Abstract:
An adapter may be used to impart ramming force on a pipe having a larger diameter than the ramming tool. The adapter has a set of collets which interface with a conical nose on the ramming tool. The adapter further has a split ring that engages with the pipe and either the collet set or an intermediate cone. The split ring has gaps which are bridged by a cam connector. The cam connector may, through rotation of a cam pin, modify the size of the gaps in the split ring. Expansion of the split ring within a pipe allows the ring to hold its position without relying on a weldment or other more permanent connection.

Claim (Index 18):
The method of  claim 17  further comprising the step of removing the bridge connector from the ends of the two portions after the conical nose has been placed within the set of collets.
