A drill rod apparatus for quick rotary deep drilling has its drill pipes connected by flexible joints so that the rotation of a nut relative to a housing of each joint permits separation of the pipe ends connected thereby and the arrays of interengageable claws. The housing is connected to one of the pipes by a ball and socket joint so that with such separation, while a seal is maintained between the interiors of the two pipes, one pipe can be angularly offset from the other by substantially as much as 30 DEG . |
