Abstract
A pile driving adapter includes an upper attachment portion for selectively attaching the adapter to a drill head and a lower housing portion including at least a first outer wall. The pile driving adapter further includes at least one actuator including a first portion slidably mounted to the lower housing portion and a second portion configured to expand from the first portion in a direction perpendicular to the first outer wall. The first portion may be slidably mounted to the lower housing portion via a sliding mount, and the lower housing portion may include at least one elongate slot for receiving at least a portion of the sliding mount. The pile driving adapter advantageously couples the drill head and the member to be driven so as to reliably transfer sonic energy.
