Latest Patents
Mike Stemper holds a patent for a shoe mounting bracket for a vertical shaft impact crusher. This invention focuses on improving the vertical shaft impact crusher by incorporating a shoe assembly attached to a rotatable table assembly. The shoe assembly consists of a bracket, a shoe, and mounting bolts that allow for the removable attachment of the shoe to the bracket. The design features a contact surface that engages a support surface of the bracket, effectively reducing shear forces in the mounting bolts during the rotation of the table assembly. Additionally, the crusher includes a liner that protects the outside face of the bracket, with spacers on the mounting surface that create a gap between the liner and the bracket. This innovative design minimizes prying action caused by uneven deflections in the mounting bracket during operation.
