Description
A DUST COLLECTOR
This invention relates to a dust collector and, more especially, this invention relates to a dust collector for collecting dust during drilling of a hole in a vertical surface.
When holes are drilled in vertical surfaces such as walls in order to mount objects such for example as mirrors, curtain rails and bathroom fittings, dust is generated as the holes are drilled. This dust needs to be collected and it is often a nuisance to have to get out a dustpan and brush or a vacuum cleaner in order to collect the dust. If the drilling has been effected above furniture such for example as cupboards or settees, the furniture needs to be moved before the dust can be collected and this represents a further source of inconvenience. Still further, the dust may damage some wall surfaces such for example as those covered with certain types of wallpaper, and the dust may also damage carpets.
In addition to the problem of dust caused during the drilling of holes in vertical surfaces, there is another problem which occurs during the actual drilling. More specifically, at the commencement of the drilling, it is often difficult to keep the drill bit steady so that the hole is drilled exactly where marked. The problem of slipping drill bits is especially accute when drilling into highly polished vertical surfaces such for example as tiled surfaces in bathrooms or kitchens.
It is an aim of the present invention to reduce both of the above mentioned problems.
Accordingly, in one non-limiting embodiment of the present invention there is provided a dust collector for collecting dust during drilling of a hole in a vertical surface, which dust collector comprises a rear wall portion which is flat for abutting against the vertical surface during the drilling of the hole, an adhesive portion which is provided on the rear wall portion and which is such as to enable the dust collector to be adhered to the vertical surface during the drilling of the hole and to be removed from the vertical surface after the drilling of the hole without causing damage to the vertical surface, and position-aligning means for aligning the dust collector with respect to the hole to be drilled, the position-aligning means being provided on the rear wall portion at such a location that the drilling is effected through the position-aligning means whereby the position-aligning means is also able to act to guide and retain a drill bit in position during the commencement of the drilling.
The dust collector of the present invention may thus be used as a simple way of collecting dust occurring during drilling and thus as a way of avoiding the need to collect fallen dust after drilling and/or to prevent the damage often caused by the dust. Still further, the dust collector of the present invention is able to provide an anti-skate means for locating a drill bit in position during the commencement of the drilling. Still further, the use of the adhesive portion on the rear wall portion enables the dust collector of the present invention easily to be located in position, the adhesive portion being such that it does not locate the dust collector so strongly in position that damage is caused to the vertical surface when the dust collector is removed from the vertical surface after the drilling.
Preferably, the dust collector is one which is foldable from a flat inoperative condition to an open operative condition.
The dust collector advantageously includes fold lines which enable the dust collector to be substantially rigid in the open operative condition. The fold lines may define the rear wall portion, and a front wall portion.
The front wall portion may be curved. Other shapes may be employed for the front wall portion so that the entire dust collector may be of any suitable and appropriate size and shape.
The front wall portion may be lower than the rear wall portion.
The fold lines may also define a pair of opposed side wall portions.
Preferably, the side wall portions extend above the position-aligning means in order to facilitate collecting a maximum amount of dust during the drilling.
The dust collector may include indicator means for indicating true perpendicularity of drilling with respect to the vertical surface.
Usually, the indicator means will be provided in the front wall portion.
Preferably, the dust collector is one in which the front wall portion is lower than the rear wall portion, and in which the indicator means is a notch in a top part of the front wall portion. The notch may be a V-shaped notch but other shapes may be employed as may be suitable and appropriate.
Preferably, the dust collector is one in which the adhesive portion extends over a major part of the rear wall portion in order to ensure that the major part of the rear wall portion is adherable to the vertical surface, whereby dust falling between the vertical surface and the rear wall portion is minimised.
Preferably, the adhesive portion is a low-tack adhesive portion.
Preferably, the position-aligning means comprise a cross marked on the rear wall portion and a hole which is centrally positioned in the cross and which extends through the rear wall portion. Other types of positionaligning means may be employed so that, for example, the position-aligning means could comprise just the aforementioned cross or just the afore-mentioned hole.
An example of another type of position-aligning means is a depression provided in the rear wall portion.
The dust collector may inexpensively be made of paper, card, or a plastics material. Where a plastics material is employed, then the plastics material may be polypropylene, polyethylene, polystyrene or ABS.
Preferably, the dust collector is constructed to be disposable with the collected dust inside.
The dust collector may be sold in packets. The dust collector may be sold in the form of a stack of the dust collectors which are peeled one at a time off the stack during drilling. Even where the dust collector is constructed to be disposable as opposed to being reusable, the adhesive portion of the disposable dust collector may allow the dust collector to be used for the drilling of several holes. Naturally, if desired, a separate dust collector may be used for each hole to be drilled.
An embodiment of the invention will now be described solely by way of example and with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:
Figure 1 illustrates a dust collector being positioned on a vertical surface;
Figure 2 illustrates drilling with the dust collector in position;
Figure 3 illustrates removal of the dust collector after drilling;
Figure 4 is a front view of the dust collector shown in Figure 1 and in a closed inoperative position;
Figure 5 is a front view of the dust collector but in an open operative position;
Figure 6 is a perspective view of the dust collector from the front and one side, the dust collector being in an open operative position;
Figure 7 is a view from the rear and the other side of the dust collector as shown in Figure 6; and
Figure 8 is a plan view of a card blank used in forming the dust collector shown in Figure 1.
Referring to the drawings, there is shown a dust collector 2 for collecting dust during drilling of a hole in a vertical surface 4. The dust collector 2 comprises a rear wall portion 6 which is flat as shown for abutting against the vertical surface 4 during the drilling of the hole. The dust collector 2 also comprises an adhesive portion 8 (see Figure 7) which is provided on the rear wall portion 6 and which is such as to enable the dust collector 2 to be adhered to the vertical surface 4 during the drilling of the hole, and to be removed from the vertical surface 4 after the drilling of the hole without causing damage to the vertical surface 4, even if the vertical surface 4 should be a wallpaper surface.
The dust collector 2 still further comprises position-aligning means 10 for aligning the dust collector 2 with respect to the hole to be drilled. The position-aligning means 10 is provided on the rear wall portion 6 as shown. Also as shown, the position-aligning means 10 is at such a location that the drilling is effected through the position-aligning means 10, whereby the position-aligning means 10 is also able to act to guide and retain a drill bit 12 in position during the commencement of the drilling.
The dust collector 2 is foldable from a flat inoperative condition to an open substantially rigid operative condition. This is effected by fold lines 14 which are most clearly seen in Figures 4 to 8.
The fold lines 14 define the rear wall portion 6, a curved front wall portion 16, and opposed side wall portions 18. The front wall portion 16 is lower than the rear wall portion 6. The side wall portions 18 extend above the position-aligning means 10 in order to facilitate collecting a maximum amount of dust during the drilling.
The dust collector 2 further comprises indicator means 20 for indicating true perpendicularity of drilling with respect to the vertical surface 4. The indicator means 20 is in the form of a V-shaped notch provided in a top part of the front wall portion 16.
As shown in Figure 7, the adhesive portion 8 extends over a major part of the rear wall portion 6 in order to ensure that the major part of the rear wall portion 6 is adherable to the vertical surface 4, whereby dust falling between the vertical surface 4 and the rear wall portion 6 is minimised. The adhesive portion is a low-tack adhesive portion. If the flat folded dust collectors 2 are to be sold in a padk, then the dust collectors 2 may be stacked on top of one another with the adhesive portions 8 enabling individual dust collectors 2 to be peeled off a stack. If the dust collectors 2 are sold separately then the adhesive portion 8 may be protected by a peel-off backing sheet. The peel-off backing sheet may be provided with a silicone covering or other quick release chemical agent.
The position-aligning means 10 is shown in the drawings to comprise a cross 22 marked on the rear wall portion 6, and a hole 24 which is centrally positioned in the cross 22 and which extends through the rear wall portion 6.
The dust collector 2 is made of thin card. The dust collector 2 is arranged to be disposable as can easily be seen from Figure 3, with the collected dust remaining inside the dust collector 2.
Figure 8 shows a blank card 26 provided with all necessary fold lines 14 for enabling the dust collector 2 to be folded to the shape shown in Figures 1 to 7 and to be sold flat whilst being squeezable as shown in Figure 1 to the substantially rigid open operative condition. As can be seen from Figure 8, the card can be printed with instructions 28 for use.
It is to be appreciated that the embodiment of the invention described above with reference to the accompanying drawings has been given by way of example only and that modifications may be effected. Thus, for example, the indicator means 20 could comprise just the cross 22, or just the hole 24, or some other indicator means such for example as a depression of the size of the hole 24. The dust collector 2 may be made from materials other than thin card so that, for example, the dust collector 2 may be made from paper or a plastics material. Where the dust collector 2 is to be made in a shape other than shown, then the shape of the blank card 26 will be varied as appropriate. The blank card 26 is preferably stamped and folded to shape in a single operation but two or more operations may be employed if desired.
