Abstract
A pneumatically driven impact type of descaler tool includes a manually gripped housing having a rear portion of generally circular cross-section which includes therein a pneumatically driven reciprocating piston assembly which acts as a hammer and a right angled forward portion having a forwardly tapered nose which is particularly adapted for fitting into corners of a workspace. A pivoted solid arcuate body shaped in the form of a quarter circle forms an anvil. A descaling head is secured to the lower end of the anvil and is adapted to be actuated at the other end by the piston assembly which imparts a srelatively strong repetitive impact motion to the descaling head when held against a metal work surface.
Claims16
A hand-held impact type descaling tool, comprising:
- a tool housing having a relatively longer rear handle section and a relatively shorter forward head section angulated with respect to said handle section and having a forwardly tapered nose portion for fitting into a corner of a workspace;
- a pneumatically driven hammer assembly located said handle section and including a reciprocating type piston member mounted in an outer cylinder member affixed to an inner surface of the handle section;
- an anvil member, having a rear end and a front end, pivotally mounted in the head section of the housing, said rear end facing said piston member and being struck thereby when actuated;
- and
- an abrasive type of descaling head attached to the front end of the anvil member for removing material from a work surface and providing a scored profile thereon.
