Self-loading mobile crusher system
First Claim
1. A self-loading mobile crusher system for reducing the size of debris disposed in a pile having a surface, the system comprising:
- a vehicle having first and second sides and adapted for movement on the surface of the debris pile, said vehicle including first and second surface engaging devices disposed on said vehicle sides;
means for crushing debris, said crushing means being connected to said vehicle for movement with said vehicle;
means for transferring debris from the debris pile to said crushing means, said transferring means being connected to said vehicle for movement with said vehicle; and
means disposed between said sides of said vehicle, adjacent said transferring means, and being connected to said vehicle for movement with said vehicle for controlling passage of debris from the debris pile forward of said surface engaging devices to a position under said surface engaging devices and for selectively allowing debris to pass below said first surface engaging device and debris to pass below said second surface engaging device to thereby selectively increase the height of the surface under either side of said vehicle on which said vehicle moves.

Abstract
A self-loading mobile crusher system for reducing the size of debris disposed in a pile includes a vehicle having first and second sides adapted for movement on the surface of the debris pile. The vehicle includes first and second surface engaging devices disposed on each side of the vehicle. A debris crushing assembly is connected to the vehicle for movement with the vehicle. A debris transferring assembly is connected to the vehicle for movement with the vehicle for transferring debris from the pile to the crushing assembly. Disposed between the vehicle sides, adjacent the transferring assembly and connected to the vehicle for movement with the vehicle is a control structure for controlling passage of debris from the debris pile forward of the surface engaging devices to a position under the surface engaging devices.
