  • drives the working implement 23 into the work, and as the working implement penetrates the Work the pressure fluid acting against the pressure surface 29 constantly acts to advance the drilling mechanism in accordance With the degree of penetration of the working implement into the rock and thereby maintains the rock drill in correct operative relationship with the working implement.
  • the pressure fluid acting against the actuating surface 62 actuates the piston 56 in the mannerdescribed until said piston uncovers the exhaust port 60, whereupon the pressure fluid used for actuating the piston and the throttle valve is exhausted to the atmosphere through the port 60.
  • the port 6l it should be understood, is so located that the active side of the cylinder 55 is communicated with the atmosphere when the throttle valve reaches the position in which the groove 46 is moved out of registry with the passage 49 although still in registry with the passage 48.
