Abstract

An apparatus for drilling short and long holes and for fitting bolts to the short holes has a generally stationary support positioned adjacent the face and a turret angularly displaceable on the support between two end positions about a longitudinal turret axis. A drill slide longitudinally displaceable on the turret carries a drill having a rotatable stem centered on a drill axis parallel to the turret axis. A drill bit can be fitted to the stem. A bolt slide longitudinally displaceable on the turret adjacent the drill slide carries a bolting unit having a ram centered on a bolt axis. A magazine mounted on the support adjacent the turret has a plurality of seats adapted to hold the bolts and extension rods fittable between the bit and the drill stem, depending on whether the device is to be used for short-hold drilling and bolting or for long-hole drilling. A device on the support can transfer bolts from the magazine to the bolting unit when the turret is in the other end position for short-hole drilling and bolting and can transfer extension rods from the magazine to the drill in the one end position of the turret when the apparatus is used for long-hole drilling. A stinger on th…
