Title:
HAMMER DRILL
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JPS62107985
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
A hammer drill has a cylinder within a housing with the cylinder forming a piston chamber. A drive piston is reciprocally mounted within the piston chamber and is displaced by a motor. A percussion piston is located within the piston chamber with an air cushion space located between the two pistons. As the drive piston reciprocates, it moves the percussion piston back and forth by way of the air cushion located between them. One of the pistons has a conduit open at one end to the air cushion space and at the other end to the exterior of the cylinder. A closure plug is located in the one end of the conduit and closes off air flow from the air cushion space into the conduit at regular operating temperatures. If the temperature in the air cushion space rises due to air leakage from the space, the closure plug melts and connects the conduit with the air space so that the reciprocation of the percussion piston stops before the pistons strike against one another and cause damage.
