Abstract: Tunnel boring machine comprising a transmission housing (11) which during boring is fixed relative to the tunnel. The boring head (15) is axially displaceable relative to an outgoing shaft (14) of the transmission housing while transferring torque from the outgoing shaft to the boring head. A number of fluid cylinders (16) are arranged between the transmission housing and a bearing housing (19,30) for the boring head in order to press the boring head against a tunnel front.

Abstract: Device in impact machines. The device comprises a number of rods (6) provided with projections (51). The rods are journalled in a surrounding set of tubes (7) by means of elastic bushings (52,53) which are provided with grooves (57) through which said projections can be passed.
Abstract: Device in impact machines. The device comprises a first chamber (5) which is connected to an accumlator (6) and the pressure of which is used to hold together a set of rods (2) forming part of the drill tool. Furthermore there is a second chamber (7) to damp the recoil from the set of rods.
Abstract: Device in impact machines. The device comprises a set of rods comprising a number of rods (6) which are journalled in a surrounding set of tubes (7) by means of elastic bushings (52, 53). One of the bushings is provided with a lip (54) which sealingly rests against the rod (6) when flushing medium is not supplied to the space between the set of rods and the set of tubes but allows passage of flushing medium at drilling.
