Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An apparatus for fracturing in which: a fracturing tooth is formed so that a base-end portion has a larger diameter than that of a top-end portion, and a tapered part is formed at the base-end portion so as to expand from the top toward the base; a fixing cover is formed along a longitudinal direction of rolls; in the fixing cover, fixing holes for fracturing teeth are formed along the longitudinal direction so that the fracturing tooth is inserted therein; each of the fixing holes has a slope in which the tapered part is in contact at a surface; a fracturing teeth unit is fixed to the roll in a state in which the top-end portion of the fracturing tooth is protruded from the fixing hole radially-outwardly of the roll and the tapered part is wedged between the slope of the fixing hole and the roll.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. An apparatus for fracturing comprising: a pair of rolls which are rotated in a counter direction each other around parallel axes; and a plurality of fracturing teeth units which are provided on outer peripheral surfaces of the rolls, which are arranged along a circumferential direction of the rolls, and which have a plurality of fracturing teeth protruding radially-outwardly and fixing covers fixing the fracturing teeth on the outer peripheral surfaces of…
