摘要:
A holder for a pick and the combination of a pick and holder. The pick (1) has a shank (4) received in a socket (6) of a holder (2). The holder (2) carries in its socket (6) a tubular spigot (13) which mates in sealed manner with a coupling socket (15) in the pick shank to provide communication for water flow from a supply passage (16a) through the pick (1) to outlet ports (12). A shoulder (8) on the spigot (13) abuts a sealing ring (18) in the coupling socket (15) to retain the pick in the holder and permit relative longitudinal displacement therebetween. Carried by the tubular spigot (13) is a valve having an actuating rod (22) which extends through the bore of the spigot A valve head (24) on the rod (22) is seatable on a shoulder 123a) to close off water flow through the bore of the spigot. The end (26) of the rod (22) abuts the pick and during displacement of the pick into its holder in response to cutting engagement of the pick with the mineral, the valve head (24) is displaced to permit water flow to the ports (12). When the pick disengages from the mineral, water pressure on the pick and valve head (24) closes the valve head to seal against the shoulder (23a).

Mineral mining apparatus comprisng a pick head 1 mounted on a pick holder 4 for displacement of a cutting part 5 in the direction of arrow A has a none 9 in the head 1 through which nozzle water is sprayed to dust suppression, cooling or flushing purposes. The characteristics of the nozzle 9 provide the spray 22 with a flat einfiguration where the width y of the spray is greater than its depth x. Preferably the width y lies in the cutting plane 20 of the cutting part and the spray follows the cutting part to deviate incendive sparking. In a modification the nozzle 9 can be mounted on the holder 4.
摘要:
The combination of a mineral mining pick and a pick holder. The pick (1) has a shank (4) by which it is received in a socket (6) of a pick holder (2). Extending within the socket (6) is a spigot (13) which mates with a coupling socket (14) in the shank (4) automatically as the shank is inserted into the pick holder. During insertion of the spigot (13) into the socket (14), a frusto conical head (26) on the spigot passes through a resilient ring (25) mounted in an annular recess (24) of the coupling socket so that abutment of a shoulder (27) on the head (26) against the ring (25) retains the pick in the holder. The spigot (13) may be tubular to provide a watercoupl- ing from chamber (23) in the holder to passage (11) and ports (12) in the pick forflushing, cooling or dust suppression water supply. The resilient retaining ring (25) may provide a water seal between the spigot (13) and the socket (14). In an alternative arrangementthe spigot can be carried by the shank (4) to engage in a coupling socket in the holder (2).
