20090266616 | Connection device for forming a fluid supply - The invention relates to a connection device for forming a fluid supply to a rotating tool, comprising a rotary feedthrough which has a rotor and a stator, the rotor being supported in a rotating manner relative to the stator. Furthermore, a torque support is provided, which is connected in a rotationally fixed manner to the stator and has at least one contact element. In accordance with the invention the at least one contact element can be displaced between a retracted position and a protruding position, in which the contact element is extended compared to the retracted position for the purpose of torque support. | 10-29-2009 |
20100200302 | DIGGING TOOL, DIGGING BIT, AND DEVICE - Provided is an excavation tool for efficiently taking waste rocks produced during excavation into the inner peripheral side of a casing pipe and discharging the waste rocks to the outside. An excavation tool ( | 08-12-2010 |
20100230171 | Drill Head for a Tunneling Apparatus - The present disclosure relates to a tunneling apparatus including a drill head having a main body and a drive stem rotatably mounted within the main body. The main body defines a vacuum passage offset from the drive stem that extends through the main body from a proximal end to a distal end of the main body. The tunneling apparatus also includes an axial bearing structure for transferring axial load between the drive stem and the main body of the drill head. The axial bearing structure is proximally offset from the distal end of the main body of the drill head. The tunneling apparatus further includes a first radial bearing structure for transferring radial load between the drive stem and the main body of the drill head. The first radial bearing structure is positioned between the axial bearing structure and the distal end of the main body of the drill head and is distally offset from the axial bearing structure. | 09-16-2010 |
20100326738 | DRILL PACKER MEMBER, DRILL PIPE, AND CORRESPONDING DRILL PIPE STRING - An element for a drill string includes at least one zone bearing on a wall of the drilled hole, the bearing zone including at least one bearing section with an external diameter greater than the diameter of the other portions of the element, and two activation zones substantially adjacent to the bearing zone and disposed upstream and downstream of the bearing zone. The activation zones include a plurality of grooves with a generally helical shape about the axis of the element. The bearing zone includes two guide sections in a shape of a convex rounded body of revolution, disposed upstream and downstream of the bearing section in a manner adjacent to the bearing section, and tangential to the bearing section and to the activation zones. | 12-30-2010 |
20130206482 | PUMP POSITIONED AT A DRILL BIT - An ejector pump or jet pump is for use in the drilling of wells in the underground for the production of oil and gas, for example, in which it is the purpose to prevent the total fluid pressure at the bottom of the borehole from reaching a level which constitutes a risk of cracking the rock or sediment being drilled, thus resulting in leakage and circulation failure. For this purpose, the pump is placed between the drill bit and the drill string by means of standard pipe couplings and formed as an elongated cylindrical element with external, longitudinal pump elements with nozzles directed in such a way that low pressure is established externally at the drill bit. The pump is operated by the drilling fluid which is supplied in the normal way from the drill string. The pressure difference across the pump is used to draw a secondary flow of drilling fluid from the established borehole through internal bores in the pump casing to the ordinary nozzles in the drill bit. This fluid flow provides necessary cleaning of the drill bit and drilling surface but, then, will have a highest possible pressure that is limited upwards to the level established in the borehole and so that possible clogging around the drill bit will not cause an increased risk of drilling fluid leaking into the underground. | 08-15-2013 |
20130270013 | FLOW RESTRICTOR AND DRILLING ASSEMBLY - A flow restrictor comprising a body adapted to restrict a flow of fluid through a drill rod passage, the body having a coupling for coupling said body into the drill rod passage, said body defining an upstream fluid receiving passage, a downstream fluid egress passage, and a passage of restrictive diameter between said passages to limit the flow of fluid in the drill rod passage. | 10-17-2013 |
