Patent number: 9970173Abstract: A tubing device is operatively connectable to an excavation machine. The tubing device comprises a base frame, at least one guiding tower operatively connected to the base frame, and a tube operating unit, operatively connected to the guiding tower. The tube operating unit is slidable along the guiding tower and is provided with engaging means capable of both selectively holding a tube segment, and of transmitting a rotary motion and an axial sliding movement to such a tube segment so as to allow the progressive driving in the ground and subsequent extraction from the ground.Type: GrantFiled: March 10, 2015Date of Patent: May 15, 2018Assignee: SOILMEC S.P.A.Inventors: Alessandro Ditillo, Jasmin Curic, Ezio Biserna, Marco Casadei, Alessandro Giunchedi

Publication number: 20150259871Abstract: The invention describes a tubing device of the type operatively connectable to an excavation machine and configured to perform an excavation in the ground contained, at least partially, inside at least one tube segment. The tubing device comprises a base frame, at least one guiding tower for the tube segment, operatively connected to the base frame, and a tube operating unit, operatively connected to the guiding tower. The tube operating unit is slidable along the guiding tower and is provided with engaging means capable of both selectively holding the tube segment, and of transmitting a rotary motion and an axial sliding movement to such a tube segment so as to allow the progressive driving in the ground and subsequent extraction from the ground. The axial sliding movement is guided by the guiding tower and the width of such axial sliding movement is determined by the stroke of the tube operating unit on such a guiding tower and is proportional to at least once the diameter of the tube segment.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 10, 2015Publication date: September 17, 2015Inventors: Alessandro DITILLO, Jasmin Curic, Ezio Biserna, Marco Casadei, Alessandro Giunchedi
