Description
- This application claims the benefit under 35 U.S.C. §119 of U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 61/922,966, filed Jan. 2, 2014, which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.
- The present invention relates to hand held tool accessories, specifically to accessories that collect air born particles created when abrasive stones or bits are used to grind softer materials.
- Hand held tools create dust and debris. Rotary grinders, in particular, create large amounts of fine dust. The dust is inhaled and deposited in the eyes and on the skin of people and animals in the immediate area of the grinding operation. The dust created can be a health hazard.
- In recent years the use of rotary grinders has become a preferred method of trimming and buffing nails. Particularly in the pet grooming industry, groomers are using rotary grinders in increasing numbers. There is a concern about the consequences of breathing the particles that are created when the nails are ground. The dust created is irritating to the lungs and eyes of people and animals and can trigger asthma attacks. Operators can also be exposed to biohazards such as bacteria and protozoa contained in the dust.
- When using a rotary grinder on people and animals, it is also important to have a clear sight of the grinding bit and its contact point as contact with soft tissue would cause injury. It would therefore be advantageous to develop an apparatus for reducing the dangers of using rotary grinders by collecting the grinding dust while allowing the operator a clear view of the object being grinded.
- One object of the present invention is to collect the dust created when using a rotary grinding tool and evacuate it by positioning a properly proportioned nozzle and vacuum source near the grinding bit, cutting wheel, sander, or other source of the dust.
- Another object of the present invention is to allow the operator full visibility of the grinding bit. This is achieved by not employing a shroud around the bit. This also allows the bit of the grinder to be replaced without detaching the dust collection attachment from the grinder.
- Still another object of the present invention is to provide uniform airflow around the full girth of the grinding bit by utilizing a minimally restrictive air flow path.
- Briefly stated, yet another aspect of the present invention provides a device that is easily attached to a portable handheld rotary grinder. Dust removal is accomplished by operably connecting the device to a vacuum source. The device is comprised of a singular tube that is positioned along a portion of the length of the grinder body, extending towards the rear of the grinder where it connects to the vacuum source. In one embodiment, the tube conforms to the general shape of the grinder's body, sweeping gradually toward the end positioned adjacent to the grinding bit. The end proximate the grinding bit is terminated in such a way that the side walls of the opening of the tube are parallel to the grinding surface of the grinding bit. In one embodiment, the size of the opening is substantially the size of the grinding bit. Preferably, the opening is slightly longer and wider than the bit. The path of the rotating bit can extend slightly into the plane created by the opening at the end of the tube near the grinding bit. Alternatively, the path of the bit can be adjacent to the plane of the opening. The tube is attached to the grinder utilizing a thin plate with a hole that is adapted to engage the body of the grinder. A band strap can be added to steady the end of the tube connected to the vacuum source.

FIG. 5 is a side view of an alternative embodiment of the invention. - The tool dust control attachment 1 is comprised of a
tube 10 having afirst end 15 and asecond end 20. There areopenings tube 10 to allow passage of dust through the tube. The attachment 1 further has a mounting tab 7, which is used to secure the too dust control attachment 1 to grinder 2. At thefirst end 15 of the attachment 1 is anopening 18 adapted to collect dust dispersed by the grindingbit 5 of the rotary tool 2. Thesecond end 20 of thetube 10 is adapted to connect to a source of vacuum, embodied as anelectric vacuum cleaner 3 as shown inFIG. 1B . As seen in FIG. 1A, hose 4 fluidly connects the tool dust control device 1 to thevacuum cleaner 3 at vacuum connection 21. - Though the invention is described being assembled to a rotary grinder 2, it is not to be limited to only being compatible with a rotary grinder 2. The tool dust control attachment can be adapted to routers, oscillating multi-tools, or any other tool that creates dust. In addition, the tool dust control attachment 1 can be constructed of metal, plastic, or any material capable of retaining its shape under vacuum pressure.
- The grinder 2 shown in
FIGS. 1-3 can be one of many commercially available rotary grinders, such as a DREMEL® rotary tool, and can be purchased from a variety of venders and retail outlets. Such grinders operate between 10000-15000 rpm and are capable of spreading fine particles of dust at these speeds. Thevacuum source 3 can be of the type generally described as a shop vacuum or any other vacuum source with a hose extension. The grinder 2 is typically fitted with a grindingbit 5 such as an abrasive stone, sanding disk, or rotary file by means of acollet 6 or chuck. - Tool dust control attachment 1 is capable of being attached to the body of the grinder 2 by a mounting tab 7. As shown in
FIG. 2 , mounting tab 7 is a flat plate that can be secured under theretaining nut 8 of the grinder 2. The mounting tab 7 can be of varied thickness, but should not be so thick that it interferes with the operation of retainingnut 8 on the threadedend 13 of grinder 2.FIG. 1 depicts this preferred embodiment, with the tab 7 under retainingnut 8. As further shown inFIG. 2 , mounting tab 7 has anopening 12 large enough to receive the threadedend 13 of the rotary grinder 2. Retainingnut 8, which is part of the grinder 2, is tightened on threadedend 13 with thin mounting plate 7 interposed between the retainingnut contact surface 14—which is typically part of the body of grinder 2—and retainingnut 8, thereby retaining thin mounting tab 7 and securing rotary grinder dust control attachment 1 to grinder 2. The mounting tab 7 extends laterally fromtube 10. In alternative embodiments, mounting tab 7 can be a clamp-like device or a ring, as shown inFIG. 3 , that engages the body of grinder 2. - In one embodiment, end 15 of
tube 10 is bent at an angle β towards the grindingbit 5 when assembled to grinder 2. As shown inFIG. 2 , angle β is the angle between a surface of thetube 10 along the main body and a surface of thetube 10 at thefirst end 15 proximate the grindingbit 5. In the preferred embodiment, the bend begins at longitudinal point P1 alongtube 10 adjacent mounting plate 7 and continues along a length L2 oftube 10, thereby directingnozzle 11 near the grindingbit 5. - Angle β is about 25 to 35 degrees in the embodiment shown in
FIG. 2 . However, as a person having skill in the art will appreciate, angle β is dependent on the length ofend 15 and the shape of grinder 2. If the length ofend 15 is longer, angle β will be less steep than ifend 15 is shorter. In the preferred embodiment, the bend of thetube 10 is gradual—meaning it does not have sharp creases intube 10—to maintain optimum airflow. - The radial distance L1 from the center of
hole 12 in the mounting plate 7 to the outer wall of thetube 10 is dependent on the size of the body of grinder 2, and is nearly equal to the radius of the body of grinder 2 at its largest point when thetube 10 runs parallel along the length of the grinder 2, as shown inFIG. 1A . Alternatively, the distance L1 is less than the radius of the largest point as long as the distance is sufficient to allowend 15 to clear thecollet 6, and retainingnut 8. An additional band 9 or strap can be added near the center or end of the body of the grinder 2 to stabilize the tool dust control attachment 1 with respect to grinder 2. A similar band 9 can be used to stabilize the hose 4 to the grinder 2. -
Tube 10 has anopening 18, formingnozzle 11, at theend 15 adjacent to the grindingbit 5. At the opposite end, ordistal end 20, is a vacuum tube connection 21. In the preferred embodiment, the vacuum connection 21 is an area at the end of thetube 10 that receives a hose 4 from thevacuum source 3. The hose 4 can be held to thetube 10 by a friction fit, gasket, set screw, or other means typically used for securing a vacuum to an attachment. For example, a common connection means is providing the attachment with an outer diameter that is substantially the inside diameter of the hose, so that the hose 4 slides over the attachment. A taper on either the hose 4 or attachment secures the connection. Alternatively,FIG. 5 shows as setscrew 22. - Referring again to
FIG. 1A , tool dust control attachment 1 hastube body 10 that can be substantially straight and follows along the body of the grinder 2. In this embodiment,tube 10 extends beyond the rear of the grinder body. Alternatively,tube body 10 of the grinder can extend to a point along the body of the grinder. - Now turning to
FIG. 3 , theend 15 oftube 10 is cut near the intersection point of the grindingbit 5 to form opening 18 onnozzle 11. Angle θ is the angle between the plane of opening 18 and the sidewall oftube 10 atend 15. This angle is partially dependent on the sweep ofend 15 and the proximity tocollet 6. In the embodiment shown inFIG. 3 , the plane of opening 18 (identified as P2 inFIG. 3 ) is substantially parallel to theside 16 of thecylindrical bit 5, which is represented by angle α. The plane of opening 18 is also substantially parallel to rotating axis X. As further shown inFIG. 3 , rotating axis X is co-axial with a center line ofhole 12 in mounting tab 7. Thenozzle opening 18 can be flared to an oval shape to form anozzle 11 and is larger than the length D of the grindingbit 5. Alternatively, opening 11 can be formed to other shapes than an oval. For example, for a flat grinding stone, the shape of opening 18 could be flattened as well. - Referring again to
FIG. 3 , it can be seen that theend 15 oftube 10 does not obstruct the view of the grindingbit 5. In addition, the position of the tool attachment 1 does not inhibit the operator from accessing thecollet 6. This allows the operator to replace the grindingbit 5 without removing attachment 1. In the preferred embodiment, theside 16 of the grindingbit 5 just contacts or breaks the plane P2 of theopening 18, which is defined by thewalls 17 oftube 10 formingopening 18.FIG. 4 shows an alternative view withwalls 17 clearly defining theopening 18. Alternatively, the plane of opening 18 is positioned adjacent to the outer circumference of grindingbit 5. - Although
FIG. 3 depicts plane P2 nearly parallel, it can be oriented at an angle a relative to axis X ranging from −30 degrees to 30 degrees or any acceptable angle appropriate of a desired tool. Angle α can be varied depending on the shape of the grindingbit 5. For example, the angle can be negative for a pyramid-shapedbit 5. The configuration of opening 18 onnozzle 11 allows fluid flow around the grindingbit 5 to modify the spray pattern towards the opening 18 in thenozzle 11 such that substantially all of the dust and debris entersopening 10.Opening 18 can also be adapted to other shapes than a flat plane to more closely match the shape of grindingbit 5. However, the shape ofnozzle 11 should not obstruct the view of an operator or prevent removal of the bit. - In an alternative embodiment, as shown in
FIG. 5 , the body of the tool dust control attachment is substantially straight. That is, angle β is around zero. To position the tip close to the grindingbit 5, thetube 10 as a whole is angled relative to the body of grinder 2. Stated differently, the axis of thetube 10 is not parallel to a line extending along the length of the rotary tool 2. The angle of thetube 10 is set by attaching the mounting tab 7 at an angle relative to thetube 10. As shown inFIG. 5 , the angle of tab 7 will result in a similar angle betweentube 10 and the body of rotary grinder 2 because the center of the mounting tab 7, when attached, aligns with the centerline of the rotary grinder 2. As shown inFIG. 5 , the angle is around 40 degrees. In this embodiment, thefirst end 15 is positioned relative to grindingbit 5 in a similar manner to the previously described embodiment. For example, theside walls 17 of thenozzle 11 are parallel to the grindingbit 5 and thebit 5 extends into a plane defined by theopening 18 of thenozzle 11. Alternatively, thebit 5 can be adjacent to the plane. - While the disclosure has been described in detail and with reference to specific embodiments thereof, it will be apparent to one skilled in the art that various changes and modifications can be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the embodiments. Thus, it is intended that the present disclosure cover the modifications and variations of this disclosure provided they come within the scope of the appended claims and their equivalents.
