  • Patent number: 8033487
    Abstract: When the rocking side wall is to be opened, the rocking side wall is rotated about a shaft body and a cutout surface comes into contact with a side surface on the upper side of a connection plate When the rocking side wall is further opened with the cutout surface in contact with the side surface on the upper side of the connection plate, the rocking side wall is rotated about the shaft body in operative association with the connection plate. In the middle of the opening motion of the rocking side wall, a rocking axis of the rocking side wall moves from the shaft body to the shaft body. When the rocking side wall is rotated about the shaft body placed closer to the outside than the shaft body, the rocking side wall is opened while being further away from rough crush blades and the crush blades, and this widen the opening between the rocking side walls.

  • Patent number: 4850703
    Abstract: A method of mixing pulverulent materials and a device for practicing the method. In this method, the pulverulent material constituting a main material is continuously fed to a conveyor duct connected to a molding machine in fixed quantities while air is being fed to under pressure or drawn from the duct and simultaneously the pulverulent material constituting compounding ingredient material is fed to the duct at a specified value so that a mixing ration is maintained at a specified value. And in the method, a mixing ratio is changeable by variably controlling the amount of supply of compounding ingredient to the main material while feeding air into the duct or drawing air from the duct. In addition, the device is constructed of a pneumatic closed loop duct type and comprises a closed looplike duct, a pulverized reclaimed material feed unit, a virgin material feed unit, and a control means for regulate a mixed ratio.
