[0040] Figure-1 , Figure-2 and Figure-3 illustrate a portable cable advancement mechanism (10) for advancing the advanced material (40) in the pipe by means of a drive group (60) used for advancing cables, wires and long structured materials. Besides, a main body (20) which ensures that all elements of said cable advancement mechanism (10) are positioned in such a way that all elements are maintained by ensuring that all elements are positioned in such a way that the advanced material (40) is advanced, a transmission element (50) which is mounted to said main body (20) in such a way that it can rotate in the x- x1 directions by means of bearings (25) and which provides the power coming from the drive group (60) to be transferred to the advancing element (22) together with the rotation element (23) is displayed. On the other hand, a rotation element (23) integrated in the said transmission element (50), which provides rotational movement in the x-x1 direction by means of the power coming from the transmission element (50) and provides the movement of the advancing elements (22) in the x-x1 direction, and a advancing element (22) which provides rotational movement in the x-x1 direction by means of the said rotation element (23) and provides the movement of the advanced material (40) in the y-y1 direction. The rotation elements (23) have two spur gears. Also illustrated is a guiding element (30), which is integrated into said main body (20) to enable the cable advancement mechanism to be held by the user and to guide the advanced material (40), for example a cable or wire type material, in the pipe.

[0041] Said cable advancement mechanism (10) further comprises a cover (21 ) which is integrated into the main body (20) and has a structure enabling said rotation element (23) to rotate in the x-x1 directions, and a bearing (25) which is mounted on said cover (21 ) and provides the transmission element (50) to be placed on the cover (21 ) in such a way that it can rotate freely in the x-x1 direction.

[0042] On the other hand, the cable advancement mechanism (10) has a bearing cavity (21.1 ) which provides the bearing (25) to be mounted in a rigid manner by opening on the said cover (21 ), and a drive centre (51 ) which provides the drive group (60) and the transmission element (50) to be connected by being formed on the transmission element.

[0043] In addition, the cable advancement mechanism (10) comprises a protection element (24) which provides that all elements of the cable advancement mechanism (10) are protected against external contamination and impacts by integrating with the said cover (21 ).

[0044] On the other hand, the cable advancement mechanism (10), it comprises an advancing surface (22.1 ) formed on the said advancing element (22), which provides the advanced material (40) to be contacted with the advancing element (22) and provides the advanced material (40) to be advanced in the y-y1 direction, and a drive group (60) which provides the power required for the cable advancement mechanism to perform the advancing operation. The advancing elements (22) are two in number and are cylindrical roller type elements. They are positioned in parallel side by side with each other and the cable passes between them and enables the cable to be advanced. The working technique of said cable advancement mechanism (10) is as follows. The cable advancement mechanism (10) is held stationary in the hand by the user by means of the guiding element (30). However, an external drive group (60) drives the transmission element (50) via the drive centre (51 ). The power from the drive group (60) is transmitted to the transmission element (50) via the drive centre (51 ). The transmission element (50) transfers the received power to the rotation element (23) and the advancing element (22) and ensures rotating of the rotation element (23) and the advancing element (22) in the x-x1 directions. Here, the rotation elements (23) are mounted in such a way that they can rotate in opposite directions to each other and by means of this system, the advancing process is carried out in the day-y1 directions. The rotation elements (23) operate independently of the advancing elements (22) and have no contact with the material (40) to be advanced. Accordingly, the rotation elements (23) move opposite to each other and transfer power to the advancing element (22) to ensure the movement of the advanced material (40) in the y-y1 directions. With the help of the transmitted power, the advancing element (22) rotates in the x-x1 direction and provides that the advanced material (40) placed in the mechanism is moved in the y-y1 direction by means of the advancing surface (22.1 ), and the advancement mechanism (10) is placed in the pipe port in which the advanced material (40), for example cable or wire type material, will pass by means of the guiding element (30). After that, the advanced material (40) is conveyed to the position to be advanced by means of continuously supplied power from the drive group (60). Said drive group (60) may preferably be a drill or a hand drill or an external drive means. When the drill is associated with the drive centre (51 ) and is driven, gears, which are rotating elements (23), and advancing elements (22), which are called rollers, rotate and advance the cable.
