Abstract

A system that can recover flows of a hydraulic pressure fluid returned from a plurality of hydraulic actuators is disclosed which includes a plurality of fluid recovery circuits (15, 19, 25 and 27) into which flows of a hydraulic pressure fluid returned from such a plurality of actuators are admitted, and a main fluid recovery circuit (36). There is provided a selector means (30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 37) for permitting at least one of the plural fluid recovery circuits (15, 19, 25 and 27) selectively to communicate with the main fluid recovery circuit (36). The system, by permitting at least one of a plurality of fluid recovery circuits to communicate with a main fluid recovery circuit, enables a hydraulic return pressure fluid from at least one of a plurality of actuators to be recovered and hence is applicable to a working machine involving a plurality of hydraulic actuators.
