Apparatus And Method Of Loading A Rod Box For A Horizontal Directional Drill

View page
US Patent:
7694751, Apr 13, 2010
Filed:
Jul 12, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/827539
Inventors:
Louis C. Hartke - Otley IA, US
Assignee:
Vermeer Manufacturing Company - Pella IA
International Classification:
E21B 19/14
E02D 29/00
US Classification:
175 52, 175 62
Abstract:
A biased door member is provided in an external wall of a drill rod supply magazine mounted on a horizontal directional drilling (HDD) machine. The door member swings inwardly from a first position parallel to the external wall to a second position within the distal column. At least one cut-out is formed in the external wall at the bottom of the retaining guides located at the longitudinal ends of the magazine. The cut-out creates a window through which the added drill rod is inserted. In operation, a drill rod is moved through the biased door member and window cut-outs into the distal column. The pocket of a rod transfer mechanism is positioned below the last column, and a rod lifter lowers the added drill rod into the pocket. The rod transfer mechanism then moves the added drill rod into alignment with the drill string.

Method And Apparatus For Indexing Between Selected Columns In A Drill Rod Magazine

View page
US Patent:
20080066964, Mar 20, 2008
Filed:
Sep 20, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/524731
Inventors:
Louis Carl Hartke - Otley IA, US
Eric Steinhart - Runnells IA, US
International Classification:
E21B 17/20
E21B 19/00
US Classification:
175 52, 175 85, 414 2263
Abstract:
Mechanical stops are utilized on a rod transfer mechanism, with the stops being offset vertically from one another, to index the rod transfer mechanism of an HDD machine under the appropriate column of a drill rod storage magazine. The stops engage a moveable block which is moved by the operator using a block position selector device. The stops are arranged such that each stop corresponds to a respective column of the magazine. Accordingly, the rod transfer mechanism moves transversely away from the longitudinal axis of the drill string until the selected stop engages the block. The block position selector device is preferably located at the HDD machine operator's station. A cable slidably received within a jacket is employed between the position selector and the block to raise and lower the block.

Assignee:
Vermeer Manufacturing Company - Pella IA
International Classification:
E21B 21/08
E21B 3/025
E21B 7/04
US Classification:
175 48, 175122
Abstract:
A tunneling apparatus is disclosed. The tunneling apparatus includes a drill string formed by a plurality of drill string sections. The drill string has a proximal end and a distal end. The tunneling apparatus also includes a drill head mounted at the distal end of the drill string, the drill head including a cutting unit, a rotational driver that provides torque for rotating the cutting unit, and a thrust driver for applying thrust to the drill string. The tunneling apparatus further includes a vacuum system for withdrawing spoils generated by the cutting unit during operation of the tunneling apparatus and a drilling fluid system for providing drilling fluid to adjacent the cutting unit during operation of the tunneling apparatus. The tunneling apparatus includes a control system that allows an operator to select between a drilling mode and a break-out mode. The tunneling apparatus also includes a control interface that allows an operator to monitor vacuum pressure which concurrently controlling operation of various systems of the tunneling apparatus.

Stump Cutter Disc With Recessed Tooth Pockets

View page
US Patent:
20180168115, Jun 21, 2018
Filed:
Feb 13, 2018
Appl. No.:
15/895592
Inventors:
- PELLA IA, US
LOUIS C. HARTKE - OTLEY IA, US
International Classification:
A01G 23/06
Abstract:
One stump cutter cutting wheel disclosed herein includes a wheel structure having left and right sides and being rotatable about a central axis extending between the left and right sides. The left and right sides define receptacles having depths measured in an orientation extending along the axis. Cutter assemblies are mounted to the wheel structure and include cutters mounted to cutter holders. The cutter holders include base portions that fit within the receptacles, and the base portions each define at least one fastener opening. The base portions further define base thicknesses measured in the orientation extending along the axis. The receptacle depths are at least 0.25 times as large as the base thicknesses such that no more than 75 percent of the base thicknesses extend laterally outside the receptacles. Fasteners secure the cutter holders to the wheel structure and extend through the fastener openings defined by the base portions.
