[Class 68 (i)] [Also in Group XXIV] High-speed and low-speed transmission mechanisms, each including a friction clutch and spring clutch-loading means, are provided for driving the feed member of a mining-machine, means being provided so that the member may be driven continuously at high speed, continuously at low speed, or intermittently at low speed. Cutter-chain drive.-The motor shaft 10, Fig. 3, drives the cutter chain through bevel gears 11, 12, spur gears 14, 15, internallytoothed clutch sleeve 18, and sprocket 17. Chain-bar support.-The bar 6 supporting the cutter chain is carried by a hanger 19 journalled on bearing sleeves 21 supported by part 22 of the machine frame and a detachable flanged member 24. The hanger slides on a plate 25 and has an arcuate flange 26 engaging below the machine frame. The hanger has slots adapted to be engaged by a hook on the feed cable for angular adjustment of the bar 6. Chain-bar lock.-The hanger 19 has three radial grooves 35, either of which may be engaged by a projection 34 on a vertically sliding bolt 28 pressed by springs 33, Fig. 16, and controlled by a two-part pin 37 arranged eccentrically between handles 38 and engaging a slot 36 in the bolt. Variable-speed feed-drum drive.-The motor shaft, through pinion 43, Fig. 6, drives a highspeed spur gear 44 which, through shaft 46, Fig. 9, and reducing gear 47, 48, 50, drives a low-speed spur gear 51, the gears 44, 51 containing disc clutches 54, 55, whereby they may drive a worm 58 coaxial with the shaft 46 and engaging a worm wheel 59 on a shaft 60, Fig. 8, carrying a pinion 61 through which the haulage drum 8 is driven. Pivoted shipper yokes 62, 63 are pressed towards the respective clutches 54, 55 by intermediate springs 66 ; cams 69, 70 on a shaft 67 controlled by a handle 68 are adapted to hold both yokes in clutch-disengaging position, or to allow either yoke to apply variable ...
