Description
- This invention relates to a vacuum attachment for an abrading machine such as a portable rotary sander. This invention particularly relates to a vacuum shield for enclosing, and removing dust generated by, the abrasive wheel of a rotary sander while not interfering with the use of the sander.
- Vacuum hoods or shields for tools, such as abrading machines, are well known. See, for example, US Patents 3,673,744, 3,785,092, 3,824,745, 3,837,383, 3,935,678, 4,071,981, 4,135, 334, 4,145,848 and 4,328,645. Typiccally, the interiors of such shields have been connected to one or more vacuum hoses which draw off dust generated within the shields by the abrading machines.
- However, such shields have hindered the vision of the users of the abrading machines enclosed by such shields and have also prevented the abrading parts of such machines from reaching surfaces adjacent to intersecting walls or surfaces (e.g. in corners) which are to be abraded. This has made it difficult to use these shielded machines for abrading shaped and other non-flat surfaces to a highly smooth and uniform finish such as is required in the restoration and repair of, for example, the sheet metal panels of automobile bodies. One solution to this problem has been to removed a portion of a shield's peripheral coverage of the abrading part of the abrading machine, but this has inevitably caused dust to escape from the resulting open portions of the shield. See, for example, US Patents 3,673,744 and 3,824,745.
- There has been a need, therefore, for a vacuum shield for an abrading machine which allows the user of the abrading machine to view the surface being abraded and allows the abrading part of the machine, such as the abrasive wheel of a rotary sander to reach every part of the surface without allowing dust to escape from the shield.
- In accordance with this invention, a vacuum shield is provided for an abrading part of an abrading machine comprising a generally planar top wall mounted on the abrading machine and overlying the abrading part of the abrading machine; the top wall of the shield being made of a rigid transparent material and comprising at least a first segment and a second segment; the first segment having a first hole therein, through which the abrading part can be supported and driven by the abrading machine; the first segment also having a plurality of second holes therein, each second hole being connected to a vacuum hose on top of the top wall and providing pneumatic communication through the top wall between the hose and the abrading part; and the second segment being pivotally connected to the first segment for upward pivotal movement of the second segment about its connection to the first segment; and also comprising a flexible skirt depending from the peripheral edge of the top wall and extending substantially continuously along the entire length of the peripheral edge of the top wall; the skirt substantially surrounding horizontally the abrading part of the abrading machine, even when the second segment is pivoted upwardly relative to the first segment.
- The shield of this invention can be easily attached to the abrading machine and, in use, allows the surface being abraded to be easily viewed. The shield also allows the abrading part of the machine to reach every part of the surface, being abraded, while the dust generated by the abrading machine is continuously removed by the vacuum hoses connected to the shield.
- An embodiment of the invention will now be described, by way of example, with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:-
- FIGURE 1 is a top plan schematic view of an abrading machine on which is provided a vacuum shield of this invention;
- FIGURE 2 is a side elevation view of the shield and abrading machine of Figure 1. The shield is shown in section, t aken along the vertical centreline of the shield; and
- FIGURE 3 is a bottom plan view of the abrading machine and shield of Figures1 and 2.
- Shown schematically in Figures 1-3 is a conventional portable, pneumatically powered, rotary sander, generally 10. On the bottom of the
sander 10 is a conventional, generally round, rotatablyabrasive wheel 12. A conventional abrasive (e.g. a sandpaper disc) can be removably (e.g. adhesively) attached to thefirst bottom surface 13 of thewheel 12 so that the abrasive will rotate horizontally with thewheel 12 to abrade a surface against which thebottom surface 13 of thewheel 12 is urged. The top of thewheel 12 is detachably mounted on the bottom of a rotatable vertical shaft 14 (e.g. by means of a conventional central threaded aperture in theshaft 14 for receiving a vertical retaining screw on top of the wheel 12). Theshaft 14 is connected to a conventional air driven rotary motor (not shown) in ahousing 16 above thewheel 12. The motor is connected to a conventional source of compressed air (not shown) through ahandle 18 on thehousing 16. The motor is activated by aconventional trigger 20 connected to thehousing 16 above thehandle 18. - Also shown schematically in Figures 1-3 is a vacuum shield of this invention, generally 2, which is mounted on the
sander 10 so that the shield covers the top and sides of theabrasive wheel 12. Theshield 22 has a generally planartop wall 24 overlying thewheel 12. Thetop wall 24 has the generally round configuration of thewheel 12 but a somewhat larger diameter than thewheel 12 so that theperipheral edge 25 of thetop wall 24 lies wholly outside the circumference of thewheel 12. Theshield 22 also has a generally cylindrical,flexible skirt 26 that depends from theperipheral edge 25 of thetop wall 24 and extends substantially continuously along the entire length of theperipheral edge 25 of thetop wall 24. Theskirt 26 serves as a substantially continuous barrier about theperipheral edge 25 of thetop wall 24 to the escape of dust from theshield 22 during use of thesander 10. - In this regard, the location of the
bottom 27 of theskirt 26, relative to thebottom surface 13 of thewheel 12, is not critical but it is preferred that theskirt bottom 27 be substantially parallel to thebottom surface 13 of thewheel 12. It is also preferred that theskirt bottom 27 not be spaced substantially above thebottom surface 13 of thewheel 12 so that, in use of theshield 22, theskirt bottom 27 rests on the surface being abraded by theabrasive bottom surface 13 of thewheel 12 of thesander 10. - The
top wall 24 of theshield 22 is preferably made from a rigid transparent material, for example, a clear plastic such as methacrylate polymer, a polystyrene or an ABS copolymer. Theskirt 26 is preferably made of a flexible material whch will allow substantially the entire length of thebottom 27 of the skirt to be pressed against, and conform to, the surface being abraded with thesander 10 without scratching the surface being abraded or allowing substantial amounts of dust to escape from the interior of theshield 22 through gaps between the surface being abraded and theskirt bottom 27. For example, theskirt 26 can be made from a bristle brush or an elastomeric member such as a soft rubber blade or a thin rubber tubing, which extends lengthwise substantially continuously along theperipheral edge 25 of thetop wall 24. - In accordance with this invention, the
top wall 24 of theshield 22 comprises at least twoseparate segments segment 28 preferably forming the front portions of thetop wall 24 and theother segment 30 forming the remaining rear portions of thetop wall 24. In this regard, it is preferred that the front andrear segments line 32 that is substantially parallel to the front of theshield 22 between the front of therear segment 30 and th e rear of thefront segment 28. As shown in Figures 1-3, thesegments top wall 24 are connected by means of twohinges 34 about theline 32 between the segments. As shown in Figure 2, thefront segment 28 can be pivoted upwardly about the front of therear segment 30 to allow thebottom surface 13 of theabrasive wheel 12 to reach a surface which would not have been accessible without thefront segment 28 pivoting upwardly out of the way. For example, thefront segment 28 can be pivoted upwardly when thebottom 27 of itsshirt 26 has been urged into an elevated portion of a surface being abraded or when the front of thefront segment 28 has been urged against a surface perpendicular to a surface being abraded. However, when thefront segment 28 is pivoted upwardly in this way, it is preferred that theskirt 26 continue to serve as a substantially continuous barrier about the periphery of thetop wall 24, substantially surrounding horizontally theabrasive wheel 12 to prevent the escape of dust generated within the shield. For this reason, it is preferred that theshirt 26 be made of a continuous elastomeric material to asure that little or no dust can escape from theshield 22, through gaps formed between the front andrear segments first segment 28 pivots upwardly about therear segment 30. Preferably, thehinges 34 are also provided with conventional stops which limit the upward pivot movement of thefront segment 28 about the front of therear segment 30. - As shown in Figures 2 and 3, a pair of
springs 36 are preferably connected to the front andrear segments top wall 24 adjacent thehinges 34. Thesprings 36 urge thefront segment 28 to pivot downwardly about the front of therear segment 30 when thefront segment 28 has pivoted upwardly (e.g. by being urged against a perpendicular surface in front of the shield 22). - As best shown in Figure 3, a plurality of
vacuum holes 38 are provided in therear segment 30 of thetop wall 24 of theshield 22, spaced about the circumference of thetop wall 24. Eachhole 38 is connected to one end of aconventional vacuum hose 40, and the other end of eachhose 40 is connected to a conventional vacuum pump (not shown). The vacuum holes are preferably spaced substantially equidistantly about the centre of thetop wall 24 between theabrasive wheel 12 and theskirt 26 and are adapted to provide pneumatic communication between the interior of theshield 22 and the vacuum pump through thevaccum hoses 40 so that dust, generated within theshield 22, can be removed by the vacuum pump. - As also shown in Figure 2, the
rear segment 30 of thetop wall 24 of theshield 22 has a central hole 42 through which theshaft 14 can extend between the motor of thesander 10 and theabrasive wheel 12 to support and drive thewheel 12. Although the size of the central hole 42 is not critical, it is preferred that the central hole 42 be substantially smaller than thewheel 12 to minimize the amount of dust which can escape through the central hole from theshield 22. In this regard, it has been found that the plurality ofvacuum holes 38 that are provided in thetop wall 24 between thewheel 12 and theskirt 26 and that are connected to thehoses 40 and a vacuum pump (not shown) can remove virtually all of the dust generated by the operation of theabrasive wheel 12 within theshield 22 and will allow little or no dust to escape from the central hole 42 so long as the central hole 42 is substantially smaller than thewheel 12. - The method of mounting the
shield 22 on thesander 10 also is not critical. It is preferred that theshield 22 be mounted so that it can pivot about thesander 10 in a direction perpendicular to theline 32 between thesegments circular clamp 44 is preferably mounted horizontally about thesander housing 16 with a pair ofbosses 46 extending outwardly from opposite la teral sides of theclamp 44, and a pair ofupstanding arms 48 are mounted on top of therear segment 30 of thetop wall 24 of theshield 22 on opposite lateral sides of the central hole 42. Eachboss 46 extends through a hole in the upper portion of eacharm 48.Stops 50 are preferably provided in front and in back of eachboss 46 to limit the frontward and rearward pivoting movement of thearms 48 about the pair ofbosses 46 and thereby limit the pivoting movement of theshield 22 about thesander 10. - It is thought that the invention and many of its attendant adavantages will be understood from the foregoing description and that it will be apparent that various modifications and changes can be made in the invention without departing from the spirit and scope thereof or sacrificing all of its material advantages, the
shield 22 hereinbefore described being merely a preferred embodiment. For example, thetop wall 24 of theshield 22 need not be generally round, and theskirt 26 of the shield need not be generally cylindrical so long as theskirt 26 is completely outside (i.e. horizontally beyond) the horizontal travel of theabrading part 12. Also, theshield 22 can be used with anon-rotary sander 10, such as a sander having an abrading part which moves horizontally, vertically or reciprocally relative to thehousing 16 of thesander 10, so long as the shield's skirt 26 substantially surrounds horizontally any horizontal travel of theabrading part 12. Furthermore, terms such as "top", "bottom", "horizontal", "upwardly", "downwardly", "front" and "rear" are used herein as relative terms to describe the shield in Figures 1 to 3 and in the claims which follow.
