OFFICE B'Ihis invention relates to improvements :Lin-

Various powerlopera-ted. mining machines have been invented and are extensively "employed for coal mining, some of these are provided with cutter -,bars; that will undercut a coal-veinaand which can also be employed for makingvertical cutsuor'kerfsso as to divide the vein into 1 layers orsquares thatjean be readily broken, eitherrby means of explosives or some mechanical break-- ing: devices.
.At' present the trend 'for home consumption of fuel-:isiin the direction of: automatic coal stokers which require coal-of certain degrees of finenessand this has reduced the demand for Imperial. Where coal ismi nedin the form of-large lumps, it. must be crushed and screened in. order .tomake: it-suitable for StOkEI use. j

The con mctioni of the. machinevhas, to: same extent,
, been shown in a simplified manner so as to enable zt-he'essential kfeaturesvto be:more clearly disclosed. "Theirame'or carriage of the 'mining machine Pconsists oi side members l2 and suitable wtransverse members" i3. 'I'hewheels l I 4 have: beenv shown-as. independentlymounted on the frame for a purpose which will hereinafter appear. Supported on the carriage is a motor l5, which, in the present embodiment, has been shown as provided with a front transmission I6 and a rear transmission Gear shift levers l8 and I9 control the gear ratios in transmissions i6 and H, respectively. Ordinary clutches may be interposed between the engine and the transmissions, if desired in the manner in which such clutches are employed in connection with automotive vehicles. In the embodiment illustrated, power is transmitted from the" motor to the horizontal transverse shafts and 2| by means of suitable gears positioned in the transmission housings. These gears may .be either tions 36. The tops of the guide members are connected by means of a plate 31 that is secured in position by suitable bolts 38. Lifting screws 39 are journalled at the bottom and at the top in the parts designated by reference numerals 36 and 38.
Referring now more particularly to Figure 4, it will be seen that the vertical guides 33' and 34 are each provided on their front sides with dovetail slots 40. that serve as means for adjustably mounting the cutter head frame or assembly which will now be described.
The cutter head assembly has been shown as comprising a' supporting frame or steel casting the ordinary bevel gears, or of they worm gear has been secured. A conveyor belt encircles the rollers 23 and 24 and travels in the direction of the arrow when the conveyor is operated. The conveyor may terminate in an upwardly inclined conveyor 26, whose purpose is to elevate the coal to a sufficient height to deposit it in the mine 36 cars or trucks. p
The actual construction ofthe conveyor frame has been purposely omitted for the sake of simplicity as it is evident that the exact details of construction of the frame is not essential to a complete'understa'nding as such belt conveyors are well known and of many specifically different constructions.
Since it is necessary that the mining machine shall move in the'direction of thelength of the 5 .conveyor', while the latter remains stationary,a
means for transmitting power from the shaft 2| to the conveyor which will permit this relative movement, has been shown and will now be described. v
Secured to shaft 2| is a pulley 21 and secured to the under surface of the support frame member |2 are two idler pulleys 28 and 29. Another idler pulley 30 is secured to the conveyor frame. A suitable rope or V-belt-or sprocket chain like that designated by reference numeral 3|,- passes around the drive pulley 21 and over the idler 28, thence forwardly and around the idler 30, thence rearwardly and around the pulley 32',
' which is connected with the drive roller 24.
From here the belt returns to the drive pulley 21, after passing around the idler 29. It will be seen that by means of this-belt orrope drive, the length of the belt is not affected by the relathe conveyor and the latter can therefore re-' main stationary,"while the mining machine advances without in any way affecting the trans,- mission of power forthe operation of the conveyor.
Secured to the frameof the machine and extending vertically are 'two guides 33 "and'34; These guides are held in vertical position by means of diagonal braces 35 and are provided at" 4| having the general shape of a truncated isosceles triangle in the manner indicated in Figure 4. Adjacent the vertex, the frame is provided with laterally extending portions 42 having dovetail extensions 43 that engage in the slots 40. The lateral extensions are provided with notches 44 in which are positioned the nuts 45 that cooperate with the vertical screws 39.
The nuts are in the form of worm gears. A shaft 45 extends transversely and carries worms that cooperate with the worm gear nuts 45 in such a way that when shaft 46is rotated, it imparts a simultaneous and equal rotation to the worm gear nuts, thereby raising and lowering the frame with respect to the supporting guides. With this construction, thescrews 39 are held against rotation. The rear end of the casting 4| is provided with recesses 41 in which are located the worm gears 48 which are shown most clearly in Figure '7 A 'drive shaft 49 extends from the motor 50 and is provided with a worm 5| that is positioned between the two worm gears 48 and operatively connected with both. When".
I ever shaft 49 rotates, the worm gears 48 will turn in opposite directions and at the same speed. Vertical shafts 52' each carries a worm gear 48 that is nonrotatably connected therewith and each shaft also carries two sprocket wheels 53, one located above and the other below the worm gears 48. Cutter chains '54 are' connected with the sprocket chains in the manner shown in Figure 4 and move around the frames in opposite directions as will now'be described.
The front end of frame 4| is provided with vertically spaced bearing blocks55 and 56. 'On oppositesides of the .center line of the frame,
two shafts 51 and 58 are journaled in bearings in the bearing blocks 'and'are each provided with four sprocket wheels like those designated by tive longitudinal movement of the machine, and
Frame '4| is provided with a rearward extension that terminates in a platform 6| on which the motor 58 is supported. Motor 5| is provided with the ordinary motor controls and is of the type whose characteristics adapt it for this use. Particular attention is directed at this point to. the fact that by means of the construction. shown and described, the cutter head assembly 'can be lowered so as to bring the lower surface.

eAttentiomis fnrthercalled to therflcfithatgth:
' ner shown in Figure l, the center delivery of the coal is a desirable feature because it concentrates the stream of coal at the middle of the kerf or cut and delivers it onto the conveyor in the direction of the arrows.
In Figure 5, a transverse section taken on line 55, Figure 4, has been shown and in this section Z-b-ars 65 and especially constructed bars 66 of the shape shownhave been indicated so as to give support to the chains, if this should be found desirable or necessary. r
In the drawings and in this description the machine has been shown as mounted on tracks l0 and provided with flange wheels M. This is believed to be a desirable construction, butit can be replaced by means of the ordinary cater pillar treads, if desired.
Particular attention is called to the shape of" the cutter head assembly, to the unitary construction thereof and to the fact that the movement of the cutter chains andtheir relation to the cutter head assembly is such that the sides are always accessible in case repairs are needed and of the kerf or cut. 7 I
Particular attention is also directed to the fact the inclinedsides which provide the space between the sidewall 63 makes this space available for repairs, whereas if similarly shaped cutter triangle shape, a .hori-zontalrframe -for: support i-ngthe' chains moving said cutter: chains: ini opposite; directions with their aadjacent sides traveling .1 towards therrear whereby middle line; thereof; an'dzwhereby wedge-shaped spaces-willi'berprovided betweene the vertical walls;
