ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE

"MINE-ROOF SUPPORTS"

A mine-roof support has a roof-engageable member and two cantilevers, movable by rams, between housed positions substantially within the member and extended positions in which one cantilever projects from one end of the member and the other cantilever projects from the other end of the member.
In order to reduce the size of the support, the rams are inclined to the axis of the roof-engageable member, one ram being to one side of that axis and the other ram being to the other side of that axis.

l`h:Ls in~rention ~elateæ to m:ine-rooI suppox~t~3 such a~, for ex~lple, those which a~e used to support the roo~s of so-called pack~holes.
~ mine~roof support customarily co~pri~es a floor~
~nga~ing member, a roof-engageable member and hydraulic telescop-ic props by which the roo~-engageable member can be urgea away from the floor~eng~ging member into supporting contact with a roo~.

For some purposes, for example in th~ supporting of pac~holes, the roof-engageable ~ember has two cantile~ers which play a par-~ in ~upporting a roof~
~ .
~: 15 one o~ which can be e~tended from within the member .: outwardly beyond one end of the member b~ a ram hou~ed . ~ithin the member and the other of which can be extended : . from wi-thin the member outwardl~ beyond the other end of the mernber ~y another ram hou~ed within th~ ~ember.

In one known fo~m of mine-rooI support, the two cantile~ers and their-actuatj~sr ram~3 are arran~ed line, one a:~e~ the other~ beilg co~ l with ths ms~ r. ~his mean~ th~ the rool '~e~ i~ of ~l~bstanti~1.

the member and -the o~her being disposed near to the ~ 15 ~ther si.de sf the member. When all three ca~tile~ers : ~ are in their retracted positionB within the mem~er, the centrally~looated ona lies betwee~ the other t~o.

1. A mine-roof support the roof-engageable member of which has (i) a first cantilever movable between a housed position, substantially within the member, and an extended position projecting from one end of the member, (ii) a first ram for moving the first cantilever, which ram is inclined to the axis of the member and is offset to one side of that axis, (iii) a second cantilever, movable between a housed position, substantially within the member, and an extended position projecting from the other end of the member, and (iv) a second ram for moving the second cantilever, which ram is inclined to the axis of the member and is offset to the other side of at axis, (v) the two rams 3 when both cantilevers are in their extended positions, being (a) substantially side-by-side, one to one side of the axis of the member and the other to the other side of the axis of that member and (b) substantially parallel the one to the other, and (vi) each cantilever, in its housed position, (a) being alongside part of the ram which moves the other cantilever and (b) having part at least of its inner-most end-portion closely adjacent part at least of the innermost end-portion of the other cantilever.
2. A mine-roof support as claimed in Claim 1 wherein each cantilever is offset from the axis of the member, one to one side of that axis and the other to the other side of that axis.
3. A mine-roof support as claimed in Claim 1 wherein a ram is connected to the cantilever which it moves by a pivotal connection which is offset from the axis of the cantilever.
4. A mine-roof support as claimed in any of the preceding claims wherein a cantilever is inclined to the axis of the member when in its housed position.
