  • Patent number: 9903203
    Abstract: A longitudinally yieldable support for underground roof support includes first and second outer shell portions having a first wall thickness and a third outer shell portion having a second wall thickness that is greater than the first wall thickness. The support is filled with a solid compressible filler material. At least one air ventilation tube extends between opposite sides of the third outer shell portion to allow a flow of air through the support as the first and second outer shell portions and filler material therein yield under load.

  • Publication number: 20170130580
    Abstract: A longitudinally yieldable support for underground roof support includes a first support section with a first elongate outer shell partially filled with a solid compressible filler material and a second support section at least partially filled with a second solid compressible filler material. The second support section is at least partially disposed within the first elongate outer shell and is telescopically extendable relative thereto. A bladder is interposed between the first and second support sections that is fillable in situ to cause extension of the second support section relative to the first support section when filled under pressure with a filler material.

  • Patent number: 9347316
    Abstract: A longitudinally yieldable support for underground roof support includes a first support section with a first elongate outer shell filed with a solid compressible filler material and a second support section filled with a second solid compressible filler material with a second elongate outer shell extending above the first elongate outer shell. The second support section has density that is greater than a density of the first solid compressible filler material. A pair of attachment members are coupled to the second elongate outer shell and are configured for lifting the second elongate outer shell relative to the first elongate outer shell and for securing the second elongate outer shell relative to the first elongate outer shell once lifted.
