MOLE WITH DECOUPLED NOSE AND BODY

摘要

The penetrating forward nose of a Mole is structurally decoupled from the body in this invention to reduce fatigue and shock effects on the body. The nose and body are connected through a compliant sleeve in one embodiment. In a second, the nose is slidably mounted on the body outer shell, and subanvil means are interposed between the hammer and nose.
