| (54) | Percussion apparatus with tool holder |
| (57) A percussion apparatus comprises a vertically extending tubular housing (2), an end
cap (28) removably mounted to the lower end of the housing, and a tool holder (34)
extending through the end cap as elastically supported thereby and slidably movable
axially of the housing. A chisel (18) extends through the holder and has a head located
within the housing to be hit by a hammer rod (13) axially reciprocated in the housing.
A tool holding device (37) is mounted on the holder outside the end cap for selecting
a first condition in which the chisel is prevented from falling off the holder while
being allowed to move axially within a limited range, and a second condition in which
the chisel is allowed to be completely removed from the holder. |
