Patent number: 7090083Abstract: A module is provided for screening or diverting particulate material. A method for producing a module for screening or diverting particulate material is also provided. Each module comprises either a screening member having an array of sieve apertures of a predetermined size defined therein for allowing particulate material up to the predetermined size to pass through the module or a diverting member or redirecting the flow path of the particulate material. A plurality of posts removably and interlockingly supports at least one reinforcing support frame and at least one module. Each reinforcing support frame is interlockably mounted onto the posts, and is readily detachable therefrom. Each module is disposed on the interlocking posts and is mounted onto, and readily detachable from, the reinforcing support frame. Each module is further positioned on the frame such that any particulate material passing through the module passes through the frame.Type: GrantFiled: October 2, 2003Date of Patent: August 15, 2006Assignee: Western Wire Works, Inc.Inventors: Lynn A. Russell, Terry R. Askew, Jack Coleman Gold

Patent number: 6070737Abstract: The method and system of the present invention provides for fast, convenient and low cost installation and removal from a particulate screening assembly of an apparatus for protecting the underlying structural members of the screening assembly from the adverse affects caused by the flow therethrough of particulate material. The subject system includes a wear protector system designed for direct attachment to and removal from the structural members which support the screening assembly. This direct attachment and removal operation occurs without the need to detach or disassemble the support structure from the screening assembly. Thus, the wear protector system can be readily removed and replaced without expending substantial downtime in completing system maintenance.Type: GrantFiled: December 30, 1997Date of Patent: June 6, 2000Assignee: Western Wire Works, Inc.Inventors: Lynn A. Russell, Warren A. Strout

Patent number: 5816412Abstract: The subject invention relates to a screening system, preferably a finger screening system, for screening particulate material. The screening system for screening particulate material comprises a screening assembly including a housing. A plurality of screening modules are mounted for direct attachment to and removal from the screening assembly. Each screening module comprises a support block having a front end and a back end and a plurality of rods joined at a first end to the front end of the support block. The second end of the rods are free of attachment and form a row of the rods extending outwardly from the support block. The row of rods define an array of sieve openings of a predetermined size for allowing particulate material up to a predetermined size to pass through the screening module. A plurality of attachment assemblies are also provided for clamping the plurality of screening modules to the screening assembly.Type: GrantFiled: April 2, 1996Date of Patent: October 6, 1998Assignee: Western Wire Works, Inc.Inventor: Anton Bokor

Patent number: 5372261Abstract: A system for screening or diverting particulate material includes replaceable screening or diverting modules mounted to a rigid frame by lock pin assemblies is provided. The lock pins are fixed into mounting holes in the frame and interlockingly and removably engage recess apertures in the sidewalls of the screening or diverting modules so that the lock pins remain fixed to the frame while allowing the modules to be removed and replaced as required due to wear or to change sieve size. The lock pin assembly comprising an elongate connector strip having first and second major opposite surfaces, a plurality of lock pins joined to the first major surface, and connectors joined to the second major surface for connecting the lock pin assembly to the frame. The lock pins includes devices for interlockingly and removably engaging the attachment apertures to maintain the positioning of each screening or diverting module on the frame when the lock pin assembly is attached to the frame.Type: GrantFiled: May 25, 1993Date of Patent: December 13, 1994Assignee: Western Wire Works, Inc.Inventors: Zanley F. Galton, Lynn A. Russell
