Abstract: A cable bolt assembly incorporating a head that distributes loads and minimizes the risk of potential failure caused by cable bolt head protrusion through the load bearing plate due to plate deformation. A flush seat cable bolt head includes a tapered nose portion, a flush seating portion that acts to distribute loads and a head portion of any geometrical consideration, either external or internal that is used to drive the head.
Abstract: Improved roof cable bolts with reduced protrusion from a mine roof. Particularly, a roof cable bolt head can preferably be dimensioned such that most of its length fits inside a drilled hole in the mine roof.
