Patent number: 7237625Abstract: A driving device for installing a pipe or casing, without the use of hydraulic or pneumatic means, by capturing the rotational motion of the drill string. The driving device is placed at the top end of the pipe being (42) installed and the drill string (2) passes through the center of the device. The drill string freely rotates, advances or retracts within the driving device, until the driving device is attached (4) to the drill string when required. When the driving device is attached to the drill string, the rotational force of the drill string and any downward force applied to the drill string are captured, and used to install the pipe. The driving device uses the rotation of the drill string to impact a blow to the pipe, driving the pipe downward. The driving device uses any downward force applied to the drill string to maintain downward pressure on the pipe.Type: GrantFiled: July 17, 2003Date of Patent: July 3, 2007Inventors: Ronald G.

Patent number: 5868208Abstract: A power tool has a drive mechanism with an output shaft which performs an intermittent rotary motion. The output shaft drives, via an overrunning clutch, a tool drive shaft to drive a tool, which thus performs a quasi-continuous rotary motion that, as the load on the machine increases, transitions increasingly into a discontinuous rotary motion. The power tool can advantageously be used as a hand-held power tool for screwing, drilling, sawing, sanding, and the like, a high output torque with a low reaction torque being achievable as a result of the intermittent drive mechanism.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 1996Date of Patent: February 9, 1999Inventors: Andreas Peisert, Wolfgang Kofink, Michael Nothofer, Manfred Ludwig
