Apparatus for transporting and facilitating the assembly of support material

摘要

The transport and assembly of support material in particular in advancing roadways in underground mining is facilitated and made safer by a transport rail (17) being allocated to the actual working platform (8) or the frame (4) carrying it, which transport rail (17) is designed so as to be movable on the actual rail (6) of the monorail conveyor, and allocated to the transport rail (17) is the holder (15), accommodating the support segments, in the form of a trolley (16) movable on the transport rail (17). If the working platform (8) is moved over the the frame (4) of the rail of the monorail conveyor, the transport rail (17) with the trolley (16) attached to it, or the holder (15), is thus also displaced at the same time. Independently of this, or also at the same time, the trolley (16) can be moved on the transport rail (17) in such a way that the support material can in each case be taken into the face area without further intermediate devices. <IMAGE>
