Abstract: A percussion boring device comprising a casing, a guide tube fixed to the casing, and a control bushing axially displaceable on the guide tube. An impact piston of the device is axially displaceable on the control bushing and configured to be actuated in a reciprocating manner within the casing such that in a first switching position the impact piston strikes a front impact surface to actuate the percussion boring device in a first movement direction, and in a second switching position a rear impact surface to actuate the percussion boring device in a second movement direction. A pressure increasing means is provided and configured to generate a pressure for reversing the percussion bore device, wherein the generated pressure is higher than a pressure for moving the impact piston. The guide tube and the control bushing are configured to reverse movement directions of the impact piston.

Abstract: A framework for a displacement hammer is configured for positioning the displacement hammer in a launch pit. The framework has two holding fixtures, each holding fixture having a clamp. The clamps and the holding fixtures can be moved independently from each other.

Abstract: A percussion boring device with an impact piston is mounted within a housing and driven in a cyclic back and forth movement. In a first switch position, the impact piston strikes a front impact surface, in order to drive the percussion boring device in a first movement direction, and, in a second switch position, the impact piston strikes a rear impact surface, in order to drive the percussion boring device in a second movement direction. For the reversal of the movement directions, a guide tube fixed to the housing, and a control sleeve which can be axially shifted on the guide tube, are provided, and the impact piston can be axially shifted on the control sleeve. The control sleeve includes two sections which are connected to one another by a movable connection.

Abstract: A drive of a slide which can move back and forth of an earth drilling device to move a drill string, wherein a rod, which can move relative to a cylinder, and tension transmitting means are provided in a frame and act on the slide, wherein the rod is connected to the frame, and deflection rollers are provided for the tension transmitting means on the frame and on the cylinder.

Abstract: The invention relates to an earth drilling device (1) for boring a borehole into the soil and/or for drawing a line (9) into an underground passage, comprising at least one system line (4, 6) extending from the earth drilling device to a start region, wherein the system line is designed in an electrically insulating manner.

Abstract: A boring element of a ground boring device includes a housing having a receptacle, a transmitter arranged in the receptacle of the housing and supported in the receptacle for movement in a longitudinal-axial direction of the boring element, and a front buffer connecting the transmitter with the housing. The transmitter moves towards a rear in the receptacle as a result of a deformation of the front buffer, when a rear percussive impulse is applied to the boring element, without the transmitter coming directly into contact with another part of the boring element.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for localizing a drilling device of an earth drilling apparatus, wherein a localization signal is emitted by the drilling device, said signal being received by an external receiver and evaluated for determining the position of the drilling device, wherein an output signal, which is converted into the localization signal, is fed to the drilling device via a connection line, which is connected to the drilling device.

Abstract: In an angle drilling device for introducing or expanding wellbores that are inclined in relation to the horizontal, an angle-adjustable bore rig for a movable feed drive is arranged on a base frame that is movable for example. The bore rig is pivotally connected with the base frame while a connection, for example a link bar, extends between the feed drive and the base frame and has a constant length to effect during travel of the feed drive a change in incline of the bore rig as a consequence of the distance between both pivot points for the bore rig and the point of articulation of the connection.

Abstract: In a drilling method for creating a channel leading from surrounding soil into a shaft which is separated from the soil by a wall, a channel is drilled through the soil from a starting pit in the direction of the shaft using a first drill head. The first drill head continues to drill in this direction in order to create a breach in the wall, and a second drill head is then used in the shaft to widen the breach in the wall by drilling in the opposite direction with the second drill head.

Abstract: In a method for producing and widening ground bores or for the destructive replacement of buried lines with the aid of a tool arranged at the end of a rod driven by a boring device, the rod is built up from individual sections which are to be connected to one another in a machine excavation (staring excavation). In order to allow the use even of rod sections whose length is equal or almost equal to the diameter of the machine excavation, the boring device, prior to the introduction of a new rod section, is displaced, for example inclined, in such a manner that the rod section can be slid into the boring device, for example from outside the excavation, without interference from the rear end, projecting into the machine excavation, of a rod section which has already been introduced into the ground. As soon as the rod section has been slid in, the boring device together with the rod section is moved into a position in which it is aligned with the boring direction or the rod part which is already in the ground.

Abstract: In a drilling device with a drive unit for rotation and advance the rod assembly has a plurality of pipe sections interconnected by means of plug-type connections torque proof in both directions. A tension rod protrudes through the interior of the rod assembling. The pipe sections are braced among each other with aid of the tension rod. The tension rod can be made of pipe sections or of a tension rope and allows the possibility, that the rope assembly can be moved in its integrity against the drilling direction.
