Abstract: A surface treating adapter device for use in combination with a recirculating abrading device includes an adapter housing affording a hollow cup-shaped chamber, an aperture in the housing to receive the discharge nozzle of an abrasive gun, an exhaust outlet including means for detachably engaging a low pressure line from the abrading device, interchangeable hollow working tool members, and tubular connecting members releasably and adjustably joining the adapter housing and a selected one of the tool members. The tool members which contact the surface to be abraded are each of varying configuration for accommodating surfaces of varying contour and for making a sealing engagement therewith. The abrading operation is performed within the confines of the tool member being used. Abrasive is introduced through the housing aperture and impinges upon the surface area enclosed by the tool member.

Abstract: A portable abrading cabinet device is provided for use in a recycling abrasive blasting system. The cabinet device includes a cup-shaped housing affording an inner blasting chamber. The forward open end of the housing has a peripheral resilient seal to provide airtight engagement with the surface to be abraded. The housing has an inlet aperture for the barrel of a sand blasting gun which delivers rapidly moving abrasive material to the surface to be worked. A funnel-shaped exhaust means in the housing terminates in a fitting which detachably receives a conduit connected to accommodate an external source of vacuum so that spent abrasive and debris may be removed from the inner blasting chamber of the cabinet housing. A transparent window member in the housing permits an operator to observe the abrading operation, the window member being partially shielded by a pair of deflectors which redirect ricocheting abrasive and debris within the cabinet housing.
