INVENTION TITLE: "A DRUM FOR A SOLID WASTE DIVERTER"
S
a. a a.
*aS The following statement is a full description of this invention, including the best method of performing it known to us: P:\OPER\RSH42383-99 divdoc-05109100 -2- The present application is a divisional of Application No. 42383/99 the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference. Application No. 42383/99 relates to a system for diverting and reducing the size of waste materials. The present invention particularly relates to a drum for a diverter unit suitable for use in such a system.
According to the present invention here is provided a drum for a solid waste diverter comprising; a helical coil and a support to mount said coil for rotation.
10 An embodiment of the invention will now be described by way of example only with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which: FIGURE 1 is a side view of a helical coil drum for a diverter unit; and FIGURE 2 is an end view of the drum.
The drum shown in Figures 1 and 2 is the same as that shown in Figures 7A and 7B of Application No. 42383/99 and reference should be made to the specification of that application for a detailed description of the environment into which the drum is mounted in preferred embodiments of the invention and also to its relationship with other components of the system disclosed in that application for diverting and reducing the size of waste materials.
20 The configuration illustrated in Figures 1 and 2 is centerless and employs a oooo continuous helical coil 500. This "slinky" type configuration provides for increased open area. Additionally the pitch of the helix may be varied to suite different flow considerations such that the drum coil can be individually tailored to specific dynamic conditions. The coil 500 is supported on four vertical supports 502. Shafts 504 and 506 are used to mount the diverter to the frame for rotation. Shaft 504 is splined or otherwise formed to accept a gear. A top frame member 508 couples the supports 502 to the shaft 504. Similarly, a frame 510 couples the supports 502 to the bottom shaft 506.
While four vertical supports are illustrated it is apparent that the number is not critical. Rather, so long as rigidity for the coil is established the supports may be placed in a geometric relationship. Each support 502 has a series of notches 503. The coil is held in P:\OPER\RSH\42383-99 div.doc-05/09/0O -3position by the notches at the proper spacing. The coil is typically stainless steel having sufficient strength and resiliency to mount on the supports 502 in tension. The diverter, thus constructed, is an integral unit mountable or removable as a whole.
The embodiment has been described by way of example only and modifications are possible within the scope of the invention.
Throughout this specification and claims which follow, unless the context requires otherwise, the word "comprise", and variations such as "comprises" or "comprising", will be understood to imply the inclusion of a stated integer or group of integers or steps but not the exclusion of any other integer or group of integers.
Claims (4)
1. A drum for a solid waste diverter comprising; a helical coil and a support to mount said coil for rotation.
2. The drum of claim 1 wherein said support comprises a series of vertically extending supports to maintain spacing of said helix, frame elements for mounting said supports in a regular spaced arrangement and a pair of stub shafts mounted to said frame 10 elements, whereby the interior of said helix is open to allow fluid to pass through.
3. The drum of claim 1 wherein said support has a series of spacer elements to maintain spacing between adjacent segments of said coil.
4. A drum substantially as hereinbefore described with reference to the drawings and/or Examples. DATED this 6 th day of September, 2000 CHAMBERS, BOYD, AND ASSOCIATES PARTNERSHIP by its Patent Attorneys DAVIES COLLISON CAVE t
