Abstract: An impact breaker has a sleeve which slidably receives an end portion of a tool. The tool is formed over its end portion with a groove extending completely around the end portion of the tool for receiving lubricant for lubricating movement of the tool in the sleeve.

Abstract: The invention relates to a hydraulic percussion hammer comprising a piston (1), a pressure accumulator (7) in the high pressure circuit, a main valve (8) alternately conducing a high and low pressure to at least one of the pressure surfaces (2,4) of the piston (1) for making the piston (1) move reciprocally, and a tool (3) which the piston (1) strikes, and, for the purpose of controlling the main valve (8), a control pressure valve (9) which opens when the pressure exceeds a set value. According to the invention, the control pressure valve (9) is placed in such a way that the spindle (27) of the control pressure valve (9) is connected from one end to the high pressure circuit of the hydraulic percussion hammer.
