Abstract
Provided is a manipulation apparatus for a rockbreaker, the apparatus comprising a manipulation tool defining at least one substantially flat surface, a mounting configured to swivelably mount the manipulation tool on the rockbreaker such that an angle formed between an axis along the flat surface and an impact axis of the rockbreaker is infinitely adjustable. Apparatus further includes an actuator arrangement configured to swivel the tool so that the flat surface is selectively and infinitely adjustable relative to the impact axis to facilitate manipulation of material by the tool.

A manipulation apparatus for a rockbreaker, the manipulation apparatus comprising:
- a manipulation tool comprising a flat, blade-like body defining at least one substantially flat surface, the at least one substantially flat surface of the tool comprising a ground engaging surface on a side of the flat blade-like body;
- a mounting configured to swivelably mount the manipulation tool on the rockbreaker such that an angle formed between an axis along the flat surface and an impact axis of the rockbreaker is infinitely adjustable, the axis along the flat surface being defined as a line of action along which the ground engaging surface contacts material during manipulation;
- and an actuator arrangement configured to swivel the manipulation tool so that the flat surface is selectively and infinitely adjustable relative to the impact axis to facilitate manipulation of material by the manipulation tool.
