Abstract

A supporting device includes first and second supporting flanges coupled with first and second transmissions, respectively, and a support via which a supporting force is transmittable from the first supporting flange to the second supporting flange. The support includes a lever element which is coupled in an articulated manner with an attachment element on the first supporting flange and thus articulated with the first supporting flange, and a supporting element which is coupled in an articulated manner with the lever element and connected to the second supporting flange and which includes two spaced-apart supporting parts. The lever element is arranged partly between two spaced-apart attachment parts of the attachment element and partly between the supporting parts of the supporting element and is coupled in an articulated manner with the attachment element via the attachment parts and in an articulated manner with the supporting element via the supporting parts.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A supporting device for two transmissions, said supporting device comprising:
a first supporting flange configured for coupling with a first one of the two transmissions;
a second supporting flange configured for coupling with a second one of the two transmissions;
an attachment element provided on the first supporting flange and including two attachment parts spaced apart from one another; and
a support via which a supporting force is transmittable from the first supporting flange to the second supporting flange, said support including a lever element which is coupled in an articulated manner with the attachment element and as a result in an articulated manner with the first supporting flange, and a supporting element which is coupled in an articulated manner with the lever element and connected to the second supporting flange and which includes two supporting parts spaced apart from one another, said lever element being arranged partly between the attachment parts of the attachment element and partly between the supporting parts of the supporting element and coupled in an articulated manner with the attachment element via the two attachment parts and in an articulated manner with the supporting element via the two supporting parts.

2. The supporting device of claim 1 , wherein the lever element is formed in one piece.

3. The supporting device of claim 1 , wherein the first and second supporting flanges are each formed as a cast structural part.

4. The supporting device of claim 1 , wherein, in an installed position of the supporting device, the supporting element is arranged at least predominantly beneath the supporting flanges in a vertical direction.

5. The supporting device of claim 1 , wherein, in an installed position of the supporting device, the supporting element is arranged completely beneath the supporting flanges in a vertical direction.

6. The supporting device of claim 1 , further comprising:
a second attachment element provided on the second supporting flange; and
a second support via which a second supporting force is transmittable from the second supporting flange to the first supporting flange, said second support including a second lever element which is coupled in an articulated manner with the second attachment element and as a result in an articulated manner with the second supporting flange, and a second supporting element which is coupled in an articulated manner with the second lever element and connected to the first supporting flange.

7. The supporting device of claim 6 , wherein, in an installed position of the supporting device, the second supporting element is arranged at least predominantly above the supporting flanges in a vertical direction.

8. The supporting device of claim 6 , wherein, in an installed position of the supporting device, the second supporting element is arranged completely above the supporting flanges in a vertical direction.

9. The supporting device of claim 6 , wherein the second lever element includes two first lever parts which are spaced apart from one another, with the second supporting element being arranged between the two first lever parts and coupled in an articulated manner with the second lever element via the two first lever parts, and two second lever parts which are spaced apart from one another, with the second attachment element being arranged between the two second lever parts and coupled in an articulated manner with the second lever element via the two second lever parts.

10. The supporting device of claim 6 , wherein at least one of the second supporting element and the second attachment element is formed in one piece.

11. The supporting device of claim 6 , wherein the second attachment element includes two second attachment parts spaced apart from one another, and wherein the second supporting element includes two second supporting parts spaced apart from one another, said second lever element being arranged partly between the two second attachment parts and partly between the two second supporting parts and coupled in an articulated manner with the second attachment element via the two second attachment parts and in an articulated manner with the second supporting element via the two second supporting parts.

12. The supporting device of claim 11 , wherein the second lever element is formed in one piece.

13. A device, comprising:
a first transmission into which drive power is introducible via a first drive shaft having a first direction of rotation;
a second transmission into which drive power is introducible via a second drive shaft which has a second direction of rotation opposite to the first direction of rotation; and
a supporting device including a first supporting flange coupled with the first transmission, an attachment element provided on the first supporting flange and including two attachment parts spaced apart from one another, a second supporting flange coupled with the second transmission, and a support via which a supporting force is transmittable from the first supporting flange to the second supporting flange, said support including a lever element coupled in an articulated manner with the attachment element and as a result in an articulated manner with the first supporting flange, and a supporting element which is coupled in an articulated manner with the lever element and is connected to the second supporting flange and which includes two supporting parts spaced apart from one another, said lever element being arranged partly between the two attachment parts of the attachment element and partly between the two supporting parts of the supporting element and coupled in an articulated manner with the attachment element via the two attachment parts and in an articulated manner with the supporting element via the two supporting parts.

14. The device of claim 13 , wherein the first and second transmissions are each embodies as a planetary transmission.

15. The device of claim 13 , constructed in the form of a comminution machine for comminuting material to be comminuted.
