Renè Egger-Mocivnik has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 7320371
    Abstract: A method and device for boring, particularly percussion boring or rotary percussion boring, a hole in soil or rock material and for forming an anchoring. A borehole is formed by inserting a drill bit, and a casing tube is placed inside the borehole during the boring process. Once the borehole is completed, the boring rods are detached from the drill bit and removed from the borehole. The periphery of the casing tube is provided with a number of passage openings for discharging hardenable material. A tensioning device for the anchor, particularly an anchor plate and a screw that can be screwed onto the casing tube, can be fixed to the end of the casing tube protruding from the borehole. Anchoring or fixing elements for anchoring the casing tube on the surrounding inner wall of the borehole are provided, in particular, on the end area of the casing tube oriented toward the drill bit.

  • Patent number: 7287608
    Abstract: A method and device for boring a hole in soil or rock material and for forming an anchoring are disclosed. A borehole is formed by inserting a drill bit, and tensioning elements coupled to the drill bit are introduced into the borehole. After completion, the boring rods are detached from the drill bit and removed. The boring rods are provided with a hollow space in its longitudinal direction to introduce a hardenable fluid into the borehole. Anchoring or fixing elements for anchoring on the borehole's inner wall are provided on the drill bit at the end opposite the drilling surface and/or on the tensioning elements. The tensioning elements are subjected to a turning or twisting whereby shortening their effective length for tensioning or centering so that a centering and an optionally temporary tensioning of the tensioning elements can be effected before the hardenable material completely hardens.

  • Patent number: 7255181
    Abstract: In a method and device for drilling, in particular percussion drilling or rotary percussion drilling, holes in soil or rock material, wherein a borehole is formed by a percussive and/or rotational movement carried out by a drill bit (1) mounted on a drill rod assembly (4) and an envelope tube and/or a jacket tube (15, 18) is introduced into the borehole, it is provided that the impact energy introduced by the drill rod assembly (4) is transmitted partially, particularly centrally, by the drill rod assembly (4) onto the drill bit (1) and partially via an impact shoe (10) cooperating with the drill rod assembly (4) onto the envelope and/or jacket tubes (15, 18), thus enabling the reliable introduction of the excavation or impact energy into the drill bit (1) as well as into the envelope and/or jacket tubes (15, 18).
