WWWWHHM- Tm H W Patented Jan. 7, 1930 mrrn STATES CORNELIUS 'M. MURPHY, or' commute," MINNESOTA CABLE STORAGE Application filed De-cember'29; 1927.*S,eria1 Noi 2423;462,
This invention pertains to cablestorage conveyors, and more particularly to cable conveyors for electric shovels.
In the operation of cutting tools, electric 3 shovels and'the likein open'pit mines, it is customary'to furnish power to the tools from a substation, located near thecenter of distribution from whichthe current is carried to the tools by aportable' cable or conduit or 1 0 other deviceof'suitable design. As the tool proceeds along its working cut, it is of course necessary to provide additional lengths 1 of cable, which has heretofore beendone by mounting a reel on the -rear ofthe'tool on F15 which the desired length of conduitwas wound. This, however, is not entirely satisfactory on account of the difficulty of supporting a reel of the necessary capacity because of its size and lack of suitable mounting space, especially with revolving shovels tobe used in constricted cuts.
It is therefore an objectof this invention to provide a convenient, inexpensive and safe traveling cable supporting carrier which fulfills all requirements of manufacture and service.
Another object is to provide a conductor carrier'for operating tools which enablesthe conductor to be so disposed that the tools may bereadily used and operated to and in restrictedp'oints or cuts.
A further objectisto provide a traveling Figure 2 is a top plan view of thecable boat with aportibn' of the to eat awayyshowir ig the mounting of the conductor"therein;- and V Figure 3 'is a transverse vertical section through the cable boatand'top, the same being taken substantially in the plane as indicated by theline '3-'-3 ofFigure 1.
The cableboat 10, preferably of' steel," consists essentially of abase-or cable' ca'rrying floor including cross-members '11,'Tpreferably longitudinally reenforced "by means of runners 12 of any suitable 'shapeyshowmas T-bulbs, the same being curved upwardly at their forward ends 13 and curvedslightlyfupwardly attheirafter' ends 14 tofi'nsurefeasy sliding of'the boat in operation, Steel sides 15" are secured to the floor and bracedby spaced transversely' and vertically extending stanchions 16 extending substantially to the top of said sides, each of the'sides being pro vided' along "the top edge thereof with a transversely "projecting roof supporting member 17 The forward and'after'ends of the "boat arepreferably open or semi-open, the forward end being provi'ded with a cable guard '18 offany suitable material adapted to direct the cable to the operating tool.
The fsides "are further -"provided with brackets 19 "secured atthe forward end and attached to the tool preferably*by means-of adjustable chain connections 20. Suitable links 'orbrackets 21" may also be provided on the'sides atselectedpl'aces"'a1ongfthe' length of the boat for the 1 purpose" of lifting-the boat to facilitate its transportation or manipulation. Hookshapedbrackets 22 may besecured atthe after end ofthe sides adjacent the top for'the purpose of engaging the rear edge of the roof to prevent'the s'a me 'from being detached from theboat, leaving the c'ond-uctor 29'unprotected,
The roof or'top 23 maybe of any construction, suclr as pointed or 'ridged'as 'shown-,'the same being overlapping with" respect'to the sides 15and provided with suitably positioned angle members 24 adaptedto cooperate with the members 17to' transversely position said roof. The roof maybe "of anyply and provided with transverse straps l 25 and longitudinally'- extending lifting handles "26," said roof being preferably finished by forward -and= after -slop'ing pdrtions-28"and-27;
The cable or conductor 29, it is understood, is secured at one end 30 to the point of energy transmission such as a substation, said cable being coiled a suitable number of times within the boat to provide the desired length of cable, the tool end 31 of said cable extending through the cable guard and forwardly to the tool.
In operation then, it is only necessary to direct the tool along any out desired, the tool dragging the boat along with it and the cable paying out of the after end of the boat. It will be seen that this construction is very satisfactory and is very practical as thecable is completely guarded both by the sides and the roof which exclude rain and snow as well as protect any individuals adjacent thereto from coming into contact with the cable.
It is to be understood that I do not wish to be limited by the exact embodiment of the device shown, which is merely by way of illustration and not limitation, as various and other forms of the device will of course readily occur to those skilled in the art.
I claim:
1.
