Abstract
The invention relates to an ultrasonic percussion device, of the type including: PA1 an ultrasonic wave generator, terminated by an unit (6) transmitting the vibration generated; PA1 a wire (8), the near end of which is carried by said unit and the far end of which is set into percussive movement; and PA1 linking means (7) for immobilizing the near end of said wire in said generator unit. According to the invention, said unit (6) is produced from an elastically deformable material and said linking means (7) are formed on said unit in such a way as to form an integral part of the latter, said linking means being capable of occupying a spontaneously close-together position, for which the near end (8A) of said wire (8) is clamped by said unit, and a position deliberately spaced apart by actuation means (14) for which the near end (8A) of said wire can be freed from said unit or engaged in said unit.
