Protective, convenient-to-use air compressor structure
A protective, convenient-to-use air compressor structure comprised of an air compression-use main component and a compressed air storage tank and a low and a high protective lifting handle respectively disposed at the outer periphery of the main component and air storage tank. Multi-faceted, non-angularly contoured guard plates situated around the main component conceal and cover it, the low and high protective lifting handle are continuously bent into a left and right symmetrical shirt shape. As such, since the face plate and the high protective lifting handle prevent human contact with the main component operating at high temperature and, furthermore, since the high protective lifting handle can be folded out of the way, since arcuate hooks provide for hanging tools and extension cords, and a tool box is built into the face plate, the present invention features a center of gravity that affords overall stability and is convenient to utilize.
1. Field of the Invention
The invention herein relates to a protective, convenient-to-use air compressor structure that by design prevents burns to operating personnel, does not occupy considerable space, provides for hanging hand tools and extension cords, facilitates the hand tool placement, and is equipped with wheels, enabling the present invention to have center of gravity that affords overall stability and that is convenient to utilize and, furthermore, also provides for a protected main component and air storage tank that prevents contact and damage.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Currently available air compressor structures typically consists of an air compression-use main component and a tank, in which air is stored after compression, disposed in an upper and lower stacked arrangement, with wheels mounted below the outer periphery of the air storage tank. Such structures have not changed for decades and people have become accustomed to them as a commonplace configuration. Thus, no further thought has emerged with regard to improving utilization convenience or whether the design could incorporate further stability. After all, air compressors today appear to be rather top heavy to the extent that people feel that an instance of carelessness could result in a knock down, resulting in serious damage to the main component at the upper extent as well as the air storage tank. Additionally, high-temperature heat is generated after the main component is operating, at which time imprudently touching it dangerously results in an accidental burn; the intense heat does not decrease immediately after air compressor operation ceases and accident potential remains as the heat dissipates. As such, it can be observed that conventional air compressors now available have numerous drawbacks.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTIONIn view of the said observed drawbacks, the inventor herein developed the present invention which is submitted in application for patent rights, wherein:
The primary objective of the invention herein is to provide a protective, convenient-to-use air compressor structure comprised of an air compression-use main component and a compressed air storage tank as well as a low and a high protective lifting handle respectively disposed at the outer periphery of the said main component and air storage tank, wherein multi-faceted, non-angularly contoured guard plates situated around the main component conceal and cover it, the low and high protective lifting handle are continuously bent into a left and right symmetrical shirt shape and, furthermore, the high protective lifting handle is a two-part, foldable member, and there are wheels underneath the high protective lifting handle; as such, since a face plate and the high protective lifting handle prevent human contact with the main component operating at high temperature and, furthermore, since the high protective lifting handle can be folded out of the way, the present invention has a center of gravity that affords overall stability and is convenient to utilize and, furthermore, also provides for a protected main component and air storage tank that prevents contact and damage.
Another objective of the invention herein is to provide a protective, convenient-to-use air compressor structure in which a plurality of upwardly and downwardly oriented arcuate hooks are disposed in the high protective lifting handle for hanging hand tools and extension cords and a face plate positioned at the upper extent of the main component has a built-in a tool box, thereby facilitating convenient usage.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
Referring to
As a result, since the entire main component 1 is concealed and covered by the guard plates 4, the main component 1 is protected from the impact of falling tools A (as shown in
Since the invention herein features a center of gravity that affords overall stability and is convenient to utilize and, furthermore, also provides for a protected main component and air storage tank that prevents contact and damage, and thus is demonstrably progressive, the present invention meets the new patent application requirements stipulated by Article 97 of the Patent Law and is submitted to the Patent Bureau for review and the granting of the commensurate patent rights.
Claims
1. A protective, convenient-to-use air compressor structure comprised of an air compression-use main component and a compressed air storage tank as well as a low and a high protective lifting handle respectively disposed at the outer periphery of the said main component and the said air storage tank, wherein multi-faceted, non-angularly contoured guard plates situated around the main component conceal and cover it, the said low and high protective lifting handle are continuously bent into a left and right symmetrical shirt shape and, furthermore, the said high protective lifting handle is a two-part, foldable member which also has a plurality of upwardly and downwardly oriented arcuate hooks that provides for hanging hand tools and extension cords; a face plate positioned at the upper extent of the said main component has several indicator meters, tie openings, and a tool box; and there are wheels underneath the said high protective lifting handle; as such, since the entire said main component is concealed and covered by the said guard plates, the said face plate is positioned at the upper extent of the said main component, and the said high protective lifting handle is disposed at the outer periphery of the said main component, human contact with the said main component operating at high temperature is not possible, thereby precluding accidental burns and, furthermore, since the said high protective lifting handle can be folded out of the way and the said arcuate hooks provide for hanging tools and extension cords, and the said tool box is built into the said face plate, the present invention features a center of gravity that affords overall stability and is convenient to utilize and, furthermore, also provides for a protected main component and air storage tank that prevents contact and damage.
2. As mentioned in claim 2 of the protective, convenient-to-use air compressor structure of the invention herein, the said high protective lifting handle consists of a two-part, L-shaped upper coupling extremity and lower coupling extremity, the said upper coupling extremity and the said lower coupling extremity each having a through-hole that enables the fastening by a bolt, with the said lower coupling extremity also having a through-hole in line with the through-hole of a spanner rod that is conjoined into position via a locating bolt; as such, the said spanner rod is operated to place the said high protective lifting handle into a straight or folded mode to facilitate storage and save space.
