  • Patent number: 5590726
    Abstract: A drilling apparatus adapted to be fed into a hole to be drilled and extendable in a longitudinal direction includes a casing and a drilling unit. A drilling head of the drilling unit includes a first drilling unit for drilling a center hole and a second drilling unit for reaming the center hole for the casing, the first drilling unit attachably connected to the second drilling unit at the drilling head. A counterpart assembly transmits rotational and impact movement from the first to the second drilling unit. A coupling assembly connects the second drilling unit with a head of the casing such that the second drilling unit freely rotates centrically around a longitudinal axis. A flushing unit for removal of drilling waste comprises at least one first passage extending through the first drilling unit to a drilling point, and communicates with at least one flow channel for transferring flushing medium to a drilling surface and the drilling point.
