Abstract A portable power tool wherein the housing contains a pump, a tank for a supply of oil for the pump, an electric motor for the pump and one or more hydraulic motors which receive pressurized oil from the pump and impart movements to a rotary and/or reciprocable tool, such as a rock drill or chisel. The motor which imparts reciprocatory movements to the tool is a cylinder and piston unit whose piston is rigid with a piston rod serving to strike against the tool whenever the piston performs a forward stroke. A valve assembly having a motor-driven rotary spool controls the flow of pressurized fluid to and the outflow of spent fluid from the cylinder. A spring brakes the rearward movements of the piston, and a bladder type accumulator is connected with the outlet of the pump. The tank is cooled by currents of air which are induced by a blower on the output shaft of the electric motor and which cool the electric motor before they reach cooling fins provided at the outer side of the tank.
A portable power tool, particularly an impact type power tool, comprising a hollow housing; holder means carried by said housing and arranged to receive a tool adapted to reciprocate with respect thereto; a hydraulic pump mounted in said housing; a receptacle provided in said housing and arranged to contain a supply of hydraulic fluid for said pump; hydraulic motor means mounted in said housing, driven by pressurized fluid supplied by said pump and including a double-acting cylinder which has a first and a second chamber and in which said tool is received so as to reciprocate therein; a valve assembly mounted in said housing, connected with said pump and operative to alternately admit pressurized fluid into said first and second chambers and to thereby effect reciprocation of said tool; means for cooling the supply of hydraulic fluid in said receptacle including blower means mounted in said housing; and an electric motor mounted in said housing and arranged to drive said hydraulic pump and said blower means, said blower means being arranged for sucking air into said housing and then inducing the flow of sucked air from said blower means first along said electric motor and thereupon along the exterior of said receptacle.
