Abstract
A dividing cutting machine includes a cutter boom pivotable about a horizontal axis, at least one cutter head disposed on the cutter boom, a loader deck hingedly connected to the frame of the dividing cutting machine pivotable about a horizontal axis and provided with movable gathering arms for continuously sweeping the mined material upwardly over the loader deck to conveying means. Stops mounted on the cutter boom and on the loader deck at locations spaced from their respective horizontal pivot axes have a height which precludes physical contact between the cutter boom and the gathering arms in each mutual pivotal position.
Claims5
A dividing cutting machine comprising a machine frame, a cutter boom pivotable relative to the frame about a horizontal axis and about a vertical axis, at least one cutter head disposed on the cutter boom, a loader deck below the boom hingedly connected to the frame of the dividing cutting machine for movement about only a horizontal axis relative to the frame, said deck being provided with conveying means and with movable gathering arms for continuously sweeping the mined material upwardly over the loader deck to the conveying means, separate independent stop means mounted on the cutter boom and on the loader deck at a distance from their respective horizontal pivot axes and having a height which by virtue of engagement of the stop means with each other precludes physical contact between the cutter boom and the gathering arms in each and every mutual pivotal position of the boom and deck.
