itself to manufacture on a largeproduction basis, all as hereinafter more particularlyset forth, described and claimed.
In this application I show and describe only the preferred embodimentlof mylinvention simply by way of `illustration of the practice of my invention as by law-required. However, I realize that my said `invention is capable of other and difl'erentcmbodiments and that the various details ithereof may be l modified .in different ways. Therefore, the drawing .and description `herein are to be considered asmerely illustrative and notl as exclusive.
In the accompanyingdrawing:
AFigure l `represents a longitudinal central-sectional view through a rotor embody ing my invention, .the shaft thereof being shown in elevation;
Figure 2, a sectional viewon the line 2--2 of Fig. `l, looking in the directionlol the arrows, the enddisc @being `broken away;
Figure 3, a fragmentary detail perspective View of one end portion of lthe shaft showing the locking collar `3 in the f course of `being applied thereto;
Figure l, a sectional view on thelline 4-#1 of Fig. 2;.and
Fignre, a sectional view ontheline 5-5 of Fig. l, the disc-4 through `,which it is 4in part taken beingbroken away.
Referring now indetail to the drawings, 1 designates the usual cylindrical end pdr tions of therotor shaft, which is formed with a `long rmedial portion 5 `angular in cross section, lbeing'preferably square as shown, and being of suitable length to reccivctho hammer spacing discs l with theiriintcrven ing spacing and clamping collars 6,:the total length ofthe combined `thicknesses of said discs 4 and spacing: collars dinterposed between itheln ybeing preferably substantially equal to, or fslightlyin :excess of the length of said angular portion 5 and composingthe operative hammer `grinding portion of the rotor which may be-made in diilerent lengths to suit different sizes ofmills and Aoperatire power lplants i therefor.
Between the respective cylindrical lend portions 1 and `theadjacem; ,end portions respectively of the angular portion 5 an angular flange 3 or equivalent having sharp angular portions a or radial projections is pro-V vided, the inner faces of each of the flanges 3, that, is the faces thereof presented toward the portion 5, or of the projections a maliing up the same, all lying preferably substantially in the same plane perpendicular to, and transversely7 of, the axis of portion 5, said flanges 3 respectively being spaced from the respective ends of the portion 5 by cylindrical portions 7 respectively, said sections 7 preferably being of the lsaine diameter as the cylindrical end portions 1. The flanges 1 or the abrupt radial projections a thereof or equivalents, will preferably be integral with the shaft portion 5, as will preferably also the end portions 1 and cylindrical portions 7.V However, it is not essential that the flanges 1 or abrupt projections a thereof, or equivalents shall be integral with shaft portions 1, 7 aiid, and they may be constructed otherwise. Y
ln practice the shaft comprised of the por tions 1, 3, 5 and 7 will usually and preferably be produced by taking a piece of steel angular in cross-section, preferably square, and of the proper length and cross-sectional size, turning down its end portions to form the cylindrical portions 1, smoothing up the faces of the intervening portion as may be necessary or as may be preferred, and then turning down portions respectively adjacent the respective ends of the remaining square portion, so as to forni the cylindrical portions 7 respectively between the respective ends of angular Vportion 5 and the respective flanges 3.V
Preferably, as shown, the cylindrical portions 7 will be of the same diameter and axial length to form annular grooves of the same width, in an axial direct-ion, between the respective flanges 3 and the respective adjacent ends of the medial angular portion 5.
Y Two collars 9 and 9 respectively are applied to the respective ends of the shaft and moved axially thereof toward the respective flanges 3 and over said flanges 3 into the annular grooves between said flanges 3 respectively and the respective adjacent ends of the angular portion 5 so as to extend about the cylindrical portions 7 respectively. Said col-I lars 9 and 9 will be respectively of such thickness as to make atight fit in said grooves between the opposed faces of the respective flanges 3 and adjacent ends of the angular portion 5 to such extent preferably that some appreciable twisting force is necessary to partially turn said collars about the axisV slip overthe respective flanges 3. The said.
axially of their respective collars, and being of such size and shape as to receive their re spective cooperating radially extending angular projections a of their respective flanges 3.
The discs 4 and the collars or spacing elements or rings 6 will have central openings corresponding in shape to the cross-sectional shape of the portion 5 and of such size as to maire a snug fit thereon, as shown in Figure 5, though it is not essential that the spacing elements or blocks 6 shall have such angular central openings, though it is preferable.
The discs 4 will be perforated at intervals in a peripheral direction and as assembled will have their perforations in axial alignnient to receive a plurality of axially extending pins or tie rods 3 secured in positionf by ineans of Cotter pins or other suitable means 10 passing through their respective end portions beyond the respective end discs 4, said pins 8 passing through and serving to pivotally mount one or more hammers each between a pair of discs 4, said hammers 12 respectively being of the saine thickness preferably as the spacing elements 6 and being mounted one or more on each of the tie-rods or pins 8 and being disposed at different points axially and peripherally of the assembled discs,.the relative arrangement of said hammers 12 being as may be desired and in accordance with the usual practice in the art, the said` hammers being free to swing about said pins o r tie rods on coming into contact with some object `fed into the rotor, all as usual. l
To assemble, the thrust or adjusting or locking screws 11 will be turned into their respective bores in locking collar 9 and loclr- Y ing nuts 13 will be turned on their inner ends respectively, but not into locking engagement with the opposed inner face of the tween its cooperating flange 3 and the adjaf cent end of angular portion 5, when it will be partially rotated until its recesses b are in` axial registry with the projections a of said flange 3, when it willbe moved in the reverse axial direction until the opposed axial faces 'l of said projections a of said flange 3 arein engagement with the axial walls respectively of said recesses b of said collar 9, when said projections a will preferably be welded in said recesses b, thus making said collar 9 operatively integral with the shaft.
The discs 4 with their spacing elements 6 are then alternately applied over the other endportion of the shaft and moved to the angular portion 5 thereof and when all of said discs and spacing elements have been thus applied, the locking collar 9 is moved into proper position, in the manner described with relation to collar9, partially rotated until its recesses 'b are in axial alignment with thecorresponding projections a of its flange 3 and then moved in the reverse axial direction so that its said recesses Z; respectively receive the respective cooperating projections a of its `cooperating flange 3, when the said screws 11 will be screwed in to bear against the adjacent end ofthe gang of discs 4 and spacing blocks 6 to force the same in an axial direction tightly together in opposition to t-he collar 9 and to force the collar 9 axially in thereverse direction to force the recesses b of its collar 9 completely on the respective projectionsa in an axial direction and to take up all slack, and when said screws 11 have thus ,been properly adjusted the respective locking nuts I3 will be turned up on said screws 11 respectively into tight locking engagement with the opposed face of said collar 9, when the assembling operation will be complete. If at `any time due to use the parts loosen up a little, due topossible wear, so that there is end play of the discs 4 this may be taken up byiloosening the nuts 13 and properly readjusting the screws i 1l, and there^fter turning the nuts 13 to lock their respective screws 11 in `such adjusted positions, and to facilitate such adjustment of the screws 11 they may be formed with angular sockets in' their outer ends to receive an angularly headed wrench such as now weil known. Y
Any suitable material may be used for any part, though I prefer to use malleable iron castings for the collars 9 and 9 and sheet metal stampings for the discs 4 and while it is preferred that the collar 9shall be welded to the flange 3 cooperating with it, this is not essential as by the thrust of the screws 11 on the other end of the gang of discs 4 and elements 6 the collar 9 would be forced axially with relation to the cooperating flange 3 so as to retain the projections of j said ilangein the corresponding recesses Y) of aid collar 9, thus eii'ectually preventing partial rotary relative movement such as would be necessary before there could be anyrelative axial movement between the collar 9 and the shafirl l Havingthus described my invention, what Isclaimasnew and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:
