A mining apparatus which is adapted to be connected to a sectioned powered auger conveyor assembly and driven by the central shaft of the auger is constructed with its housing divided into a cutting section and an attachment section. A drive shaft is rotatably mounted to the cutting section and a transmission is mounted to the drive shaft, the transmission being adapted to receive an input shaft having one end coupled to the auger central shaft so that the auger shaft will turn the input shaft and drive the shaft through the transmission. A plurality of cutting arms are rotatably mounted on the drive shaft and are pivotally rotated around the drive shaft by a plurality of hydraulic cylinders to move the arms which carry an axle mounted therein on which cutting drums are mounted enabling the cutting drums to cut material from a seam of material. The cutter drums mounted on the axle are driven by a plurality of chains connecting the cutting drum axle to the drive shaft and a conveyor assembly is mounted under the arms and is also adapted to be driven by the drive shaft so that material fragments cut from the seam are deposited and carried onto the conveyor belt and transported along the conveyor belt into the auger conveyor which carries the material back through the auger conveyor to the desired site.

CM,21. A mining apparatus adapted to be connected to a sectioned powered auger conveyor assembly and driven thereby comprising a housing comprising a cutting section and an attachment section, a drive shaft rotatably mounted to said cutting housing section, transmission means mounted to said drive shaft and including an input shaft connected to said transmission means and extending from said cutting housing section into said attachment section; coupling means mounted on the end of said input shaft, said coupling means being adapted to couple said input shaft with the central shaft of said auger conveyor so that said auger conveyor shaft will turn said input shaft and drive said drive shaft through said transmission means, cutting arms rotatably mounted on said drive shaft, cylinder means mounted to said cutting housing section and connected to said cutting arms adapted to selectively rotate said cutting arms around said drive shaft, said cylinder means having fluid lines connected thereto which run along said housing and said auger conveyor structure back to a fluid reservoir remotely located from said cylinder means, means to selectively supply fluid to said cylinder means, a cutter drum axle mounted to said cutting arms, a plurality of cutter drum members mounted on said axle and adapted to be driven by drive means connecting said cutting drum axle with said drive shaft, each of said cutter drum members being provided with cutter means adapted to cut into material such as coal, ore or the like and shear such material from its respective seam or deposit, and conveyor means extending from said cutting housing section into said transfer section, said conveyor means comprising an endless belt and being driven by said drive shaft so that material fragments cut from the seam or deposit are carried onto said conveyor belt and transported along said conveyor belt into the auger conveyor which carries the material back through the auger conveyor back to the desired site.
