摘要:
A tensionable combination mine roof bolt is disclosed for use in resin grouted applications. The mine roof bolt includes a lower rod member having a rotatable bolt head at a first end thereof supporting a bearing plate and a threaded second end spaced from the first end. A coupling threadingly receives the lower rod member therein. A shearable stop device, such as a shear pin, is positioned within the coupling and adapted to stop the threaded lower rod member at a first position for rotation of the cable mine roof bolt during installation. After an upper portion of the cable mine roof bolt is secured, the shearable stop mechanism is subsequently sheared by the lower rod member to allow for tensioning of the cable mine roof bolt. A flexible multi-strand cable is coupled to the coupling device and forms the attachment point for the cable mine roof bolt.

An elongated rod fabricated of polymeric material for use in reinforcing an underground passage includes an integral structure of a shaft portion, washer element and torque receiving end portion. The shaft portion is fabricated of a preselected polymeric material as required to meet the strength requirements of the rod in reinforcing the rock formation surrounding the passage. For use in reinforcing the side walls of a passage, the rod is fabricated of plastic material recycled, for example, from plastic beverage containers. The integral construction eliminates the need to thread the end of the rod to receive a nut. The washer element seats against a bearing block compressed against the side wall. When used with a resin system, the rod is anchored in the bore hole to maintain the bearing block compressed against the side wall to support the surrounding rock strata.

An elongated channel beam for supporting the surface of an underground rock formation includes a base portion with a bearing surface for contacting the rock strata and an opposite surface having a longitudinally extending central rib and flanged edges for resisting deflection and bending of the channel beam under the load of the rock strata. A plurality of openings spaced a preselected distance apart extend through the central rib. A bearing plate is positioned in overlying abutting relation with each opening in the channel beam. The bearing plate includes embossed areas and longitudinally flanged edges that overlie in abutting relation the central rib and flanged edges of the channel beam. The bearing plate is restrained from longitudinal and lateral movement on the channel beam. Anchor bolts extend through the aligned openings in the bearing plate and channel beam into bore holes drilled in the rock formation. Tightening the anchor bolt compresses the bearing plate against the channel beam with the compressive forces distributed over the surface of the bearing plate and transmitted throughout the channel member to support the rock formation.

An expansion assembly for use with resin on a mine roof bolt includes an expandable shell and a camming plug having a first end wall spaced from a second end wall by a tapered body portion. Four equidistantly spaced grooves extend longitudinally in the tapered body portion. Pairs of grooves are connected across the second end wall by transverse grooves that form resin flow channels. A rib formation extends outwardly from the side wall adjacent to and removed from a groove. The rib formation defines the edge of the groove and abuts an edge of one of the fingers of the expandable shell to align the grooves of the plug with the respective slots formed between the shell fingers. This alignment assures unobstructed flow of the mixed resin downwardly through the plug grooves and shell slots into surrounding relation with the expansion assembly for secure bonding of the assembly with the walls of a bore hole.

An improved expansion assembly for a mine roof bolt adapted for use in a 11/2" diameter bore hole with a 1" roof bolt. The expansion assembly has a plug with tapered surfaces, an expansion shell with leaves extending axially upwardly from a support ring into contact with the tapered surfaces of the plug and a support washer. The inner surface of the expansion leaves are spaced inwardly from the surface of the support ring. The expansion leaves have serrations on their outer surfaces such that the serrations are formed by the intersection of a planar surface perpendicular to the axis of the mine bolt and a frusto-conical surface. The end of the leaves on the expansion shell have vertical serrations parallel to the longitudinal axis of the leaf. The tapered plug has channels running longitudinally between the surfaces on the plug for facilitating use of the expansion assembly with resin. The improved expansion assembly may be utilized with or without resin bonding.

An improved expansion assembly for a mine roof bolt for use in a nominal one inch diameter bore hole with a nominal 5/8" diameter roof bolt is provided. The expansion assembly has a tapered plug with four tapered surfaces, an expansion shell that has four leaves extending axially upwardly from a support ring and into contact with the four tapered surfaces on the tapered plug, and a threaded support washer to support the expansion shell on the threaded end of a mine roof bolt. The tapered plug has a threaded bore therethrough for threading onto the mine roof bolt. The tapered plug tapered surfaces have an angle of taper of at least 6.5.degree. to the axis of the mine roof bolt. The expansion leaves each have seven serrations formed on the surface such that the serrations are formed by the intersection of a planar surface perpendicular to the axis of the mine roof bolt and a frusto-conical surface. The frusto-conical surface is at an angle of 72.3.degree. to the planar surface. The serrations are equally spaced from each other and have a peak to peak distance of 0.186". The expansion shell has a maximum length of 2.35 inches. The tapered plug has a rounded upper surface and channels running longitudinally between the tapered surfaces on the plug for facilitating use of the expansion assembly with resin. The improved expansion assembly may be utilized with or without resin bonding.

A tensionable mine roof cable bolt having a resin grouted upper portion and a mechanically anchored lower portion. The lower portion includes a shaft which is swaged to the cable and accepts a mechanical anchor. The cable bolt is rotated during installation in a mine roof to mix resin and simultaneously engage the mechanical anchor with the rock. A drivehead attached to the lower end of the cable fails upon tensioning of the bolt to a predetermined load.
