  • the venturi tube 12 is arranged so that the inlet thereof confronts with the air exhaust tube 7 via a gap. There is a space extending from the shroud through the venturi tube. When the air flows out of the outlet 11, a negative pressure is produced by a venturi mechanism, so that the space serves as a dust vacuuming path 13.

Consequently, the amount of the air flow through the outlet 11 varies with the rotational speed of the air-powered motor, and therefore, so does the magnitude of the negative pressure produced by the venturi mechanism in the dust vacuuming path. In other words, low rotational speed will lead to insufficient vacuum within the sander and to reduced dust collection efficiency.

In this state, the negative pressure produced in the dust vacuuming path 13 was measured.
  • the dust- vacuuming sander of the present invention is able to produce approximately constant negative pressure in the dust vacuum path by operating the valve 15, independent of rotational speed of the air-powered motor.
  • a hook material of a mechanical fastener was attached to the supporting surface, and a bolt for attaching to the air-powered motor in the dust vacuuming sander was attached to the back surface, of a commercially available solid (non-perforated) backup pad having a diameter of 125 mm. Perforations were then formed in this pad material to form a perforated structure, and thus a backup pad was obtained.
  • a lO mm-thick foam sheet was punched into a circle 125 mm in diameter.
  • a hook material of a mechanical fastener was attached to the supporting surface of the resultant foam disc and a loop material of the mechanical fastener was attached to the back surface.
  • Perforations were formed in the disc material to form a perforation structure, and thus an intermediate pad was obtained.
  • a nylon pile loop material of a mechanical fastener was attached to the back surface of an abrasive material "Disc Unicut P400" having a diameter of 125 mm, made by Sumitomo 3M Ltd. Perforations were formed in the abrasive material to form a perforation structure, and thus, an abrasive material in disk form was obtained.
  • the perforation structures for the backup pad, the intermediate pad and the abrasive material in disk form were the three types (7 perforations, 49 perforations, and 61 perforations) as shown in Fig. 15.
  • a dust vacuuming sander apparatus was constructed by attaching the backup pad, the intermediate pad and the abrasive material in disk form to the dust vacuuming sander (double action type) of Example A.
  • the perforation structures employed for the examples were shown in Table 3.
  • a dust vacuuming sander apparatus was constructed according to the manner as described in Example B except that DUST VACUUMING TYPE DOUBLE ACTION SANDER SI3111 (made by Shinano Inc.) was employed instead of the dust vacuuming sander of Example A. The results are shown in Table 3. Table 3
  • the dust vacuuming sander apparatus of the present invention showed far excellent cutting ability and dust vacuuming ability even when the perforated structure in the abrasive material was not the same as the perforated structure in the backup pad.

Abstract

L''invention concerne une sableuse-aspirateur qui comporte : un boîtier constituant la forme externe de la sableuse-aspirateur et doté d'une enveloppe; un trajet d'air sous pression incluant un tube d'admission d'air pour l'alimentation en air sous pression ; un moteur à air logé dans le boîtier ; un tube d'échappement d'air ; un tube venturi muni d'une admission d'air faisant face à la sortie du tube d'échappement d'air mais séparée par un espace ; et un trajet d'aspiration de poussière reliant l'enveloppe du boîtier au tube venturi. Le trajet d'air sous pression est également muni d'un moyen de dérivation qui sépare une partie de l'air sous pression provenant du tube d'admission d'air, lui fait éviter le moteur à air et le recombine en aval du moteur à air (6), permettant ainsi à l'air recombiné de sortir par le tube d'échappement d'air.
