  • Patent number: 7399004
    Abstract: A universal attachment for capturing and utilizing exhaust gas from pneumatic power tools having a conventional pressurized gas line connection and a conventional exhaust gas port, includes an inner sleeve member having at least one exhaust outlet and being configured to accommodate a conventional gas line assembly there within. An outer sleeve member is configured to accommodate the inner sleeve member there within. At least one spring is disposed between the inner sleeve member and the outer sleeve member. In use with a pneumatic power tool, the outer sleeve member is securely held against the tool by way of coupling the conventional gas line assembly, placed within the inner sleeve member, to the conventional pressurized gas line connection of the tool.

  • Publication number: 20040060719
    Abstract: A universal suction attachment for pneumatic power tools includes a housing having a tool coupling portion, a duct portion, and a focused outflow portion. The tool coupling portion is capable of connection to an exhaust port of the pneumatic power tool such that exhaust air from the tool is captured therewithin. The focused outflow portion is capable of connection to a vacuum conduit and to a collection tube. A duct is provided throughout the duct portion, providing flow between the tool coupling portion and the focused outflow portion. In use, exhaust air from the power tool that is captured within the tool coupling portion is ducted through the duct portion and into the focused outflow portion. A resulting flow of the exhaust air creates a vacuum in the vacuum conduit to transport debris to the collection tube.
