A cutting machine for cutting trenches in the ground, including a flat bottom face portion for supporting a pair of motor blocks; two motor blocks, with parallel axes, adapted to mount half-drum cutters; each motor block comprising a central vertical keel projecting downwardly from a horizontal top plate; connection means securing each motor block top plate to said bottom face; the inner edge of each top plate being provided with a beveled surface; an abutment member having parallel beveled edges complementary in shape to the beveled edge of each top plate; means mounting said abutment member to the central portions of said bottom surface; locking means urging the beveled edge of each top plate against the beveled edges of said abutment member.

Motor block fastening device for a trenching machine

Apparatus including a rotary drilling cutter and a spoil removal conduit for the digging of a deep trench, characterized in that the spoil removal conduit is gradually adjustable in length during excavation and comprises: (a) a first conduit section, arranged proximate to said rotary cutter, and comprised of associated slidingly adjustable rigid male and female telescopic tube elements; (b) a second conduit section comprising a flexible tube having two ends, said flexible tube being connected to said first conduit section by one of its ends, its other end being disposed in the vicinity of the ground at a predetermined spoil discharge point, (c) a pulley supporting said flexible tube between said two ends; (d) lifting gear for suspending said pulley; and (e) a first cable associated with said lifting gear for supporting said pulley at selected adjustable heights.

Apparatus for the removal of spoil when making trenches of great depth

A drilling machine for digging trenches in the ground of the type comprising at least one substantially vertical support plate (3) on which are mounted two drilling drums (2) one one each side of it for rotation about an axis (4) substantially perpendicular to the plate. The downwardly facing edge surfaces of said plate have portions (13) inclined relative to the direction perpendicular to said plate.

Drilling machine for digging trenches in the ground

The invention relates to an apparatus for cleaning, during its extraction without rotation, of a drill formed from a helical surface wound around an axial stem. It comprises a scraper blade capable of being inserted at will between two turns of the helical drill, and that it comprises a motor for causing the scraper blade to revolve around the stem substantially in synchronism with the speed of extraction of the drill.
