Abstract
Abstract An improvement in briquetting presses and the like comprises a wear ring, a press cone, an end tube and a press cylinder which is diametrically slotted and encloses the press cone and the end tube, said parts being secured to a machine frame. To facilitate the dismounting of the abovementioned parts the press cylinder is suspended in a pair of brackets which project from the machine frame in such a way that the press cylinder together with the press cone and the end tube is displaceable away from the machine frame and after such displacement is rotatable on an axis which is substantially perpendicular to the central axis of the press cone and the end tube. A hydraulic jack associated with the press and designed to cooperate with the press cylinder comprises a yoke and a bail which together enclose the press cylinder at the compression of its two slots. To permit the jack to be utilized for pressing out the press cone and the end tube of the press cylinder, the yoke and the bail are rotatable at least about 90° mutually on an axis which at the compression of the slots is located substantially in one of the diametral planes of the press cylinder, and in addition hereto the jack is provided with engagement means cooperating with abutment or holding on means which are provided on the press cylinder.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim
80 words
A briquetting press comprising a machine frame, a wear ring, a press cone, an end tube and a press cylinder surrounding the press cone, fastening means for securing the end tube to said machine frame substantially co-axially therewith, wherein the press comprises suspension means including a pair of brackets projecting from the machine frame, the press cylinder being suspended so that said press cylinder is displaceable away from the machine frame together with the press cone and the end tube.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
80 words
A briquetting press comprising a machine frame, a wear ring, a press cone, an end tube and a press cylinder surrounding the press cone, fastening means for securing the end tube to said machine frame substantially co-axially therewith, wherein the press comprises suspension means including a pair of brackets projecting from the machine frame, the press cylinder being suspended so that said press cylinder is displaceable away from the machine frame together with the press cone and the end tube.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
44 words
The briquetting press according to claim 1, wherein said press cylinder, after said press cylinder's displacement away from the machine frame, is rotatable about 90° on an axis which is substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the press cone and the end tube.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
31 words
The briquetting press according to claim 2, wherein said brackets have a pair of elongated openings in which a pair of bolts or studs projecting from the press cylinder are engaged.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
124 words
The briquetting press according to claim 2, wherein the press cylinder and the end tube at their respective ends remote from the machine frame are each provided with a pair of radially extending through slots located substantially in a common diametral plane, and further comprising pushing means for compressing said slots, characterized by abutment means provided on the circumferential surface of said press cylinder for absorbing forces directed substantially in the axial direction of the press cylinder, said pushing means being engageable with said abutment means for pressing the press cone and the end tube out of the press cylinder through the end of the press cylinder remote from the slots after rotation of the press cylinder on the press cylinder's axis of rotation.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
39 words
The briquetting press according to claim 4, wherein said abutment means are a pair of dead end holes provided substantially diametrically with respect to the longitudinal axis of the press cylinder in the circumferential surface of the press cylinder.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
42 words
The briquetting press according to claim 4, wherein said abutment means are a pair of mutually coaxial studs which project from the circumferential surface of the press cylinder and are diametrically located with respect to the longitudinal axis of the press cylinder.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
26 words
The briquetting press according to claim 5, wherein said dead end holes are located in another diametral plane than are the slots of the press cylinder.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
135 words
Pushing means particularly for cooperation with briquetting presses of the type including a press cylinder having two substantially diametrically located compressable slots, said pushing means comprising a yoke and a bail, which together enclose said press cylinder upon the compression of said two slots, and a press block associated with the bail and being abuttable against that portion of the press cylinder which at the compression of the slots is located on the opposite side of the slots with respect to the yoke, wherein said yoke and said bail are mutually rotatable at least about 90° on an axis which, at the compression of the slots, is located substantially in one of the diametral planes of the press cylinder, said pushing means including engagement means for engaging said abutment means provided on said press cylinder.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
135 words
Pushing means particularly for cooperation with briquetting presses of the type including a press cylinder having two substantially diametrically located compressable slots, said pushing means comprising a yoke and a bail, which together enclose said press cylinder upon the compression of said two slots, and a press block associated with the bail and being abuttable against that portion of the press cylinder which at the compression of the slots is located on the opposite side of the slots with respect to the yoke, wherein said yoke and said bail are mutually rotatable at least about 90° on an axis which, at the compression of the slots, is located substantially in one of the diametral planes of the press cylinder, said pushing means including engagement means for engaging said abutment means provided on said press cylinder.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
51 words
Pusher means according to claim 8, wherein said bail is pivotably connected to said yoke by tubular pins, said engagement means comprising a pair of studs and a pair of dead end holes in the circumferential surface of said press cylinder, said tubular pins being insertable in said dead end holes.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
57 words
Pusher means according to claim 8, wherein said press block is provided with a concave end surface with substantially the same curvature as the circumferential surface of said press cylinder, said concave end surface being interchangeably positioned against a press block having an end surface specially designed for abutment against the end surface of said end tube.
