Abstract: A driving device for installing a pipe or casing, without the use of hydraulic or pneumatic means, by capturing the rotational motion of the drill string. The driving device is placed at the top end of the pipe being (42) installed and the drill string (2) passes through the center of the device. The drill string freely rotates, advances or retracts within the driving device, until the driving device is attached (4) to the drill string when required. When the driving device is attached to the drill string, the rotational force of the drill string and any downward force applied to the drill string are captured, and used to install the pipe. The driving device uses the rotation of the drill string to impact a blow to the pipe, driving the pipe downward. The driving device uses any downward force applied to the drill string to maintain downward pressure on the pipe.

Abstract: An apparatus for transmitting fluid includes a first panel member having first and second sheet portions. The first sheet portion has a plurality of apertures therein, and the second sheet portion is spaced apart from the first sheet portion by a spacing structure to define an interior space therebetween. At least one of the end portions of the panel has a first edge opening. The first edge opening and the plurality of apertures communicate with the interior space. The apparatus also includes a first manifold member having a wall defining an inside space and having interior and exterior wall portions. The manifold member further includes an end opening communicating with the inside space and a connecting structure for sealably connecting the manifold member to the first panel member. The connecting structure includes at least one opening in the wall for communication between the inside space and the first edge opening of the first panel member.
