A mixing head attachment is provided for use in mixing grouts and/or
resins (hereinafter for brevity collectively referred to as resin) used
in mine roof support systems in the securement of an anchor bolt in a
bore hole. A threaded fastener is provided to tension the anchor bolt,
and a resin composition is used to secure at least part of the anchor rod
in the bore hole. The mixing head attachment is provided with a rigid or
semi-rigid body which extends axially along a body axis, and has
sufficient structural integrity to effect mixing of unset resin as the
mixing head is rotated about its axis. The mixing head attachment
includes one or more mixing blades or projections which define a mixing
surface or face. A recess is formed in a proximal-most end of the body,
sized and shaped for mated engagement with a distal end of the anchor
bolt, allowing mixing head attachment to be in generally co-axial
arrangement to the anchor bolt with a sufficient minimum contact force
selected so that while the resin remains unset, the rotation or spinning
of the anchor rod in the bore hole effects rotation of the mixing
attachment about its axis therewith.
