| 20110192927 | SPIDER HAVING SPIDER ARMS WITH OPEN CHANNEL - A spider for use with a gyratory crusher. The spider includes spider arms each formed from two spaced flanges joined by a connecting web to define an open channel having an open top end. The configuration of the spider arms increases manufacturability and provides the required strength and rigidity for the spider. The channel formed in each spider arm is covered by a spider arm shield to reduce abrasive wear to the spider arm. | 08-11-2011 |
| 20100206782 | CONE LIP ASSEMBLY - A cone lip assembly for use in directing particulate material from a vibrating screen unit to a cone crusher includes separate mounting brackets to facilitate the attachment and detachment of the cone lip assembly from the vibrating screen unit. The cone lip assembly includes a main body defined by a pair of side plates that transition from an infeed end to a discharge end. The cone lip assembly includes a pair of mounting brackets that allow secure attachment and detachment of the entire cone lip assembly from the vibrating screen unit.

| 20100193621 | NO-LOAD BEARING FOR A CONE CRUSHER - A cone crusher includes a stationary main shaft and an eccentric that rotates about the main shaft to cause gyrational movement of a head assembly to crush rock within a crushing gap. The cone crusher includes a lower head bushing in contact with an outer surface of the eccentric. The eccentric is formed with a contact pad to enhance the contact between the eccentric and the lower head bushing during a no-load condition. The contact pad includes a contact surface that is recessed from the outer surface of the eccentric to enhance contact during no-load conditions while maintaining full contact between the lower head bushing and the eccentric outer surface during full load, crushing conditions. | 08-05-2010 |
