Abstract

Abstract Centrifugal impact crusher machines have a rotating impeller table on which are mounted table liners and shoes for directing rock, or other material to be crushed, dispersed by a centrally mounted feed cone positioned on the rotating table outwardly against stationary anvils. The herein disclosed machine is comprised of impeller shoes which are removably attached to table mounted brackets by means of pins for facilitating quick easy removal and which have tapered working faces for promoting even wear and longer life. The impeller table liners are portioned respectively into first segments, which are positioned beneath and forwardly adjacent to their associated shoes and held down by the weight thereof, and second segments having lips which are arranged for fitting under the table feed cone, thus permitting these former segments to be replaced without need for replacement of the latter segments and both segments to be removed quickly. The second table liner segments include inclined ramp portions located adjacent to the leading edge of the first segments for directing the rock upwardly from the table face into the faces of the shoes thereby lessening wear of the uncovered portions of the first segments and increasing the efficiency of the shoes.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim 217 words
In a rock crusher of the centrifugal impact type having an impeller table rotating about a vertical axis for receiving rock on a centerally located feed cone and throwing the rock outwardly against a plurality of anvil surfaces, the rock crusher having at least two wear resistant impeller table liners removably mounted to the upper surface of the impeller table, and having one impeller shoe for each impeller table liner mounted to the impeller table above the impeller table liners for directing the rock radially outwardly, the improvement comprising: a. each impeller table liner being divided into a first segment and a second segment, and securing means for securing both of said segments to said impeller table, allowing replacement of the first segment without removal of the second segment, b. said first segment configured for being located under and forwardly adjacent to its associated impeller shoe and being further secured to the impeller table thereby, and c. a projection integrally joined to the edge of each first segment, and a tab integrally joined to the edge of the second segment, said projection and said tab being adapted for engagement, with said projection overlying said tab, when said segments are installed on said impeller table, so that said first segment hold said second segment on said impeller table.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 217 words
In a rock crusher of the centrifugal impact type having an impeller table rotating about a vertical axis for receiving rock on a centerally located feed cone and throwing the rock outwardly against a plurality of anvil surfaces, the rock crusher having at least two wear resistant impeller table liners removably mounted to the upper surface of the impeller table, and having one impeller shoe for each impeller table liner mounted to the impeller table above the impeller table liners for directing the rock radially outwardly, the improvement comprising: a. each impeller table liner being divided into a first segment and a second segment, and securing means for securing both of said segments to said impeller table, allowing replacement of the first segment without removal of the second segment, b. said first segment configured for being located under and forwardly adjacent to its associated impeller shoe and being further secured to the impeller table thereby, and c. a projection integrally joined to the edge of each first segment, and a tab integrally joined to the edge of the second segment, said projection and said tab being adapted for engagement, with said projection overlying said tab, when said segments are installed on said impeller table, so that said first segment hold said second segment on said impeller table.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 55 words
The rock crusher of claim 1 including lips located along the radially inward margins of said second segments of said impeller table liners, said lips arranged for being engaged by said feed cone, when said feed cone is positioned on said impeller table, in a manner for preventing radially outward displacement of said second segments.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 44 words
The rock crusher of claim 1 wherein said securing means comprises pins depending from both segments of said impeller table liners, and said impeller table having conforming openings for receiving said pins, thereby preventing circumferential displacement of said impeller table liners on said table.
