  • Patent number: 11959361
    Abstract: The invention relates to a pneumatically operated drill hammer, comprising a piston and a distributor axially arranged relative to each other in a housing, the piston being arranged to be moved axially between a first position and a second position. The drill hammer further includes a pneumatic drive system, including a drive chamber, a return chamber and a plurality of channels for distribution of drive gas in said drive system. The return chamber is arranged at a lower side of the piston and the drive chamber is arranged at an upper side of the piston, wherein the drive chamber is defined by a variable space enclosed by at least the housing, the piston and the distributor. The drive chamber includes at least one inlet port and at least one exhaust port arranged at a circumference of the drive chamber.

  • Patent number: 9371751
    Abstract: The invention related to a two-stroke internal combustion engine (1), comprising a crankcase (2), which has an air intake (3), and at least one cylinder (4), which is connected to the crankcase (2) and which, together with a piston (5) arranged therein, defines a combustion chamber (6). The cylinder (4) has at least one air inlet (7), which via an air duct (8) communicates with the crankcase (2), in which a mixture of air and lubricating oil and fuel, if any, is contained. The air duct (8) is connected to the crankcase (2) via a separator (10) for cleaning of air coming from the crankcase (2) from lubricating oil and fuel, if any.

  • Patent number: 8967290
    Abstract: The invention relates to a fuel-powered breaker machine (1) which has a cylinder (2, 2.3, 2.4) with two pistons (3, 4) disposed therein. The first of the pistons (3) is adapted to opening and closing at least an inlet aperture (5, 6) on an inlet side (I) in a cylinder shell wall (7), and an outlet aperture (8) on an opposite outlet side (O) in the cylinder shell wall (7), and, when the apertures (5, 6, 8) are closed, to compressing against the second piston (4), which acts as the working piston of the breaker machine (1), an ignitable air/fuel mixture which is admitted via the inlet aperture/apertures (5, 6).

  • Patent number: 7640997
    Abstract: A breaker tool has a chassis carrying a motor, an impact mechanism operating in a certain working direction, an enclosure rigidly connected to the chassis and surrounding at least the motor, and a handle device including two handles protruding from opposite sides of the enclosure and are vibration damped relative to the chassis via swing arms, where the swing arms are arranged to accomplish a flexible parallel movement providing coupling between the chassis and the handle device. The handle device includes a bridge to which the handles are secured. The swing arms are pivotally connected to the bridge via first pivots and to the chassis via second pivots, where at least one of the first and second pivots is a torsion pivot that provides a limited torsion damped oscillation of the bridge relative to the chassis in a direction substantially parallel with the working direction.
