Abstract: This invention relates to a device for driving a drilling or percussion tool having a spindle that rotates with respect to a housing. One end of the spindle is adapted to fasten to a tool piece and the other end is connected to an oscillating percussion body movable in the housing by means of a guideway. A drive shaft rotates the tool spindle into rotation or actuates the percussion body via a transmission that is provided with means for converting the rotary motion of the drive shaft into an oscillatory motion of a drive member. The drive member is connected to the percussion body through an elastic member having a non-linear sping characteristic.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for collecting dust and particles produced in machining a workpiece. The method and apparatus uses a shroud formed by a pair of frusta-conical walls spaced apart from each other to define an annular air passage therebetween. The shroud is mounted so that the machine tool extends through a central opening formed in the shroud. The annular air passage has an upper air inlet intersecting the air passage with a cylindrical component and a lower air outlet facing inwardly toward the machine tool. Pressurized air flows into the air passage and is thus directed from the air outlet toward the machine tool in a swirling manner. At the same time, a vacuum withdraws air from within the shroud to collect dust and chips produced by the machine tool.

Abstract: An antiscattering device for the collection of waste material (dust, shavings) produced in the course of drilling, milling and similar operations, to be fitted in the most appropriate way on machine tools and basically made up of a bellows shaped bell (e.g. frustum-conical), provided, if required, with an axially elastic vacuum cleaner or extractor--which can be fitted on the machine tools themselves. This bell is permanently or temporarily secured to the frames of machine tools (e.g. manually, on a drill), coaxially to the drill bit while its base, provided with a seal ring, rests on the surface of the material to be drilled, thereby creating, with its shell, a receptacle where the waste material collects.

Abstract: Core water and mud collector tool for use by a carrotting drill during the piercing of a concrete floor, said tool being connected as an adaptor between the motor shaft and the shoulder of the circular carrotting drill. Circulating through said tool is a liquid first applied at the exterior of the core drill, passing between the diamond bit segments, and being aspirated to the top between the carrot and the interior of the drill, to be evacuated through the interior of the above adaptor by holes of sizes increasing starting from the inside of the adaptor shaft, going through the wall of said shaft, the tunnel opening of the barrel and the suction tube. The suction has for effect to conserve the carrot in the interior of the carrotting drill when the concrete floor is pierced, such suction helping to exert a reaction in the direction of drilling which facilitates drilling as water is being aspirated, instead of being projected by jet, thus keeping the zone surrounding the punched hole clean.

Abstract: A piece of wood is prepared for impregnation by causing it in steps to be perforated by a plurality of needles which are moved back and forth with the workpiece, and either rotate individually or are subject to additional oscillatory or impact-producing axial movement.

Abstract: A device for removing plugs from plugged tubes in a steam generator including a frame having a substantially flat plate, with a hollow drill bit mounted thereon and movable generally perpendicularly with respect thereto from a storage position to an operating position. An elongated retaining pin extends through the hollow drill bit and therebeyond having threads on one end thereof for attachment to the plug to be drilled. Actuating means moves the drill bit between the storage position thereof and the operating position thereof, motor means is mounted on the frame for rotating the drill bit. An air-water mixture is introduced near where the drill bit meets the plug to be drilled, the water being present in an amount of about one-half volume percent, and a vacuum is used to collect and remove the air-water mixture and any debris entrained therewith due to drilling the associated plug.

Abstract: To remove, by suction, chips and debris arising in operation of a hand-cutting tool, for example a sheet-metal nibbling tool, a saber saw, or the like, an ejection nozzle is surrounded by a preferably plastic body defining, internally a Venturi, and externally of the ejection nozzle a vacuum, underpressure or suction chamber which is connected through a preferably flexible hose to a suction pick-up nozzle, removably attached adjacent a reciprocating tool at the working or cutting head of the tool. The suction pick-up nozzle preferably includes a chamber in direct air communication with the tool so that chips which arise in tool operation are directly drawn into the pick-up nozzle for removal, by air flow suction, through the suction duct and to a collecting and disposal hose.

Abstract: A surgical device for excision of tissue, the device being particularly suitable for removal of cataracts from the eye, includes a rotating stylus, a source of fluid for washing away excised tissue and a vacuum tube for removal of slurry consisting of excised tissue suspended in washing fluid. The assembly is small enough to be hand-held and insertable through a small incision.

Abstract: A cutter head for cutting templates from cardboards, plastics, and the like, which includes a high speed rotatable cutting stylus, and a holding-down device for holding down the material from which the templates are to be cut out. The holding-down device surrounds the cutting stylus and is firmly but adjustably connected to a non-rotatable but axially freely movable member of the cutter head.

Abstract: A drill is disclosed having a shroud structure extending about a chuck and drill bit at the forward end of the tool, to receive cuttings produced by the bit, and having a receptacle preferably carried at the rear end of the drill and to which the cuttings are withdrawn by a flow of air. In one form of the invention, the air movement is induced by aspirator action, while in another form a rotary air pump driven by the motor of the drill creates the suction effect. The receptacle may take the form of a cup detachably connectible to the body of the drill, and in the aspirator form of the invention the aspirating passages may be formed in an end wall of this cup. The shroud structure may include a sleeve disposed about the drill bit, and having a lug projecting inwardly to a position to contact and break up cuttings formed by the bit before they are withdrawn to the accumulation receptacle.
