  • Patent number: 6145601
    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.
