Claims. (Cl. 51-206.4)
The invention relates to pulpstones.
One object of the invention is to provide a pulpstone of such construction that it is easy to build in the first place. Another object is to provide a pulpstone that can be easily repaired when one or a few of the blocks break. Another object is to provide a pulpstone of such construction that it can be readily reconstructed using the original center. Another object of the invention is completely to eliminate curing of the pulpstone or any of its components in an oven. Another object is to provide a pulpstone the blocks of which are firmly held in place but not under any initial tension, as I believe that initial tension on the blocks is the cause of many failures, and at the same time to provide a pulpstone having one or more of the advantages set forth in the preceding objects.
Another object is to provide a pulpstone with provisions for keeping it cool for the manufacture of high grade pulp and to minimize fracturing of the blocks.
Other objects will be in part obvious or in part pointed out hereinafter.

Figure 2 is a fragmentary axial sectional view of the pulpstone, taken along the line 22 of Figure 1,

Figure 7 is a developed view of the pulpstone.
As conducive to a clearer understanding of the present invention, it is noted that many pulpstones were manufactured, sold and used, and patents illustrating and describing them were issued, in which the blocks also called segments, were secured to a steel drum by bolts of various kinds. As the performance demanded of these pulpstones increased, by the use of driving motors in the pulp grinders of greater horsepower, breakage of the blocks became serious. To meet this situation the concrete center pulpstones were developed and, in many different forms, were manufactured, sold, used and patented. An excellent example of a concrete center pulpstone is illustrated and described in U. S. Patent No. 2,421,885 to Howe and Washburn.
In the case of the steel or iron drum center stones, so
far as I am aware the bolts holding the blocks to the center were always tightened to exert initial pressure or tension on the blocks. In the Howe and Washburn patent pulpstone the bolts exert no initial tension on the blocks and are themselves under no initial tension or strain. I have discovered that a superior pulpstone foruse in grinders of more than average horsepower can be produced by the utilization of a steel or iron drum center,
2,769,286 Patented Nov. 6, 1956 Referring now to Figures 1 and 2, the bolts are designated by the reference character 10. Each bolt 10 has a convoluted head 11 comprising ridges 12 separated by grooves 13 and a base 14, and the base 14 might be of the same shape as the ridges 12 but is shown as flattened on the bottom. The base 14 might be shaped exactly to fit the surface of a metal drum center 15 but not a great deal is gained by so donig.
The ridges 12 are shown as rounded and so are the grooves 13 and this facilitates manufacture and allows the cement to fill the spaces and to set firmly, but many other shapes could be adopted. The distance between the centers of the ridges 12 in this illustrative embodiment of the invention is .25 inch but may be from .125 inch to .5 inch and the distance between grooves is the same with preferably the same limits.
Broadly speaking the drum 15 is a metal drum and any suitable steel or cast iron could be used or other metals such as bronze could be used. However, for manufacturing reasons I prefer to use a cast iron of the kind known as semi-steel. Strength is, of course, important and so is manufacturing cost. Any suitable mounting apparatus can be used for the drum 15 which is shown as a hollow metal cylinder and many such apparatus are known. flanges can be used removably to secure it to the shaft of the pulp grinder.
I provide blocks 20 and 21 which are made of vitrified bonded abrasive material the nature of which is now fully understood in the art. For pulpstone blocks both fused aluminum oxide and silicon carbide have been used and each is used today. The desired abrasive is mixed with ceramic bonding material usually involving a major portion of clay, the blocks are molded from the mixture of abrasive and ceramic material and are then vitrified in a kiln. Such manufacture being well known it need not be further described herein.
The blocks 20 and 21 can be of any desired contour in development, rectangles, squares and hexagons being common. However, as shown in Figures 3, 4, 5 and 7, the blocks 20 inwardly of the stone are hexagonal blocks while the marginal blocks 21 are five sided as shown. By this construction the ends of the pulpstone can be plane surfaces or other surfaces of revolution. The outer surfaces of the blocks will be at least eventually cylindrical and preferably the inner surfaces will also be cylindrical.
Referring now to Figures 1, 2, 3 and 4, I form one or more holes 25 in each block 20 and 21. These holes 25 are preferably grooved as illustrated. The clearance between the heads 11 and the grooved holes 25 is such that the blocks 20 and 21 can be placed on the heads 11. As
shown in Figure 1, the bolts 10 are set radially as other arrangements would be expensive, while the holes 25,are
made perpendicular to the chords of the blocks as this. is the easiest way and the canting of the bolt relative to.
the holes is in no wise detrimental. Clearance enough is provided so that the blocks can readily be set onto thebolt heads.
These grooved holes 25 can be made by shaving the blocks when they are green, that is to say before they are Having procured a metal drum 15 of the desired size I with radial holes 30 therethrough at spaced intervals to match the holes 25 in'the blocks 20 and 21, I insert a bolt 10 in each of the holes 30 with threaded ends 31 If desired the drum 15 can have spokes, or
3. of the bolts 30 projectingfrom the inside of the, drum 15 and with the convoluted heads 11 on the outside of the drum 15 with the bases 14 engaging the drum. 1 then screw elastic stop nuts-32 onto theg'threaded; ends, 31 and tighten the nuts to place the bolts 10 under-a tensionof at least 3,000 pounds. The tension usually should be greater than 3,000 poundsbut the amount of tension to produce depends upon the size:of the drum 15 and of the pulpstone as a whole and also upon the size of the bolts and of the threads 31-. With a pulpstone 62 inches-in diameter and with a drum 51 inches in diameter and with bolts .625 inch in diameter and 7 inches, long, a satisfactory tension is 6,000 pounds. There is no upper limit other than breaking the bolts or stripping the threads-and the latter will usually occur first.
"I provide a suitable cement and I now prefer Portland cement mixed with iron hardener, in proportions of one part by weight of the Portland cement and one part by weightjof the hardener. Iron hardener is well known and-usually consists of iron filings with a small amount of salammoniac to promote reaction. An area of the outside of the drum 15 the size of the bottom of a block 20 or 21 is coated with this cement, and. the convoluted heads 11 f four adjacent bolts 10, if there are four per block, are thoroughly coatedwith this cement. Then a block is set in place on the heads 11 contacting the cement 35-on the outside of the; drum 1 ;with more cement 35 in the holes 25-. This job is repeated over and over again until the pulpstone is built to the required plan such as shown in Figures 5 and 6. As shown in Figure 5 there are spaces or clearances 36 all around each block separating the blocks and these spaces may be filled with filler material, many such being known in the art, but-Iprefer to leave these spaces open. The pulp doesnot fill them. A practical clearance 36 between blocks is one-sixteenth of an inch audit is not to be expected that all of the clearances 36 will be the same nor is it required that they be While I prefer Portland base cements, especially with an iron filler, other room temperature mineral cements might also be used. Imay also use room temperature setting organic cements.
Figures 5 and 6 show an illustrative mannerof mounting the pulpstone of the invention. Shafts 401 and 41 having flanges 42 are bolted by bolts 44 to the drum 15 at the end thereof. Preferably the flanges 42 have inwardly projectingcylindrical portions 46; nicely fitting the inside of the drum 15 to locate itaccurately. The shafts 40 and 41 are mounted in bearings in the pulpstone grinder. oneo'r these shafts such. as the shaft- 41 is a driving shaft and has a drivingfiang e 48 secured thereto asbyrneans of akey and the .fiarige 4'8is coupled to th e motor of the pulp grinder. These features are given only by way of'illustration andmay be; v aried at will. Qne sh'afn'for exaniplethe shaft 40, is a hollow shaft openatbo'thends. i l
'Whileas stated pulpstone blocks of other shapes can be used within the broad features of my invention, there is an advantage in'using hexagonal blocks 20 with five sided'marginal interfitting blocks 21 Thereby the joints are readily broken so that the stone presents abrasive throughout its length and onlytwo kinds of blocks need beman'ufactu red. Using blocks elongated in the axial dimension as shown makes it possible to have four holding bolts for each block so located as well to distribute the stresses and to avoid breaking strains. In some cases, however, I may provide only'two bolts per block, and then I would arrange them diagonally opposite by pro viding two diagonally oppositejholes of the four illustrated in each'of Figures 3 and 4. Another desirable shapefor the blocks 20 is that of regular hexagons in which case if they are small only a single holding bolt need be provided for each block. However, because of danger of torsional forces loosening the blocks'on the heads 11 a plurality of bolts for each block is preferred and the-best number appears to befour and the next be t a ran m nt, s twp, ia onally. arr nged 11. he claims the inner blocks 20 are stated to be hexagons or that they are hexagonal which means that they are such in plan and in development. In stating that the marginal interfitting blocks are five sided blocks, the linear sides are referred to as the blocks are seen in development.
An inner block for the'pulpstone of the invention with its four holes in a preferred form of the invention may be described as consisting of an elongated hexagonal block of vitrified bonding abrasive material having a convex cylindrical surface having six plane surfaces extending from said convex cylindrical surface two of them being parallel and opposite andforming a dihedral angle whose apex is on the concave side of said convex cylindrical surface, said block having an eighth surface truncating said dihedral angle, and said block having a pair of grooved holes which extend from the eighth surface and are located on opposite sides of a plane bisecti g said dihedral angle.
An outer or marginal block for the pulpstone of the, invention with its four holes in a preferred form ofthe invention maybe described as consisting of a block of vitrified bonded abrasive material having a convex cylindrical surface with five sides four of which aresides of a hexagon and the fifth of which is a straight side, said block having starting from the two sides adjacent the straight side two plane surfaces extending from said con;
vex cylindrical surface forming a dihedral angle whose apex is on the concave side of said convex cylindrical surface, saidblock having two other plane surfaces start? ing from the cylindrical-surface from the remaining sides of the hexagon, saidblock having a plane side starting from the straight side of .the'convex cylindrical surface,
saidblock having a seventh surface truncating the dihedral angle, and said block having a pair of grooved holes that extend from the seventh surface and are locatedon opposite sides of a plane bisecting said dihedral angle.
It is highly desirable to keep the drum 15 cool as this assists in keeping the blocks 20 and 21 from overheating. To this end I connect a supply of water to the hol low shaft 40. As the end of the shaft 40 is on the outside of the grinder, the smallest diameter portion ofthe shaft40 being a journal which fits in the bearing of the grinder, a simple expedient is to mount a stationary nozzle coaxial with the shaft 40'and closely adjacent to it thus directing a jet of water intothe bore in the shaft:
40 and the water by reason of its momentum will travel the entire length of the shaft 40 and spill into the rotating hollow pulpstone. The .water would heat up if fresh water could not be continually supplied so I provide holes 50 radially through the drum 15 and through the ocment 35 and these holes 50 .may be many in numberas shown in Figure 7 and will serve directly to cool the Centrifugal force will, of course, cause the water to form a hollow cylinder inside of the blocks 20 and 21.
drum 15 and theceritrifugal force likewise produces enough pressure to drive the water out of the" holes 50; With a drum 15 having an inside diameter of four feet and the pulpstone rotating at 200 R. P. M., the pressure,
assuming the layer of water in the drum to be three inches thick, will be roughly five pounds per square inch.

ative to the drum 15. i
Especial advantages of the pulpstone construction of In many cases the water layer will be thicker than this invention are that the stone may be of any size, limited only by the size of the drum which can be manufactured. The blocks may be of any size or shape and with the bases 14 taking the tension, there is no initial stress on the blocks. But the initial tension on the bolts prevents them from moving. The mounting of the blocks does not introduce any initial tension on the blocks. The blocks may be manufactured without holes ensuring a uniform abrasive structure and simplifying molding procedures. It is also a great advantage of the construction of the present invention that the blocks can be readily removed merely by unscrewing the nuts 32 and then driving the bolts outwardly from the inside. Reconstruction of the pulpstone is then a simple matter and can be done in the mill without returning the drum 15 to the manufacturer. When one or a small number of blocks break they can be readily replaced in the manner indicated.
It will thus be seen that there has been provided by this invention a pulpstone in which the various objects hereinabove set forth together with many thoroughly practical advantages are successfully achieved. As many possible embodiments may be made of the above invention and as many changes might be made in the embodiments above set forth, it is to be understood that all matter hereinbefore set forth or shown in the accompanying drawings is to be interpreted as illustrative and not in a limiting sense.
