  • Patent number: 11634949
    Abstract: A percussion boring device comprising a casing, a guide tube fixed to the casing, and a control bushing axially displaceable on the guide tube. An impact piston of the device is axially displaceable on the control bushing and configured to be actuated in a reciprocating manner within the casing such that in a first switching position the impact piston strikes a front impact surface to actuate the percussion boring device in a first movement direction, and in a second switching position a rear impact surface to actuate the percussion boring device in a second movement direction. A pressure increasing means is provided and configured to generate a pressure for reversing the percussion bore device, wherein the generated pressure is higher than a pressure for moving the impact piston. The guide tube and the control bushing are configured to reverse movement directions of the impact piston.
