Overhead drill and anchor press

Abstract

The Overhead Drill and Anchor Press is a single mobile mechanism designed for installation of anchors into a construction surface which is overhead and out of reach of the installer. The overhead drill and anchor press may include a mast, a turret assembly, a controller, and at least one drill. The overhead drill and anchor press can execute the anchor installation sequence automatically or manually with a controller by moving the drill position to drill the hole and set the anchor. The controller may be equipped with a digital display of the turret mounted camera for monitoring the process from the ground. The entire assembly may be manually pushed between target.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . The overhead drill and anchor press is a tool that can install an anchor into a surface above the operator's head. The drill and anchor press is comprised of these major components: a compartmentalized cart on casters, a telescopic mast, a turret assembly, a controller, an air reservoir tank, a battery, a battery charger, and a DC power supply. The entire assembly of the embodiment of the overhead drill and anchor press is designed to be manually pushed between target locations and sized to fit through standard framed door openings on a construction project. Wherein the improvement comprises a controller which is designed with both automatic mode and manual mode for selection by the operator, and designed to be hand held or may be placed at any location along the straight sections of the handrail of the cart. The controller is equipped with a digital display of the turret mounted camera for monitoring the process from the ground. 
     
     
         2 . The overhead drill and anchor press is equipped with a turret component as claimed in  claim 1 . The turret component is comprised of 3 servo motors that each report to, and are controlled by the controller. Two of the servo motors operate their perspective ball screw linear actuator type of assembly, while the third servo motor rotates the drills to position, all inclusive of the single turret component. 
     
     
         3 . The overhead drill and anchor press as claimed in  claim 1  is equipped with two drills each capable of these functions separately: drill, hammer, and hammer drill. These drills have no handle but have been designed to attach to the carriers and operated by the before mentioned controller. 
     
     
         4 . The overhead drill and anchor press is equipped with a mast component as claimed in  claim 1 . The mast functions in a straight linear motion and with the laser point illuminating the target location reduces the need for additional position adjustments once the operation sequence is set in motion. However, should adjustments be needed, the operator is not restricted from such if the operation sequence has been set in motion.
