TESTO DELLA DESCRIZIONE TEXT OF THE DESCRIPTION

Il presente trovato si riferisce al settore delle apparecchiature e attrezzature, in particolare dei laboratori orafi e simili. The present invention relates to the sector of apparatus and equipment, in particular of goldsmiths workshops and the like.

Durante la fabbricazione di oggetti nel campo orafo si deve ricorrere, durante le varie fasi lavorative, a differenti ed autonome isolate attrezzature, che sovente sono ingombranti e vanno ad intralciare il piano di lavoro e lo spazio operativo dell’operatore, rendendo pertanto piuttosto scomode tali operazioni ed andando a pregiudicare la libertà di movimento e lo spazio operativo disponibile, tale aspetto maggiormente riscontrabile per i piccoli laboratori orafi. Ci si riferisce in particolar modo all’illuminazione del piano di lavoro che è una costante caratteristica nel settore orafo, solitamente svolta tale funzione da separate e specifiche lampade, mentre un’altra fondamentale operazione quale l'aspirazione delle polveri che vengono prodotte durante le varie fasi lavorative dell’oggetto prezioso, quali soprattutto durante la limatura, smerigliatura, levigazione tramite abrasivi, sgrossatura, ecc., viene solitamente assolta da un’altra specifica attrezzatura quale aspiratore che va comunque ad intralciare lo spazio operativo in prossimità dell’oggetto disposto sul piano di lavoro. Cosi pure l’evacuazione dei fumi o di gas nocivi, emanati durante altre fasi lavorative dell’oggetto, ad esempio durante la saldatura, viene disimpegnata da altra specifica attrezzatura che va pur sempre a pregiudicare lo spazio operativo disponibile nella postazione di lavoro, riducendo la libertà dei movimenti dell'operatore. Per altri attrezzi, quale ad esempio trapano da banco a sospensione occorre un’apposita colonnina atta a supportare la mensolina a cui è appeso il trapano, , detta colonnina che costituisce un ulteriore ingombro sulla postazione di lavoro. During the manufacture of objects in the goldsmith field, it is necessary to resort, during the various working phases, to different and autonomous isolated equipment, which are often bulky and hinder the work surface and the operative space of the operator, thus making these rather uncomfortable. operations and compromising the freedom of movement and the operating space available, this aspect most noticeable for small goldsmith workshops. We refer in particular to the lighting of the worktop which is a constant feature in the goldsmith sector, usually performed this function by separate and specific lamps, while another fundamental operation such as the suction of the powders that are produced during the various working phases of the precious object, such as especially during filing, grinding, sanding using abrasives, roughing, etc., is usually performed by another specific equipment such as a vacuum cleaner which however hinders the operating space near the object placed on the work surface. Thus also the evacuation of fumes or harmful gases, emanated during other working phases of the object, for example during welding, is disengaged from other specific equipment which always compromises the operating space available in the workstation, reducing the freedom of movement of the operator. For other tools, such as a suspended bench drill, a special column is required to support the shelf on which the drill is hung, called column which constitutes an additional bulk on the workstation.

Scopo del trovato è quello di rimediare a tali inconvenienti prevedendo un’apparecchiatura multifunzionale, in maniera da consentire di lasciare completamente sgombro il piano di lavoro e non intralciare l’operatore durante il lavoro, prevedendo che diverse funzioni possano essere svolte e raggruppate in un unico autonomo apparato, facilmente installabile sui banchi di lavoro preesistenti. The purpose of the invention is to remedy these drawbacks by providing a multifunctional apparatus, in such a way as to allow the worktop to be left completely clear and not hinder the operator during work, providing that different functions can be carried out and grouped in a single autonomous device, easy to install on pre-existing work benches.

Un ulteriore scopo è quello di costituire una soluzione pratica, semplice, funzionale, affidabile e vantaggiosa, sia come realizzazione e come comodità d’impiego. A further object is to provide a practical, simple, functional, reliable and advantageous solution, both in terms of construction and as a convenience of use.

Questi scopi vengono ottenuti dal trovato prevedendo un'apparecchiatura multifunzionale, in particolare per laboratori orafi e simili, caratterizzata dal fatto di comprendere un gruppo in grado di assolvere contemporaneamente alla duplice funzione illuminante ed altresì quella di aspirazione, sia delle polveri prodotte durante le varie fasi di lavorazione con conseguenti dispersioni di metalli preziosi, sia anche di captazione di gas nocivi o fumi emanati durante le fasi lavorative, ad esempio durante la saldatura, prevedendo che venga consentita la separazione e conseguente recupero delle polveri contenenti metalli preziosi dal resto delle svariate e non interessanti sostanze volatili aspirate e prevedendo altresì l’evacuazione all’esterno di dette sostanze, in maniera che con un unico autonomo apparato possano essere contemporaneamente svolte differenti funzioni operative, consentendo di lasciar completamente sgombro il piano di lavoro, senza dover ricorrere a singole separate ed ingombranti attrezzature. Secondo un’ulteriore caratteristica del trovato le varie funzioni operative vengono svolte in modo autonomo, grazie ad un unico apparato comprendente un motore in grado di azionare un aspiratore, condutture di evacuazione, centralina di comando e gestione delle fasi operative, nonché altri mezzi in maniera da poter esplicare differenti funzioni operative, semplicemente sfruttando la struttura dell’apparecchiatura stessa, in uno spazio contenuto. These objects are achieved by the invention by providing a multifunctional apparatus, in particular for goldsmiths workshops and the like, characterized by the fact of comprising a unit capable of simultaneously performing the dual illuminating function and also that of suction, both of the powders produced during the various phases. of processing with consequent dispersions of precious metals, and also of capturing harmful gases or fumes emitted during the working phases, for example during welding, providing for the separation and consequent recovery of powders containing precious metals from the rest of the various and non-precious metals. interesting aspirated volatile substances and also providing for the evacuation of said substances to the outside, so that with a single autonomous apparatus different operational functions can be carried out at the same time, allowing the worktop to be left completely clear, without having to resort to single separate and ing shading equipment. According to a further characteristic of the invention, the various operating functions are carried out autonomously, thanks to a single apparatus comprising a motor capable of operating an aspirator, evacuation pipes, control unit and management of the operating phases, as well as other means in a manner to be able to carry out different operational functions, simply by exploiting the structure of the equipment itself, in a limited space.
