  • Publication number: 20160270612
    Abstract: An ergonomic vacuum-assist scraper tool has an arcuately curved head in which a scraper blade is mounted at either of a front position or a rear position, a handle or grip portion, and a tubular connector portion adapted to receive a male or female vacuum hose fitting. The head has a cavity defined between front and back walls, with the front and back walls converging along an arc to a mouth or slot opening. The grip portion is hollow and tubular, extending proximally from the head, to the vacuum hose-accepting tubular connector. A scraper blade can be removably mounted at either of the blade mounting positions. The tool is formed of upper and lower halves that snap together along a partition line.

  • Patent number: 9399184
    Abstract: A cyclonic portable vacuum cleaner/dust collector has a cyclonic chamber and a filter chamber. The filter chamber contains a filter cartridge with a hollow core positioned over the discharge opening of a motor plate that closes the filter chamber. A vacuum blower is mounted on the motor plate, with an intake tube at the discharge opening of the motor plate. An anti-deflagration screen mounted upon the discharge opening of the cover plate of the filter chamber. The anti-deflagration screen is in the form of a metal mesh creating a multiplicity of small passages to permit exhaust air flow from the filter chamber but blocking any flame front. The screen may be hemispherically domed.

  • Patent number: 9370740
    Abstract: A stacking modular filter arrangement may be employed as a final filter for the dust collector for woodshop or other environment in which dust in an air stream is separated out and the exhausted air is filtered in the final filter to return to the ambient. The filter arrangement employs at least first and second filter modules of similar section, and a number of clamp members to hold facing end plates of the filter modules and pull the end plates against one another with one or more gasket members compressed between them. This arrangement permits the available filter area of the final filter to be customized to the customer's needs.

  • Patent number: 9248401
    Abstract: A separator including a vessel, a tray assembly positioned within the vessel, and a wall structure arranged to accumulate a first liquid and a second liquid. A first automatic drain valve is operable to automatically allow liquid accumulated above a first liquid outlet to pass from the vessel in such a way as to maintain a volume of the first liquid above the first automatic drain valve to create a liquid seal over the first automatic drain valve, and a second automatic drain valve is operable to automatically allow liquid accumulated above the level of an open upper end of the wall structure to pass from the vessel in such a way as to maintain a volume of the second liquid above the second automatic drain valve to create a liquid seal over the second automatic drain valve.
