Abstract

Disclosed is an apparatus which comprises a main housing with a shock wave generator and with a coupling membrane and a receiving space arranged therebetween for a coupling fluid which can be controlled with respect to quantity. The receiving space communicates with a control space which can be impinged by a gaseous control force. For the supply of the gaseous control force to the control space a pressurized gas leading control conduit with only a slight flow cross section is required.
