A boring device is inserted into a lateral pipe to bore a pipe lining
material inserted into a main pipe across the lateral pipe intersecting
therewith and a portion of which blocks an opening of the lateral pipe
that communicates with the main pipe. The boring device has a rotatable
shaft, a bearing member for rotatably bearing the rotatable shaft, and a
boring blade mounted on the rotatable shaft for rotation therewith to
bore through the portion of the pipe lining material that is blocking the
opening of the lateral pipe. A supporting member is mounted on one side
of the bearing member. An inflatable bag is mounted on the other side of
the external periphery of the bearing member. The inflatable bag is
inflatable in the lateral pipe so that the inflatable bag and the
supporting member are pressed against an internal peripheral surface of
the lateral pipe.
