Gripping Assembly for Impact Hammer

The Gripping Assembly for an Impact

Hammer easily attaches to an existing

hydraulic impact hammer and performs

three functions: First, the assembly

allows an impact hammer operator to

manipulate and hold objects that are to

be broken with the hammer. Second, the

assembly allows the operator to grasp

and move objects (such as the debris

that may clog a grizzly in an

underground mine). Finally, an operator

can use the assembly to ‘‘sweep’’ debris

from the work area (such as the fines

that may accumulate and clog a grizzly

in an underground mine).

Method and Apparatus for Laser Safety

in Hazardous Locations

Laser-based technology is used in

several diverse industries to monitor

flammable material processes. This

invention monitors temperatures within

these processes when heated by a laser

and compares these temperatures with a

preset temperature threshold. If the

temperature threshold is exceeded, the

invention shuts down the laser, thus

preventing ignition of flammable

material.

Lighted Rescue Team Lifeline

The Lighted Rescue Team Lifeline is

a flexible illuminated safety line used to

keep rescue and exploration team

members together in low-light areas.

The lighted lifeline helps to prevent

tripping and falling problems, and it

eases the task of locating the lifeline if

it becomes entangled around obstacles.

A 12-volt Battery Charging Apparatus

Using Mine Shaft Guide Roller Wheels

Elevators and mine shaft conveyances

often require local instrumentation to

monitor conveyance speed, location,

cable tension, etc. Power for these

instruments is generally provided

through a trailing cable. In deep mines,

or high buildings, trailing cables can be

impractical for many reasons. This

invention describes a self-contained

unit that contains a battery used to

power the local instrumentation, and a

charging system that uses the motion of

the elevator or shaft conveyance to

charge the battery.
