A rod section of a ground drilling rod configured at its end to form at least one plug connection and having at one end (a) a connecting plug with an outer contour; or (b) a connecting socket with an inner contour, the outer contour or the inner contour being essentially sinusoidal in cross section.

Rod section of a ground drilling rod

A ground drilling device having a drilling carriage, which defines a drill string axis, a first drill rod magazine for a plurality of rod sections and a transfer device for the transfer of a rod section between the first drill rod magazine and a position of the rod section along the drill string axis, wherein at least a first connection element is arranged at the first rod magazine and/or at the drilling carriage for the connecting of the first rod magazine to a second rod magazine such that the second rod magazine is arranged next to the first rod magazine.

A long-shaft tool includes a shaft extending along a longitudinal axis and having a handle at a first end of the shaft and a second end opposite the first end with a holder for a manipulator wherein the holder has a protruding latch pin provided for engagement with a recess of a manipulator, which can be moved from the protruding position into a retracted position. The holder has a coupling half for coupling with a coupling half of a manipulator which is rotatable relative to a base body of the shaft.

A top surface drilling device has a core bit and a drill head disposed in the core bit. The drill head has a smaller diameter than that of the core bit, and the core bit and the drill head can be driven at different angular speeds.

Top surface drilling device and methods for drilling a core in a top surface

A method for producing a horizontally drilled bore hole in the ground includes the steps of producing a pit having a circular cross-section; lowering a horizontal drilling device into the pit, the horizontal drilling device having a circular cross-section in at least part of the section in which it is positioned once it is lowered into the pit; and producing a horizontally drilled bore hole using the horizontal drilling device.

Method for producing a horizontal bore in the ground and horizontal drilling device

A horizontal drilling device according to the invention includes a linear drive, a rotary drive that can be displaced by means of the linear drive, a drill rod assembly and a rod assembly pipe receiver, the drill rod assembly being hollow and the rod assembly receiver being designed as a receiving mandrel, which allows the drill rod assembly to be placed on the receiving mandrel.

Horizontal drilling device

A method for operating a horizontal drilling device includes the steps of fixing a rod assembly section within a through-opening formed by a rotational drive of the horizontal drilling device, and connecting the rod assembly section to a rear end of a drill rod assembly of the horizontal drilling device or releasing the rod assembly section from the drill rod assembly by a linear and/or rotational movement of the rotational drive, wherein force transmission means for transmitting compressive and/or pulling forces and/or a rotational torque to the drill rod assembly are provided in the through-opening, wherein the rotational drive is displaceable by a linear drive of the horizontal drilling device, and wherein the drill rod assembly is configured as rod assembly string and is composed of a plurality of interconnected rod assembly sections.
