## Abstract

A cone crusher for crushing stones comprises an outer shroud housing a shaft driven of conical swinging motion at the middle portion whereof there is provided a crushing or milling cone, cooperating with a shroud conical ring to define an upward widening space therebetween, a rotating bush being provided for housing a hydraulic piston supporting, through an axial roller bearing, the bottom end of the shaft arranged substantially concentrical to the piston.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A cone crusher for crushing stones and the like, comprising an outer shroud enclosing a space, a substantially vertical shaft within said space and driven with a conical swinging motion, said shaft having a downwardly diverging crushing cone at a middle portion thereof, on said shroud a conical ring spacingly arranged around said crushing cone and having a smaller taper than said crushing cone to define an upwardly widening space therebetween, a rotatory bushing member surrounding said shaft below said crushing cone and rotatably supported on said outer shroud, said bushing member having a circular outer periphery defining an axis of rotation and a cylindrical inner cavity having an axis eccentric with respect to said axis of rotation, said cavity receiving a lower end portion of said shaft and having a closed bottom, a piston axially slidable within said inner cavity and arranged below said shaft, bearing means between said shaft and said piston for rotatably supporting said shaft on said piston on one side thereof facing said shaft, said piston having another side thereof opposite to said one side and forming a cylinder chamber with said closed bottom, a hydraulic system for supplying pressure fluid into said cylinder chamber thereby to hydraulically support said piston and said shaft thereon, transmission means on said rotary bushing member for imparting rotation thereto thereby to impart rotation to said bushing member about said axis of rotation thereof and to impart an eccentric rotatory movement to said piston and said shaft thereon, said hydraulic system including a rotary joint connected to said rotary bushing member, said rotary joint having a mounting flange for connection to said closed bottom of said cavity, a fixed channel extending through said mounting flange for the passage of pressure fluid from said hydraulic system into said cylinder chamber of said cavity, a seat in said mounting flange, rotary seals in said seats and interposed between said fixed channel and said mounting flange, a plate member surrounding said fixed channel and providing a clearance therebetween for bleeding off pressure fluid therethrough.
