F, represents the roll-base frame is secured, said roll-base frame consisting primarily of the longitudinal side girders and the transverse end girders B,-said girders being made of rolled steel and being I-shaped in cross section, and the end girders B", being shaped at their ends I), b, (Fig. 5) to fit into the side girders B, as shown more particularly in Figs. 4, and 5, and being rigidly secure thereto as indicated.
On the junctional ends of the side girders B, and end girders B, are positione and tension spring cage standthe upp'ea' portions of the two on each side of the apparatus being in'each case rigidly connected by means of a tension bar D, medially supported upon and rigidly secured to a centerpost D, in turn rigidly secured toits side girder B. Thus the rigid main frame work of the structure consists essentially of the base girders end corner cage standards C, C, the medial osts D, and the reinforcing tension bars D.

In the first place, in alinement and eliminate binding frictional this respect, the sluggers on one tire are resistance and wear as much as possible. opposed in direction to those on the comeyond each journal section 8, a, one roll panion tire, the inclined tangential por-' 35 shaft S, (or both if desired) is formed with tions on one tire extending from right to an annular groove 8", in which fit the semileft and on the other from left to right, circular tongues e, e, (seeFig. 21) of the it being understood that the shafts are rotwo sections of a split collarlE, which latter tated in opposite directions (as indicated by abuts against the outer end of the bearing the arrows in Fig. 6) so that the operative 40 box 8 as shown more particularly in Figs. slugger faces of the opposed rolls travel 1, 4, 9, 1O, 11, 20, and 21. The annular toward each other centrally and downwardly groove 8), in the shaft is wider than the 001- to grip, like interlocking teeth, the matelar tongues e, e, the difference being comrial fed between them from the central hoppensated for by split shim rings, e, 6, so per H,above. Furthermore, as will be seen 45 that by placing more or less of these semimore (particularly by reference to Figs.
the tongues e, e, the collar E, may be posion "one tire not only intervene between tioned on the shaft to attain accurate arlthe annul'ar'rows of-slug 'ers on the opposed ustment of the latter with relatlon to the roll, but those on each tire are sta gered,

That is to say the shaft may same tire, so that a line drawn longitudi be variably. positioned as related to its lon-. nally across the peripheral surface of either. gitudinal axis by varying the arrangement roll w1ll intersect a plurality of sluggers.

this connection consists in making the sluggers r, 1", with renewable wear-face sections 1*, as shown in Figs, 18, and '19, in which case a recess or socket T is formed in front of each slugger abutment r,-the face sections 1", being slightly tapered or wedge shaped so that their shank portions may be driven into place in the said sockets T or they may be otherwise secured in position by any suitable mechanical expedient, as may be found most desirable in view of the material to be treated. This provision for substitution and replacement of the part of each slugger which is subjected to the greatest de ree of abrasive wear adds materially to t e life and utility of the crusher rolls, and saves loss of time an labor which would otherwise be involved in the dismantling of the apparatus for substitution of new shells or tires R, for old.
The journal blocks (pedestals S, and caps S rest by gravity upon the rail ways b, I), constituted by the upper flanges of the longitudinal girders of the base frame, being held against lateral displacement as before stated by the pedestal flanges s, which straddle said rails and by the bifurcated upper extremities 8 of the bearing caps S which straddle the under sides of the tension bars D. The normal positions of the journal blocks '(S,S and hence of the shafts S, S, and rolls R, R, are prescribed by temper screws T, T, the inner end t, of each of which forms an abutment against which the outer side of rests. Each temper screw T, is seated in a nut bearing n, embedded in one of the spring pressure nut-plates N, N, which rest upon the ways b, b, straddling the same by means of flanges n, n, the upper portions of said nut-plates N, N, being formed to straddle the under side of a tension bar D, as shown in Figs. 10, and 11, so .that said nut-plates N, N, while capable of movement along the rails I), b, are held against lateral movement thereon.
An intermediate spring cage plate G, is 1nterposed between each nut-plate N, and each tension spring cage standard Q, said plate G, being formed on each side with depressions or seats 9, (Figs. 14, and 15,) for compression springs which are interposed between it and the opposed faces of the nut-plate N, and of the standard G, both of which are formed with coincident depressions or spring seats, as indicated in dotted lines in Fig. 10. Thus compression springs 71, 2', are interposed between each of said intermediate spring cage plates G, G, and seats a, .in the nut-plates N, N, while in like manner and alinement compression springs j, j, are interposed between each of said intermediate plates G, and each of said standards C.
Each intermediate spring cage plates G is connected with and supported by one of the journal boxes S',S by means of coupling rods g, g, which extend through holes n n formed to accommodate them in the intervening nut-plate N, as shown particularly in Fig. 10, the ends of said coupling rods g, 9, being threaded to receive adjusting nuts 9 which the normal distance between journal box S ,-S and intermediate spring cage plate G, may be prescribed and regulated.
In a similar manner the nut-plates N, are coupled to the standards C, by means of buffer rods 0, c, passing through openings 9 (Fig. 14) formed for them in the intermediate spring plates G, and having their ends threaded for engagement with nuts 0, 0, by means of which the normal distance between thenut-plates N, and the standards C, is governed. Incidentally it may be 9 by means of mentioned that the openings 0 0 through Upon each temper screw shank near its outer extremity is rigidly secured a sprocket wheel 29; and the two temper screws at each end of the apparatus are connected to turn in unison by a sprocket chain 15 -The extreme ends 25 of the temper screw shanks t, are of square or other angular form in cross section to facilitate manipulation by means of a wrench lever or equivalent mechanical expedient. The coupling together of the pair of temper screws at each end of the apparatus in this manner insuresv uniform and accurate adjustment and alinement of the journal boxes (S',-S on each side girder B and hence a perfect mount for each roller shaft S.
The normal or rest positions of the bearing blocks (S',-S being prescribed as above indicated by means of screws T, T, so as to attain normal distance between the peripheries of the roll tires R, R, any excessive resistance engendered by the presence of abnormally large lumps in the material fed to the rolls will be taken up and compensated for by the springs i, i, j, j, which will allow the nut-plates N, to yield temporarily, but
will return them to normal as soon as the pedestals S. Thus the apparatus is effectually safeguarded and reinforced against undue shock and strain, and smoothness of operation attained. And the facility with which the peripheral relations of the rolls may be changed with accuracy by means of the sprocket and chain-connected temper screws T, T, is an important factor in the practical operation of the apparatus, in that differences or variations of grade of material may be quickly met and provided for.
The reversible cheek plates P, at the ends of the rolls are of triangular shape as shown in Fig. E26,v each being secured on the adjoining'center posts D, by a bolt 1?, the head of which is countersunk in the plate More than one bolt may be used if preferred,the essential feature being that of so supporting each cheek plate P, on its center post D, that its apices may be successively utilized at the area of greatest attritlve wear between the rolls.
By the relative arrangement of rollsluggers herein set forth I am enabled to use rolls of smaller diameter for a given capacity because the sluggers take hold better and more uniformly, and the disintegration of comparatively large pieces of material is assured by the fact that the peripheral areas of the rolls afford no intervening pockets or spaces through which material may pass or be carried without being subjected to grinding by opposed sluggers. And in this connection the provision for the adjustment of the shafts on their longitudinal axes for the purpose of attaining accurate alinement of the rows of Sluggers on one roll with relation to those on the other is important,as well as the fact that the sluggers on each roll are staggered or break joints with each other, laterally considered, so that there is no continuous straight space across the face of either roll,the material fed to the rolls being scattered and broken by and between the sluggers without any chance of escape through the rolls in unreduced condition. Furthermore this arrangement of sluggers is adapted to the feeding through of clays and sticky ores, a result not heretofore attained in a satisfactory manner. 1
The formation of the base frame of I- shaped rolled steel girders is an advantageous feature of construction of the apparatus considered as a whole, affording adequate support for the corner cage standards C, as well as for the journal boxes (8, S and nut-plates also'constituting suitable track-ways for said boxes and plates. And the tension bars D, supported medially by the central posts D, and connecting and reinforcing the cage standards C, aid materially in equalizing and distributing the strain to which the parts are tervening in position subjected during crushing 0 erations, sup plementing .and rendering e ective the action of the shock-absorbent spring cages;
By the provision of sluggers with replaceable wearing faces I obviate the cost of time and labor involved in the substitution of roll tires, as wellas the "initial cost of new tires, so that the life and utility of the apparatus is increased and the cost of maintenance reduced. This result also is contributed to by the triangular cheek plates supported on the center posts in such manner that their end portions may be successively' utilized to bear the brunt of wear at the ends of the crushing rolls.
