Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim 165 words
An impact crusher comprising: a stationary casing having a geneally upright cylindrical bowl; a rotatable beater assembly located within said bowl, said beater assembly including a plurality of substantially horizontal radially extending elongate blades rotatable about a vertical axis; carrier means pivotally supporting said beater assembly; and a material feed assembly located above said beater assembly and coaxial with the pivotal axis of said beater assembly, said feed assembly including a vertical duct having means at the upper end thereof for infeed of material, a rotatable housing encompassing the lower outlet end of said duct, said housing having a plurality of open-ended radially outwardly extending passages for ejecting material therefrom toward the inner annular surface of said bowl, said feed assembly housing including two spaced radially extending plates and a plurality of radially extending vanes interconnecting said plates and defining said passages therewith, said vanes including a series of transversely extending strips thereon, said strips being spaced apart along the length of each said vane.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 165 words
An impact crusher comprising: a stationary casing having a geneally upright cylindrical bowl; a rotatable beater assembly located within said bowl, said beater assembly including a plurality of substantially horizontal radially extending elongate blades rotatable about a vertical axis; carrier means pivotally supporting said beater assembly; and a material feed assembly located above said beater assembly and coaxial with the pivotal axis of said beater assembly, said feed assembly including a vertical duct having means at the upper end thereof for infeed of material, a rotatable housing encompassing the lower outlet end of said duct, said housing having a plurality of open-ended radially outwardly extending passages for ejecting material therefrom toward the inner annular surface of said bowl, said feed assembly housing including two spaced radially extending plates and a plurality of radially extending vanes interconnecting said plates and defining said passages therewith, said vanes including a series of transversely extending strips thereon, said strips being spaced apart along the length of each said vane.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 22 words
An impact crusher as claimed in claim 1 wherein said strips are positioned adjacent the leading side of each of said vanes.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 22 words
An impact crusher as claimed in claim 2, said strips being each inclined toward the central axis of rotation of said housing.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 20 words
An impact crusher as claimed in claim 1, said feed assembly housing being rotatable in unison with said beater assembly.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 141 words
An impact crusher comprising: a stationary casing having a generally upright cylindrical bowl; a rotatable beater assembly located within said bowl, said beater assembly including a plurality of substantially horizontal radially extending elongate blades rotatable about a vertical axis; carrier means pivotally supporting said beater assembly; and a material feed assembly located above said beater assembly and coaxial with the pivotal axis of said beater assembly, said feed assembly including a vertical duct having means at the upper end thereof for infeed of material, a rotatable housing encompassing the lower outlet end of said duct, said housing having a plurality of open-ended radially outwardly extending passages for ejecting material therefrom toward the inner annular surface of said bowl, and a vertically extending short cylindrical duct portion secured to said rotatable housing and communicating with the radially inner ends of said passages.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 141 words
An impact crusher comprising: a stationary casing having a generally upright cylindrical bowl; a rotatable beater assembly located within said bowl, said beater assembly including a plurality of substantially horizontal radially extending elongate blades rotatable about a vertical axis; carrier means pivotally supporting said beater assembly; and a material feed assembly located above said beater assembly and coaxial with the pivotal axis of said beater assembly, said feed assembly including a vertical duct having means at the upper end thereof for infeed of material, a rotatable housing encompassing the lower outlet end of said duct, said housing having a plurality of open-ended radially outwardly extending passages for ejecting material therefrom toward the inner annular surface of said bowl, and a vertically extending short cylindrical duct portion secured to said rotatable housing and communicating with the radially inner ends of said passages.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 20 words
An impact crusher as claimed in claim 5, said feed assembly housing being rotatable in unison with said beater assembly.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim 157 words
An impact crusher comprising: a stationary casing having a generally upright cylindrical bowl; a rotatable beater assembly located within said bowl, said beater assembly including a plurality of substantially horizontal radially extending elongate blades rotatable about a vertical axis; carrier means pivotally supporting said beater assembly; and a material feed assembly located above said beater assembly and coaxial with the pivotal axis of said beater assembly, said feed assembly including a vertical duct having means at the upper end thereof for infeed of material, a rotatable housing encompassinG the lower outlet end of said duct, said housing having a plurality of open-ended radially outwardly extending passages for ejecting material therefrom toward the inner annular surface of said bowl, and hard-wearing liners located within said bowl and annularly encompassing said beater blades and said feed assembly, said hard-wearing liners being one-piece elements which are continuous in height throughout the height of said beater blades and said feed assembly.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim 157 words
