AN A~RANGEMENT ~N FUME EXTRACTION ARMS

The subject invention concerns generally, an arrange-ment in fume extraction arms and more precisely an external middle joint for an extraction arm o~ the kind referred to, said middle joint comprising two halves, each one of which is provided with a connection piece, one of the joint halves being connected to the outer end of an inner tubular arm and the other joint half being connected to the inner end of an outer tubular arm by means of said connection pieces, a length of flexible hose extending between and interconnecting said tubular arm ends, each joint half having two leg members projecting from the corresponding arm connection piece so as to extend alongside the length of hose on either side thereof, bolt connections being provided to articulate the outer free ends of one of said leg members to the opposite outer free ends of the other one of said two leg members.
One problem found in bolt connections comprising a movable joint is that in general they have an inherent tendency to unscrew automatically. If brake linings are used in the joint to maintain the friction at a constant level (constant joint movability), such unscrewing of the bolts of the joint must not occur since this would mean loss of the joint function.
One common method of solving this problem is to mount two needle bearings on each bolt connection in order to prevent self-unscrewing tendencies. This arrangement canno however, provide full security because of the difficulty in supplying lubrication to the bearings, with the result that the latter may seize and cause looseness in the joint.
In order to eliminate this problem the subject invention proposes a novel and simple, yet efficient means, according to which each bolt joint comprises either a bolt which is non-rotationally mounted in one of the two leg members of each joint hal~ and which extends with play through : : -. : :. . - ; . ~. . -,.

~ 2 the oppo~ite one of the two leg members of the other half of the joint, ëc~ch bolt supporting at its outer ~ree end a knob which is threaded onto said bolt, o~ a bolt which is non-rotationally mounted in both leg members of one of the joint halves and with play extends through the two leg members of the opposite joint half, each bolt supporting at its outer free end a knob which is threaded onto said bolt, and in that a driving member is mounted in a position intermediate the corresponding knob and that face of the adjacent leg member which is turned towards said driving member against which driving member said knob rnay be-threaded in order to adjust the movability of the middle joint, said driving member being anchored in the leg member in which said bol~ is non-rotationally mounted, whereby upon pivotal movement of the middle joint said driving members and consequently the knobs will be given a motion identical with that of the associated bolt, thus preventing the in-herent unscrewing tendency of the bolt connections.
The invention will be described in closer detail in the following with re~erence to the accompanying drawings, wherein:
FIG. 1 illustrates an almost complete extraction arm in a perspective view from above, provided with a middle joint in accordance with the invention; and FIG . 2 illustrates the middle joint in accordance with the invention separately in a perspective view obliquely from below. -The extraction arm illustrated in FIG. 1 and generally designated by numeral reference 1 is primarly intended 30 ' for localized extraction of fumes, qas, oil mists and similar exhaust fumes. The main components of the extraction arm is a wall attachment 2 on which is mounted a motor-operated extraction fan, not shown. The arm 1 further comprises an inner arm 3 and an outer arm 4 made from smooth metal tubing and the arms 3, 4 are interconnected by means of a middle joint in accordance with the invention, generally designated by numeral reference 5. A flexible tube 6 extends .

~ : : - -CA 020~1101 1999-02-11 between the inner arm 3 and the attachment 2 and at the free end of the outer arm 4 there is provided an extraction hood 7 and a ring-shaped operating handle 8 by means of which the extraction hood 7 and consequently the entire extraction arm assembly may be moved to the desired position.
The middle joint 5 illustrated in closer detail in FIG.
2 is of the external type, i.e. it is positioned externally of the inner and outer arms 3 and 4 and it comprises two essentially identical halves 9 and 10 which in accordance with the embodiment illustrated are made from sheet metal.
One of the joint halves 9 is connected to the outer end of the tubular inner arm 3 whereas the other joint half 10 is connected to the inner end of the tubular outer arm 4, more precisely with the aid of connecting pieces 11, 12 designed to be applied in a tight position about their respective arm end. A flexible piece of hose 13, see FIG. 1 extends between the two arm ends, whereby a continuous fume extraction channel is formed, extending from the extraction hood 7 to the suction fan, not shown.
Each joint half 9 and 10 is formed with two leg members 14, 15 and 16, 17, respectively, which project from the associated connection piece 11 and 12 so as to extend on either side of the piece of hose 13. In accordance with the embodiment illustrated in the drawings the leg members are formed from flat sheet metal plates having through-holes formed therein and they have an arcuate configuration, tapering towards their free ends. At its outer free ends each leg member 14, 15 and 16, 17, respectively, is articulated to a corresponding leg member of the outer joint half by means of bolt connections 18 and 19 to be described in closer detail in the following.
In accordance with the embodiment illustrated in the drawings, these bolt connections 18, 19 consist of a bolt 20 which is non-rotationally attached to one of the leg members 14 and 17, respectively, of each joint half 9 and 10. The bolts 20 extend with some play through the opposite leg member 16 and 15, respectively, of the other joint WO ~/ll~5 ~ PCT/SE~/~

half lO and 9, respectively, and at their free ends they suppo~t a knob 21 which is scr~wed onto an associated bolt 20.
In accordance with an alternative embodiment, not illustrated, the bolt connections which consist of bolts corresponding to bolts 20 and which are non-rotationally mounted in both leg members 14 and lS or 16 and 17 of one of the joint halves 9 or 10. These bolts extend with some play through the two leg members 16, 17 or 14, 15 of the other joint half 10 or 9 and at their free ends these bolts support a knob corresponding to knob 21 which is threaded onto its associated bolt.
In accordance with both embodiments the bolts 20 are carriage bolts which are non-rotationally mounted in square apertures, no' shown, wnich are formed in the leg members.
The knobs 21 on these bolts 20 preferably are in the shape of wheels formed with hand grippinq surfaces.
As appears from the drawings, a driving member 22 and 23 is mounted intermediate the associated knob 21 and that face 24 of the adjacent leg member which is turned towards said driving members, in accordance with drawing figure 2 leg member 15 and leg member 16. Each knob 21 may be screwed towards or from its associated one of driving members 22 and 23 to adjusl the movability of the middle joint 5 and each driving member 22 and 23 is anchored in the leg member - in accordance with figure 2 leg member 17 and 14 - to which the bolt 20 is non-rotationally attached.
Upon angular movements of the middle joint 5, the driving members 22, 23 and consequently the knobs 21 thus will be imparted a movement identical to that of the associated bolt 20, whereby automatic unscrewing movements of the bolt connections 18 and 19 are prevented. The bolt connec-tions as such thus will behave as if they were screwed into one single plate instead of to a movable middle joint.
In accordance with the embodiment illustrated in the drawings the driving members are in the shape of elongate plates which are formed at one of their ends with an aperture, not shown, for application of this plate end onto the . .
