Abstract

596,545. Boring earth ; laying pipes &c. SKYLUX, Ltd., and GILL, E. G. A. July 30, 1945, No. 19457. [Class 85] In a machine for positioning pipes, cables, &c., underground without trenching &c., said machine being lowered into a cavity and there operated to thrust a borer or pilot tube and successively-connected extension tubes into the ground horizontally, vertically or at an incline, or withdraw said tubes from the ground, screws act through a cross head or crossheads engaging said tubes to apply the thrust. As shown, the machine frame comprises front and back plates, 1, 2, connected by corner bars 3 and provided with adjustable threaded supports 5, a spirit level and sockets 7 for sighting poles. A gear box 8 is slidable on the bars 3, its front wall 9 having a central abutment 10 for engaging the boring tubes, and also rotatably supporting two pressure screws 23 engaging nuts 26 carried by tubes 27 fixed to the frame ; the screws are rotated to advance or withdraw the gear box by means of spur gears 25, 12, and a bevel gear 13 driven either by a bevel pinion actuated by a handle 22, or by bevel pinions 15 connected to ratchet wheels 16 actuated through reversible pawls 18 by levers 17. Tubes 28 surround the screws and telescope over the tubes 27, and are connected by a crosshead 29 with a guide opening 30. Guide plates 31, 32, are secured to the crosshead 29 and gear box wall 9 respectively ; after advance of the boring tubes by pressure from abutment 10, the gear box may be retracted and a thrust plate 33, Fig. 4, carrying an abutment in opening 35, is slipped into the guides 31 and held by pins 34, the abutment causing further advance of the boring tubes on actuation of the screws 23. For withdrawal of the tubes, a draw box comprising grooved 'cheeks 37, Figs. 6 and 7, a front cross plate 39 and a rear bridge piece 41 is engaged with either guides 31, 32 ; before withdrawal, a cut may be made down to the front boring tube and bore enlarging means substituted therefor. A light may be placed in the front boring tube to test the straightness of the bore. The boring tubes may abut and be connected by threaded sleeves engaging screw threads a little distance from the ends of the tubes. Manual operation may be replaced by an internal combustion engine and means provided for automatically disconnecting the drive after a given advance of the gear box. The Provisional Specification also states that the shaft carrying gears 12, 13, may be extended and provided with further pawl and ratchet driving means, and that a single pressure screw may be employed.
