Abstract

The body of a bit guide assembly is mounted on a base which pivots on a frame about a first pivot point and may thus be retracted in order to allow the passage of the anchoring bolt screwed after drilling a hole. A double-acting jack has its rod pivoted on the base, whereas its body is pivoted on a dog, in turn mounted to pivot on the frame about a second pivot opposite the pivot point. The dog comprises a locking tooth which cooperates with the end of the base remote from the first pivot point. The free end of the dog cooperates with a retaining tooth formed on a connecting-rod, mounted to pivot about a fixed pin and biased by a spring against a stop. The same jack thus controls the retraction of the bit guide, for bolting and its locking in the lowered position, for drilling.
