An integrated hole sealing, device includes a capsule plug, an outer capsule having a first hole site, an inner capsule having a second hole site, a capsule water injection pipe, a borehole water injection pipe and a tapered plug. Two ends of the outer capsule and the inner capsule are respectively fixed on the capsule plug and the tapered plug. The capsule plug, the tapered plug, the outer capsule and the inner capsule form a closed hollow cylindrical cavity. A middle part of the inner capsule is a hollow pipeline, and two ends thereof respectively correspond to the first and second hole sites. The borehole water injection pipe passes through the hollow cylindrical cavity. A part, located in the hollow cylindrical cavity, of the borehole water injection pipe is telescopically wound outside the inner capsule. The capsule water injection pipe passes through the capsule plug and extends into the hollow cylindrical cavity.

The invention relates to the field of drilling and blasting operations, and more particularly to confining gaseous explosion products in a charge cavity, and can be used in rock blasting using borehole charges. The technical result of the invention is that of reducing the specific charge of explosive per cubic metre of blasted rock mass, increasing the fragmentation of the rock mass, making it possible for explosive to be loaded into and work effectively in a borehole with excess water pressure (flooded boreholes), providing ease of use and structural simplicity, providing ease of transportation and storage since the device can be dismantled to compact dimensions, and reducing the weight of the structure. A further technical result is the possibility of using devices of a single type in boreholes of different lengths and types (flooded or non-flooded), thus making it possible for the claimed device to be used as a universal device for all types of boreholes. The above-mentioned technical result is achieved in that the claimed borehole plugging device, which is made of a pliable polymer material and has elements with a shape, the outside diameter of which is commensurate with the diameter of a borehole, and an axial internal cavity, is characterized in that it consists of a rod with a cruciform cross section, having identical dome-shaped, slotted elements fixably mounted thereon from each end.

A blasthole guard may include a conduit and a cap. The conduit is sized and shaped to allow a hose to pass through. The cap comprises a funnel that narrows to an open end of the conduit. A slot continuously extends from the conduit through the cap such that the slot forms an opening that extends along an entire length of the device.

The present invention comprises an apparatus and a method providing a much safer alternative employing a highly confined combustion reaction of a flammable vapor, whereas dynamite is a category 1.1 high explosive imbued with all the attendant safety and security concerns. The method of the present invention provides for an improved and safer method of blasting employing a highly confined combustion reaction of a flammable vapor instead of conventional explosives currently used.
