20090181604 | DUST SHROUD FOR ROTARY TOOLS - A dust shroud for rotary tools includes a front half and a back half which are attachable together along an axis thereof to form a dust shroud. The dust shroud is mountable to a rotary power tool after mounting a mandrel in the power tool, and includes one or more openings to allow a person to lock the shaft of the tool while the dust shroud is mounted thereto to allow a person to change a worn out abrasive pad. The dust shroud is particularly suited for use with die grinders and similar rotary tools. | 07-16-2009 |
20090181605 | DUST SHROUD WITH ADJUSTABLE MOUNTING MECHANISM - A universal dust shroud includes mounting brackets held above the shroud body by springs. The brackets move radially and vertically relative to the body to accommodate different angle grinders, and allow vertical movement of the shroud body relative to the grinding disk while using the grinder to allow the user greater control over the angle grinder. | 07-16-2009 |
20090181606 | VACUUM SHROUD FOR USE WITH DRILLING TOOLS - A flexible vacuum shroud provides an improved seal to the work surface and allows for use on curved surfaces. The shroud incorporates support structures around the cutting tool hole which improve performance with different cutting tools and which prevent collapse of the shroud. | 07-16-2009 |
20090183377 | DUST SHROUD FOR CIRCULAR SAWS - A circular saw dust shroud extends around the open portion of the blade guard to enclose the saw blade. The dust shroud provides improved dust collection while still allowing unimpeded use of the saw. | 07-23-2009 |
20090183800 | DUST SHROUD FOR GAS POWERED CIRCULAR SAWS - A dust shroud for gas powered circular saws allows for mounting to a circular saw and for use therewith out hindering the use of the saw. The shroud does not interfere with the ability to operate the saw or set the saw on the ground, and effectively collects dust and debris without reducing the depth of cut. | 07-23-2009 |
20090186559 | DUST SHROUD WITH ACCESS HATCH RETENTION MECHANISM - A vacuum shroud for an angle grinder includes a removable hatch for grinding in a corner and provides a storage location on the shroud for the hatch in order to encourage use of the hatch when not grinding in a corner. | 07-23-2009 |
20090241283 | TOOL OPERATED SWITCH FOR VACUUMS - A vacuum control system allows the vacuum to be turned on and off automatically based on the operation of an associated power tool. The vacuum is able to run at full power without sacrificing power to the power tool itself. Additionally, a pneumatic power tool may be used to control the operation of the vacuum. | 10-01-2009 |
20090300876 | VACUUM ASSISTED SCRAPER - A vacuum assisted scraper draws air from both in front of and behind the scraper blade to collect dust and debris as the scraper is used. The scraper keeps the work area clean and prevents dust buildup from hindering the use of the scraper. | 12-10-2009 |
20100005619 | VACUUM ASSISTED SCRAPER - A vacuum assisted scraper draws air from both in front of and behind the scraper blade to collect dust and debris as the scraper is used. The scraper keeps the work area clean and prevents dust buildup from hindering the use of the scraper. | 01-14-2010 |
20100285729 | ANGLE GRINDER DUST SHROUD WITH UNITARY ADJUSTABLE MOUNTING COLLAR - A universal dust shroud includes a unitary mounting bracket on top of the shroud body. The bracket includes a plurality of collar sections attached to the body via a āZā shaped joint which allows the collar sections to move radially inwardly and outwardly relative to each other to accommodate different angle grinders. The bracket may include slots formed at the base of the bracket. The slots allow air to flow in through the slots, out past the grinding disk, and to the vacuum port. As such, the slots can aid in cooling the grinder output and bearings, and helps keep dust and debris away from the bearings in order to extend the life of the grinder. | 11-11-2010 |
