Abstract
A tester responsive to repetitive impact blows. A brake is interposed between an impact target and a base to exert a frictional braking force on the target so the effectiveness of repetitive blows on the target can be assessed.
Claims12
A tester responsive to repetitive impact blows, comprising:
- a base establishing an impact axis;
- an impact target mounted to said base for axial movement toward said base, said target having a surface intended to receive impact blows;
- a brake comprising a blade mounted to said target, and a brake pad mounted to said base, said brake pad being resiliently mounted to exert a frictional braking force on said target, the braking force of said brake being adjustable.
