ABSTRACT:
A conveyor system for use with a continuous mining machine in a straight line shaft includes a plurality of cable support members equally spaced along the length of the conveyor within the mine shaft and an adjustable conveyor belt storage device located externally of the shaft for adjusting the length of the conveyor belt within the shaft. Each of the support members is connected to a pair of cables at equally spaced locations, and a power operated winch unit is mounted externally of the mine shaft for paying out and retracting the cables and the support members attached thereto. The winch unit and the conveyor belt storage unit are mounted on a common platform. A first plurality of hydraulic jacks is provided for leveling the platform on uneven terrain and a second plurality of hydraulic jacks is mounted on the platform for engagement with the face of the mine on opposite sides of the shaft to align the conveyor belt in the shaft and to assist in withdrawal of the supports from the shaft.
