Abstract: The shaking mechanism for the filter bags in the dust removal section of an abrasive blast cabinet includes a shaker rod from which the filter bags are suspended. The shaker rod is mounted for both axial movement along and rotational movement about its longitudinal axis and is axially reciprocated in response to rotating an operating handle located at the front of the cabinet in opposite directions. During axial movement of the shaker rod, a laterally extending follower member rides along oppositely inclined cam surfaces on laterally spaced ramps, causing a simultaneous rotation of the shaker rod and thereby imparting both lateral and longitudinal shaking movement on the filter bags to improve the shaking action for dislodging particulate material collected on a surface of the filter bags.
