Abstract: A haulage unit of a coal-getting machine comprises a drive (1) an output shaft of which is associated with a conveyor (2) through the medium of a kinematic linkage. The kinematic linkage incorporates a sprocket (3) installed on the output shaft and meshing elements (4) coming in mesh with teeth of the sprocket (3). The meshing elements (4) are installed for rotation about the axis thereof and for a limited longitudinal displacement in a guide (5). The guide (5) is essentially presented by links articulated to one another. Each link is installed on a carrying element (7) secured on the conveyor (2) and is formed by two arcuate elements (8,9) facing each other by concave portions thereof, and connected in a diametrical plane by at least two fastening members (10) so that a clearance (11) is formed between the arcuate elements. Each fastening member (10) mounts the meshing element (4) in the form of a rolling body.

Abstract: A chainless feed system of a mining cutter-loader comprises a guiding rack mounted on a conveyer and meshing with gears rotatably mounted on the cutter-loader. The gears are operatively connected through a rotating mechanism with the hydraulic cylinders operable for rolling the gears along the guiding rack. The improvement of the rotating mechanism includes a carrier with a pawl adapted to engage the gear or come out of engagement therewith. For this purpose the pawl is pivotally mounted on the carrier which is operatively connected with the hydraulic cylinders arranged in opposition with respect to the pawl.
