  • Patent number: 9295991
    Abstract: A jaw crusher includes a crushing chamber between a fixed jaw and a swing jaw. The jaw crusher also includes an eccentric drive which supports the first end of the swing jaw. The second end of the swing jaw is supported on a rocker plate. The counter-bearing of the rocker plate is arranged as a cross-member and is supported on a hydraulic overload protection mechanism. The cross-member is retained in lateral rocker arms held coaxially to the eccentric shaft of the eccentric drive. The lever axis of the rocker plate projects in a direction of the eccentric shaft and with this projection encloses an acute angle with a radial line of the eccentric shaft. The radial line passes through the counter-bearing of the rocker plate.

  • Publication number: 20130099038
    Abstract: A jaw crusher is described, comprising a crushing chamber (2) between a fixed jaw (3) and a swing jaw (4), and an eccentric drive (7) for the swing jaw (4) which is supported at the end of the swing jaw opposite the eccentric drive (7) on a rocker plate (8) whose counter-bearing (10) arranged as a cross-member (9) is supported on its part on a hydraulic overload protection mechanism (12). In order to provide advantageous constructional conditions it is proposed that the cross-member (9) which forms the counter-bearing (10) for the rocker plate (8) is retained in lateral rocker arms (11) held coaxially to the eccentric shaft (6) of the eccentric drive (7), with the lever axis (15) of the rocker plate (8) enclosing an acute angle ? with a radial line (16) to the eccentric shaft (6) passing through the counter-bearing (10) of the rocker plate in a projection in the direction of the eccentric shaft (6).
