Referring to the drawings, reference numeral 10 generally indicates a rock anchor bolt assembly in accordance with the invention.
The assembly 10 includes a bearing arrangement 12 and an anchor bolt 14. The anchor bolt 14 includes an external screw-threaded portion 16 and a ribbed portion 18. As described in more detail below, the assembly 10 is typically used as a roof anchor in mining operations and is inserted in use into a bore 20 which has been drilled into rock 22 in a conventional fashion.
The bearing arrangement 12 includes a conventional hexagonal internally screw-threaded nut 24, which has a complemental screw-thread to the threaded portion 16, and a dogeared dome washer 26. It is however to be appreciated, that the bearing arrangement 12 may include a variety of different washers e.g. a conventional domed washer without a dogear, a flat washer, a ribbed dogeared washer, or the like. Further, the threaded portion 16 includes a nib or slot 28 which is formed in a conventional fashion.
Referring in particular to Figures 2 to 6 of the drawings, the ribbed portion 18 includes a solid circular cylindrical core 30 which has 5 opposed longitudinal ridges 32, 34 which extend along its length and which define an interface or boundary region between first and second core sections 36, 38. The first core section 36 has adjacent ribs 40.1 and 40.2 which are each of a different height above a peripheral surface 42 of the core 30. Likewise, the second core section 38 has adjacent ribs 44.1, 44.2 which are substantially similar to the ribs 40.1, 40.2 respectively and also stand proud of a corresponding peripheral surface 46 of the second core section 38. The longitudinal ridges 32, 34 may stand proud marginally from the core 30 and typically stand proud about 0.5 mm above the peripheral surfaces 42, 46 of the first and second core sections 36, 38 respectively.
The ribs 40.1, 40.2, 44.1, 44.2 are curved in cross-sectional outline as shown at 48 in Figures 3 and 4. The radius of curvature is typically 1 mm and the ridges are typically about 3.2 mm in width as shown by arrow 50. However, the ribs 40.1, 44.1 and 40.2, 44.2 are of different height. In particular, the ribs 40.1, 44.1 are about 0.6 mm in height as shown by arrow 52 (see Figure 4) and the ribs 40.2, 44.2 are about 1 mm in height as shown by arrow 54 (see Figure 3).
In the embodiment depicted in the drawings, each rib 40.1, 40.2, 44.1, 44.2, is curved relative to the peripheral surfaces 42, 46 of the core 30 (see Figure 6). The ribs 40.1, 40.2, 44.1, 44.2, define a serpentine shape wherein the radius of curvature at a mid-point 56 of each rib 40.1, 40.2, 44.1, 44.2 is greater than the radius of curvature towards end points 58 of the ribs 40.1, 40.2, 44.1, 44.2. In other embodiments of the invention the ribs are substantially straight.
The ribbed portion typically includes two longitudinal raised portions which extend along the cylindrical core at circumferentially opposed positions, the raised portions defining boundary regions between opposed longitudinal core sections, each core section iricluding a plurality of spaced ribs. Ribs on opposed core sections may be orientated in opposed directions.
In certain embodiments, the ribs on one core section are orientated in a left hand external screw-thread fashion and the ribs on the other core section are orientated in a right hand screw-thread fashion. In other embodiments, the ribs on opposed core sections are orientated in a substantially similar direction in a screw-thread fashion.
Each pair of adjacent ribs may stand proud of the core at a different height. The longitudinal raised portions typically stand proud at a lower height above the core than the ribs. The elongate rod is typically extruded and thereafter rolled from steel. The threaded portion may include a nibbed region proximate its free end.
Preferably, the ribs alternate in height, adjacent ribs being about 1 mm and 0.6 mm in height. The ribs may have a rounded profile with a radius of curvature of about 0.5 mm.
The invention is now described, by way of example, with reference to the accompanying diagrammatic drawings.

Referring to the drawings, reference numeral 10 generally indicates a rock anchor bolt assembly in accordance with the invention.
The assembly 10 includes a bearing arrangement 12 and an anchor bolt 14. The anchor bolt 14 includes an external screw-threaded portion 16 and a ribbed portion 18. As described in more detail below, the assembly 10 is typically used as a roof anchor in mining operations and is inserted in use into a bore 20 which has been drilled into rock 22 in a conventional fashion.
The bearing arrangement 12 includes a conventional hexagonal internally screw-threaded nut 24, which has a complemental screw-thread to the threaded portion 16, and a dogeared dome washer 26. It is however to be appreciated, that the bearing arrangement 12 may include a variety of different washers e.g. a conventional domed washer without a dogear, a flat washer, a ribbed dogeared washer, or the like. Further, the threaded portion 16 includes a nib or slot 28 which is formed in a conventional fashion.
Referring in particular to Figures 2 to 6 of the drawings, the ribbed portion 18 includes a solid circular cylindrical core 30 which has 5 opposed longitudinal ridges 32, 34 which extend along its length and which define an interface or boundary region between first and second core sections 36, 38. The first core section 36 has adjacent ribs 40.1 and 40.2 which are each of a different height above a peripheral surface 42 of the core 30. Likewise, the second core section 38 has adjacent ribs 44.1, 44.2 which are substantially similar to the ribs 40.1, 40.2 respectively and also stand proud of a corresponding peripheral surface 46 of the second core section 38. The longitudinal ridges 32, 34 may stand proud marginally from the core 30 and typically stand proud about 0.5 mm above the peripheral surfaces 42, 46 of the first and second core sections 36, 38 respectively.
The ribs 40.1, 40.2, 44.1, 44.2 are curved in cross-sectional outline as shown at 48 in Figures 3 and 4. The radius of curvature is typically 1 mm and the ridges are typically about 3.2 mm in width as shown by arrow 50. However, the ribs 40.1, 44.1 and 40.2, 44.2 are of different height. In particular, the ribs 40.1, 44.1 are about 0.6 mm in height as shown by arrow 52 (see Figure 4) and the ribs 40.2, 44.2 are about 1 mm in height as shown by arrow 54 (see Figure 3).
In the embodiment depicted in the drawings, each rib 40.1, 40.2, 44.1, 44.2, is curved relative to the peripheral surfaces 42, 46 of the core 30 (see Figure 6). The ribs 40.1, 40.2, 44.1, 44.2, define a serpentine shape wherein the radius of curvature at a mid-point 56 of each rib 40.1, 40.2, 44.1, 44.2 is greater than the radius of curvature towards end points 58 of the ribs 40.1, 40.2, 44.1, 44.2. In other embodiments of the invention the ribs are substantially straight.
The ribs 40.1, 40.2 provided on the first core section 36 and the ribs 44.1, 44.2 provided on the second core section 38 are orientated in opposed directions. The ribs 40.1, 40.2 are typically orientated in a right hand external screw-thread fashion and the ribs 44.1, 44.2 are typically orientated in a left hand screw-thread fashion.
Accordingly, the anchor bolt 14 may be rotated into the bore 20 in either a clockwise or anticlockwise direction and still effect mixing or activation of a chemical adhesive 60 as described in more detail below.
Referring in particular to Figures 7 to 1 1 of the drawings, reference numeral 70 generally indicates a ribbed portion of a further embodiment of an anchor bolt 72 in accordance with the invention. The rib portion 70 resembles rib portion 18 of the anchor bolt 14 and, accordingly, like reference numerals have been used to indicate the same or similar features unless otherwise indicated.
Unlike the ribbed portion 18 which has its ribs 40.1, 40.2 and its ribs 44.1, 44.2 orientated in opposed directions, the ribs 40.1, 40.2 and the ribs 44.1, 44.2 of the ribbed portion 70 are orientated in a similar fashion. In the embodiment depicted in Figures 7 to 1 1 of the drawings, the ribs 40.1, 40.2 and 44.1, 44.2 are orientated in a similar fashion as a right hand external screw-thread but, it is to be appreciated, that the ribs 40.1, 40.2 and 44.1, 44.2 may be orientated in a left hand external screw-thread fashion. As in the case of the ribbed portion 18, the pitch of the ribbed portion 70 of the anchor bolt 72 is also 14 as shown by arrow 62. Further, the ribs 40.1, 40.2, 44.1, 44.2 are generally orientated at an angle of about 65 degrees (see arrow 64) relative to the longitudinal ridges 32, 34.
In use, the curved nature of the ribs 40.1, 40.2, 44.1, 44.2 facilitates mixing of the chemical adhesive which typically secures the anchor bolt 14 in the bore 20. The chemical adhesive may be any conventional chemical adhesive such as resin or grout which requires an activation compound to initialize hardening. The chemical adhesive is typically provided in the form of a capsule and, accordingly, the anchor bolt 14 includes a V-shaped end 74 (see Figure 1 ) to break the capsule and thereby initiate setting. The curved ribs 40.1, 40.2, 44.1, 44.2 displace the chemical adhesive upon rotation of the anchor bolt 14 after the capsule has been broken and encourage mixing. In particular, the regions of the ribs 40.1, 40.2, 44.1, 44.2 proximate end points 58 have a steeper angle and facilitate or encourage mixing of the chemical adhesive whereas regions proximate the mid-points 56 facilitate an enhanced bond between the chemical adhesive and the anchor bolt 14, 72. Thus, a greater force is required to break the bond between the chemical adhesive and the anchor bolt 14 when the ribs lie at a flatter angle than when the ribs 40.1, 40.2, 44.1, 44.2 are at a greater angle.
As the anchor bolt 14 has ribs 40.1, 40.2 and ribs 44.1, 44.2 which are orientated in opposed directions, it is believed that it is an advantage of the anchor bolt 14 that it may be rotated either clockwise or anticlockwise into the bore 20. Accordingly, the anchor bolt 14 can be used with conventional apparatus for inserting conventional anchor bolts into bores in both a clockwise or anticlockwise direction. It is further believed, that the ribs 40.1, 44.1 and the ribs 40.2, 44.2 which have different heights 52, 54 respectively and which alternate in height along the ribbed portion 18, 70 provide enhanced operating characteristics for the anchor bolts 14, 72. In particular, the alternating height of the adjacent ribs 40.1, 40.2 and the ribs 44.1, 44.2 result in a chemical bond in the bore 20 which is not just between immediately adjacent ribs as in the case of conventional anchor bolts, but the bond is spread between spaced corresponding ribs 40.2 and 44.2.
Accordingly, unlike a conventional anchor bolt where a bond is localised between two adjacent ribs, the height difference between the immediately adjacent ribs 40.1, 40.2 and 44.1, 44.2 allows the bond to spread between the corresponding spaced ribs 40.2 and 44.2 thereby enhancing the bond.
Accordingly, the anchor bolt 14 may be rotated into the bore 20 in either a clockwise or anticlockwise direction and still effect mixing or activation of a chemical adhesive 60 as described in more detail below.
Referring in particular to Figures 7 to 1 1 of the drawings, reference numeral 70 generally indicates a ribbed portion of a further embodiment of an anchor bolt 72 in accordance with the invention. The rib portion 70 resembles rib portion 18 of the anchor bolt 14 and, accordingly, like reference numerals have been used to indicate the same or similar features unless otherwise indicated.
Unlike the ribbed portion 18 which has its ribs 40.1, 40.2 and its ribs 44.1, 44.2 orientated in opposed directions, the ribs 40.1, 40.2 and the ribs 44.1, 44.2 of the ribbed portion 70 are orientated in a similar fashion. In the embodiment depicted in Figures 7 to 1 1 of the drawings, the ribs 40.1, 40.2 and 44.1, 44.2 are orientated in a similar fashion as a right hand external screw-thread but, it is to be appreciated, that the ribs 40.1, 40.2 and 44.1, 44.2 may be orientated in a left hand external screw-thread fashion. As in the case of the ribbed portion 18, the pitch of the ribbed portion 70 of the anchor bolt 72 is also 14 as shown by arrow 62. Further, the ribs 40.1, 40.2, 44.1, 44.2 are generally orientated at an angle of about 65 degrees (see arrow 64) relative to the longitudinal ridges 32, 34.
In use, the curved nature of the ribs 40.1, 40.2, 44.1, 44.2 facilitates mixing of the chemical adhesive which typically secures the anchor bolt 14 in the bore 20. The chemical adhesive may be any conventional chemical adhesive such as resin or grout which requires an activation compound to initialize hardening. The chemical adhesive is typically provided in the form of a capsule and, accordingly, the anchor bolt 14 includes a V-shaped end 74 (see Figure 1 ) to break the capsule and thereby initiate setting. The curved ribs 40.1, 40.2, 44.1, 44.2 displace the chemical adhesive upon rotation of the anchor bolt 14 after the capsule has been broken and encourage mixing. In particular, the regions of the ribs 40.1, 40.2, 44.1, 44.2 proximate end points 58 have a steeper angle and facilitate or encourage mixing of the chemical adhesive whereas regions proximate the mid-points 56 facilitate an enhanced bond between the chemical adhesive and the anchor bolt 14, 72. Thus, a greater force is required to break the bond between the chemical adhesive and the anchor bolt 14 when the ribs lie at a flatter angle than when the ribs 40.1, 40.2, 44.1, 44.2 are at a greater angle.
As the anchor bolt 14 has ribs 40.1, 40.2 and ribs 44.1, 44.2 which are orientated in opposed directions, it is believed that it is an advantage of the anchor bolt 14 that it may be rotated either clockwise or anticlockwise into the bore 20. Accordingly, the anchor bolt 14 can be used with conventional apparatus for inserting conventional anchor bolts into bores in both a clockwise or anticlockwise direction. It is further believed, that the ribs 40.1, 44.1 and the ribs 40.2, 44.2 which have different heights 52, 54 respectively and which alternate in height along the ribbed portion 18, 70 provide enhanced operating characteristics for the anchor bolts 14, 72. In particular, the alternating height of the adjacent ribs 40.1, 40.2 and the ribs 44.1, 44.2 result in a chemical bond in the bore 20 which is not just between immediately adjacent ribs as in the case of conventional anchor bolts, but the bond is spread between spaced corresponding ribs 40.2 and 44.2.
Accordingly, unlike a conventional anchor bolt where a bond is localised between two adjacent ribs, the height difference between the immediately adjacent ribs 40.1, 40.2 and 44.1, 44.2 allows the bond to spread between the corresponding spaced ribs 40.2 and 44.2 thereby enhancing the bond.
