ABSTRACT:
The invention comprises an apparatus for carrying, advancing and retracting a conveyor in a mine. The invention eliminates the need for separate storage of unused conveyor material and provides a conveyor which can be either advanced or retracted at will and while loaded and operating. The invention comprises a monorail fixed to the roof of a mining tunnel, an elongate truss assembly movably suspended from the monorail, and a conveyor carried by the truss assembly. The monorail defines the path of travel for the truss and the position of the conveyor can be advanced and retracted within the tunnel by advancing or retracting the truss along the monorail.
