275 all whom it may concern a known that I, LEWIS o; Burt's,

citizen ofthe United States, and resident of Easton, in the county of. Northampton and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a newand} useful Improvement. n. Percussive Tools, of Whieh'the following is a spec1fica;

tion. v The object of this invention is to provide anovel rotation device by meansof which the drill steel may be rotated by both mo ve iston, thereby securing, a substantially continuous rotary movement offlthe steel during, the operation of the tool. fflhe -object of this invention is furthermore to, provide certain novel features'oi' construction-Which will bring the parts'into 1 very ,cornpact andv convenient arrangement and in which the parts may be readily as,-

'lhe oscillating rotation controlling piston is denoted by 10 and itscllamber by 11. The controlling valve 12 in the valve chest ,7,.inay be of any well known or. approved form and is arranged to control'l'he reciprocations of the work piston 1 and the rota; ltus herein tion controlling piston "10. shown as of the well known double-Winged type in which one wing controls the admission of motive fluid from the inlet33 to the opposite ends of the work piston chamber 2 and rotation controlling piston chamber 11. through the

The shank of the drill steel 13 is fitted t thebore of the chuck 14, which chuck iS I'O? tatably mounted inthe front head This drill steel 13 is arranged in position to' have its rear end struck by the extension15 of the piston 1, which-extension slides through the, front head washer 5 into the enlarged bore 16 of the chuck 14. This chuckis p o, vided with a. spur gear 17 which meshes with pinions 18, 19, carried by the front ends of rotary shafts 20, 2l,which extend longitudinally from front to ,rear of the toolthrough the cylinder 3, washer 5 and Valve chest/7',

'lhe springs 29', 30 for-holding these; ratchets 27, 28, in engagement with the ratchet levers- 22, 23, are interposed between theratchets 27 28, and washers 31, 32, interlocked with the shafts 20,- 21. ,The interlock: ing engagement with the rear ends of these shafts '21 with the ratchets 27, 28, and washers 31, 32, is provided for, in the pres-- ent instance, by forming therear ends of these shafts angular in cross section and the bores of said ratchcts and washers of a similar shape in cross section.

The direction of the engaging teeth on the ratchets 27, 28,. and the
