Abstract: A mining conveyor assembly of the kind comprising a conveyor which, in the use of the assembly, extends alongside a mine face. The conveyor comprises an elongate wall connected to and upstanding from the conveyor on the goaf side thereof, and a fence structure secured to the assembly in spaced relation to the wall member to provide a trough, in which the cable or cables supplying services to a mining machine, which travels along a trackway afforded by the conveyor assembly, is received as the machine traverses backwardly and forwardly along the trackway.The fence structure is yieldable to externally applied forces, preferably both in a direction laterally of the fence structure, and also in a direction extending longitudinally of the fence structure. In this manner, tendency of the cable or cables to become damaged, during operation, may be minimized.
