Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A mining shuttle car that trams on underground roadways includes a conveyor system and an operator's compartment adjacent to the conveyor system. The operator's compartment includes a rotatable seat and a control station. The operator's seat module is coupled to one or more joysticks that control the car, and the operator's seat module and the control station are mounted on a rotatable platform so as to be rotatable as a unit between a plurality of secured positions for operating the mining shuttle car. Forward movement of the joystick control relative to the seat steers the shuttle car about a point in front of the seat, and rearward movement of the joystick control relative to the seat steers the shuttle car about a point behind the seat. Forward and rearward movement of one of the joysticks steers the mining shuttle car in the same manner regardless of the rotational position of the rotational position of the seat.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A mining shuttle car comprising: a loading end; a discharge end; a conveyor system extending between the loading end and the discharge end; and a seat module positioned adjacent the conveyor system and including a rotatable seat, the seat being rotatable between a first secured position facing generally toward the loading end, a second secured position facing generally toward the discharge end, and at least one secured position between the first and se…
