ABSTRACT:
Article breaking apparatus for mounting on an arm of a suitable vehicle, the apparatus having a pair of hydraulically operated jaws (12, 24), the first jaw (12) of the pair having first and second mutually perpendicular article supporting surfaces (14, 16) and the second jaw having an article engaging surface (26). The jaws (12, 14) are movable about a first pivot axis (22) between an article receiving position in which the first article supporting surface (14) and the article engaging surface (26) diverge away from the first pivot axis (22) and an article breaking position in which said surfaces (14, 26) diverge towards the first pivot axis (22). When an article (82) is located between the jaws (12, 24) and the jaws (12, 24) move from the receiving to the breaking position, the article (82) will be urged towards the second article supporting surface (16) and held there against until broken by the relative movement of the said surfaces (14, 26).
