Claims20
A mine ventilation stopping expandable panel apparatus, comprising:
- a first panel comprising:
- a first side, a second side spaced apart from the first side, a third side, a fourth side spaced apart from the third side and a first surface extending between at least a portion of the first side, the second side, third side and forth side and an opposite second surface,
- wherein the first side comprises a first safety mechanism extending along an entire length of a first edge extending from the of the third side to the fourth side, wherein the first safety mechanism is configured for one or more of adding strength to the first edge, reducing impact damage to the first edge and preventing injury to a user,
- wherein the second side comprises a second safety mechanism extending along an entire length of a second edge extending from the third side to the fourth side, wherein the second safety mechanism is configured for one or more of adding strength to the first edge, reducing impact damage to the first edge and preventing injury to a user,
- wherein the third side does not include a safety mechanism,
- wherein the fourth side does not include a safety mechanism,
- one or more first panel enhancement mechanism configured as one or more protrusions on the first surface the one or more protrusions extending from the third side to the fourth side and raised off the first surface;
- a second panel comprising:
- a first side, a second side spaced apart from the first side, a third side, a fourth side spaced apart from the third side and a first surface extending between at least a portion of the first side, the second side, third side and forth side and an opposite second surface,
- wherein the first side comprises a first safety mechanism extending along an entire length of a first edge extending from the of the third side to the fourth side, wherein the first safety mechanism is configured for one or more of adding strength to the first edge, reducing impact damage to the first edge and preventing injury to a user,
- wherein the second side comprises a second safety mechanism extending along an entire length of a second edge extending from the third side to the fourth side, wherein the second safety mechanism is configured for one or more of adding strength to the first edge, reducing impact damage to the first edge and preventing injury to a user,
- wherein the third side does not include a safety mechanism,
- wherein the fourth side does not include a safety mechanism,
- one or more second panel enhancement mechanism configured as one or more protrusions on the first surface the one or more protrusions extending from
- the third side to the fourth side and raised off the first surface, wherein the first panel is configured arranged inside the second panel as a system to create a wall structure that is adjustable and expandable in a vertical configuration to achieve different vertical positions.
