I, SAMUEL MASON of Watling St. Leicester in the county of Leicester Manu-
facturer, do hereby declare the nature of my invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN
STONE BREAKING & GRINDING MACHINES to be as follows :—
I put
A vertical shaft either round or square with an eccentric at the top works a
number of rollers in a pan similar to that of a Mortar Mill around the pan
several standards or columns, the said pan resting on same when required to be
stationary on the tops of these standards or columns I put a strong frame similar
to that of the Blakes Stone Breaking Machine this I make at the bottom to fit the
columns or standards over the pan, In the said frame I put two Jaws the fast jaw
similar to the Blake's but the swing jaw has a vertical or horizontal toggle groove
& swings upon a shaft at the top. In the vertical or horizontal toggle groove
works an adjustable toggle plate of steel or other suitable metal with a boss on
bored out & run in with metal to fit the shaft, this is the way in which I get my
movement of the said swing Jaw from the vertical or horizontal shaft which has an
eccentric. It then will break down the hardest rock or mineral to small size
& dust which then falls under the rollers which are made to run at a great speed.
I also make the machine without the pan or rollers the shaft is then placed
horizontally & is driven by a pulley, the eccentric being in or near the centre and
a Fly wheel at each end.

of Leicester Ironfounder (Stone Breaking Machine Manufacturer, do hereby declare
the nature of my invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN STONE BREAKING & GRINDING
MACHINES and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement, referring to Fig. 1
of the accompanying drawing :-
A vertical shaft, H, either round or square with an eccentric H, at the top works
Around the pan
a number of rollers I in a pan similar to that of a Mortar Mill.
I put several standards or columns, K, the said pan resting on same when required
to be stationary; on the tops of these standards or columns I put a strong frame L
similar to that of the Blake's Stone Breaking Machine this I make at the bottom to
fit the columns or standards over the pan. In the said frame I put two jaws, the
fast jaw, M, similar to the Blakes, but the swing jaw, N, has a vertical or horizontal

toggle groove works an adjustable toggle plate G, see also Figs. 2 & 3 of steel or
other suitable metal with a boss on bored out or run in with metal to fit the shaft,
in front of which, at A, it is made hollow to receive water for the purpose of
keeping the shaft cool while working, the part B, is for oil or grease, at the back is
an adjustable cup, C, as the bearing in front wears away, the cup is screwed up to
keep the shaft always a proper fit, the top part of the adjustable toggle plate, F,
slides on the bottom part. The plates, D, is for adjusting the jaw to any required
width, the spring jaw has two toggle grooves, E, see Fig. 2, the top groove is
required when breaking soft material, the bottom one is for breaking or cubing
hard material; This is the way in which I get my movement of the said swing
jaw from the vertical shaft which has an eccentric, It will then break down the
hardest rock or mineral to small size and dust, which then falls under the rollers
which are made to run at a great speed, I also make the machine, as in Fig. 2,
without pan or rollers, the shaft is then placed horizontally and is driven by a
pulley, the eccentric being in or near the centre and a fly wheel at each end.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is
1 The combined machine as a breaker and Grinder, viz with pan, rollers &
breaker with moveable jaw at top.
2 The vertical shaft with eccentric movement at top, in, or near the centre-for
working the jaw of breaker.
32 The adjustable toggle plate, with boss to fit the eccentric shaft and made
hollow in front of the centre for water.

the nature of my invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN STONE BREAKING & GRINDING
MACHINES and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement, referring to Fig I
of the accompanying drawing:
A vertical shaft, H, either round or square with an eccentric H, at the top works
a number of rollers I in a pan similar to that of a Mortar Mill. Around the pan
I put several standards or columns, K, the said pan resting on same when required
to be stationary; on the tops of these standards or columns I put a strong frame L
similar to that of the Blake's Stone Breaking Machine this I make at the bottom to
fit the columns or standards over the pan. In the said frame I put two jaws, the
fast jaw, M, similar to the Blakes, but the swing jaw, N, has a vertical or horizontal
toggle groove & swings upon a shaft at the top. In the vertical or horizontal
toggle groove works an adjustable toggle plate G, see also Figs. 2 & 3 of steel or
other suitable metal with a boss on bored out or run in with metal to fit the shaft,
in front of which, at A, it is made hollow to receive water for the purpose of
keeping the shaft cool while working, the part B, is for oil or grease, at the back is
an adjustable cup, C, as the bearing in front wears away, the cup is screwed up to
keep the shaft always a proper fit, the top part of the adjustable toggle plate, F,
slides on the bottom part, The plates, D, is for adjusting the jaw to any required
width, the swing jaw has two toggle grooves, E, sec Fig 2, the top groove is
required when breaking soft material, the bottom one is for breaking or cubing
hard material; This is the way in which I get my movement of the said swing
jaw from the vertical shaft which has an eccentric, It will then break down the
hardest rock or mineral to sinall size and dust, which then falls under the rollers
which are made to run at a great speed, I also make the machine, as in Fig 2,
without pan or rollers, the shaft is then placed horizontally and is driven by a
pulley, the eccentric being in or near the centre and a fly wheel at each end.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
⚫ I claim is
1 The combined machine as a breaker and Grinder, viz with pan, rollers &
breaker with moveable jaw at top.
2 The vertical shaft with eccentric movement at top, in, or near the centre for
working the jaw of breaker.
3 The adjustable toggle plate, with boss to fit the eccentric shaft and made
hollow in front of the centre for water.
