Abstract
The present disclosure generally relates to quick change attachments for a pneumatic percussive tool. The attachments convert a pneumatic percussive tool, such as an air impact tool with proximal attachment means, which has a “pushing” force, into a pneumatic percussive tool having a “pulling” force. Once attached to the pneumatic percussive tool, the attachments also provide a quick change feature for allowing “pulling” tools to be simply and easily removed and replaced.
Claims20
A pneumatic percussive tool comprising:
- a tool body having a hollow interior with a distal end and a proximal end;
- a piston slideable in the hollow interior between the distal end and the proximal end;
- a first attachment coupler positioned on the distal end of the tool body;
- a second attachment coupler positioned on the proximal end of the tool body;
- and
- a removable cap for selective attachment to the first attachment coupler.
A kit for converting a pneumatic percussive tool with proximal attachment means having a pushing force at a first end of the tool into a pneumatic percussive tool having a pulling force at a second end of the tool, the kit comprising:
- a removable cap for selective attachment to the first end of the percussive tool for sealing the first end of the percussive tool and preventing pressurized air from passing through the first first end;
- and,
- a quick change receiver attachment for selective attachment to the second end of the tool for allowing pulling tools to be attached to the percussive tool.
