Abstract: The braking control means (33,33a) which serve to set the brakes are connected in parallel and the shut-off and lifting control means (33', 34) which permit lifting of the brakes are connected in series with the braking units (9). A single intact braking control means (33,33a) ensures braking, while all shut-off and lifting control means (33',34) must be connected correctly for lifting the brakes. The control means (33,33a,34) are provided with positioning means (41) which can be actuated via two control lines (42a, 43a) each and a switch (48) which can be switched between an "on" position lifting the brake and an "off" position which causes the brake to be set and in which at the same time a short-circuit-like connection between the two control lines (42a, 43a) is established in order to prevent any energy supply to the positioning means (41) and, thereby, unintended lifting of the set brakes.

Abstract: The shell of the breakers is mounted on the upper part of the housing of a cone crusher in such a way that when expansion of the shell occurs under operation of the cone crusher the mounting bolts are not twisted or sheared and at the same time are readily accessible for replacement. Thus the shell is provided with a number of symmetrically spaced pockets around the middle part of its outer surface, each of these pockets extends through a corresponding opening in the casing and is connected to a mounting bolt for attaching to the casing through the intermediary of a two-arm lever directed radially away from the shell.
