CUTTER BLADE HOLDER FOR TRITURATORS 7 Filed June 6, 1939 Patented Mar. 31, 1942 CUTTER. BLADE HOLDER FOR TRITURATORS Arthur C. Lind, Milwaukee, Wis., assignor to Chain Belt Company, Milwaukee, Wis., a cornotation of Wisconsin Application June 6, 1939, Serial No. 277,705
6 Claims.
This invention relates to a cutting blade and holder therefor adapted to be used, with a rotary cutter or triturator of the type shown in U. S. Patent 2,122,965, issued July 5, 1938, on an application filed by Eskil W. Swenson, and U. S. Patent 2,131,689, issued September 27, 1938, on an application filed by William B. Marshall.
The triturating apparatus disclosed in each of the said patents includes a rotor composed of a plurality of discs mounted on a rotating shaft, each disc carrying a number of circumferentially spaced cutter blades which co-cperate with grid members to shred and shear soft solids and semi solids contained in refuse or other matter. As described in said patents, the disc members have medially located circumferential grooves aligned with ribs on the grid members, and the cutter blades carried by the discs extend beyond the periphery of the latter to be accommodated in corresponding grooves in the grids. is retained by a set screw, the head of which is contained in a recessed portion of the disc body removed from the cutter blade, while the blade itself is cut away at the point the screw engages it to prevent the blade from being displaced should the screw become loosened.
It is an object of the present invention to provide an improved form of cutter blade and holder which, when used in machines of this type will more effectively prevent the bladesfrom becoming disengaged during the high speeds at which the machines are operated.
A further object of the invention is to provide a single blade holder which will securely look a plurality of cutter blades in their desired posi- 5 tion, said holder not only preventing the blades from being displaced radially by centrifugal force, but also laterally along the axis of rotation. Another object of the invention is to provide a blade holder for the purposes described which may be readily removed from the disc body when the blades require replacement or re-grinding.
With the above and other objects in view which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention consists in the novel details of construction and combinations of parts, as hereinafter described and particularly pointed out in the appended claims.
Reference is now made to the accompanying drawing, in which like reference characters designate like parts throughout, and in which:
Figure l is a transverse sectional view of a triturator of the type above mentioned, showing the position of the cutter members with respect to the rotor and the shredder grates;
Each blade iii Fig. 2 is an enlarged fragmentary elevational View, partly in section, of the rotor shown in Fig. l, as viewed from the left of said figure;
Fig. 3 is an enlarged detail sectional view through one of the blade holders and a portion of a rotor disc;
Fig. 4 is a plan View of a cutter blade holder;
Fig. 5 is a side elevational view of the cutter blade holder illustrated in Fig. 4; and
Fig. 6 is a perspective view of one of the cutter blades made in accordance with this invention.
Referring more particularly to Figs. 1 and 2 the triturating apparatus includes a rotor comprising a plurality of discs Ill keyed to a shaft H between end plates l2 and having spacing plates 13 interposed between adjacent discs. Each disc H3 has a medial circumferential groove 14 in its periphery, which grooves upon assembly align with complementary ribs I5 formed on the curved lower portions of the grid members H3,
an axial direction, and their forward wall 23,
considered with respect to the normal direction of rotation of the rotor, is preferably approximately radial as regards the rotor axis. The
Two cutter blades 2| are mounted in axially spaced relation in each recess, with their rear faces abutting the rear wall of the recess, and
are effectively retained in place by the holders- 22. As will be clear from Fig. 4, these holders are generally rectangular in plan, although the forward corners may be beveled, as indicated at 30, to limit the area of contact between the front face 3| and the front wall 23 of the recess 28. The said front face 3! of the holder is inclined complementarily to the wall 23, as clearly shown in Figs. 3 and 5, to provide a wedging action as the holder is seated which causes it to force the rear face 45 of the cutters 2| tightly against the rear wall 25 of recess 20, as will be readily understood. The rear face 32 of the holder is also slightly inclined or tapered in a direction opposite to that of face 3|, while the front face 46 of the cutters 2| is complementarily inclined or tapered, thus securing a further wedging action between the holder and cutters themselves. Since the cutters taper outwardly from their base to the cutting end, they will be prevented from flying out of the recesses under the action of centrifugal force even though the holder should become slightly loosened in the recess.
The holders 22 are provided with a bore 33 which is threaded for engagement with the threaded stem of a removing implement or tool, not shown. The holders are further counterbored, as at 32, and securing screws or bolts 35, of smaller diameter than the bore 33 so as not to engage the threads thereof, pass through the said bores and are threaded into apertures 35 in the disc Ill, as clearly illustrated in Fig. 3. The enlarged heads 3? of the screws 35 occupy the counterbores 3 and are preferably flush with the outer face of the holders 22; and lock washers 38 may be interposed between the said heads and the shoulders formed by the bottom of the counterbores 34. The said heads may also be provided with sockets 39 or other suitable means for the reception of a wrench or tool whereby the screws may be entered into and removed from the holes 36.
The holders 22 are further provided with a medial lug or projection Ali] extending rearwardly from the rear face 32, and in the assembled position these projections align with the grooves M of the rotor discs Ill, extending between the pair of cutters 2| and, in conjunction with the end faces of the spacing plates l3, preventing axial displacement of the cutters. The said projections are of such length as to leave a clearance 4| between their rear faces and the rear wall 25 of the recesses 2|], thereby insuring forcible contact between the rear face 32 of the holders and the front face 46 of the cutters, and between the rear face 45 of the cutters and the rear wall 25 of the recesses.
The outer peripheries of the rotor discs H] are preferably milled off in advance of each recess 20 to a plane tangent to the bottom of the grooves Hi to provide flat surfaces 43 flush with the outer surfaces of the holders 22.
With the construction above described, as the screws 35 are tightened, the holders 22 are drawn into the recesses 29, with their inclined forward faces 3| engaging the inclined forward walls 23 of the recesses, thus wedging the cutters 2| between the oppositely inclined rear faces 32 of the holders and the rear walls 25 of the recesses, whereby the cutters are securely held in their desired positions. It will be noted that the holders 22 are free to move rearwardly under the wedging action of the faces 3| and 23, due
to the stems and heads of the screws 35 being of smaller diameter than the bores 33 and counterbores 32 respectively of the holders. The spacing plates l3, or the end plates l2, together with the projections 4e prevent axial movement of the cutter blades.
It should be observed that the taper on the face 32 of the holder and on the face 45 of the blade need be relatively slight, say from 1 to 3", to prevent displacement of the parts relative to each other, whereas the taper of the forward face 3| of the holder and of the forward wall 23 0f the recess is considerably greater, in order that positive forcing action may be applied to lock the blades against the rearrecess wall 25 contacting the rearward face of the blades. By cutting away the end portions of the face 3| at at 30, substantially three point contact is maintained against the disc, insuring equal pressure on both blades while retained in locked position.
To remove the cutter blades 2|, the screw 35 is first withdrawn and a threaded tool is then inserted in the counterbore 34 and engaged with the threaded bore 33. When firm engagement is secured, the holder 22 may be readily withdrawn from the recess 22 and the cutter blades removed for grinding or renewal.
While one form of the invention has been illustrated and described it is obvious that those skilled in the art may vary the details of constructionas well as the precise arrangement of parts without departing from the spirit of the invention and therefore it is not wished to be limited to the above disclosure except as may be required by the claims.
