A DOWN -THE -HOLE PERCUSSIVE HAMMER FOR ROCK DRILLING

Abstract A down-the-hole percussive hammer for rock drilling includes a cylindrical casing and a drill bit disposed at a front end of the casing. The drill bit includes a forwardly facing cutting surface and a center longitudinal passage extending forwardly through a rearwardly facing rearwardmost end surface of the drill bit. The passage includes a rearwardly facing impact surface. A piston is mounted in the casing longitudinally behind the drill bit for reciprocation in a longitudinal direction. The piston includes a front portion sized to enter the center passage of the drill bit and strike the impact surface of the drill bit during each forward stroke of the piston. The impact surface of the drill bit is spaced forwardly from the rearwardmost end surface of the drill bit by a distance of at least ten percent of a total longitudinal length of the drill bit.
