Abstract:
A fish hauling device, including a rope, a plurality of hooks, and a sleeve, including a body comprising a hollow cylinder, a plurality of rope attachment apertures disposed at a first end of the body to allow the rope to be attached thereto, and a plurality of slots to disposed at a second end of the body to allow the plurality of hooks to be attached thereto.
Abstract:
A drilling tool incorporating first and second ends, a shaft extending between the ends. The first end has a drill bit to penetrate rock. The drill bit and the shaft have complementary threads. The drill bit and the shaft comprise a relative rotation stop means that ensures that the drill bit remains loose during drilling in a first direction. The invention further relates to a self drilling rock bolt, a drill bit, drill shaft and shaft coupling, an anchoring device, and an end coupling per se.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a rock bolt comprising first and second ends, a shaft extending between the ends, and an anchoring device extending along a first part of the shaft adjacent the first end. The anchoring device comprises a mandrel, and at least one expansion element overlaying the mandrel. The expansion element is displaced radially outwardly on a predetermined relative movement between the mandrel and the expansion element. The expansion element is joined to a connector to form an anchor assembly. The anchor assembly is keyed to the mandrel. The anchor assembly comprises relative rotation actuator means active during rotation of the anchoring device. The invention further relates to an anchoring device per se.
Abstract:
A self drilling rock bolt incorporating a shaft and an anchoring device. A first end of the bolt has a drill tip to penetrate rock and a second end is adapted to be connected to a drilling apparatus to allow rotation of, and thrust to, the bolt. A circulation passage is provided to allow fluid to be passed to the drill tip and in one form a central passage is formed in the shaft to form part of this circulation passage. The anchoring device is operative to retain the bolt when located in a drilled hole and comprises a mandrel having one or more inclined external surface mounted to, or integrally formed with, the shaft and at least one expansion element overlaying the mandrel. The expansion element(s) is displaced radially outwardly on a predetermined relative movement between the mandrel and the element.
Abstract:
A hollow rock bolt comprising a shaft having a spiral form protruding from the exterior surface of the shaft, wherein the spiral form has a flank angle of between 30° and 60°.
Abstract:
A cutting pick comprising a cutting tip 10 formed such as from SiC-D and a metal pick body 11. The pick body 11 has a greater coefficient of thermal expansion than the cutting tip 10. The pick body 11 includes a generally cylindrical cavity 14 within which is received a generally cylindrical anchor portion 13. The tip 10 includes a coating 17 bonded to the outer surface of the anchor portion 13. An annulus 24 is left between the coating 17 and the cavity 14 within which is a solder or braze material which bonds to each of the coating 17 and the cavity 14. The pick body 11 employs the difference in thermal expansion to exert pressure on the anchor portion 13 to fix the tip 10 to the pick body 11.

Abstract:
A cutting pick comprises an elongate shank and a cutting tip mounted to one end of the shank. The cutting tip has a leading end, a trailing end and a mounting portion for mounting to the shank. The tip has a shape such that it diverges outwardly in a direction from the leading end to the trailing end to a portion of maximum diameter. An annular sleeve is attached about the shank adjacent to and in non-contacting relationship with the trailing end of the cutting tip. The maximum diameter of the cutting tip is of greater diameter than the diameter of the inner diameter of the annular sleeve so that the portion of maximum diameter overlies the sleeve radially.
Abstract:
A drill bit (11) for attachment to an elongate drill rod (10), the drill bit (11) including means for attachment to an end of the drill rod, and a leading end which defines a pair of diametrically opposed slots (16, 17) which open axially for receipt of a portion of a drill tip (18) which projects axially from the slots (16, 17). The drill tip (18) being fixedly secured within each of the slots (16, 17). Further, a drill rod or a self drilling roof bolt comprising the above drill bit (11).
