  • Patent number: 7013986
    Abstract: An impact tool enables a front cover part to be easily attached to and detached from a housing body, with a device having a simplified structure. The front cover part has an annular fastening portion clamped to the outer peripheral surface of a front edge portion of the housing body, a cylindrical portion extending from the front end of the housing to the region of the fastening portion, and a connecting portion connecting together the cylindrical portion and the fastening portion. The fastening portion is split at a circumferential part thereof to form a pair of circumferentially opposing tongue-shaped portions. A clamping device is provided between the tongue-shaped portions, which is movable between a clamping position where it pulls the tongue-shaped portions toward each other and an unclamping position where the tongue-shaped portions are released from being pulled toward each other.

  • Patent number: 4825960
    Abstract: Hydraulic hammers are useful for transmitting high impact blows to a tool for fracturing hard material. When two hammers are used in combination the impact blows delivered to a common tool by the hammers should be synchronized for maximum effectiveness. The subject synchronized hydraulic hammer arrangement includes a valve arrangement for alternately directing pressurized fluid to a variable volume chamber in each of a pair of hydraulic hammers to simultaneously retract a piston of each hydraulic hammer against the bias of pressurized gas in a gas chamber of each hydraulic hammer and exhausting the variable volume hydraulic chambers in response to at least one of the pistons reaching a predetermined position. The gas chambers are interconnected for equalizing the gas pressure therein. This arrangement of components provides synchronized movement of the pistons in an outward direction so that they simultaneously impact against the common tool.

  • Patent number: 4247149
    Abstract: An impact mechanism for rock breaking, pile driving and pile extracting, and the like, includes a head assembly (18) with a pair of shank members (24,26) movably mounted thereto and flywheel (76,78) and eccentric crankshaft parts (74) rotated by a motor (84). The crankshaft parts (74) intermittently contact one of the shank members (24,26) to drive it outwardly from the head assembly (18) by transmitting flywheel energy thereto. A biasing and dampening device (110) associated with each shank member (24,26) absorbs rebound energy from the shank member (24,26) and maintains the shank members (24,26) disengaged from the crankshaft parts (74) until it is positively urged thereagainst. The head assembly (18) is movably mounted at the end of an articulated arm (10) for maneuvering it into desired work position.
