NARCISSE JULES GORGEON Inventor 184, Boulevard Voltaire Paris (France) do
bereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
--
This machine by its disposition is constructed in iron, as indicated in the plan,
although it may be made either in wood, sheet Iron and divers parts in different Steel.
It consists of easily moveable parts, without its strength being in any way altered
thereby; it is constructed so as to meet the requirements of all kinds of rocks, even
calcareous, without having, in a marked degree, the loss occasioned by small masses
and this is the advantage which I have followed for a considerable period, although
the problem of crushing rocks is an already solved fact.-The apparatus has for a
basis two pieces of oak (E), the sizes of which may vary, attached together at their
extremities by three Crossbeams bolted so as to maintain their position. On this basis
are placed the four pillars (K) in Iron or wood, fixed to the crossbeams and uniting
together the Strutbeams or Cross stays (1), also in Iron or wood and placed in abut-
ment so as to support the pedestals and to join along and at the top of the posts (R).
Two main beams (J) in Iron or wood, each of three or more meters in length, form
the basis of the pedestals under which the four pillars (K) are rivetted as well as the
four strutbeams (). The bolts of the four pillars and of the posts (R) go right
through them at each extremity, the heads of these bolts will be, according to circum-
stances, encased in the mainbeams (E & J). Four other large bolts will help to
maintain perpendicularly the said mainbeams (E & J) between the two posts (R) and
the four pillars (K), the heads and screws can be embedded in the wood of the
construction. To avoid the rigidity of the hard bodies, under each pedestal wooden
or leather wedges shall be placed and oval holes shall be made in these pedestals so as
to allow them to slide backwards or forwards. Finally the whole of the construc-
tion (E-J-K--R) shall be united by crossbars in Iron or wood offering all the
desirable strength.

page_text: The empty space existing between the parts here above mentioned is used to place
the grid or Circular Screen where the stone is devided. This screen consists of two
parts. The first (D.) where the stone is introduced so as to dress it first of all, then
the second (Cg h), called grid, screen or moveable plate. The part D is a strong
block of Cast Iron pierced with twelve holes destined to receive as many hammer
shafts (tails) in wrought or Cast Iron or Steel these hainmers are easily changed and
will have the shape of rounds or chisel heads, and others the shape of a gable of which
the roof has only one slope. A small block with two conical tails, can be placed in front
of and across the part D so as to support the passage by which the stone is brought
into the apparatus; in one word the part 1 of the plate is and will take the name of
"moveable anvil."-The second part mentioned above under the name of Moveable
Plate is formed of two strong circular Cheekpieces of Cast Iron, each one pierced by
six or more holes, each with six. equal faces, so disposed as to receive as many
bars (e) of the same shape, placed diagonally and having in their length a series of
four notches varying in depth and in width. These holes or notches are intended to
receive the shafts (or tails) of the little hammers and of crosspieces (f.). The hammers,
placed alongside of the plate (C g 1.) will have the form of spades, the crosspieces
(marked) will have the shape of glasscutters diamonds; all the shafts of these pieces
are of a conical shape, so as to facilitate their entrance between the bars (e), whose
superior angles will be radial to the centre of the axle (d). The distance of these
bars as well as of the hammer shafts, will vary according to the size wanted for the
crushed Stone. All the here above described parts forming the interior of the
Apparatus can be made of Wrought or Cast Iron or different sorts of Steel and are
all easily changeable. To strengthen the barse_a twinsector will be placed on the
right of their lower angles (in good Wrought Iron), triangular notches of about 1 in.
in depth and of the same angle-opening as the bars, so as to receive the latter, are to
be cut in the twinsector, which will be tied by two or three bolts enclosed in Iron
tubes, then, in order to sustain the Sector itself, three Cast steel Bars bent underneath
and the perfectly square extremities of which will be bored to receive bolts and to
maintain the distance of the sides of the plate, three gussets are made in these sides
in order to receive the three bent supports of the Sector.-On the pedestals comes a
parallelogram (A), whose form-seen sideways-will ressemble a small barrel cut in
its length in two and by half; it is constructed of four strong wrought Iron Sheets
joined together and bolted two by two on a strong muffle at their center and to two
strong caps () at their extremities. The centre muffle shall be in Cast Iron; in the
Caps (also of Cast Iron) room will be left to receive the Sheets, and on the upper
part of these caps, holes shall be made so as to receive the shafts of the hammers (a)
having the shape of chisels; in the shafts a notch, reproduced in the cap, is provided
so as to key the hammers and facilitate their exchange. The keys to be of Steel, the
hammers (a) in hardened Wrought Iron or Steel. In the passage left inside the
caps (b) a space will be left so as to receive a Sheet iron casing to stiffen and
strengthen the caps upon the four sheets (A). To the muffle or axletree an Iron
washer will be bolted with the four sheets, in order to strengthen them and to prevent
their tearing. Flat iron crossbars will be bolted across the disc on large Angleirons
covering the thickness of the Iron sheets, at intervals of from .3 to.4 inches; in this
way Stones which may be too large cannot get into the interior of the disc between
the Caps and the Axletroc. After the axletree has been fit with the file, an axle (d)
in good Wrought Iron, having a diameter of 5 to 6 inches and bearing at its
extremities two rings provided with pressure screws, is introduced and will serve as
support to the disc (A) fully equipped, which is keyed to this axle. Two pullies of
about 36 inches of diameter will be fastened at the right extremity of the apparatus
to the axle d, hollowed (cut) at this part, the said pullies will command the rotation
of the disc. On the other side of the axle where there is no pulley or sloping cut, a
wooden drum will be added, if necessary, to give more adherence to the two belts
crossed on the same side of the axle, that is to the left of the Machine, an Iron
flanged flywheel radiating from top to center by means of ribs, may be added. The
axle will turn on two strong Cast Iron supports furnished with their lubricating

page_text: boxes. Oval-shaped holes are made in the said supports, so as to allow of pushing
backwards or forwards the rotary disc, the rotary motion of which in the parallelo-
gram Ab will cut at the back of the plate Cgh the excentric line formed by the
grid; at the end of the plate a rectangular void is reserved in its sides, destined to
receive an Iron bar which will cross the plate and strike against the pillars K, in this
way the movements of the screen can be regulated. The whole Machine will be
covered by a covering (B) in Oak or Pine Wood, coated inside by strong rivetted
Iron sheets; this covering is devided into three parts so as to make it slide on the
upper bearings and to enable the easy exchange of all. moveable parts. Two
articulated chains will be adapted to the apparatus; the one (M²) in front so as to
bring the stone to be crushed, the other (N) on the back and underneath to receive
the crushed stone, pass it and load.it in carts, barrows, waggons &c.
The machine may be rendered moveable, if placed on strong wheels, it is arranged
to this effect.

NARCISSE JULES GORGEON Inventor 184 Boulevard Voltaire Paris (France) do
hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is
to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement (the drawings referred to, are those filed with my provisional
specification) :-
1
This machine, by its disposition is constructed in Iron as indicated in the plan,
although it may be made either in Wood, Sheet Iron and divers parts in different
Steel. It consists of easily moveable parts, without its strength being in any way
altered thereby; it is constructed so as to meet the requirements of all kinds of
rocks, even calcareous, without having in a marked degree, the loss occasioned by
small masses by the apparatuses actually known. This is the advantage of my inven-
tion which I have followed for a considerable period although the problem of crushing
rocks is an already solved fact. The apparatus has for a basis two pieces of oak (E)
of sizes which may vary, attached together at their extremities by three crossbeams
bolted so as to maintain their position. On this basis are placed the four pillars (K)
in Iron or wood, fixed to the crossbeams and uniting together the Strutbeams or
Cross Stays (1) also of Iron or Wood and placed in abutment so as to support the
pedestals and to join along and at the top of the posts (R). Two mainbeams (J) in
Iron or Wood, of 3 or more meters (yards) in length, form the basis of the pedestals
under which the four pillars (K) are bolted as well as the four Strutbeams (l). The
holts of the four pillars and of the posts go right through them at each extremity
and the heads of these bolts will be encased in the Mainbeams (E & J). Four other
large bolts will help to maintain the said Mainbeams perpendicularly between the two
posts R and the four pillars K; the beads and nuts of the bolts to be embedded in the
wood. To avoid the rigidity of the hard bodies, wooden or leather wedges are placed
and oval holes are made under and into each of these pedestals or bearings, so as to
allow them to slide backwards or forwards. Finally the whole of the construc-.
tion (EJ KR) is tied by Iron or wooden crossbars and offers all desirable strength.
The empty space between the above mentioned parts is employed to place the grid
or Circular Screen, where the stone is devided. This Screen consists of two parts.
The first (D) is a strong Cast Iron block where the stone is first introduced to dress
or rough it off the second (C gh) called grid, screen or moveable plate. The
part D shows twelve holes destined to receive the same number of hammer shafts or
tails in wrought or cast Iron or Steel, easily rechangeable and having the shape of
round or chiselheads and a portion of them, the shape of a gable, the roof of which
has only one slope, in one word the part D of the plate is and will take the name of
"Moveable Anvil." The second part mentioned above as "Moveable Plate is
formed of two strong cast iron cheekpieces each one pierced by six or more holes of

page_text: six equal faces so disposed as to receive as many bars (e) of the same shape, placed
diagonally and having in their length a series of four notches destined to receive the
shafts or tails of the little hammers (f). The hammers placed alongside of the
plate Cgh will have the form of spades, the others having the shape of glasscutters
diamonds. All these shafts are of conical form so as to facilitate their entrance
between the bars e. The distance of these bars as well as of the hammershafts will
vary according to the size wanted for the crushed stone. All the above described
parts, forming the interior of the apparatus, can be constructed in Wrought or in
Cast Iron or in Steel and are all easily changeable. To strengthen the bars e a twin
sector is placed on the right side of their lower angles. This twinsector, made of best
wrought Iron has triangular notches of about one inch in depth and of the same
angle-opening as the bars, so as to receive the latter. The twin-sector is tied by two
or three bolts enclosed in Iron tubes, then, in order to sustain the sector itself, three
Cast Steel bars bent underneath, the perfectly square extremities of which are bored
so as to receive bolts and to maintain the distance of the sides of the plate, three
gussets are made in the sides in order to receive the three bent supports of the sector.
On the pedestals or bearings comes a parallelogram (A) whose form-seen sideways-
will ressemble a small barrel cut in its length and by half; it is constructed of four
strong Wrought Iron Sheets, joined together and bolted two by two on a strong muffle
at their center and to two strong caps (b) at their extremities. The center muffle is
in, Cast Iron, in the caps (also of Cast Iron) space will be left to receive the sheets.
The upper part of the caps shows holes to receive the shafts of the hammers (a)
having the shape of chisels; in each shaft a notch reproduced in the cap, is provided
for the purpose to key the hammers a and to facilitate their easy exchange. The keys to
be of Steel, the hammers of hardened Wrought Iron or also of Steel. In the
passage left inside the caps, a space will be spared so as to receive a Sheetiron
casing to stiffen and strengthen them upon the 4 sheets (A). To the muffle or axle-
tree, an Iron Washer is bolted with each pair of Sheets in order to strengthen them
and to prevent tearing. Flat Iron crossbars are bolted across the disc on large angle
irons covering the thickness of the Iron sheets at intervals of 3 to 4 inches; in this
way too large Stones cannot get into the interior of the disc between the caps and the
axletree. After the axletree having been fit with the file, a good Wrought Iron
Axle () of 5 to 6 inches of diameter and bearing at both extremities rings provided
with pressure screws, is introduced and serves as support to the disc Ab fully
equipped which is keyed to this Axle. Two pullies of about 36 inches of diameter
are fastened to the axle d cut at this part for the purpose, at the right extremity of
the apparatus, this pullies will command the rotation of the disc. On the other side
of the axle, where there is no pulley or sloping cut, a wooden drum will be added,
if necessary, to give more adherence to the two crossed belts; on the same side of
the axle, that is to the left of the machine an Iron flanged Flywheel radiating from
top to center by means of ribs, may be added. The axle turns in two strong Cast
Iron supports provided with their lubricating boxes. Oval holes are made in these
supports so as to allow backwards or forwards movements of the disc, the rotary
motion of which in the parallelogram A b will cut at the back of the plate Cgh,
the excentric line formed by the grid. At the end of the plate a rectangular void is
reserved in its sides destined to receive an Iron bar which, in crossing the plate,
strikes against the pillars K; in this way the movement of the screen can be
regulated.
The whole machine is covered by a covering (B) in Oak or Pinewood, coated
inside by strong Iron sheets. This covering is devided into three parts so as to
permit its sliding on the upper bearings and to enable the easy exchange of all
moveable parts. Two articulated chains are adapted to the Apparatus; the one (M²)
in front, so as to bring the stone to be crushed, the other (N2) on the back and
underneath to receive the crushed stone, pass it and load it in Carts, Barrows,
Waggons &c.
The machine can be made moveable if placed on strong wheels, all parts of it
are arranged to this effect.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :
1°. The advantage of reducing in a marked degree the loss actually occasioned by
all existing apparatuses.
2°. The advantage of crushing and grinding all kind of rocks to all required
sizes.
30. The special construction of the grid, circular screen, moveable anvil and
moveable plate, parts D & C g h here above particularly described.
4°. The particular forms and shapes of hammers and bars a ef.
5°. The parallelogram and disc Ab in all its details and rotary motion.
