Abstract
Description
- The present application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 61/388,789, filed Oct. 1, 2010, entitled “Roof and Rib Support Having Reverse C-channel”, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The support member relates generally to mine surface control and, more particularly, to a mine roof and rib support with a roof support arm and a rib support arm which simultaneously support the mine roof and mine rib.
- 2. Description of Related Art
- Mine roof and rib supports are commonly used in underground mining, excavating, and tunneling operations to support and control the overhead and lateral rock strata. In one conventional mine surface control system, a series of bore holes can be drilled into the mine roof or rib; a mine roof bolt can be installed in the bore hole; a channel, bearing plate, or mat can be positioned between the end of the mine roof bolt; and the mine roof or rib, and the mine roof bolt can be anchored in the bore hole and tensioned, such that the mine roof bolt and channel, bearing plate, or mat exert a compressive force upon the mine roof and rib to prevent deterioration of the overhead and lateral rock strata. One example of a roof and rib support system is disclosed in U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2010/0054870, incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
- One embodiment of the invention is directed to a mine roof and rib support including a support member having a roof support arm and a rib support arm, wherein the roof support arm is provided at an angle to the rib support arm, and the roof support arm defines an aperture for receiving a mine roof bolt. The support member defines a channel having an opened side and front side surface opposite the opened side, the opened side having an opened side surface and two legs extending from the opened side surface to contact the mine roof surface and the mine rib surface. A curved junction portion may be included between the roof support arm and the rib support arm. In one embodiment, a bearing plate defining a through-hole could be positioned on the front side surface of the roof support arm, wherein the bearing plate through-hole is operatively aligned with the roof support arm aperture, and the mine roof bolt extends through the through-hole and the roof support arm aperture to compress the bearing plate against the support member. The bearing plate could be a C-channel bearing plate, wherein the roof support aim is nested within the C-channel bearing plate, or the bearing plate could be a flat bearing plate. The roof support arm could define a second aperture for receiving a second mine roof bolt. In this configuration, the mine roof and rib support could include two bearing plates, each defining a through-hole and positioned on the front side surface of the roof support arm, wherein the bearing plate through-holes are operatively aligned with the roof support arm apertures, and the mine roof bolts extend through the through-holes and the roof support arm apertures to compress the bearing plates against the support member. At least one of the bearing plates could be a C-channel bearing plate, wherein the roof support arm is nested within the C-channel bearing plate. Also, at least one of the bearing plates could be a flat bearing plate.
- Another embodiment of the present invention is directed to a method of manufacturing a mine roof and rib support. This method could include bending an elongated member defining a channel having an opened side and front surface opposite the opened side, the opened side having an opened side surface and two legs extending from the opened side surface, such that the elongated member comprises a support member having a mine roof support arm and mine rib support arm provided in an angular orientation, with the opened side being on an outside of the mine roof and rib support arms and the front surface being on an inside of the mine roof and rib support arms and providing an aperture on the roof support arm. Bending may include providing a curved junction portion between mine roof and rib support arms.
- Yet another embodiment of the present invention is directed to a method of supporting a rock formation. This method includes positioning a support member comprising a roof support arm, a rib support arm, the roof support arm provided at an angle to the rib support arm, wherein the roof support arm defines an aperture for receiving a mine roof bolt, the support member defining a channel having an opened side and front side surface opposite the opened side, the opened side having an opened side surface and two legs extending from the opened side surface, such that the support member legs contact a mine roof surface and a mine rib surface and extending a mine roof bolt through the roof support arm aperture into engagement with the rock formation. Prior to positioning the support member, the method could include bending the support member to provide the rib support arm at an angle to the roof support arm and bending could include providing a curved junction portion between mine roof and rib support arms. A bearing plate defining a through-hole therethrough could also be positioned against the roof support arm, wherein the through-hole is aligned with the roof support arm aperture, and the mine roof bolt is extended through the through-hole and the roof support arm aperture. The bearing plate could be a C-channel plate nested with the roof support arm. The bearing plate could be compressed against the roof support arm, such as, for example, by torquing the mine roof bolt against the bearing plate. A second bearing plate defining a through-hole therethrough could also be positioned against the roof support arm, wherein the second bearing plate through-hole is aligned with a second roof support arm aperture defined in the roof support arm, a second mine roof bolt is extending through the second roof support arm aperture into engagement with the rock formation.

FIG. 7 is a side view of the support member; and -
FIG. 8 is a plan schematic view illustrating embodiments of mine roof and rib support devices installed at the intersection of the mine roof and opposite sides/ribs of a mine work area. - A more complete understanding of the mine roof and rib support can be obtained by considering the following description in conjunction with the accompanying drawing figures. As used herein, the term “upwardly” shall refer to a direction with respect to a mine passageway which is oriented generally along the direction extending from the mine floor to the mine roof. The term “downwardly” shall refer to a direction with respect to a mine passageway which is oriented generally along the direction extending from the mine roof to the mine floor. The term “outwardly” shall refer to an orientation generally in transverse direction extending from the walls of the passageway to the mine passageway central longitudinal axis. The term “inwardly” shall refer to an orientation generally in transverse direction extending from the central longitudinal axis of the mine passageway to the walls of the mine passageway.
- Referring now to the figures in which like reference numbers refer to like elements, a perspective view of an embodiment of a mine roof and
rib support device 10 is shown inFIGS. 1-3 , which can generally include asupport member 15 having aroof support arm 20 and arib support arm 25, whereinrib support arm 25 is provided at an angle to theroof support arm 20, with acurved junction portion 40 therebetween. Anaperture 30 may be provided through thesupport member 15 for receiving amine roof bolt 35 located on theroof support arm 20. Also, the mineroof support arm 20 may optionally comprise asecond aperture 32 for receiving a second mine roof bolt, as explained hereinbelow. - As shown in
FIGS. 1-4 , thesupport member 15 may include an openedside 22 having an openedside surface 24 and afront side surface 23, wherein openedside 22 includes twolegs 60 extending from openedside surface 24, thereby defining achannel 65 extending therethrough. As shown, the support member may be a bent C-channel havingcurved junction portion 40 between mineroof support arm 20 and minerib support arm 25 includinglegs 60 along the open portion of the C-channel. In use, thelegs 60 can be positioned against the rock formation, i.e., against mineroof 50 onroof support arm 20 and against minerib 55 onrib support arm 25 to contact mineroof 50 andrib 55, withflat front surface 65 facing away from themine roof 50 andrib 55, thereby providing a reverse C-channel configuration. In an alternative embodiment, thesupport member 15 may be a bent T-channel, manufactured by Jennmar Corporation, such as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,292,209, which is hereby incorporated by reference, with flange portions functioning aslegs 60, as shown inFIGS. 1-4 . In this embodiment, the flange portions include longitudinal edges, at least a portion of which are positioned against the surface of mineroof 50 and/orrib 55. - Referring specifically to
FIG. 4 , thesupport member 15 may be constructed or manufactured from an elongated, flat C-channel member, such as described above, which is bent to formroof support arm 20 andrib support arm 25 withcurved junction portion 40 therebetween, which is shown schematically. Thelegs 60 of the C-channel, as shown, will be on the outside ofcurved junction portion 40 ofsupport member 15, withflat front surface 65 being on the inside. Because thesupport member 15 is bent, such that thelegs 60 of the C-channel will be positioned on the outside of thesupport member 15; thesupport member 15 acts as a leaf spring when loaded with a deflection force. - As shown in
FIGS. 1 , 5 and 6, the mine roof andrib support device 10 may include abearing plate 75, which may, for example, be a C-channel bearingplate 75 into which the C-channel support member 15 may be nested. Thebearing plate 75 defines a through-hole 80. In use, thebearing plate 75 is positioned on the front side surface of the roof support arm, wherein the through-hole 80 is operatively aligned withaperture 30 of mineroof support arm 20, such thatbolt 35 can be inserted into through-hole 80 and aperture 30 through bothbearing plate 75 androof support arm 20. Thebolt 35 can then be torqued against thebearing plate 75 to compress the bearing plate against theroof support arm 20 ofsupport member 15, represented byforce vector 120 inFIG. 8 . Referring toFIG. 7 , in an alternative embodiment, the bearing plate may, alternatively, be a flat bearingplate 75 a. Theflat bearing plate 75 a may be used alone, or in conjunction with a nested C-channel bearing plate, such asbearing plate 77 illustrated inFIG. 7 . In this embodiment, asecond bearing plate 77 is positioned, such that a second through-hole 82 defined therethrough is operatively aligned with thesecond aperture 32 defined inroof support arm 20. In this manner, a second mine roof bolt 35 a may be extended through the through-hole 82 and the roofsupport arm aperture 32 to compress the bearingplate 77 against the support member. -
FIG. 8 schematically illustrates how the mine roof andrib support device 10 may be installed at each side of the mine tunnel. As shown, when the above-described mine roof andrib support device 10 is loaded with a deflection force in the horizontal direction, i.e., against therib support arm 25, thesupport member 15 will provide a resistance against the deflection force. The deflection force is illustrated byforce vector 125, which is opposite to theresistive force 125 a ofsupport member 15. The amount of resistance thesupport member 15 will supply in the horizontal direction is dependent on the anchor point of theroof support arm 20 to themine roof 50, for example,aperture 30, through whichbolt 35 will be secured intomine roof 50. Thesupport member 15 will provide greater resistance, the closer the anchor point is toward the inner radius ofcurved portion 40. As the anchor point is moved toward the radius ofcurved portion 40, a gusset-like effect occurs acrosscurved portion 40 providing additional support to thesupport member 15 and, in particular,rib support arm 25. Because bearingplate 75 is compressed againstroof support arm 20, theend 85 of bearingplate 75, nearestcurved portion 40, acts as the effective anchor point ofroof support arm 20 to mineroof 50, thereby, providing additional support torib support arm 25, allowingrib support arm 25 to receive greater deflection forces frommine rib 55. Because anchor points closer to the inner radius ofcurved portion 40 provide greater horizontal resistance, longer bearing plates which extend frombolt 35 toward radius ofcurved portion 40 increase the resistive strength ofsupport member 15.Aperture 30, which may be preexisting onsupport member 15, may be used with bearingplates 75 of increasing length, which would avoid the necessity to drill additional aperture inroof support arm 20 to move the anchor point of thesupport member 15 closer to the inner radius ofcurved portion 40. - The above-described mine roof and
rib support device 10 is particularly useful in mine entries in which the placement of horizontal bolts intorib support arm 25 is impossible due to space limitations. In certain situations, the mine roof andrib support device 10, including a C-channel support member 15, may be capable of bearing larger loads than that of similarly bent reinforced T-channel products. Also, a nesting C-channel bearing plate 75 provides two times the strength of using aflat bearing plate 75 a alone, according to the present invention. - What has been described above includes exemplary embodiments of a mine roof and rib support having a roof support arm and a rib support arm that can support both the roof and rib of the mine at the same time. It is, of course, not possible to describe every conceivable combination of components or methodologies for purposes of this description, but one of ordinary skill in the art may recognize that further combinations and permutations are possible in light of the overall teaching of this disclosure. Accordingly, the description provided herein is intended to be illustrative only and should be considered to embrace any and all alterations, modifications, and/or variations that fall within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.
