A hammer holder, provided between a retainer sleeve and a cylinder, slidably holds an intermediate member in an axial direction. A predetermined clearance is maintained between the hammer holder and the retainer sleeve. The hammer holder has a recessed portion which is engageable with a flange of the intermediate member so as to restrict the slide movement of the intermediate member. A cushioning member receives a percussion force when the flange is stopped by the recessed portion. The clearance restricts a compression amount of the cushioning member so that a predetermined life of the cushioning member is assured.

Percussion tool

A tool bit holding device for use in percussion apparatuses such as electrically operated hammers is provided. The device includes a tool bit carrier, a front hand-operated grip, and a rear hand-operated grip. The front hand-operated grip is supported by the tool bit carrier so as to be movable in a lengthwise direction and a circumferential direction of the tool bit carrier. The rear hand-operated grip is installed rotatably on a hollow cylinder connected to a casing of the hammer. The removable of a tool bit from the tool bit carrier is accomplished by moving the front grip in the lengthwise direction and then turning it in the circumferential direction to release engagement between the tool bit and the tool bit carrier. The angular orientation of the tool bit carrier relative to the casing of the hammer is accomplished by turning the rear grip relative to the tool bit carrier to shift a angular relation between the tool bit carrier and the casing of the hammer.

Holding device for percussion tool

A vibration-damping apparatus for an electric hammer unit is provided. This vibration-damping apparatus is provided with the so-called transatory unit including elastic bars disposed between elastic damper members connected to a tool body and a handle of the electric hammer unit, respectively, for absorbing relative displacement of the elastic damper members caused by vibrations produced by the tool body during use. The vibration-damping apparatus further includes a stopper member attached to the elastic damper member attached to the handle so as to engage a chamber formed in the elastic damper member attached to the tool body for preventing the handle from being dislodged from the tool body even when the handle is swung laterally by a hammer operator. Additionally, each of the elastic bars includes a large-diameter portion and a small-diameter portion so as to allow the large-diameter portion to be deformed toward the small-diameter portion during the relative displacement of the elastic damper members for increasing the life of the bars.
