Abstract
Abstract An improved impeller and replaceable impeller wear parts for a rock crusher having a turntable driven by a vertical drive shaft. The impeller assembly consists of wear pins, wear plates, and block members and heel plates which are mounted on a removable tray which may be lifted from the turntable as a unit without removing the heavy turntable from the drive shaft. Interchangeable wear pins and wear plates are quickly and easily relocated within the impeller assembly or replaced. The wear pins are characterized by double lugs in the top and bottom of projections in a generally cylindrical metal pin which interlock with cutouts in the wear plates.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
182 words
In a rock crusher having an impeller assembly formed with a circumference mounted on a turntable having a rim which is connected to and driven by a vertical drive shaft comprising: a. a plurality of replaceable metal wear pins mounted in said impeller assembly and each of said pins consists of a generally cylindrical portion formed with a projection extending therefrom and terminating in a generally planar end face and said pins terminate at both ends in generally planar end faces and each end of said projections is formed with a pair of spaced lug indents; and b. said wear pins are positioned on a peripheral outer band of said impeller in groups of three including a head pin and two heel pins wherein said projections form a T-shape having a stem and a cross with said stem of said T located on a radial line and said cross located adjacent said circumference of said impeller, said pin located on said radial line being designated as said head pin and said pins located on said cross being designated as said heel pins.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
182 words
In a rock crusher having an impeller assembly formed with a circumference mounted on a turntable having a rim which is connected to and driven by a vertical drive shaft comprising: a. a plurality of replaceable metal wear pins mounted in said impeller assembly and each of said pins consists of a generally cylindrical portion formed with a projection extending therefrom and terminating in a generally planar end face and said pins terminate at both ends in generally planar end faces and each end of said projections is formed with a pair of spaced lug indents; and b. said wear pins are positioned on a peripheral outer band of said impeller in groups of three including a head pin and two heel pins wherein said projections form a T-shape having a stem and a cross with said stem of said T located on a radial line and said cross located adjacent said circumference of said impeller, said pin located on said radial line being designated as said head pin and said pins located on said cross being designated as said heel pins.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
166 words
In a rock crusher described in claim 1 comprising: a. an annular impeller tray detachably mounted on said turntable; b. a plurality of T-shaped block members connected to said impeller tray in registration with said planar end faces of said projections on said wear pins; c. a landing cone detachably mounted on said turntable covering the center of said turntable; d. a plurality of upper and lower wear plates with said lower wear plates dimensioned to substantially form an annular ring having segmented rims surrounding said landing cone and covering said annular impeller tray except for said portions covered by said T-shaped block members and said wear pins; e. each of said wear plates are formed with a pair of spaced head pin lug engaging areas and a pair of spaced heel pin lug engaging areas; f. an annular top cover detachably connected to each of said T-shaped block members; and g. means for detachably connecting said top cover and said impeller tray to said turntable.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
24 words
In a rock crusher as described in claim 2 comprising: a. a metal abrasive resistant heel plate detachably connected to said T-shaped block member.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
42 words
In a rock crusher as described in claim 3 comprising: a. an annular ring connected to said rim of said turntable and projecting upwardly therefrom for retaining said impeller tray and a portion of said segmented rims of said bottom wear plates.
