Abstract

For making drill holes, in particular under cramped conditions, an apparatus is used which comprises a drill rod consisting of individual segments and guided in the cradle or slide. The individual segments comprise end pieces which are constructed as centering bushes and guide bushes and are to be pushed into each other in such a manner that the necessary torques and pressure forces can be effectively transmitted from the drilling motor. The drilling motor itself is displaceable between two clamping tongs which fix the drill rod or the individual segments and ensure that the latter form in each case a rigid unit to which the pressure and rotary forces can thus be effectively transmitted. The flushing hose extending in the individual segments is connected via a rotary duct to the guide segment of the drill rod so that said hose itself does not participate in the rotation and can therefore be led with the loosely engaging segments round a curve. Thus, even in for example low seams rock bolt drill holes of practically any desired length can be introduced.
