Abstract

A percussion tool comprises a cylinder 3 communicated to a pressure accumulating chamber 16 storing pressurized air therein, and a piston 4 slidable in the cylinder 3 when pressurized air is introduced into the cylinder 3 from the pressure accumulating chamber 16 and pressure of the introduced air is applied on the piston 4. A circular groove 6 is recessed on a peripheral surface of the piston 4, the peripheral surface adjacently facing to an inside wall of the cylinder 3. A piston ring 10 is accommodated in the circular groove 6, so as to provide a hermetical sealing between the piston 4 and the cylinder 3. And, a ring bumper 11 made of resilient member is provided in the circular groove 6 adjacent to the piston ring 10 in a sliding direction of the piston 4.
