Abstract
The invention relates to a magazine and manipulation apparatus for drilling rod parts for a drill, having a rod magazine in which the drilling rod parts are received in a multi-layered arrangement in a store, and having a removal device for transferring the individual drilling rod parts from the rod magazine into a charging device which transports the drilling rod part to the drill and for returning the drilling rod parts from the charging device to the rod magazine. In this apparatus, the removal device is movably guided vertically and relative to the rod magazine on a guide and possesses a pivot mechanism having at least one gripping unit for the pick-up of a drilling rod part and by pivoting of the pivot mechanism, the drilling rod part retained in the gripping unit is moved between the position of transfer in the rod magazine and the charging device, and in which, by a vertical displacement of the removal device, the pivot mechanism with the gripping unit is adapted to the current, position-dependent position of transfer in the rod magazine and to the charging device.
