Cylindrical shaft bores I39 and 1I4il are provided in crusher head I29 to receive :the upper portion of crusher .headshaft MI. The portion of shaft [4| which extends downwardly ifrom crusher-head I29 is conicalandis fitted in conical .liner I95 of eccentric 91 so that the crusher head is aligned with axis A Mantle 136 is held ,firmlyagainst crusher head I29 by a nut M2on the upper end of shaft III, the pressure of the nut being transmitted to the mantle through sleeve M3.

The upper portion of nut M2 is formed with inside vertical grooves M5 to provide for insertion of a suitable wrench for initial tightening. The upper end of nut I 42 is also expanded to provide a supporting flange I46 to'which a 'feed distributing plate I4! is fastened by bolts I48.

The eccentric 9.! and crusher head I29 are-supported by the lower bearing pads H4 which are fitted in groove I50 provided in horizontal frame portion I5I extending between-the expanded 'por-- tion 9a of frame member "9 and the upper portion of frame member Ill. The bottom wall of groove I'5I provides an upwardly facing bearing surface, opposing the downwardly facing bearing .and seal I6 I,

surface 442. Bearing pads H4 are positioned Reverting to the previously mentioned crush- I ingzoneA-it will be noted that the "outer andininer walls of this zone are .formed, respectively,

. by the bowl liner 6 I and the crushing :head'mantle'or liner I36. Beginning at the lowerend of the crushing 'zone these liners are arranged to provide a parallel section I66 when they are in apositionrof closest approach. Above this parallel section the crushing :zone widens outby reason of the fact thatoneof the .liners is built in a series -of conical steps I31, I68 and I69, -the angle between the-conical sections of the liners at the top being not larger than that which will nip-the rock to be crushed without forcing iitfrom the crushing zone.

The bore I94 -of-eccentr-ic '91 is provided with .anoil groove I88 (see Fig. 4) extending from the .lower end of the bore to a radial opening I82 and with a second oil groove I8I diametrically opposite extending to the upperend of said here. Opening I82 extendsradiallyfrom bore N14 to the outer surfaceof the eccentric. Grooves I and .I BI are covered by liner I I35.

Ho'les I84 are drilled'radially inbronze'bearing liner IE5 "to allow oil to pass from groove I80t0 lubricate this bearing. Similarly, holes I85 :are :drilled radiallyin the eccentric to meet groove Iii-I and "allow oil to ,passfrom this groove to Inbricateibronze-bearing l3. 7

A pocket I55 .is provided at the inner end of pinion shaft housing 9i to :pick up oil and lead -.-it to-the combined radial and thrust bronzeb'earings I51 and I58. If desired, the bearings I51 and --I 58 may bereplaced by anti-friction bearings which take care of both-radial and thrust loads. .The end cover I69 of shaft housing Si :is'provi'd'ed with a seal :I 6 I and a seal cover I52.

.Poweris transmitted topinion shaft 93 through a coupling (not .shown) which is fitted on the :shaft so that it is presseda'gainst'a spacer sleeve I63 extending outwardly through end cover I63 Pinion 9:3 is pressed on shaft'93 and held against endwise displacement by'retaining plate I 64 which is held in place by' cap screws (not shown) Operation Rotation of pinion shaft 93 by an electric motor -;or other prime mover serves to rotate eccentric 97 about axis A through the agency of pinion 94 and gear .95. This rotation :of eccentric 91 im- 1, parts a conical motion to crusher head shaft MI and gyrates the crusher head I29. The crusher head must be free to rotate about axis A independently of eccentric s7 and this is provided for by the fitting of the conical portion of shaft MI in the-'conicalbearing liner I 95 of eccentric 91.

Lubrication Oil is pumped to central oil inlet opening I00 provided in cover 39- and is directed through oil hole '99 of soaring 95 by the constraining effect of oil seal I113. The oil is then free to divide itself between 0-11 grooves H35 and NH in bore IIM of eccentric 91 (see :Fig. 4). Oil following oil groove I80 of eccentric 9! passes outwardly through radial openings I82 to flood the lower b'earing pad I'M. Oil following the oil groove I"=8I of-eccentric 9'! floods the upper'surilace of the eccentric to lubricate the upper bearing pad I15.

The oil which floods the thrust bearing pads I I4 and I I5 is thrown downwardly and outwardly into an oil sump I68 which lies in the upper part of the central section of the frame structure and is bounded by the horizontal frame portion I5I, the upper portions of the frame members '8 and 9 and the horizontal rib I I. The upper horizontal frame portion I 5I is provided with openings I5Ia through which the oil passes. The rib II forming the bottom wall of the oil sump I68 is provided with an opening I8? through which oil drops, passing along wall I88 and onto bevel gear 95 at the point where it meshes with bevel pinion 94, to be thrown outwardly, a large portion of it passing through the gear mesh.

Rib I I is also provided with a small opening I89 through which a small quantity of oil passes to collect in pocket I56 whence it is led to the pinion shaft bearings. Suitable arrangements are made to return oil from these hearings to sump I III or, alternately, direct to external sump (not shown). Oil thrown outwardly by the gear falls into sump I'IU formed in cover 89 from which it is removed through hole III.

In the modified arrangement shown in Figures 3 and 4, the bottom cover 89 of the frame is formed with a relatively large opening 39a normally closed by relatively light auxiliary cover I15. In this case the openings I90 and III are formed in the auxiliary cover I'I5 which also carries the parts I62 and I03. The main cover 89 is formed with an upstanding annular wall I16 surrounding opening 89a and with ribs III extending outwardly from said wall. The wall "6 is provided with oil holes IIB through which oil enters sump I 7!} from the oil spaces provided between adjacent ribs I'I'I. Ribs I'I'I will stop any swirl caused by the rotating gear.

The advantage of the double cover arrangement shown in Figures 3 and 4 is that the removal of the light auxilary cover [75 enables the eccentric 9? to be detached from gear 95 and removed for examination or replacement without removing the gear 95 which is too heavy for man handling. When cover I15 and the gear fastening bolts 96 are removed, the gear 95 will be supported and retained in position for re-attachment to the cocentric by the gear supporting annular wall I16 of main cover 89.

Some of the excess oil from hearing I 3 will join the oil flowing from passage I82 to the lower bearing pad and some of such excess oil will drop onto gear 95.

An external oil sump (not shown) is provided for collecting and, if necessary, cooling the oil. The oil is led to this sump by suitable piping including a pipe (not shown) connected to an oil hole III in the bottom wall of oil sump I and a second piping (not shown) connected to an oil hole I72 provided at the outer end of the pinion shaft housing 9 I.

In order to protect the bearings H4 and I I5 from starting without oil, means are provided for retaining a pool of oil at the contacting surfaces after the oil pump is shut off. This is accomplished by means of the oil retaining lips I I 3a and I I31) arranged at opposite sides of the upper bearing pad H5 and the oil retaining lips I52 and I 53 provided at opposite sides of the lower bearing pad II4.

The oil pump will preferably be driven separate 1y from the main motor (not shown) but will be interlocked with the main motor in such a way as to start before the main motor and to run for a short time after the main motor is shut off.

Seal

As previously noted, air under suitable pressure is forced through the air inlet bores 81 and 88 into air chamber 82 from whence it passes into labyrinth I2I through holes 85a and from labyrinth I2I through holes I3I into the upper labyrinth I30. In this way air pressure is maintained in the air chamber 82 and in the labyrinthine air passages so that there will be arconstant flow of air outwardly and inwardly from said air chamber through passages, the outward flow providing protection against dust and the inward flow toward the sump I68 tending to prevent the entrance of oil to these passages. A suitably placed and protected air vent (not shown) is provided to permit the air to flow freely out of the sump.

Having thus described the important characteristics of my invention and a preferred embodiment thereof, it will be understood that various modifications may be resorted to within the scope and spirit of the invention as defined by the appended claims.
