Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A chain link assembly, a cable chain assembly and a mining system. The cable handler individual links may include an enclosed section for the fiber optic cable separate from other services for the machine. A flexible material or other structure may assemble the fiber optic cable in the cable handler in a manner in which it “snakes” about the centerline to provide ample slack in the fiber optic cable to, for example, prevent over tension.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A chain link assembly for a cable chain assembly in a mining machine, the cable chain assembly extending along an axis, the chain link assembly comprising: a chain link having a plurality of walls cooperating to define a compartment opening in the direction of the axis, a centerline being defined between the plurality of walls and extending parallel to the axis, the chain link including a first projection and a second projection extending opposite the first…
