Abstract
A drill apparatus mounted to a vehicle; having a vehicle, a boom arm apparatus and a drilling apparatus, wherein a first end of the boom arm apparatus is attached to the vehicle and the drill apparatus is flex ably attached to a second end of the boom arm apparatus via a self aligning apparatus so that the drill apparatus is forced against a surface which is to be drilled via the boom arm apparatus, thus securing the stability of the drill apparatus against the drilling surface and the drill mast is self-aligned substantially perpendicular to the surface to be drilled.
Claims18
A self aligning core drilling apparatus for mounting to a vehicle, comprising:
- a boom arm apparatus having two or more arms wherein said boom arm apparatus further comprises a rotate able joint for attaching said arms one to the other;
- a vehicle mounting apparatus for attaching said boom arm apparatus to a vehicle;
- and further comprising a telescoping apparatus, a self-aligning apparatus and a core drill apparatus, wherein a first end of said boom arm apparatus is attached to said vehicle via said vehicle mounting apparatus;
- and a first end of said telescoping apparatus is attached to a second end of said boom arm apparatus, and a second end of said telescoping apparatus is attached to a first end of said self-aligning apparatus;
- and a second end of said self-aligning apparatus is attached to said core drill apparatus;
- whereby said core drill apparatus may be positioned substantially perpendicular to a surface when said telescoping apparatus presses said self-aligning apparatus against said surface.
