  • Publication number: 20170145792
    Abstract: A fall prevention safety device for the head-carrying carriage of drilling machines, includes a safety cable constrained between the carriage (C) and a rotating drum suitable for winding the safety cable. The drum rotates according to the translation of the head-carrying carriage in such a way as to maintain the safety cable constantly tight, so that when the drive chain is no longer tight, the safety cable holds the carriage and prevents it from falling down.

  • Patent number: 8210255
    Abstract: A boring head system for boring machines includes couplings or drive units for the rotation-translation of at least one boring rod and of at least one covering tube that are coaxial and hollow, such to allow the passage of pressurized water/air as well as the upward flow of waste fluid consisting of water/air mixed with debris along the interspace defined between the rod and the covering tube, and also includes a protection screen or wall completely enveloping the rod and the covering tube, suited to be positioned near or at the level of an upper annular opening of the interspace, out of which the waste fluid flows, in such as way as to intercept the waste fluid in all directions and to convey it downwards.

  • Patent number: 7523793
    Abstract: A drill head for drilling machines having a protective screen for conveying the drilling slurry discharged from the drivers drill rods and related sleeves. A screen constructed according to the principles of the present invention reduces the slurry fallout area in the vicinity of the drilling zone. The screen panel has a generically U-shaped cross section, or in any case such a cross section as to cover wholly or partly at least three sides around the area where the slurry is discharged from the drivers of the drill rod (A) and related sleeve. In one embodiment, the screen panel is coupled to the structure of the drill head by connection supports and translation devices, so to translate the screen panel parallel to the rod and the sleeve.

  • Publication number: 20070181344
    Abstract: A drill head for drilling machines having a protective screen (S) for conveying the drilling mud discharged from the drivers (T1, T2) of the sleeves and drill rods (A), wherein said screen (S) reduces the mud fallout area in the vicinity of the drilling zone. The screen panel (S) has a generically U-shaped cross section, or in any case such a cross section as to cover wholly or partly at least three sides around the area where the mud is discharged from the drivers (T1, T2) of the rod (A) and sleeve (C). The screen panel (S) is joined to the structure of the drill head by means of connection supports (P) and translation mechanisms (Pa), in such a way as to translate said screen panel (S) parallel to the rod (A) and the sleeve (C).

  • Patent number: 6951257
    Abstract: The invention is a new drill for making micropiles, equipped with a mast on which the head-carrying trolley slides and having at the bottom of the mast two pairs of vices, a lower fixed vice and a upper unscrewing vice. Besides being able to rotate around the drilling axis, the unscrewing vice is able to move along said mast with respect to the lower fixed vice. The advantages are considerable, since it is no longer necessary to dismantle the rod and the covering during the extraction stages.
