Abstract:
A mine roof support comprises two or more frusto-conical, tubular sections, the sections each flared outwardly from an upper end to a lower end thereof, a skirt portion of a section being received and secured within a neck portion of a section below in a frictional fit to define an interior volume of the mine roof support. A solid, compressible, load-bearing material is located within the volume. Methods of installing a mine roof support and a pre-installation assembly for a mine roof support are also disclosed.

Claim (Index 13):
A method of installing a mine roof support, comprising:\n placing a mine roof support comprising at least two sections in an installation location on a floor within a room of an underground mine, each of the at least two sections having a frusto-conical configuration and being flared outwardly from an upper end to a lower end thereof, at least one of the at least two sections being nested within at least one other of the at least two sections; pulling an innermost section of the at least two sections upwardly within a next adjacent section until an outer surface above the lower end of a section contacts and frictionally engages with an inner surface below the upper end of the next lower, adjacent section to secure the innermost section to the next adjacent section with a substantially fluid-tight seal between the at least two sections to define an interior volume of the mine roof support.
