To all 'uf/1.0m itmay/ concern Be it known that I, JOSEPH EL KENNEDY,

a ciiizenoi the United States, residing in the borough of liliinhattan,city, county, and. State of' New York, have invented certain. new and useful Improvements. in`Crushing and Pulverizing Machines, of which the fol-y lowing is a specification. i

My iniprovemcnts relate toA crushing and pulverizing mechanism of the gyratoryvtype, and are designed 'to afford .u ,substantial compact structure of relativelylightweight, in which the shaft is suspended at its upper vend upon an adjustable bearing, and in "of a.' truncated conical Y idly secured to thc'shuft A, and gyriiti'ng 5(tation.

' in general operation :ind arrangement of 'iai-ts my apparatus is 'essentially the,A same :is others of the riitoryclass, consisting erushing'head a, rigi'n an oppositely; inclined convex crushing chamber b, from which therediiced mate-A r lriti-escapes into the 'chute chamber c.

v1, is. an annuler. shouldeivor collar keyed or otherwise rigidly secured to thenuppcr end of the vshaft A.

-' turn upon :in iidjustable supportl, mounted iii theuipper frame plate (l. 'Obviously the moet expedient way of 'milking the iSuppor 5i, adjustable is to forni it with a pcriphcmil inzilc screw for en isugciiient with n female screw thread on the upper frame pint-e al, or on the sleeve al', inserted in the izitlcif :is ,shown in the drawings-,-although l do ,not limit myself in this particiiliirfthe essential feiiturc in` this respect being the. provision cf suitable means for effect ii* the vertical adjustment or' the annular hearing The lower portion :clr'l in l e? the vi-entric nimmer, om, gil, et

centric bearing itself is of special construction. Peripherallv as related to its axes of rotation it is of convex form, formly curved in the' are of a circle, and is seated in n correspondingly curved concavity l6, inthe sleeve'7, to which the drivf inmgear 8, is secured. The principle involvedis that of the ball the change in inclination of the longitudinal'axisof the shaft wit-hin the pre-v scribed or desired limits of adjustment'nie,

so slight that it' isnot necessary iii-practicel fivliich' 7D to rcsoitto the spheroidzil form,- would be objectionable on account l space involved. While thus freotoidupt itself to the inclination o tlie'shzift A, the eccentric bearing 5, is held against lu eral movement in its sent 6, by onci'irinorc keys 75 9, or'equivalcnt mechanical expedients, by which 'it is coupled to the sleeve 7, so as toi rotate therewith while free to adept itself axially with relation to Vthe longitudinal axis of the shaft.

Thedriving gea-r 8, is rotated by iiieuns of vthe pinion p, .upon tli'e power', shaft I; andthe 'iippiirutlis is provided with thc usuiil' dust guards, &c.`

The sleeve 7, is made in two or more parts v vto admit of the seating vof thc .lixiii-llycon- Vex eccentric bearing 5, the ports of the" sleeve lieing rigidly secured together, und 1 to theV driving gear 8. The essential fentiire being .the axiiil' centric bearing :3, with relation to its seat 6,

7, it is obvious that viii'ious modifications ma'y be resorted to-without departing from the spirit and intent of my v invention in this respect. '.llius by way of' 95 illustration, in Fig. 3, the use of keys isA dispensed ,'with by making .the eccentric hearing with recesses 10, into which lit ribsl 1l, in the sont (i, sotliat the sleeve and cccenti'ic .beui'ing the eccentric hearing is free to 'iidupt itself to tlieincliiizition'of the shaft. It will thus be seen that :i distinguishing characteristic.'

. of my invention consists .in milking the'eceen ric beoringfor the lower end of the 105 shaft rotatable with the sleeve in whichl it is mountedl by means whichallow Suid ec`- centi-ic bearing-t0 adapt itself freely to varif ations ininclination of saidjs'haft. l
