Abstract
The pneumatic hammer includes a hollow housing with handles for the user. A pneumatic driver is mounted inside the housing with an air tank for pressurized air. A reciprocating hammer assembly is slidably mounted inside the pneumatic driver and includes a hammer with a sharp hammer tip. The hammer is substantially hollow to efficiently capture released air from the air tank and drive the same. An alignment collar extends out of the housing and couples to the hammer assembly to set alignment of the hammer against an object to be impacted. The collar is normally locked in place. A control assembly is coupled to the housing, the pneumatic driver, and the collar to selectively release air driving the hammer out of the housing and unlock the collar for slidable movement into the housing.
Claims11
A pneumatic hammer, comprising:
- an elongate, hollow housing, the housing having at least one handle extending outwardly therefrom;
- a pneumatic driver disposed inside said housing, the pneumatic driver having an air tank adapted to be filled with pressurized gas;
- a hammer assembly mounted inside the pneumatic driver, the hammer assembly having a hollow reciprocating hammer with a sharp hammer tip, the pneumatic driver having at least one pipe coupled to the hammer assembly to selectively drive the hammer, the hammer adapted to extend out of the housing to impact against an object and retract into the housing;
- a reciprocating alignment collar coupled to the hammer assembly at one end of the housing, the alignment collar aligning placement of the pneumatic hammer against the object to be impacted by the hammer;
- and
- a control assembly coupled to the housing to selectively drive the hammer;
- whereby selective release of the gas against the hammer builds back pressure to quickly drive the hammer against the object and break the same.
