal for the shell and a threaded second end, a nut being positioned on the threaded second end forming an element of the second end seal for the shell. 5. A hydraulic accumulator as in claim 4 further comprising a first annular seal positioned between a generally cylindrical portion of the bolt head and the generally cylindrical inside surface at the first end of the shell, and a second annular seal positioned between a generally cylindrical portion of the bolt adjacent the threaded end section and a generally cylindrical inside portion of the nut, and a third annular seal positioned between a generally cylindrical outer surface of the nut and the generally cylindrical inside surface at the second end of the shell. 6. A hydraulic accumulator as in claim 5 wherein the annular seals are O-rings and the O-rings are positioned in annular grooves formed in generally cylindrical outside surfaces. 7. A hydraulic accumulator as in claim 1 wherein the shell has curved transitional sections at the ends of the frustoconical sections. 8. A hydraulic accumulator as in claim 7 further comprising a protective coating on an outer surface of the shell. 9. A hydraulic accumulator as in claim 1 further comprising annular bands securing the first and second ends of the bladder to the rod. 10. A hydraulic accumulator as in claim 1 wherein the first and second ends of the bladder are positioned in annular recesses in the rod.
