Claims26
A waterproof device for holding explosives in a borehole, comprising:
- a tube;
- an elongated, flexible, waterproof liner having a first, a second end, and an explosive holding portion wherein the liner is disposed on and about said tube;
- the first end having an aperture through which explosives can be loaded into the liner;
- the second end being closed and having sufficient strength to avoid rupturing when a force is exerted against the second end to dispose the liner within and along at least a portion of a borehole.
A method of lining at least a portion of a borehole with an elongated, flexible, waterproof liner and filling said liner with explosives, comprising:
- disposing the liner an and about a tube;
- locating the liner at or at least partially within the entrance of the borehole, wherein the liner comprises a first end, a second end, and an explosive holding portion of the borehole;
- exerting force against the second end using an urging means disposed at least partly within the liner so that the liner lines at least a portion of the borehole;
- and
- ejecting explosives against said second end from said urging means whereby said liner fills with said explosives.
A method of lining at least a portion of a borehole with an elongated, flexible, waterproof liner and filling said liner with explosives, comprising:
- locating the liner at or at least partially within the entrance of the borehole, wherein the liner comprises a first end, a second end, and an explosive holding portion of the borehole;
- exerting force against the second end using an urging means disposed at least partly within the liner so that the liner lines at least a portion of the borehole;
- and
- ejecting explosives against said second end from said urging means whereby said liner fills with said explosives.
A method of lining at least a portion of a borehole with an elongated, flexible, waterproof liner, comprising:
- locating a tube with a liner disposed on and about the tube at or at least partially within the entrance of the borehole, wherein the liner comprises a first end, a second end, and an explosive holding portion;
- exerting force against the second end of the liner so that the liner lines at least a portion of the borehole;
- and
- inserting an explosive into the liner.
