INTERCEPTING ARRANGEMENT FOR THE RELIABLE INTERCEPTING OF A PIPELINE SUSPENDED IN A MINE SHAFT

摘要

The invention relates to a catching device for reliably catching a pipeline which is freely suspended in a mine shaft and is fastened to the shaft wall via support elements. In order to reliably prevent a broken pipeline section from falling down in an uncontrolled manner, a ring (4) with a conical bore (7) tapering downwards is provided on the support (6), which ring (4) interacts with a clamping ring formed from segments (8, 9, 10), the inner surfaces of which are cylindrical and the outer surfaces of which are conically adapted to the bore of the ring (4). Furthermore, a stop (22, 22') frictionally enclosing the pipe (1) is provided above the clamping ring, which stop (22, 22') presses the segments of the clamping ring into the ring (4) in the event of the pipe (1) having to be caught.
