Abstract: In vibratory plates (vibratory plate compactor machine), the reciprocating movement of an engine piston is converted into rotation of the crankshaft, and the latter is converted into rotation of an eccentric rotary shaft of vibrator unit, which create a periodic force that leads to reciprocating movement of the plate. Such a vibratory plate is complicated. It is proposed to use a free-piston engine with one piston as the engine for a vibratory plate. In this free piston engine, the piston moves reciprocally, and the cylinder performs reciprocating movements opposite to the movements of the piston. The cylinder is mounted vertically and fixed to the plate. In each engine cycle the gas pressure acts on the piston and cylinder. After combustion, the piston moves up and the cylinder moves down. Since the cylinder is fixed to the plate, it also moves downward and compacts soil, gravel, etc.

Abstract: An impact tool has an anti-topping mechanism (“ATM”) adapted to reduce the rotational frictional force between the contact surfaces of the hammer and anvil to prevent topping. If topping still occurs, the ATM quickly breaks the topped condition. The ATM may reduce the rotational frictional torque between the hammer and anvil of an impact mechanism or provide increased the rotational friction acting on the anvil from adjoining elements of the tool thus tending to hold the anvil (by heightened rotational friction) while the hammer can be broken free. ATM mechanisms include hammer and jaw surfaces angled at interface points; stepping either the hammer or anvil jaw surfaces so that only the innermost portions interact; rounding or crowning either or both of the anvil and hammer jaw surfaces so minimal portions of the jaws are ever topped; and software-controlled detection and breaking of a topped condition. In torque-controlled impact tools, these mechanisms decrease the risk of accuracy or repeatability issues.

Abstract: An impacting tool, such as a jackhammer or electric hammer is proposed to be modified by a high modulus polymeric material, or metal of lower relative modulus than surrounding metal such as that of a piston. An interchangeable tool head is proposed to have inserted in a cavity in the impacted end such a high modulus polymeric material.

Additionally, the working end of a cutting or impacting tool can be modified to a sharper angle because of diminished force through such relatively lower modulus inclusion.
