Description
'.Patented Mar. 6,1923.k r
f fappliatioii sied` N 'ovember 5', 1921,'t
zen f the UnitechSta-tesyand residentof Jonesville,` -in thexcountyfof L'ee and Stateof Virginia, -have inventedcertain new 'fand useful mprovements in Shovels, of which the follow-ing isfa specification.
This invention relates to shovelsv especiallyl adapted fo'rcremoving the dustfcaused *by l0 cuttingmachines used in coal mines.
In coalmining an electric machine is em-` ployed for providing a-space beneath alarge quantityy of'coal so f that when the coalvis blasted it will drop through this space and thereby' bebroken up. f
i The machine employed for forming this space beneath a quantity of coal to be blasts' ed causes a large quantity of dust which must be removed beforel'the blasting operation takes place. n This dust must be removed prior to the blasting as otherwise itwould form acushion for the blasted coal and the coal would not be broken up but Wouldn merely settle on the cushion of dust; Furthermore this dust must be removed prior to blastingto prevent a fire or coal dust eX-` plosion.
No special'means are novv providedor this y dust removing operation s and have therefore provided `a shovel capable ofl in- Sertion into the space formed by the drilling machine and said shovel is ,provided with simplemeans to liftand removeA the dust.k
' vA furtherobject ofthe invention is to pro-- vide a shovel as described which is of, highly simplified construction, simple to 1^ operate and cheapto-manufacture.
- Other objects and advantages of the-invention will be apparent during'thecourse of the following description. 1
part of this application'y and in which like numerals are employed to designate lili parts-throughout the same,` Y 45 F'gure l is `a sideelevation of the im'- proved shovel in use.-` p l v Figure. 2 is a' fragmentary perspective of the shovel.
Figure v3 is a verticaltransverse sectionalk View ythrough the blade of. the shovel. Iny the drawing wherein for the purpose of illustration is shown a preferredembodipanying drawing, it `willbe apparentH tha` a .shovel constructed in accordance Qvvith 'this invention Will' fact *asfa .expeditious means., for removing dust ,'romthelspae beneathf the coal andit willalsofbeapparent that by 1 li the "numeral,y 5 f. desig nates ai -:blade formed blank of metal' f d arranged betvvee'n" the loi'igituvdinalv edges of the same andreceivesthefforyvardfportion f 'of ahandle 110. Suitableyfastening'devices 1 2 aregextended throughthe ferrule rand thel forward portion of the .handle to prevent the handle fronibeing accidentally disconneotedi' '1 c The dust'lt tobe removed by the shovel isv of course mountedon the shovel and when the shovel -is .Withdrawnz'from-the' space l5 beneath thevbody of coal 18v the jdust also* will ybe Withdrawn. .It-Will be .observed tli'atthe portion of the blade at the side of the erruleg-S. also provides f a dustv supportingsurface and the dust mounted on the space laterally of the errule 8 causes `the shovel tol beoverbalanced ,ony that side,v
By" reason of the blade may be introduced intel-sockets 2()- a'ndfige I `nited soasto blast the coal.v hen'the coal 901 v spacel and is'therebybroken up.

"VVhen,thespace beneath-the bodyocoal' I l8`hasbeen'formedgla quantityiof explosives reason of the shovel being overbalanced on one side the material may be readily discharged. j f
In practice the handle 10 may bensed as a tamping bar for jacking mud or,l the like in the hole 20 subsequent to placing an exn plosive Within the hole. n
yHaving thus described the invention, rwhat is claimed is l. A shovel 'lor use in coal mining, comprising a flat blade having its rear portion1 formed with a transverse incision defining va f partly severed portion rolled to provide a 'ferrnle and av handlepositioned in said fein' f rule.
