  • Publication number: 20210001356
    Abstract: A negative-pressure dust collector system employs a dust separator device to separate the dust that is entrained in a stream of dust-laden air, exhausts the air stream to a vacuum-inducing machine, and discharge the separated dust downward into a bagger arrangement. The latter employs an open-bottom generally rigid hopper with a grid across its open bottom. A flexible dust collection bag is clamped onto an exterior of the hopper and hangs from the hopper. Under vacuum, the bag closes off the open bottom of said hopper. The grid has openings dimensioned so that dust in the container passes freely through the grid when the vacuum-inducing machine is shut off, but so that the bag may be sucked up against the grid, but not sucked into the open-bottom hopper when vacuum is applied. A flexible apron may be attached to the bottom of the hopper between the grid and the dust-collection bag.

  • Patent number: 10603754
    Abstract: A universal-fit vacuum assisted router hood tool attaches to the router to capture dust and particles generated by the router bit. A generally planar base plate is adapted to mount to the flat base of the router. The base plate has a central opening centered on the axis of the router so that associated router bit protrudes through. A dust collection dome is rotationally positioned in the central opening, and the dome has a central opening at the axis of the router A cuff connector extending out from the dust collection dome to a hose cuff that can receive a hose of a dust extractor. An annular flange within the dome at the top opening prevents dust and particulates from exiting the top opening of the dome.

  • Publication number: 20200064018
    Abstract: A sound absorbing filter for a dust collector system is attached downstream of the system air blower and ahead of the cylindrical HEPA filter cartridge. The sound filter is formed of a cylindrical barrel or shell, favorably steel, another metal, plastics, or composite with end-caps bonded on. The cylindrical shell interior is lined with plural annular layers of sound absorbing materials. The sound absorbing elements are retained with two or more thin retainer plates The lining can comprise a radial outer layer of compressed fiber batting, and a radial inner layer of convoluted acoustic polyurethane foam 1 to 2 inches thick. The foam lining protects the fiberglass from the air flow reducing fiber shedding, and also absorbs higher frequencies, with the fiberglass being more absorptive of lower frequencies.

  • Publication number: 20190107374
    Abstract: An ordnance for air-borne delivery to a target under remotely controlled in-flight navigation. In one embodiment, self-powered aerial ordnance includes upper and lower cases. A plurality of co-axial, deployable blades is powered by a motor positioned in the upper case. When deployed, the blades are rotatable about the upper case to impart thrust and bring the vehicle to a first altitude above a target position. An explosive material and a camera are positioned in a lower case which is attached to the upper case. The camera generates a view along the ground plane and above the target when the ordinance is in flight. When the vehicle is deployed it is remotely controllable to deliver the vehicle to the target to detonate the explosive at the target. The ordnance may drop directly on a target as a bomb does.
