The invention provides a reamer apparatus for a ground boring machine that
is capable of restricting increase in drawing resistance when performing
drawing of a buried pipe by using a reamer and of efficiently performing
drawing operations of the buried pipe without degrading properties such
as flexibility and rotatability. The reamer apparatus includes a reamer
main body of substantially hollow conical shape that reduces in diameter
towards a drawing side, and a rod connecting portion that provided at a
narrow diameter end portion of the reamer main body and connected with a
rod. The reamer main body is connected to a buried pipe through a
coupling structure disposed on an opposite side to the rod connecting
portion. The coupling structure has a Swivel joint that allows rotation
of the reamer main body with respect to the buried pipe, wherein a main
portion of the Swivel joint is substantially accumulated in the reamer
main body.
