I W- WI GRUSHER.

Patented Feb. 6, 1894.

UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.-

WILLIAM wfsLY, or CLEVELAND, OHIO.

CRUSHER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 514,097, dated February 6, 1894. Application filed March 23, 1893. Serial No. 467,295. (No model.)

To whom it may concern:

'Be it known that I, WILLIAM W. SLY, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Cleveland, in the county of Ouyahoga and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Crushers, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to machines for crushing ore, cinders, &c., and consists in the new construction and combination substantially as hereinafter described and pointed out in the claims.

In the accompanying draWings:Figure 1 is a perspective view of my machine, having a head removed to show the interior construction. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section of the machine. Fig. 3 is a cross'section through middle of Fig. 2. Fig. 4 is a detached View of the rolling crusher. Fig. 5 is a view of the inside of one of the chambered heads.

A is a cylinder having an opening in one side for inserting the material to be crushed,

closed-by a strong door made as follows:

E is a strong frame riveted to the cylinder around the opening.

B is a frame hinged at the upper side of the frame B.

B is a plate for covering the opening, its lower edge being inserted in a rabbet in the lower bar of frame B, the frame B holding the cover down by the rod b, inserted through holes in the flanges of said frame B and lying over the lower part of frame B 0 O are chambered heads consisting of castings having hollow 'trunnions C, and are firmly riveted in the ends of the cylinder, and the cylinder is supported by these trunnions, in boxes 02, mounted on a suitable framework which supports the entire machine. The chambers in the heads are preferably made square. One of the heads has four radial partitions G which divide the chambers into four. compartments, centrally communicating with one another, and with the hollow trunnion. This chamber is closed by an innerplate O fastened by rivets, and it has openings 0 leading into the said compartments over inclines 0 Two of these inclines are so located in each of the four compartments of the chamber, that their inclined surfaces lead to the said openings 0 and are designed for conducting the pieces of iron that may get into the chambered head back into the cylinder, while the dirt and lighter particles float off with the. water. The opposite or right hand head is not divided into compartments but is closed by a perforated lining plate inclosing the chamber. To the trun nion on this head is to be attached a hose or pipe for conveying water into the cylinder through the said perforations. This is the inlet head, and the other the outlet head for the discharge of Water and washing.

. D is a rolling crusher, consisting of disks joined by wings radiating from the axis, and forming angular troughs. This crusher is placed loosely in the cylinder, and rolls in the lower side thereof as the cylinder is revolved.

E is a ring gear bolted on to one end of the cylinder.

F is a shaft lying parallel with the cylinder, and has its bearing in the frame which supports said cylinder. GrlS a pinion on said shaft meshing with the said ring gear E, and on the end of the shaft is provided a driving pulley H, by which power is applied for revolving the cylinder.

The operations of this machine are as follows :It is intended principally for crushing cinders from cupolas, and collecting the iron particles therefrom. in the cylinder, and as the cylinder revolves the crusher rolls on the bottom and crushes the cinders under it. At the same time a large portion of cinders is carried over in the troughs in the upper side of the crusher, and is dumped in front of it. They also serve to give additional weight to the crusher.

Water is allowed to flow through the oylin- The cinders are placed line with the trunnions, the inclines and openings 0 in that compartment arein a position to discharge the iron back into the cylinder, the iron sliding on the inclines out of the openings.

Having described my invention, I clairn 1. In a rotary crusher, a cylinder A chambered heads 0 C in said cylinder, hollow trunnions C C on said heads, supporting the cylinder in bearings C C of the supporting frame; the rolling troughed crusher D, loosely placed in said cylinder; and means for rotating the cylinder, combined and operating substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

2. In a rotary crusher, a cylinder A having an opening in one side, a frame B surroundpurpose set forth.
