Abstract: In a method and device for drilling, in particular impact drilling or rotary percussion drilling, a hole in soil or rock material and forming an anchorage in the hole, wherein a bore hole is formed by the introduction of a drill bit, it is provided that the drill rod assembly of the drilling device includes at least one expandable element having at least one hollow space extending substantially in the longitudinal direction of the bore for introducing a fluid under pressure to at least partially widen the outer periphery of the expandable element, and/or the drill rod assembly is connected with at least one expandable element each including at least one hollow space substantially extending in the longitudinal direction of the bore for introducing a fluid under pressure to widen the outer periphery, thus ensuring a safe anchorage by the expansion of the expandable elements both over the periphery and over the length of the device at a simplified overall construction.

Abstract: A drill crown (1) used for drilling purposes, especially for rotary percussion drilling of a mouth of a blast furnace. The drill crown (1) consists of a drilling head (4) provided with a plurality of hard material or hard metal inserts (6) and a base body (2) for connection to a drive element etc. in order to drive or impinge upon said drill crown. The hard material or hard metal inserts (6) are received in bores or openings (5) of the drill head (4). According to the invention, at least one hard material or hard metal insert (6) is provided with an at least partially curved or domed surface contour (11) on the end which is received in the drill head (4). Said contour cooperates with a complementary domed or curved surface of the drill head (4) and/or base body (2), whereby the percussive energy required for appropriate drilling power is transmitted in a reliable manner, even when the hard material or hard metal insert (6) is slackened.

Abstract: A device for drilling holes, including a drill bit with a drilling or breaking surface, a drill rod for introducing a rotary or percussive force and for introducing a rinsing or cooling fluid into the drill bit and a sheath pipe which defines a hollow space between the drill rod and the inside of the sheath pipe and which is supported on the drill rod or which can be connected to the drill bit. In a drilling position, the sheath pipe is situated at a distance from the rear side of the drill bit facing away from the breaking surface and the drill bit can be introduced into a rinsing position for the hollow space between the sheath pipe and the drill rod with its rear side resting on the front end of the sheath pipe facing towards the drill bit or can be connected to the front end of the sheath pipe.

Abstract: A jacket tube for a device for drilling holes and forming an anchorage in the earth or rock. The jacket tube is coupled with a drill pipe and/or a drill bit or a drill hammer and is configured with a plurality of through openings across its periphery. Once the borehole has been made, or after an anchor has been introduced, the jacket tube can be filled with a hardenable suspension. The jacket tube consists of at least one expanded metal element which has evenly distributed through openings and connecting elements, especially sleeves, at the ends for connecting to a drill bit and/or other jacket tube elements. The borehole is therefore easy to produce and the jacket tube can be anchored securely.

Abstract: A process and device for boring holes in soil or rocks, in particular for percussion or rotary percussion boring. A bore hole is formed by an annular drill bit mounted on boring rods and at the same time a jacket tube which surrounds the boring rods with a certain gap is introduced. The annular drill bit is flushed during boring by a flushing medium fed into the annular gap defined between the boring rods and the jacket tube. When boring is completed, a setting suspension is fed into the annular gap to form an anchorage with the boring rods. An anchorage can thus be obtained in a simple and reliable manner immediately after a bore hole is completed, in particular in loose or slack material, by a device having a simple design.

Abstract: In a process for drilling, in particular rotary percussion or percussion drilling, and lining holes in the ground or rocks, a hole is percussion and/or rotation drilled by a cutter mounted on boring rods and a lining is formed by a jacket tube. During drilling, at least one jacket tube coupled to the cutter is drawn in the axial direction by the cutter into the bore hole and once drilling is finished, the cutter is at least partially removed from the jacket tube together with the boring rods. In a device for drilling, in particular percussion or rotary percussion drilling, and lining holes in the ground or rocks, a cutter mounted on boring rods drills a bore hole by percussion and/or rotary drilling. The cutter is divided in the radial direction.
