Abstract

A pneumatic impact breaker includes a housing provided at a rear end thereof with at least one handle, a longitudinal cylinder bore formed in the housing, and a hammer piston reciprocally guided in the cylinder bore. A socket is formed in a front portion of the housing for receiving a rear impact receiving end of a working implement. An air distributing valve is located in a rear portion of the cylinder bore and arranged to direct motive pressure air alternatingly to opposite ends of the hammer piston to make the hammer piston reciprocate in the cylinder bore. And a cylinder head forms a closure for the cylinder bore as well as an axial support for the air distributing valve. The cylinder head at least partly extends into the rear portion of the cylinder bore, the housing is formed at the rear end thereof with two parallel wall portions both extending rearwardly beyond the cylinder head, and the at least one handle extends in between the two parallel wall portions. In addition, a wedge bolt is mounted between the two parallel wall portions and extends perpendicularly to the two parallel wall portions as well as to the cylinder bore to form an axial lock for the cylinder head and a mounting position for the at least one handle.
