A compression-vacuum action percussive machine is proposed, which has a casing (1) accommodating a tool (7) and a cylinder (2) with a drive piston (3) and a striker (4) having a chamfer (10) on the end face engageable with the tool (7), and also a means for trapping the striker (4), which means is made in the form of a sleeve (11) with an annular groove (13), wherein a resilient ring (14) is mounted. The sleeve (11) has an inner annular rib (15), the diameter of which is smaller than the diamete...

A compression-vacuum percussive action machine has a housing (1) which accommodates a cylinder (2) containing a hammer (7) and a piston (3) separated from the hammer (7) by an air cushion (8), a crank (5) connected to the piston and linked with a drive shaft (6) by a counterweight (10) whose center of mass is offset relative to a straight line (A--A) connecting the points of intersection of the axes (O.sub.1 and O.sub.2) of the drive shaft (6) and crank (5) with a plane perpendicular to the axis...
