The support device 10 has an upper end 12 and a lower end 14 and comprises, broadly, a cup-shaped material supporting portion 16 defining a receptacle in which material is supported and an elongate shank portion 18 which extends from the material supporting portion.
The material supporting portion 16 is configured for holding at least part of the material to be supported in the drill hole. The shank portion 18 has a hollow, generally conical configuration and is configured for spacing the material supporting portion from the base of the drill hole as will be explained in further detail hereinbelow.
The shank portion has a distal end which defines the lower end 14 of the support device and which abuts the base of the drill hole, in use. The shank portion tapers from an upper region thereof proximate the material supporting portion towards the distal end
6 thereof. An internal space is defined within the shank portion. The shank portion defines an opening 20 at its distal end which leads into the internal space.
The shank portion has a generally conical side wall 22 which extends between the material supporting portion and the distal end of the shank portion. The side wall defines two openings 24 in a side of the shank portion within a region thereof near the material supporting portion.
The material supporting portion 16 includes a base wall 26, a cylindrical first side wall portion 28 which extends upwardly from the base wall 26 and a second frusto-conical side wall portion 30 which extends from an upper end of the first side wall portion 28.
More specifically, the second side wall portion 30 tapers from an upper end thereof towards a lower end thereof where it joins the first cylindrical side wall portion 28. The first and second side wall portions 28 and 30 define a number of circumferentially spaced slots 32 which extend longitudinally from an upper position at an upper end of the second side wall portion 30 to a lower position near the base wall 26 yet spaced therefrom. The slots 32 are open at the upper end of the second side wall portion 30.
The slots 32 divide the side wall portions 28 and 30 of the material supporting device into segments which extend between the slots and which are independently movable.
This construction of the material supporting device allows for resilient deformation of an upper region of the first side wall portion 28 and of the second side wall portion 30 in order to allow resilient deformation of the material supporting device upon insertion of the material supporting portion into a drill hole thereby to engage the wall of the drill hole. As such, an upper region of the first side wall portion 28 and the second side wall portion 30 and more specifically, the segments defined between these slots 32 provide wall engagement formations for engaging a wall of the drill hole in which the support device is positioned. It will be appreciated that the dimensions and more specifically, the diameter of the second side wall portion 30 is such that the diameter is slightly larger than the diameter of a drill hole in which the support device is to be inserted so that outer regions of the second side wall portion 30 engage the wall of the drill hole as the support device is inserted into the drill hole to a desired depth within the drill hole.
The shank portion has a generally conical side wall 22 which extends between the material supporting portion and the distal end of the shank portion. The side wall defines two openings 24 in a side of the shank portion within a region thereof near the material supporting portion.
The material supporting portion 16 includes a base wall 26, a cylindrical first side wall portion 28 which extends upwardly from the base wall 26 and a second frusto-conical side wall portion 30 which extends from an upper end of the first side wall portion 28.
More specifically, the second side wall portion 30 tapers from an upper end thereof towards a lower end thereof where it joins the first cylindrical side wall portion 28. The first and second side wall portions 28 and 30 define a number of circumferentially spaced slots 32 which extend longitudinally from an upper position at an upper end of the second side wall portion 30 to a lower position near the base wall 26 yet spaced therefrom. The slots 32 are open at the upper end of the second side wall portion 30.
The slots 32 divide the side wall portions 28 and 30 of the material supporting device into segments which extend between the slots and which are independently movable.

As such, an upper region of the first side wall portion 28 and the second side wall portion 30 and more specifically, the segments defined between these slots 32 provide wall engagement formations for engaging a wall of the drill hole in which the support device is positioned. It will be appreciated that the dimensions and more specifically, the diameter of the second side wall portion 30 is such that the diameter is slightly larger than the diameter of a drill hole in which the support device is to be inserted so that outer regions of the second side wall portion 30 engage the wall of the drill hole as the support device is inserted into the drill hole to a desired depth within the drill hole.
7 The material supporting portion 16 and the elongate shank 18 are in the form of separate members which are releasably connected to one another in an arrangement permitting separation of the material supporting portion from the shank portion. More specifically, the material supporting portion defines a depending cylindrical skirt 34 within which an upper end region 36 of the shank portion 18 is received. An upper end region of the shank portion defines an outwardly-projecting annular rib formation 38 and the material supporting portion 16 has a number of inwardly-projecting clip formations 39 which engage an underside of the annular rib formation 38 for releasably connecting the material supporting portion 16 to the shank portion 18.
In use, and with particular reference to Figures 5 to 7, the support device 10 is positioned in a blast drill hole 40 in an arrangement wherein the lower end 14 of the support device abuts a bottom wall 42 of the drill hole, with the second side wall portion of the material supporting device 16 engaging an inner side of a wall 44 defining the blast drill hole 40. Stemming 46 which typically comprises crushed stone, is located in the receptacle defined by the material supporting device 16 and an explosive charge 48 is packed into the drill hole on top of the stemming. A primer charge 50 is located in the explosive charge for initiating combustion of the explosive charge.
The support device thus supports the stemming and the explosive charge at a position within the drill hole spaced above the bottom wall 42 of the drill hole thereby ensuring that energy resulting from the combustion of the explosive charge is optimally directed to the surrounding rock structure. In particular, spacing of the explosive charge from the bottom of the drill hole causes shock waves to travel downwards initially unimpeded by rock, which results in enhanced blasting efficiency. Furthermore, water often collects in the base of the blast drill holes and the support device thus ensures that the explosive charge is supported at a height within the drill hole above water and/or mud which collects in the base of the drill hole thereby ensuring that the explosive charge remains so as to reduce the possibility of misfiring.

8 The conical shape of the support device allows for ease of insertion of the support device into a drill hole. More particularly, the conical configuration of the support device provides the support device with directional stability as it is pushed down a drill hole until it comes to rest at the bottom of the drill hole. The holes 20 and 24 which are .. defined in the distal end and the side wall of the shank portion of the support device, respectively, allow for water to enter into the internal cavity defined within the support device without displacing the water which would otherwise have the effect of causing the water level to rise within the drill hole.
With reference to Figure 6, a number of support devices are shown located at the bottom of drill holes within a rock overburden 52 in which three blast drill holes 40.1, 40.2 and 40.3 have been drilled. It can be seen that in the drill hole 40.3 water 46 has collected at the bottom of the drill hole, with the material supporting portion of the support device being disposed above the water level.
With reference to Figure 7 of the drawings, the manner in which the support device 10 can be used as a plug for a closing off the top of a drill hole is illustrated. By doing so, dirt and drill chippings are prevented from falling back into the blast hole which may contaminate the explosive charge supported by a support device at the base of the drill .. hole.
With reference to Figure 8 of the drawings, the manner in which the material supporting portion 16 can be used separately in a mid-hole air decking application is illustrated.
For this application, the material supporting portion 16 is separated from the shank portion and a hole is drilled in the base wall 26 thereof. The material supporting portion 16 is then inserted into the drill hole 40 to a desired depth where it is suspended by a piece of rope 54 which is threaded through the hole in the base wall and a knot tied in an end of the rope such that rope is prevented from passing through the hole.
An upper end of the rope is fastened to a rod 56 which is positioned transversely over the upper end of the hole. In this manner, the material supporting portion 16 is located in the blast drill hole at a desired depth. Air decking is desirable in many blast drilling applications
