R. L. CROW I DRILL HOLE CLEANING DEVICE Feb. 15, 1938.
Filed Oct. 20. 1956 Fatented F eb. 15, 1938 lJNlTED STATES PATENT OFFICE DRILL HOLE CLEANING DEVICE Raymond L. Crow, Lawrence, Kans. Application October 20, 1936, Serial No. 106,667
Claims.
This invention relates to new and useful improvements in devices for removing drillings, such as rock dust, from the bottom of drill holes of any depth.
5 Considerable difficulty has always been experienced in the removal of dust or drillings from holes formed in rock and other sub-soil strata. The usual methods used to accomplish the removal of the rock dust or drillings have been to blow the dust out of the hole, draw it out by suction, or float it out with water, or the like. All of these methods tend toward a considerable waste of very valuable time.
It is the primary object of this invention to provide a device which will quickly and easily accomplish the removal of rock dust, or other drillings, from drilled holes resulting in the saving of considerable time which has been wasted in the removal of rock dust by old methods.
Other objects and advantages of the invention will be apparent during the courseof the following description.
In the accompanying drawing forming a part of this specification and-in which like numerals are employed to designate like parts throughout the same,
Figure 1 is a side elevational view of one form of drill hole cleaning device embodying this invention,
Figure 2 is a side elevational view, partly broken away, of a modified from of drill hole cleaning device, and
Figure 3 is a side elevational view of a still further modified form of drill hole cleaning device with a sharpened ferrule shown separated from the inner end of the main body of the device and with the upper portion of the handle broken away.
In the drawing, wherein for the purpose of illustration are shown the preferred embodiments of this invention, and particularly referring to Fig. 1, the reference character 5 designates the body portion of a, section of flexible tubing which may be of any desired length. The opposite ends 5 of this section of tubing are provided with ferrules 6. I These ferrules may be formed as an integral part. of the ends of the tubing or they may be formed as separate rings and suitably secured to the ends of the tubing.
5 A modified form of drill hole cleaning device is illustrated in Fig. 2. This form consists of a section of flexible tubing 1 which also has a ferrule 8 either formed integrally with one end thereof or constructed as a separate ring to be 55 welded, or the like, to the end of the tubing 1.
The remaining end of the tubing 1 has suitably secured thereto, as by weldingor the like, a coupling member 9 to the bore of which is threadedly connected a tubular handle ID. The upper end of this handle is enlarged at II to provide a 5 smooth bearing surface to be engaged by the hand of the operator of the device. The bore of the tubular handle I0 is in open communication at its inner end l2 with the bore of the flexible tubing 1. This handle bore also extends through 1 the center of the enlarged head Ii, as at l3. This provision of a handle II) with its bore opening through opposite ends of the same permits air to enter the upper end of the flexible tubing 1.
A still further form of drill hole cleaning de- 15 vice is illustrated in Fig. 3. In this form of the invention, the body portion consists of a section of flexible tubing M. A ferrule I5 is adapted to be detachably, threadedly connected to the innerend it of the body portion of the tube l4. This 20 threaded connection is accomplished by forming a spirally extending rib II on the ferrule 15 which cooperates with the spiral groove I8 of the tubing 14. A coupling member I9 is suitably secured to the remaining end of the tubing I4 25 and is formed with an externally threaded, reduced portion 20 to which is threadedly connected the inner end portion of a tubular handle 2 I.
It is to be understood that each one of the sections of flexible tubing 5, 'I and I4 is of the 30 same construction. This construction is illustrated in the sectional portions of Fig. 2. Each one of these tubing sections is formed from a ribbon of suitable material, such asmetal, with the ribbon being of shallow channel formation, as 35 designated by the reference character 22. One longitudinal edge of this ribbon is formed with a relatively narrow reversely curved flange 23 which, due to its curvature, provides an external groove 24. The remaininglongitudinal edge of 40 the channel shaped ribbon, in the spiral winding of the ribbon to form the tube, is seated in this external groove 24.
-Fig. 2 also discloses the outer edge of 'the ferrule 8 as being sharpened, as at 25. It is to be understood that each one of the ferrules 6 is provided with a sharpened edge 25 of the form shown in section in Fig. 2. The ferrule i5, disclosed in Fig. 3, also is provided with a sharpened edge 25.. v
In the use of these tools for removing rock dust, or other drillings, from the bottom of a drill hole, the tool isjammed or forced into the drill hole. This inward forcing or jamming of the devices into drill holescauses the rock dust, or
tion to pack and hold the rock dust in the tub-- ings. After the devices have been jammed into the drill holes, rotation of the devices will cause the rock dust, or the like, received within the bores or the tubing to be separated or severed from the dust remaining in the bottom of the drill holes. The tools then may be removed from,
the drill holes and the rock dust held within the bores of the tubings may be quickly and easily removed therefrom by merely striking the tublngs against the ground, or other solid object.
It is to be understood that I do not desire to limit myself to the use of a flexible tubing for any form of tubing which is formed with a bore having a channel, ledge or shelf formed spirally throughout the bore thereof will accomplish the desired results to a practical extent. The flexible tubing illustrated in the several figures. however, operates most successfully and permits much more ready removal of the drillings from the bores of the tubes.
It is to be understood that the forms of this invention herewith shown and described are to be taken as preferred examples of the same, and that various changes in the shape, size, and arrangement of parts may be resorted to without departing. from the spirit of the invention or the scope of the subjoined claims.
Having thus described the invention, I claim:
1. A drill hole cleaning device comprising a section of flexible tubing having a sharpened edge at one end thereof, a tubular handle open at both ends, means for connecting said tubular handle to one end of the tubing with the bores 01' the section of flexible tubing, and spirally extending means formed in the bore of the tubing for packing' and holding drillings received therein when the device is forced into a drill hole.
3. A drill hole cleaning device comprising-a section of flexible tubing having a sharpened edge at one end thereof, and spirally extending means formed in the bore of the tubing for packing and holding drillings received therein whenthe device is -forced into a drill hole.
4. A drill hole cleaning device comprising a section of flexible tubing, a tubular handle open at both ends, means for connecting said handle to one end of the tubing with the bores of the tubing and handle in open communication, and spirally extending means formed in the bore of the tubing for packing and holding drillings received therein when the device is forced into a drill hole.
5. A-drill hole cleaning device comprising a section oi tubing, and a handle member for manipulating the tubing, said tubing consisting of a spirally wound ribbon having a channel cross-sectional formation, and means for connecting the edge portions of adjacent convolutions of the ribbon to permit limited relative movement between said edge portions to provide ,ior flexing of the tubing.
