Abstract

The invention relates to accessory equipment for a drilling apparatus for drilling holes into the ground. The accessory equipment (10), in its operative configuration, is mounted on the support structure (52) of the drilling apparatus by a mounting bracket thereof (22), the mounting bracket having an elongate carrier formation (24) mounted thereon that defines an operatively vertical axis and that has a carrier means (26) displaceably located thereon, displacement means (30) providing for displacement of the carrier means with respect to the carrier formation along the longitudinal axis defined by the carrier formation. The carrier means serves to carry a drill bit wrench (16) for required loosening of adjacent drill bit segments (12, 14) with respect to one another, the accessory equipment permitting, through displacement of the carrier means, the drill bit wrench to operate at different required levels, as determined by the length of drill bit segments involved.
