Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
187 words
An apparatus for automatic bolting in rock reinforcement operations, the apparatus comprising a supply beam (6), which carries a drill (3), an injector, a bolting machine (5), a working position adjustment device (9) which has sockets (10, 11, 12) for accommodating a drill bit (13), the forward end of the hose (14) of the injector, a bolt, and a positioning rod (15) which is fixedly mounted at the forward end of the supply beam and is brought into abutment with the rock face for directing, by means of the apparatus, in sequence, the drill bit, the hose and the bolt at a point on the rock face for the purposes of accomplishing the rock reinforcement operation, characterized in that a machine carriage (7), which during operation is adapted to accommodate the drill (3) or the bolting machine (5), is movable along the supply beam (6), and that a linear machine shifter switch (8), by means of which the drill (3) and the bolting machine (5) are insertable on the machine carriage (7), is shiftably disposed along and lockable on the supply beam (6) for different bolt lengths.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
187 words
An apparatus for automatic bolting in rock reinforcement operations, the apparatus comprising a supply beam (6), which carries a drill (3), an injector, a bolting machine (5), a working position adjustment device (9) which has sockets (10, 11, 12) for accommodating a drill bit (13), the forward end of the hose (14) of the injector, a bolt, and a positioning rod (15) which is fixedly mounted at the forward end of the supply beam and is brought into abutment with the rock face for directing, by means of the apparatus, in sequence, the drill bit, the hose and the bolt at a point on the rock face for the purposes of accomplishing the rock reinforcement operation, characterized in that a machine carriage (7), which during operation is adapted to accommodate the drill (3) or the bolting machine (5), is movable along the supply beam (6), and that a linear machine shifter switch (8), by means of which the drill (3) and the bolting machine (5) are insertable on the machine carriage (7), is shiftably disposed along and lockable on the supply beam (6) for different bolt lengths.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
62 words
The apparatus as recited in claim 1, characterized in that it comprises a first piston and cylinder assembly (16) by means of which the three working positions of the working position adjustment device are set, and a second piston and cylinder assembly (17) which is operative to move the drill (3) and the bolting machine (5) to and from their working positions.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
44 words
The apparatus as recited in claim 1 or 2, characterized in that the injector has a hose insertion device (4) which feeds the hose (14) into the hole drilled by the drill bit (13) for the purposes of carrying out injection into the hole.
