Definitions

  • the object of my present invention is to provide a simple device which facilitates the insertion and packing of explosive cartridges in bore-holes.
  • Fig. l is a sectional view of a portion of a bore-hole containing a pipe constructed according to the invention.
  • Fig. 2 is a sectional view taken on the line 11-11 of Fig. l and Fig. 3 is a sectional view of the exterior end of the pipe and of a device for connecting it to a source of compressed air.
  • a bore-hole provided in the bed-rock in which is inserted a pipe 12 having a diameter smaller than that of the hole.
  • the pipe may be composed of a plurality of pipe elements joined together to provide the desired length.
  • the pipe 12 At its inner end adjacent the bottom of the bore-hole the pipe 12 has an internal diameter smaller than that of the other portions of the pipe.
  • the pipe is preferably provided with an insert sleeve 14, which may be removable and forms a sort of nozzle.
  • the smallest section of the insert sleeve 14 is approximately equal to or somewhat smaller than the cross section of the explosive cartridges formed as cylindrical rods 16 or the like.
  • a plurality of knives or cutters 18, preferably three in number, are distributed round the circumference of the sleeve 14 and extend inwardly therefrom, preferably at the narrowest portion thereof.
  • a sleeve .22 (Fig. 3) which may have an inner wall surface 24 conically widening towards the free edge 48 of the sleeve. It is provided with an ear 26 on which a cover 28 is hinged by means of a pin 30. Opposite the ear the sleeve carries a further car 32 on which the one end of a handle 34 is journalled by means of a pin 36. A pin 40 engages a bore in the handle 34 in spaced relation to the,
  • the cover 28 has a recessed shoulder 42 adapted to be engaged by an adjusting screw 44 threaded into the central portion of the member 38.
  • the screw 44 is secured in desired position by a nut 45.
  • the cover 28 has a central bore 50 connected to a hose 52 of rubber or like material.
  • the hose 52 is secured to a source of compressed air (not shown) preferably the same source as that used for the boring machines.
  • a pressure reduction valve (not shown) may be connected to the hose 52 or tea part integral therewith, so that the pipe 12 is supplied with air of a lower pressure than is the boring machine.
  • the discharge pressure may be of such magnitude that the cartridges 16 fill up the bore-hole section, as indicated at 20, solely due to said pressure, the pipe 12 being drawn, or returning by itself out of the hole 10, according as the cartridges are packed one upon the other.
  • the pressure need be only of such magnitude as to force the cartridges out of the pipe, after which the pipe is pressed inwardly of the bore at regular intervals, so as to pack the cartridges ejected successively from the pipe while the pipe is moved step-bystep outwardly of the hole.
  • the restricted inner end portion of the pipe 12 ensures that a cartridge cannot wholly or in part slide back into the pipe after having been discharged therefrom.
  • cartridges of various kinds may be packed consecutively in an arbitrary manner and, if desired, intermediate members of non-explosive material may be arranged between groups of cartridges in known manner.
  • barbs, bristles or the like may be arranged on the inside of the pipe, particularly at the leading end portion thereof, said barbs and the like permitting movement of the cartridges in a direction toward the bottom of the bore-hole, but preventing movement in the other direction.
  • the reduction of the end portion of the pipe opening towards the bottom of the bore-hole may be represented in such case merely by the knives 18.
  • the discharge of the cartridges may be effected without compressed air, for instance by means of a vibrator which preferably is driven by compressed air.
  • the pipe 12 may be flexible or in the form of a hose.
  • Means for loading and packing cartridges of explosive in a bore hole comprising a tubular member having an external diameter dimensioned to be inserted in the bore and an internal diameter throughout substantially the entire length of the member dimensioned.
  • said member comprises a tubular pipe element and ,a nozzle-like sleeve engaging the discharge end of said pipe element, said sleeve having a relatively thick and blunt end surface.
