  • Patent number: 4905421
    Abstract: A disk grinding machine includes a grinding disk (5a), driven by a driving shaft. A handle projects laterally out of a machine housing and is covered by the machine housing. A dust suction installation with a suction hood is provided which covers the upper side of the grinding disk and overlaps its circumference. The installation contains a suction chamber having a bristle rim at its lower end which is fastened to the machine housing. The bristle rim extends only over a part of the circumference of the suction hood. The grinding dust is picked up through the area between the circumference of the grinding disk and the bristle rim and to the suction chamber (11a). The upper part of the suction hood is connected to the machine casing and a lower part of the hood is disposed pivotally and independent from the grinding disk and it supports a bristle rim. A handle for the machine comprises a control grip which is in a driving connection with the lower part of the hood through a drive.

  • Patent number: 4899495
    Abstract: A disc wheel sanding machine includes a disc wheel rotated by a drive shaft. The sanding machine has a dust extraction device with a dust extraction hood comprising an extraction chamber which surrounds the disc wheel. The hood of the dust extraction device ends above the disc wheel bottom, and a closing wall in the form of a bristle ring or such like protrudes from the bottom of the hood and can be positioned on the work piece. The bristle ring only encircles a part of the periphery of the disc wheel and forms a suction slot diverging outwardly toward the front end in the direction of rotation of the disc wheel and is open toward the work piece. The sanding dust is sucked through the suction slot at the disc wheel periphery into the extraction chamber. The rear end of the bristle ring with regard to the direction of rotation closes in on the disc wheel periphery and forms a rear seal for the suction slot.

  • Patent number: 4606685
    Abstract: A router comprises a cage supporting a drive unit having a shaft on which a cutter can be fixed. A rest plate is provided with an aperture for moving the cutter therethrough. The rest plate is connected to the cage through two guide columns on which it is displaceable in axial directions of the cutter and arrestable in a selected position. The rest plate is a hollow structure open downwardly where it is closed by a detachable cover having a smooth outer surface. A cavity of the plate communicates with and encircles the aperture 21 for the cutter and grows toward an exhaust connection which extends tangentially to the cutter, i.e. in the direction in which the millings are thrown. The exhaust connection can be connected to an exhauster. Laterally on the rest plate, an adjustable slide stop may be provided having an angled leg which can be brought into a position flush with the bottom surface of the rest plate or moved downward therefrom.

  • Patent number: 4566830
    Abstract: The spindle can be rotated by way of a set wheel, and thus displaced within the spindle guide. At the end of this displacement, the spindle butts against one of the set screws of a turret stop provided on the rest plate. The spindle can be locked to the respective set screw by way of a swing extension. The spindle may be hollow to pass therethrough a tool and finely adjust the set screw already locked to the spindle.
