Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure provide for systems, apparatuses, and methods of securing screen assemblies. Embodiments include a system having a compression assembly with a compression pin and a pin assembly having a pin. The compression assembly may be attached to a first wall member of a vibratory screening machine and the pin assembly may be attached to a second wall member of the vibratory screening machine opposite the first wall member such that the compression assembly is configured to assert a force against a first side portion of a screen assembly and drive a second side portion of the screen assembly against the pin of the pin assembly. The pin assembly may include a pin that is internally or externally mounted and that is adjustable and/or replaceable.
Claims29
A system, comprising:
- a compression assembly having a compression pin, the compression assembly attached to a first wall member of a vibratory screening machine;
- and
- a pin assembly having a pin, the pin assembly attached to a second wall member of the vibratory screening machine opposite the first wall member, wherein the pin is adjustable.
A compression system, comprising:
- a compression assembly including:
- a compression pin,
- a compression mounting bracket, and
- an actuator bracket rotatably attached to the compression mounting bracket and attached to the compression pin via extension members,
- wherein the compression mounting bracket includes a compression pin aperture configured such that the compression pin is insertable through the compression pin aperture,
- wherein the extension members contact a compression spring configured to push against the extension members and thereby push the compression pin in a direction away from the compression assembly,
- a pin assembly including:
- a replaceable pin, and
- a mounting block,
- wherein the mounting block includes a pin aperture, the pin aperture configured such that the replaceable pin is insertable through the pin aperture,
- wherein when the compression assembly is actuated, the compression pin moves towards the replaceable pin.
A compression system, comprising:
- a compression assembly including:
- a compression pin,
- a compression mounting bracket, and
- an actuator bracket rotatably attached to the compression mounting bracket and attached to the compression pin via extension members,
- wherein the compression mounting bracket includes a compression pin aperture configured such that the compression pin is insertable through the compression pin aperture,
- wherein the extension members contact a compression spring configured to push against the extension members and thereby push the compression pin in a direction away from the compression assembly,
- an adjustment pin assembly including:
- an adjustment pin, and
- a mounting block,
- wherein the mounting block includes an adjustment pin aperture, the adjustment pin aperture configured such that the adjustment pin is insertable through the adjustment pin aperture,
- wherein when the compression assembly is actuated, the compression pin moves towards the adjustment pin.
