ABSTRACT:
A mine support post having a yieldable mine post construction, made of metal and in telescoping form. The post of the invention comprises a pair of mutually telescoping metal post lengths. The innermost tubular post length has a medial bubble portion of enlarged girth which is oversize relative to the nominal inside diameter of the outermost tubular post length. The result, consequently, is not only to increase the frictional resistance between the post lengths but also to create a bubble zone characterized by elastic/plastic mutually inter-cooperating radial deformation and elastic stress-loading of the telescoping post construction, for further progressively increasing resistance of the composite post structure to compression end loading of such post. The yieldable mine post construction can be made adjustable and also radially preloaded and preset for immediate, desired load resistance. In a preferred form, the mine post has as a medial bubble portion a separate part pre-inserted in the outermost tubular post length, with the post lengths being severable, together with a threaded adjustment member provided, for ease of transport.
