Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a rock bolt.
  • Rock bolts are used for stabilising the surface of an excavated area. Such rock bolts are inserted into a drilled hole in the rock face and secured in place by mechanical or adhesive means to the inner end of the hole. The rock bolts thereby transfers force from around the surface of the excavated surface to the more stable rock near the inner end of the drilled hole.
  • Mechanical rock bolts generally utilise an expanding component located adjacent an inner end of the hole. The outer end of the rock bolt is then clamped to the surface of the rock face and tensioned. Adhesive fixing of rock bolts comprises inserting an epoxy into the hole which then sets, providing bonding between the rock bolt and the rock along the length of the drilled hole. This provides an advantage by spreading the load over a greater length.
  • the present invention relates to a rock bolt aimed at providing a strong mechanical connection to the rock.
  • the rock bolt allows for both easy and secure installation with secure connection to the surface of the rock inside the drilled hole in one or multiple locations.

  • the sleeve engaging teeth 32 comprise sawtooth shaped teeth extending around the periphery of the first portion 20 and being oriented in the opposite direction to the rock face engaging teeth 22.
  • the sleeve 30 is formed from a relatively thin cylinder of a suitable material such as a thin metallic material.
  • the sleeve 30 includes one or more longitudinal grooves 34 extending from the inner end to the outer end thereof.
  • the grooves 34 are generally V-shaped or U-shaped in cross section (as can be seen in Figure 6).
  • the grooves 34 and the material of the sleeve 30 allow the sleeve 30 to be compressed slightly as it is inserted into the drilled hole.
  • the sleeve 30 is resilient such that after compression, the sleeve 30 tends to expand such that the outer surface of the sleeve 30 engages with an inner surface of the hole to support the rock bolt 10 prior to expansion of the first anchor member 18.
  • the inner sides of the grooves 34 aid in engaging with the sleeve engaging teeth 32 in the first anchor member 18 to secure the first anchor member 18 into the inner end of the sleeve 30.
  • the rock bolt 10 is provided also with an end member 36.
  • the end member 36 is engageable into the outer end of the sleeve 30.

  • the tubular member 50 is provided such that should the shaft 12 break and the outer end 15 of the shaft 12 therefore move outwardly relative to the hole, the tubular member 50 will engage with the inner end portion 38 of the end member 36 and thereby prevent the broken lower portion of the shaft 12 from falling outwardly from the hole.
  • the tubular member 50 is positioned initially a distance above the end member 36 such that the shaft 12 may move downwardly this distance in the event of the breakage. The outer end 15 of the shaft 12 and the nut 46 will then move downwardly by this distance out of the end of the hole as a visible indication that the shaft 12 has broken.
  • the tubular member 50 may be formed from a suitable plastic material, such as nylon.
  • the rock bolt 10 may be inserted into the drilled hole with the first anchor member 18 located adjacent an inner end of the hole and the end member 36 located adjacent the rock face around the hole.
  • the sleeve 30 allows the outer surface of the rock bolt 10 to engage with the inner surface of the hole with some compression of the sleeve. This engages the rock bolt 10 with the hole to hold it in place.
  • the structure of the first anchor member 18 however leaves the second end 21 thereof exposed to engage with the inner surface of the hole and clamp in place with rotation of the shaft 12.
  • Figures 7 to 12 show a second embodiment of a rock bolt 10 in accordance with the present invention.
  • the embodiment of Figures 7 to 12 is similar to the previous embodiment and like reference numerals are used to denote like parts.

  • the second anchor member 58 is provided adjacent the intermediate thread portion 19. It will be appreciated however that other configurations of the thread may be utilised, such as a continuous thread along the whole length of the shaft.
  • the sleeve 30 is provided in two sections.
  • a first sleeve section 52 is provided extending between the first and second anchor members 18 and 58 and a second sleeve section 53 is provided extending between the second anchor member 58 and the end member 36.
  • the second anchor member 58 includes a first portion 60 provided to engage into an inner end of the second sleeve section 53.
  • the first portion 60 includes a plurality of sleeve engaging teeth 32 of the same configuration as those on the first portion 20 of the first anchor member 18.
  • the second anchor member 58 includes a second portion 61 extending inwardly of the first portion 60 and exposed from the sleeve 30.
