Abstract
An enclosure cooperates with a vacuum source to confine and remove debris produced by operation of tools on workpieces. The enclosure comprises a housing and a work plate that defines the bottom of a work chamber in the housing and a work surface where tools and workpieces can be placed. A vacuum chamber is formed against a lower surface of the work plate, and the work plate has an extensive array of holes that place the work chamber in communication with vacuum chamber. A vacuum source coupled to the vacuum chamber draws air flows through holes in the work plate that remove debris in the work chamber. A window permits viewing of the interior of the work chamber, and an access port permits a worker to insert his hands into the work chamber to handle workpieces or operate tools.
Description
- The invention relates to enclosure for confining and removing debris created by the operation of power and hand tools upon workpieces, and more specifically, to an enclosure in which suction is used more effectively to remove debris.
- Power tools, such as a grinder, sander, and arc welder, produce particulate debris and often noxious fumes. Particulate debris poses an immediate risk eye injury and often necessitates the use of goggles or other protective eyewear. As well, debris produced by a grinder or sander can scatter widely about a work area, making clean-up tedious and time-consuming.
- The prior art has suggested enclosures that cooperate with a vacuum source to manage debris and fumes produced by operation of power tools and the like. Closed environments may be created around tools and workpieces using rigid or flexible enclosures. Special openings may be provided to permit hand access while preventing any significant scattering of flying debris. A vacuum line may be coupled to the interior of the enclosure to remove air borne contaminants. As well, a movable suction head may be provided in the enclosure to allow a worker to remove particulate debris otherwise accumulating in the interior. Examples of such practices are found in U.S. Pat. No. 1,977,386 to Holes; U.S. Pat. No. 4,813,462 to Linn; U.S. Pat. No. 4,928,348 to Clayton; and, U.S. Pat. No. 5,295,771 to Wehrmann et al.
- Although the prior practices are useful, it would be desirable to provide a vacuum enclosure that not only removes fumes and airborne contaminants but also continually removes particulate debris continuously and effectively during power tool operation without frequent intervention by a worker.
- In one aspect, the invention provides an enclosure that cooperates with a vacuum source to confine and remove debris produced when a tool operates on a workpiece. The enclosure comprises a housing that cooperates with a work plate to define a work chamber. The work plate has an upper work surface that defines the bottom of the work chamber and serves to support tools and workpieces. A window permits viewing into the work chamber, and a hand access port permits manual manipulation of tools and workpieces within the work chamber. A vacuum chamber is formed against a lower surface of the work plate, and the work plate is formed with a multiplicity of holes that place the vacuum chamber in communication with the work chamber. The holes are preferably distributed to span most of the work surface so as to distribute suction and entraining air flows about the work plate. The vacuum source may be remote from the enclosure and coupled to the vacuum chamber with a pressure line, but the source is preferably mounted in the enclosure itself to provide an entirely self-contained unit. In a preferred form, a filtering mechanism is installed in the vacuum chamber to remove debris from entraining air flows, and the debris is allowed to deposit in a tray that can be removed from the housing for cleaning.
- Other aspects of the invention will be apparent from a description below of a preferred embodiment, and will be more specifically defined in the appended claims.
- The invention will be better understood with reference to drawings illustrating a preferred embodiment, in which:
-
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a vacuum enclosure; -
FIG. 2 is a front view of the vacuum enclosure; -
FIG. 3 is a left side view of the vacuum enclosure; -
FIG. 4 is a sectional view along lines 4-4 ofFIG. 3 ; -
FIG. 5 is a sectional view along lines 5-5 ofFIG. 4 ; and, -
FIG. 6 is a fragmented sectional view along lines 6-6 ofFIG. 5 . - An overview of principal components of a vacuum enclosure embodying the invention will be provided with reference to
FIGS. 1 and 5 . - The enclosure includes a
housing 10 formed of wood panels. Thehousing 10 has aleft side wall 12, aright side wall 13, arear wall 14, abottom wall 15, a front wall formed as lower and upper sections, spaced-apart 16, 26, and atop wall 28. Awood work plate 30 cooperates with thehousing 10 to define awork chamber 22 within thehousing 10. Thework plate 30 has an upper work surface that defines the bottom of thework chamber 22 and supports tools or workpieces placed in thework chamber 22. Alight 90 mounted to therear housing wall 14 illuminates thework chamber 22, and a shieldedwindow 11 permits viewing into thework chamber 22 during tool operation and workpiece handling. Thewindow 11 is simply a rigid transparent sheet of plastic fastened with screws (only onescrew 24 specifically identified inFIG. 1 ) totop wall 28 of thehousing 10. - A
removable wood door 17 permits access to the interior of thehousing 10 for insertion or removal of thework plate 30 and ametal tray 45 used to collect debris. Ahand access port 80 in thedoor 17 is normally used to transfer items such as tools or workpieces to and from thework chamber 22 or to reach into thework chamber 22 to handle objects or operate tools. Avacuum chamber 23 is formed against a lower surface of thework plate 30, and thework plate 30 is extensively apertured to place thework chamber 22 in communication with thevacuum chamber 23. A suction orvacuum pump 70 is coupled to thevacuum chamber 23, draws air through thework plate 30, and entrains debris from thework chamber 22 into thevacuum chamber 23. In thevacuum chamber 23, a filtering mechanism separates debris from entraining air flows, and the debris deposits in thetray 45. - The
removable front door 17 is apparent inFIGS. 1-3 . Thedoor 17 seats in a space between the lower and upperfront wall sections handle 27 fastened to the door can be gripped to facilitate installation or removal of thedoor 17. The lower edge of thedoor 17 is overlapped by asteel retaining bar 18 fastened with screws to the lowerfront wall section 16. The upper edge of thedoor 17 is held with aconventional latch 19 that rotates on the upperfront wall section 26 to release or secure thedoor 17. Thedoor 17 may alternatively be hinged to thehousing 10 for pivoting between open and closed orientations. - The
hand access port 80 is apparent inFIGS. 1-3 . Theaccess port 80 includes a rectangular opening (not separately indicated) formed in thedoor 17 and dimensioned to pass a worker's hands. Such dimensioning also allows tools or workpieces to be inserted into thework chamber 22 without requiring removal of thefront door 17 itself. Thehand access port 80 also includes a closure or obstructing mechanism consisting of upper and lower flaps fastened to thehousing 10 with staples, adhesives or other conventional fasteners. Theflaps 85 are formed of rubber and biased by inherent elasticity to the rest orientation shown inFIGS. 1 and 2 . In that orientation, theflaps 85 are coplanar with the opening of theport 80 and free edges of theflaps 85 mate along a horizontal line ofcontact 86, obstructing the opening almost completely against escape of debris. The flaps are free to deflect from a fully closed position on contact with a worker's hand, tools, workpieces or power cords but still significantly reduce the amount of debris that can escape. The flaps also permit ambient air to flow into thework chamber 22 in response to operation of thevacuum pump 70 but a small venting hole may be formed in thehousing 10 if required. Other closure/obstruction mechanism may be used. For example, a single elastic flap may be installed and need not obstruct the opening completely. Other alternatives include use of cloth strips or a vinyl sheet over theaccess port 80. - The
work plate 30 is shown inFIGS. 1, 4 and 5. Thework plate 30 is generally rectangular and dimensioned to conform to internal dimensions of the housing 10 (as most apparent inFIG. 4 ). Near the back of thehousing 10, thework plate 30 rests ontriangular wood rackets 31 fastened to corners of thehousing 10. Near the front of thehousing 10, anelongate wood spacer 32, fastened to the lower surface of thework plate 30 withscrews 36, bears against a wood plate 52 (apparent only inFIG. 5 and described more fully below). Thework plate 30 can consequently be freely removed through thedoor 17 for repair or replacement. A principal alternative is to support thework plate 30 solely with posts or spacers fastened to the bottom of thework plate 30 and positioned to bear against thedebris tray 45. - The
vacuum chamber 23 is most apparent inFIG. 5 . The lower surface of thework plate 30 defines the upper boundary of thevacuum chamber 23, and a lower horizontal wood plate defines the lower boundary of thevacuum chamber 23. Thehousing side walls vacuum chamber 23, as apparent inFIG. 5 . The forward and rear walls close forward and rear edges of thevacuum chamber 23 in a similar manner (not shown). Thesuction pump 70 is mounted to the bottom of thelower plate 52 and draws air through acircular hole 53 centered in thelower plate 52 and functioning as asuction inlet port 80 of thevacuum chamber 23. Thesuction pump 70 expels air through apipe 65 that extends through aclearance hole 66 in theleft housing wall 12. As mentioned above, the suction source may be remote from the enclosure and coupled to thesuction inlet port 53 with a bose. - The
debris tray 45 is located within thevacuum chamber 23 as apparent inFIG. 5 . Thetray 45 has a flat rectangular bottom that seats on the lowerhorizontal plate 52 associated with thevacuum chamber 23. Thetray 45 also has a rectangular side wall whose opposing left andright wall sections 51 are apparent inFIG. 5 . Theleft housing wall 12, theright housing wall 13 and therear housing wall 14 have a composite construction, each comprising anouter wood panel 20 and aninner wood panel 21, glued or otherwise secured to one another. This arrangement (which is not critical) permits parallelhorizontal grooves 46 to be formed in interior surfaces of thehousing side walls grooves 46 receive the opposingwall sections 51 of thetray 45 in relative sliding relationship, permitting extraction of thetray 45 when thefront door 17 is removed. A similar horizontal groove is formed in therear wall 14 of thehousing 10 to partially receive the side wall of thetray 45 ensuring that debris at the rear of thework chamber 22 falls properly into thetray 45. Thedebris tray 45 has acentral flow hole 55 in which a short vertical length ofmetal tube 56 is installed. The hole aligns vertically with the inlet bole orport 53 of thevacuum chamber 23. This arrangement prevents the presence of thetray 45 in the vacuum,chamber 23 from obstructing air flows through thesuction inlet port 53. - The filtering assembly is illustrated in
FIGS. 5 and 6 . The assembly includes afilter support 120 with a flat base and a downwardly extending cylindrical side wall 123 (indicated inFIG. 6 ), and acylindrical filter 125 formed from conventional porous filtering material. Thefilter support 120 is fastened withscrews 122 to the lower surface of thework plate 56, and thecylindrical filter 125 surrounds and elastically grips thefilter support 120. Theside wall 123 of thefilter support 120 has a multiplicity of vertical slots (such as theslot 121 specifically identified inFIG. 6 ) equally spaced circumferentially to permit air to be drawn through thefilter 125 into the interior of thefilter support 120. Thefilter support 120 simply rests on thetray 45 below, and the filtering assembly is consequently removed together with thework plate 30 when thefront door 17 of thehousing 10 is removed. - The aperturing of the
work plate 30 is most apparent inFIG. 4 . A central rectangular area 35 (indicated in phantom outline) has no apertures, which accommodates the mounting of thefilter support 120 and thecylindrical filter 125 against the lower surface of thework plate 30. Horizontally outward of thecentral area 35, thework plate 30 hasmultiple holes 34 arranged in a regular array of rows and columns and spanning most of the upper surface of thework plate 30. Theholes 34 may be countersunk to further encourage debris to fall into theholes 34 for entrainment into thevacuum chamber 23. The left, right, and rear edges of thework plate 30 are formed with elongate recesses that cooperates with the housing walls to define threeslots 33 through which suction can draw debris into the vacuum chamber. This encourages removal of debris that would otherwise accumulate at lower edges of thework chamber 22. - Electric power required for operation of the enclosure is supplied with power cords collectively indicated in
FIG. 3 withreference number 71. Aprincipal power cord 72 can be plugged into a conventional AC line source (not shown). A manually-operatedswitch 145 receives AC power along thepower cord 72. In an ON position, theswitch 145 supplies power to thevacuum pump 70 along apower cord 73 that extends into thehousing 10 through alower clearance hole 25 formed in therear housing wall 14. Theswitch 145 simultaneously supplies power to the light 90 along anotherpower cord 74 that extends into thehousing 10 through anupper clearance hole 91 in therear housing wall 14. - A significant advantage is that the
work plate 30 with its extensive array ofholes 34 cooperates with thevacuum chamber 23 to distribute suction about the work surface and effectively remove debris that settles on the work surface. As well, theslots 33 remove debris that would otherwise lodge at the base of chamber walls. Within practical limits, the work chamber may be self-cleaning. - Other changes can be made to the enclosure of
FIGS. 1-5 . In the enclosure above, theholes 34 of thework plate 30 serve as the primary means for directing suction into thework chamber 22, and the slots orgaps 33 at the periphery of thework plate 30 are secondary. If thework plate 30 is supported directly from thedebris tray 45 or thelower plate 52 with spacers such as cylindrical posts inset from corners of the work plate, thecorner brackets 31 andelongate spacer 32 can be eliminated, leaving the perimeter of thework chamber 22 unobstructed. Thework plate 30 can then be dimensioned and shaped to define a continuous gap between edges of thework plate 30 and interior surfaces of the work chamber, which may be expanded to accommodate larger air flows. The gap then functions as the primary means of directing suction into thework chamber 22. This arrangement enhances the collection and entrainment of debris along edges of thework chamber 22. The general configuration of an enclosure embodying such changes is shown inFIGS. 7 and 8 . - Various materials and fabricating techniques may be substituted for those described. The
housing 10 is preferably formed of wood to reduce cost and weight. A steel or plastic construction might be adopted but such materials might require milling, welding, molding of grooves, or provision of more complex and expensive joints between panels. With a steel construction, thehousing 10 may be unduly heavy or unduly flimsy if thin metal sheet is used. Thework plate 30 is expect to be scored or otherwise damaged, for example during grinding operations, and trying to protect its upper surface may be impractical and not conducive to quick use of tools. For such reasons, thework plate 30 is preferably formed of wood, once again light, inexpensive and easily replaced. Other material substitutions should be apparent to those skilled in the fabrication art. Also, the enclosure may be dimensioned and shaped to enclose larger pieces of machinery, such as drill presses. - It will be appreciated that a particular embodiment of the invention has been described together with suggested modifications and that further modifications may be made without necessarily departing from the scope of the appended claims.
