20090194620DROP-IN ANVILS FOR AN IMPACT CRUSHING APPARATUS - The present invention provides an impact crushing apparatus that includes a housing, a chamber defined within the housing, a rotor assembly for receiving material and throwing the material radially outward, a lid for closing the chamber, and a plurality of anvils positioned around the rotor assembly and configured to break apart the material. The lid includes a plurality of openings positioned about its perimeter and the plurality of anvils are slidably receivable in the plurality of openings, wherein the anvils include a top portion and a bottom portion having an impact surface configured to break apart the material, the top portion being supported by the top surface of the lid and the bottom portion positioned within the chamber such that the material collides with the impact surface of the plurality of anvils and breaks apart.08-06-2009
20090194621LOW-PROFILE HOUSING FOR AN IMPACT CRUSHING APPARATUS - The present invention provides an impact crushing apparatus that includes a housing, a chamber defined within the housing, a rotor assembly for receiving material and throwing the material radially outward, and a plurality of anvils positioned around the rotor assembly and configured to break apart the material. The rotor assembly is driven by a drive unit, which is coupled to a shaft. A bearing cartridge encircles the shaft, and the bearing cartridge and drive unit are disposed outside the chamber.08-06-2009
20090194622SPLIT LID FOR AN IMPACT CRUSHING APPARATUS - The present invention provides an impact crushing apparatus that includes a chamber for receiving material, a rotor assembly disposed within the chamber, a drive unit operably coupled to rotate the rotor assembly, and a plurality of anvils positioned around the rotor assembly and configured to break apart the material. A lid is provided for closing the chamber and includes a first portion and a second portion, wherein the first portion pivots about a first hinge and the second portion pivots about a second hinge between an open position and a closed position, the first portion and second portion being spread apart in the open position08-06-2009
20090194623FLOATING TUBULAR ROTORS FOR AN IMPACT CRUSHING APPARATUS - The present invention provides an impact crushing apparatus that includes a housing, a chamber defined within the housing, a lid for closing the chamber and having an opening for receiving material, and a rotor assembly for receiving material from the opening in the lid and throwing the material radially outward. A drive unit is operably coupled to the rotor assembly. The rotor assembly includes a body with a plurality of receptacles and a plurality of tubes removably slideable within the plurality of receptacles, the tubes including a hollow bore configured to transport material from an internal opening of the rotor assembly to an outer periphery of the chamber. The tubes float within the receptacles and are retained by centrifugal force.08-06-2009
20090194624PIVOTING SHOES FOR AN IMPACT CRUSHING APPARATUS - The present invention provides an impact crushing apparatus that includes a housing, a chamber defined within the housing, a rotor assembly for receiving material and throwing the material radially outward, and a drive unit for rotating the rotor assembly. The rotor assembly comprises a plurality of shoes pivotable about a pin, the plurality of shoes having an impact surface configured to transport material received through the internal opening to the outer periphery of the chamber.08-06-2009

20090090759FASTENER DRIVING TOOL USING A GAS SPRING - A portable linear fastener driving tool is provided that drive staples, nails, or other linearly driven fasteners. The tool uses a gas spring principle, in which a cylinder filled with compressed gas is used to quickly force a piston through a driving stroke movement, while a driver also drives a fastener into a workpiece. The piston/driver is then moved back to its starting position by use of a rotary-to-linear lifter, and the piston again compresses the gas above the piston, thereby preparing the tool for another driving stroke. The driver has protrusions along its edges that contact the lifter, which lifts the driver during a return stroke. A pivotable latch is controlled to move into either an interfering position or a non-interfering position with respect to the driver protrusions, and acts as a safety device, by preventing the driver from making a full driving stroke at an improper time.04-09-2009
