Abstract
Apparatus for mounting a drill on the pipe comprises a platform carrying a mounting member for a drill stand. The mounting may slide along a frame which carries a plurality of elongate holes therein. The longitudinal movement allowed by this relative sliding permits a drill mounted on a drill stand to be selectively positioned in order to bore a hole in a pipe upon which the platform is rigidly clamped. By provision of such a facility, there is no need to loosen the clamping force of the platform upon the pipe.
Claims13
An apparatus for mounting a drill press on a pipe having a longitudinal axis, said apparatus comprising:
- a platform assembly having a slot extending in parallel to said longitudinal axis when said platform is secured to the pipe, said slot being constructed and arranged to slidably receive the drill press, whereby said drill press is movable along said slot in a direction parallel to the longitudinal axis;
- and
- a mechanical clamp disposed about the pipe and attached to said platform to secure said platform to said pipe.
A drill press combination adapted to drill into a pipe having a longitudinal axis, the combination comprising:
- a drill press with a drill;
- a platform with a mount supporting said drill press on said platform and having a slot;
- and
- a clamp arranged and constructed to secure said platform to the pipe with said drill oriented to make holes in the pipe;
- said slot being oriented to allow said drill press to move in a direction parallel to said longitudinal axis when said platform is secured to the pipe.
