Filed:

Oct 10, 2003

Appl. No.:

10/683850

Inventors:

Jesse Prince - Gainesville GA, US
Prentiss Hamilton - Atlanta GA, US
Kam Singh - Gainesville GA, US

International Classification:

B07B001/20

US Classification:

209305000, 209300000

Abstract:

Machines, methods and devices for separating hard material from soft material are disclosed. The machine includes a conduit and an inlet tube connected to the conduit for providing the conduit with hard and soft material. A separating apparatus is positioned at one end of the conduit. The separating apparatus comprises a wall having an interior side and an exterior side and a plurality of apertures through the wall, each aperture comprising an outer section and an inner section, the outer section having a first opening and the inner section having a plurality of second openings, wherein the second openings open from the interior side to the first opening and the first opening opens to the exterior side. A device is used for moving the hard and soft material along the conduit from the inlet tube to the screen end of the conduit so that soft material and a controlled amount of hard material are forced through the apertures in the separating apparatus.

Abstract:

Devices, assemblies, and compression members for regulating the pressure or dwell time within separating machines that separate hard material from soft material are disclosed. The device utilizes a compression assembly comprising a compression member, a base member, a primary key, a primary key receptor, a secondary key, and a secondary key receptor for controlling the amount of material that is forced through a conduit. The primary key, the primary key receptor, the secondary key, and the secondary key receptor secure the compression member to the base member. The devices, assemblies, and compression members of the present invention regulate the pressure exerted on the separating machine by the compressed hard and soft materials and also regulate the dwell time of the hard and soft materials within the separating machine in a manner that reduces the difficulty, expense, and associated time of replacing worn compression members.
