Description: |
| Abstract:
My invention is applicable to two-roller mills, and has for its object to provide simple, strong, and durable means for raising the upper roller in use. It will be understood by those familiar with this class of machinery that owing to the enormous weight of the rollers there is great wear upon the lower journal-boxes of the upper roller and a constant tendency of the upper roller to settle o down upon the lower roller, so that the weight of the upper roller, instead of resting wholly upon its journal-boxes, rests partially and sometimes entirely upon the lower roller.
Claim:
In a cane-mill, the combination, with the lower roll, of the upper roll operating by its weight to crush material against the former, a supporting-frame having stationary bearings for the lower roll, horizontal recesses 14, and vertical recesses open at the top, movable bearings 8, engaging the edges of the latter recesses, cap-plates 9, wedges 12, situated in the recesses 14, screws 17 engaging said recesses and having collars 19, removable plates 13, situated between said collars, and means for securing said plates to the frame. |
