US4452285A — Device for filling boreholes

Claim 1

Independent Claim 318 words

Device for filing boreholes with a flowable substance such as a single or multi-component adhesive, filler, sealer or primer, comprising a storage container for each of the components of the substance to be filled into the borehole, a housing for holding said storage container, said housing having a front end from which the substance is dispensed and a rear end, means located at the front end of said housing for dispensing the substance, means located within said housing for flowably displacing the substance from each said storage container to said dispensing means, a first lever pivotally mounted on said housing and interconnectable with said displacing means for operating said displacing means and supplying the substance from each said storage container to said dispensing means, wherein the improvement comprises that said dispensing means includes a supply pipe mounted in the front end of said housing for receiving the substance from each said storage container, an outlet nozzle arranged to receive the substance from said supply pipe and also arranged to be inserted into the borehole for supplying the material directly into the borehole, and means located within said housing and engageable with said outlet nozzle for telescopically displacing said outlet nozzle into said supply pipe for displacing the substance from said supply pipe through said outlet nozzle into the borehole, said means for telescopically displacing said outlet nozzle comprises an elongated feed member located within said housing and connected to said outlet nozzle, and a second lever pivotally connected to said first lever and selectively engageable with said feed member for displacing said feed member in the elongated direction thereof, and a switching mechanism for alternately applying the motion of said first lever to said means for displacing the substance from said storage container and to said second lever selectively engageable with said feed member for displacing said feed member and retracting said outlet nozzle into said supply pipe.

Claim 2

Dependent Claim 318 words

Device for filing boreholes with a flowable substance such as a single or multi-component adhesive, filler, sealer or primer, comprising a storage container for each of the components of the substance to be filled into the borehole, a housing for holding said storage container, said housing having a front end from which the substance is dispensed and a rear end, means located at the front end of said housing for dispensing the substance, means located within said housing for flowably displacing the substance from each said storage container to said dispensing means, a first lever pivotally mounted on said housing and interconnectable with said displacing means for operating said displacing means and supplying the substance from each said storage container to said dispensing means, wherein the improvement comprises that said dispensing means includes a supply pipe mounted in the front end of said housing for receiving the substance from each said storage container, an outlet nozzle arranged to receive the substance from said supply pipe and also arranged to be inserted into the borehole for supplying the material directly into the borehole, and means located within said housing and engageable with said outlet nozzle for telescopically displacing said outlet nozzle into said supply pipe for displacing the substance from said supply pipe through said outlet nozzle into the borehole, said means for telescopically displacing said outlet nozzle comprises an elongated feed member located within said housing and connected to said outlet nozzle, and a second lever pivotally connected to said first lever and selectively engageable with said feed member for displacing said feed member in the elongated direction thereof, and a switching mechanism for alternately applying the motion of said first lever to said means for displacing the substance from said storage container and to said second lever selectively engageable with said feed member for displacing said feed member and retracting said outlet nozzle into said supply pipe.

Claim 3

Dependent Claim 34 words

Device as set forth in claim 1, including a duct connected to each said storage container and to said supply pipe for conveying the substance component from said storage container into said supply pipe.

Claim 4

Dependent Claim 17 words

Device, as set forth in claim 2, wherein said duct extends substantially radially into said supply pipe.

Claim 5

Dependent Claim 18 words

Device, as set forth in claims 1, 2 or 3 wherein said outlet nozzle is a tubular member.

Claim 6

Dependent Claim 23 words

Device, as set forth in claim 4, including a mixing insert located within and extending in the axial direction of said outlet nozzle.

Claim 7

Dependent Claim 15 words

Device, as set forth in claim 1, wherein said switching mechanism comprises an eccentric lever.

Claim 8

Dependent Claim 51 words

Device, as set forth in claim 6, wherein said first lever is mounted on said housing on the exterior surface thereof and said eccentric lever is located on the exterior of said housing and includes an eccentric pin located thereon extending inwardly into said housing for effecting the desired switching action.

Claim 9

Dependent Claim 183 words

Device, as set forth in claim 1, wherein said means located within said housing for displacing the substance from each said storage container comprises a plunger, an elongated drive member connected to said plunger, a pawl member pivotally connectable to said first lever, said pawl member arranged to engage said drive member for pressing the substance component out of each said storage container, said means for telescopically displacing said outlet nozzle comprising a rack extending through said housing in the front end and rear end direction and connected at the front end thereof to said outlet nozzle, a stop lever connected to said first lever and selectively engageable with said rack for displacing said rack and said outlet nozzle in the direction toward the rear end of said housing, and switching means arranged to selectively alternately engage one of said pawl member with said drive member and said stop lever with said rack for effecting in sequence the supply of the substance into said supply pipe and the charging of the substance from said supply pipe through said outlet nozzle into the borehole.
