  • Publication number: 20080012418
    Abstract: A baseplate plow with a multipart baseplate including a middle baseplate part connected to a plow body and two outer baseplate parts connected movably to the middle baseplate part. Guide blocks at a packing-side end of each baseplate part guide the baseplate in chain guide channels. Two chain blocks for connecting the plow pull chain are formed on a push member which is inserted into a recess at the packing-side end of the middle baseplate part, the recess being delimited in each of two running directions of the baseplate plow by a block part including a guide block and a stop surface for the push member.

  • Patent number: 7303352
    Abstract: A connection device for a plow installation, the device including a connection bracket having a basic body operable for attachment to a channel or guide section of the plow installation. A joint socket in the basic body includes a socket portion operable to receive a joint head of a boom cylinder. First and second legs are arranged in parallel and separated by a predetermined distance, with each leg including an inside portion and an outside portion. First and second supporting webs are located on the outside portions of the first and second legs, respectively. First and second bolt holes are located in the first and second legs, respectively, with a diameter of each bolt hole increasing from the inside portion of each leg to the outside portion. A joint bolt is located in the first and second bolt holes, and a clamping piece is located in each bolt hole.

  • Publication number: 20070205007
    Abstract: A baseplate plow guide section for guiding a baseplate plow The baseplate plow guide section includes a guide element arranged on a packing side of a conveyor trough delimited by lateral profiles and a return trough delimited by trough profiles of a conveyor. The guide element has an upper chain channel and a lower chain channel provided with a guide slot for the plow baseplate. Reception pockets for toggle heads of connecting toggles for connection of adjacent baseplate plow guide sections are formed on the guide element. The guide element includes a casting which extends over a length of the baseplate plow guide section and on which the reception pockets and/or the packing-side trough profile of the return trough and/or a guide part for the plow baseplate of the baseplate plow are cast as integral components.

  • Publication number: 20070090677
    Abstract: A mining plow with a plow basic body which can be guided on a conveyor and which has on an inclined bearing surface a pivoting bolt for the pivotable mounting of a cutter carrier for each plow travel direction Two cutter carriers are mounted pivotably on respective pivoting bolts by a pivot bearing such that each cutter carrier is guided on a pivoting surface oriented concentrically about the pivot axis of the associated pivoting bolt and formed below the bearing surface on the plow basic body. The pivot bearing of each cutter carrier includes an open-edged receptacle, each cutter carrier being located on the pivoting bolt parallel to the bearing surface in a pivoting mounting position.
