187.~ Rotary striking member with moving cooperating surface or member


DEFINITION

Classification: 241/187

(under the class definition) Apparatus in which the material is subjected to the action of a rotary member which strikes the material a sudden blow to effect the comminution in which the surface or member which cooperates with the rotary striking member has movement during the comminuting

operation. The cooperating member may be another rotary striking member.

SEE OR SEARCH THIS CLASS, SUBCLASS:

27, for the process of comminuting by use of a rotary striking member.

39, for apparatus in which fluid suspended material is projected against a rotary member which strikes it a blow or in which a rotary member has the additional function of projecting material in a fluid current to effect further comminution against a surface or other portions of the material.

55, for a comminuting device having a rotary striking member combined with gas moving means.

86+, for a comminuting device in which the rotary striking member cooperates with a surface having openings. 138, and 154, for comminutors having plural cooperating striking members but in which each rotor, without the other, functions as an independent comminutor.

200, 227+ and 237, for similar comminutors in which a rotor cooperates with a moving surface.

275, for a device in which a rotary member merely acts as a projector for material to centrifugally force it against another surface. A device having a rotary member which projects material centrifugally as described and in addition strikes the material a blow to effect a partial comminution before being projected is classified in subclasses 185.5-197.

301, for a feeder or discharger combined with a comminutor where the latter was claimed so broadly as to fail to present a basis for classification in subclass directed to the specific comminutor.
