Definitions

  • This invention relates to vacuum sanding devices and in particular to a housing for use with such sanding devices.
  • Vacuum sanding devices have been known for sometime. They are usually rotary grinders or double action sanders although patents have also issued for vacuum sanders of a rectangular format. Examples of such rectangular vacuum sanders are to be found in U.S. Patent 4,062,152 of December 13th, 1977 Mehrer, 3,123,946 of March 10th, 1964 Hoveland, 2,499,933 of March 7th, 1950 Smul. In circular vacuum sanding devices, examples may be found in Applicant's Canadian Patent 1,080,477 August lst, 1980, Canadian Patent 931,761 to Olmoen, U.S. Patents 3,785,092 Hutchins, 2,895,266 Statler, U.S. 4,164,101 Robert and 3,862,521 January 28th, 1975.
  • the present invention is constructed so as to overcome the many deficiencies of the prior art and to provide a very efficient, light and easy-to-use vacuum sander through the incorporation of a housing that allows a sanding operator to get his sand paper close to if not right at corner portions and hard to get at areas.
  • the housing of the present invention is adapted for use on numerous forms of sanders such as double action or orbital sanders, rotary grinders, rectangular block sanders and hand block sanders. It is also usable on rectangular vibratory sanders.
  • the invention relates to a housing for a vacuum sander of the type that includes a backup pad.
  • the housing comprises a plate having leg members on its lower surface for spacing the plate above the upper surface of the backup pad, a lip member on the periphery of the housing defining a relatively narrow peripheral opening between the edge of the housing and the backup pad underneath it, the peripheral edge of the housing being coterminous or nearly so, with the peripheral edge of the backup pad.
  • the peripheral portion of the housing reaches down close to the edge of the backup pad and therefore very close to the sanding surface.
  • the housing is therefore instrumental in sucking up dust all around the rim of the operating sander.
  • the backup pads used with vacuum sanders normally have holes in the center part all the way through to an upper chamber formed by a flexible collar extending downwardly from the rotating mechanism to the housing. This combination of the vacuum hole through. the backup pad and the peripheral vacuum inlet formed by the housing, forces the suction to draw the dust through the holes and all around the backup pad from the sanded surface.
  • the edge of the suction housing is preferably flexible so that if an operator hits an edge, it gives and flexes back to its original position.
  • the housing 10 is illustrated as being mounted on the backup pad 12 of a rotary grinder or orbital sander including a vacuum housing 14.
  • the backup pad 12 is connected by a stud 16 to a motor shaft 18 which rotates the backup pad 12 and an abrasive disc mounted on its lower surface.
  • the housing 10 comprises an upper plate portion 20 of circular configuration having a central, upstanding flange 22 and a peripheral lip member 24 depending therefrom and extending outwardly and downwardly from the plate member.
  • the lower surface of the plate member is provided with a plurality of legs 26 which serve to space the housing plate 20 upwardly from the backup pad 12 as shown in Figure 1. This spacing can be varied in accordance with the length of the legs 26 used in the particular requirements of the operation. In any case, the spacing of the vacuum housing plate 20 above the upper surface of the backup pad 12 defines a vacuum chamber which is in communication with a large vacuum exit or opening 30 defined by the flange 22.
  • a resilient seal ring 32 mounted on the body of the vacuum housing 14 extends downwardly and rests on the upper surface of the housing plate 20. This serves to seal the vacuum chamber so-that any air drawn into the chamber must come in either through apertures 34 in the bottom of the backup pad 12 or in through the peripheral opening 36 defined between the lip member 24 and the sloped surface 38 of the backup pad.
  • the flexible sealing ring 32 may include a conduit 40 for detachable connection to suitable vacuum means, not shown.
  • FIG. la The embodiment of the invention shown in Figure la is basically the same as that in Figure 1 but the conduit 40 is taken off the side of the housing 14 and not the seal ring 32.
  • the embodiment of the invention illustrated in Figure 3 is similar to that shown in Figure 1 but the backup pad 12 is of somewhat different configuration and the legs 27 spacing the plate 21 above the backup pad are longer than the legs 26 in the embodiment of Figure 1. Moreover, instead of having a circular opening as defined by the flange 22 in Figure l, the plate 21 has a series of apertures 23 which allow passage of air upwardly through the apertures 34 in the backup pad and through the peripheral opening 36 into the chamber defined by the ring 32 and outwardly through the vacuum conduit 40.
  • the peripheral edge 25 of the lip 24 and the peripheral edge 13 of the backup pad are coterminous or nearly so with one another so that an operator can move the sanding device right into hard-to-get-at areas such as corners, valleys, etc.
  • the housing 10 can be manufactured from a flexible plastic material so that if the lip 24 contacts any part of the working surface, it will give and then return to its original location.
  • the housing of the embodiment in Figure 4 consists of an elongated rectangular plate 42 having a series of depending legs 44 which serve to space the plate 42 above a base member 46 and to which is attached a sanding block or backup pad 48.
  • the spacing of the plate 42 above the base member 46 defines a vacuum chamber 50 which is in communication with external vacuum means through a circular upstanding flange 52 to which one end of a flexible tube 54 is connected.
  • FIG. 4-6 This embodiment of Figures 4-6 is provided with a universal joint indicated generally at 56 and includes a pair of upright plate members 58 integral with or otherwise secured to the base member 46 and extending upwardly through the opening defined by the flange 52. Plates 58 support a roll pin 60 to which is attached a T-shape member 62 allowing horizontal movement in one direction of that T-shaped member. The upper part of member 62 is provided with another roll pin 64 at right angles to pin 60 and it provides horizontal movement to a connector 66 attached to it. The connector in turn is adapted for detachable securement to the terminal end of a vacuum pipe 68 which may also serve the function of an elongated handle for actuating the sander.
  • the base member 46 is provided with a chamfered edge portion 70 and the housing plate 42 is, as in Figure 1, provided with a peripheral lip 72 extending outwardly and downwardly from the plate 42 so that the converging edges of the lip 72 and the chamfered edge of the base plate 46 define a peripheral opening 74. It will also be noted that the edge of the base member 46 and the terminal edge of the lip members 72 are coterminous with one another so that an operator can move the sanding device into corners and other hard-to-get-at locations during the sanding operation.
  • the vacuum sander 76 has the same basic configuration as the sander in Figures 4 and 5 but instead of the plate 42 having a central opening for attachment to vacuum means, the housing plate 78 has an integrally formed handle member 80 and as the handle member 80 is of tubular construction, it provides communication between the chamber 82 defined between the plate 78 and the base 84 and external vacuum means, not shown, which is attached to the handle at a suitable outlet 86.
  • the housing plate 78 is attached to the base 84 by suitable screws 88 extending through legs 90, the backup pad or sanding block 92 being attached to the lower end of the base.
  • the peripheral lip 94 of the plate 78 is spaced somewhat from the chamfered edge 96 of the base 84 so that peripheral opening 98 is provided.
  • a housing 9 has secured thereto a backup pad 11 that is provided with at least one circular suction channel 15, two such channels being illustrated. Depending on work requirements, diameter of the pad, etc. several concentric or one single channel would be used. As seen in Figure 8, the channels are preferably the same or somewhat greater in width than the diameter of the apertures 17 which are provided in the base of the pad 11. As shown in the bottom view of the pad in Figure 9, circular channel 15 interconnects apertures 17 while channel 15a interconnects apertures 17a.
  • the inside surface of the frusto-conical skirt 28 of the housing may be provided with a series of shallow ribs 29, shown in phantom line in Figure 11. These ribs prevent the closing off of the space 31 between the inside of the suction skirt and the edge of the backup pad when the operator applies downward pressure on the edge of the pad against a work surface 33 as shown in Figure 10.
  • Fig.12 illustrates a further embodiment of the invention.
  • the nylon suction ring 28 is attached to the backup pad 11 as in Fip.8. Additionally, however, a further flexible cone 100 or skirt is secured at its upper end to the suction housing (not shown) and extends all the way down to the surface to be sanded and over the nylon seal ring 28.
  • the flexible cone or skirt has inwardly projecting dimples or projections 104 which spaces the skirt from the surface of the plastic ring 28 and the skirt 102 is flexible enough that it allows the backup pad and skirt 28 to vibrate and rotate under the skirt without wearing the pad away.
  • the peripheral opening allows efficient vacuuming of dust that accumulates anywhere around the periphery of the sanding device whether it is circular or horizontal.
  • the dust can be drawn in through the back, sides or front of the device to provide a much more efficient unit than is available in the prior art.
  • the arrangement of the present invention can be used on all rectangular vibrators, hand sanders, pole sanders and disc sanders or long body files.
  • the housing can be made out of various materials such as nylon, fiberglass or various alloys.
  • the invention is effective either using the peripheral suction alone or in combination with suction apertures such as 34 in Figures 1 and 3 or 45 in Figures 5 and 7 which extend through the backup pad and or base from the work surface to the vacuum chamber.
