An opening is provided on the opposite, or top end of the canister from the gasket opening to facilitate insertion of the drill bit through the gasket opening, into the canister and through the top end opening to a panel or surface to be drilled, as the drill chuck rotatably operates in the gasket opening. The top end opening of the canister is pressed against the panel or surface and the canister is attached to a vacuum device by means of a vacuum hose to facilitate removal of drilling debris, particles and dust from the interior of the canister simultaneously with operation of the drilling tool.
Description
- This application claims the benefit of and incorporates by reference prior filed copending U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 60/484,249, filed Jul. 3, 2003.
- This invention relates to drilling tools and more particularly, to a vacuum attachment for a drilling tool, which vacuum attachment is designed to trap drilling debris, particles and drilling dust and remove this material by means of a vacuum apparatus. In a preferred embodiment the vacuum attachment is characterized by an enclosure or canister which is either transparent or has a window therein for viewing the interior, with a gasket provided on the bottom end. The gasket has a gasket opening for receiving the drill bit and accommodating and sealing the drill chuck of a drilling tool. The top of the canister is typically provided with a lip that defines a lip opening and a perimeter seal ring is fitted to the lip to removably seat and seal the canister against a wall, ceiling, floor or other panel or surface to be drilled. Accordingly, the drill bit in the drilling tool is inserted through the gasket opening in the gasket and the interior of the canister and through the lip opening and the perimeter seal ring to the panel or surface, as the drill chuck enters and rotates in the gasket opening. When the perimeter seal ring is pressed against the panel or surface to be drilled, particles or debris, including drilling dust, removed responsive to the drill bit entry into the panel or surface, fall into the interior of the canister. Furthermore, a vacuum hose, attached to the canister and to a vacuum apparatus, removes the particles and drilling dust to facilitate a substantially particle and dust-free environment while operating the drilling tool. In another preferred embodiment of the invention a vacuum hose mount or nipple is provided in the canister for attachment to the vacuum hose and the transparent canister wall or window located in the canister wall facilitates observation of the canister contents to coordinate the pace of the drilling operation and the volume of particles and drilling dust removed from the panel or surface, with the rate of removal of these particles and dust by the vacuum apparatus.

-

FIG. 2 is an exploded view of the vacuum attachment illustrated inFIG. 1 , more particularly illustrating the gasket and gasket opening, as well as the perimeter seal ring for sealing the drill chuck and the top of the canister against the panel or surface to be drilled, respectively; -
FIG. 3 is a partially exploded view of the vacuum attachment illustrated inFIGS. 1 and 2 , more particularly illustrating a typical perimeter seal which is fitted to the canister lip of the canister; -
FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the vacuum attachment illustrated inFIG. 3 , more particularly illustrating the perimeter seal ring attached to the canister lip; and -
FIG. 5 is a partially exploded view of the vacuum attachment illustrated inFIGS. 3 and 4 , more particularly illustrating a typical gasket and gasket keeper for removably closing the open bottom end of the canister and orienting the gasket opening for receiving the drill bit and drill chuck illustrated inFIGS. 1 and 2 . - Referring initially to
FIGS. 1, 2 , 3 and 5 of the drawings the vacuum attachment of this invention is generally illustrated byreference numeral 1. In a preferred embodiment thevacuum attachment 1 is characterized by a container orcanister 2 of selected size and shape, which is typically transparent or fitted with a window for viewing the contents, typically drilling particles and dust 22 (FIG. 1 ). Thecanister 2 typically further includes acanister lip 2 a andlip opening 2 b on the top end thereof (FIG. 3 ) and a resilientperimeter seal ring 8, designed to permanently or removably fit on thecanister lip 2 a for removably sealing thecanister 2 against a surface orpanel 23, illustrated in phantom inFIG. 1 . The opposite bottom and typically larger, open end of the canister 2 (FIG. 5 ), is fitted with a typicallyresilient gasket 3, having agasket flange 3 b, agasket bottom 3 c and a gasket opening 4 in thegasket bottom 3 c, for snugly receiving thedrill chuck 16, carrying abit 17 in theelectric drill 15, also illustrated in phantom inFIGS. 1 and 2 . Accordingly, referring again toFIG. 1 of the drawings, when thevacuum attachment 1 is in functional, drilling configuration thedrill bit 17 and thedrill chuck 16 are inserted into thegasket opening 4 such that the drill chuck 16 rotatably and snugly engages thegasket 3 around the perimeter of thegasket opening 4. Furthermore, the extending drilling end of thedrill bit 17 extends through the lip opening 2 b of thecanister lip 2 a and theperimeter seal ring 8 and engages thepanel 23 for drilling purposes. - As further illustrated in
FIGS. 1, 2 and 5 of the drawings a vacuum hose mount ornipple 5, having a nipple bore 6 (FIG. 5 ) that communicates with the interior of thecanister 2, is provided in the wall of thecanister 2 for receiving themount nipple end 11 of aflexible vacuum hose 10. The opposite, orvacuum apparatus end 12 of thevacuum hose 10 is attached to a vacuum device orapparatus 13 of conventional design, as illustrated inFIG. 1 . Accordingly, referring again toFIG. 1 , when thevacuum attachment 1 is in the operational mode illustrated therein, thetrigger 19 of theelectric drill 15 is depressed and power is supplied to the motor (not illustrated), typically by operation of thebattery pack 18, while thehandle 20 is grasped to maintain the extending cutting end of thedrill bit 17 against thepanel 23, and as theperimeter seal ring 8 is pressed against thepanel 23. Rotation of thedrill bit 17 responsive to operation of theelectric drill 15 thus drills a hole in thepanel 23 and the drilling particles anddust 22 removed by thedrill bit 17 fall through theperimeter seal ring 8 and the lip opening 2 b (FIG. 3 ) and into thecanister 2 and are removed through thevacuum hose mount 5 andvacuum hose 10 by operation of thevacuum apparatus 13. Since thecanister 2 is either transparent or provided with a transparent window, the contents of thecanister 2 are easily observed and the operator of theelectric drill 15 is able to maintain a drilling speed consistent with the capacity of thevacuum apparatus 13 to remove the drilling particles anddust 22 that fall into thecanister 2. - Referring again to
FIGS. 1 and 3 -5 of the drawings in a preferred embodiment of the invention the removable resilientperimeter seal ring 8 fits either removably or fixedly on thecanister lip 2 a, as illustrated inFIGS. 3 and 4 , to facilitate a tight seal between thecanister 2 and thepanel 23 during the drilling operation illustrated inFIG. 1 . Accordingly, in a most preferred embodiment of the invention theperimeter seal ring 8 is characterized by a resilient material such as rubber or plastic, that is able to tightly fit against thepanel 23 and effect an essentially particle and dust-free drilling of thedrill bit 17 through thepanel 23 to contain essentially all of the drilling particles anddust 22 from thepanel 23 in thecanister 2. As heretofore described and as illustrated inFIG. 5 of the drawings, in another preferred embodiment of the invention the typically rubber orplastic gasket 3 is preferably characterized by a cup-shaped design having agasket opening 4 in thegasket bottom 3 c thereof and adapted to receive a typically rubber orplastic gasket keeper 3 a which fits snugly over thegasket flange 3 b of thegasket 3 to removably seat thegasket 3 on the open end of thecanister 2. Alternatively, thegasket flange 3 b may be constructed slightly undersized with respect to the bottom end of thecanister 2 to facilitate a friction-fit of thegasket 3 on the canister without the use of thegasket keeper 3 a. Furthermore, as further illustrated inFIG. 5 of the drawings thevacuum hose nipple 5 is typically molded integrally with, or may be secured in an opening (not illustrated) in the wall of thecanister 2 and is also sufficiently sized, along with thevacuum hose 10, to facilitate a friction fit between themount nipple end 11 of thevacuum hose 10 on thevacuum hose nipple 5. - It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the
vacuum attachment 1 of this invention is easily utilized as illustrated inFIG. 1 and as heretofore described, to facilitate the removal of bits and pieces, including drilling dust, identified as drilling particles anddust 22, from thepanel 23 that are removed by thedrill bit 17, mounted in thedrill chuck 16 of theelectric drill 15. The rate of removal of these drilling particles anddust 22 from thepanel 23 by thevacuum apparatus 13 is a function of the design of thedrill bit 17, the material of construction and composition of thepanel 23, the size of thecanister 2 and the pressure exerted on theelectric drill 15 at thehandle 20 during the drilling operation. On any selected project, the rate of removal of these drilling particles anddust 22 can therefore be controlled by adjusting the pressure exerted on thehandle 20 of theelectric drill 15. Accordingly, the operator can control the rate of ejection of the drilling particles anddust 22 from thepanel 23 and thedrill bit 17 into thecanister 2, so as not to overload thevacuum apparatus 13 as the drilling particles anddust 22 are removed by vacuum through thevacuum hose nipple 5 and thevacuum hose 10. Generally, under normal circumstances, the drilling operation can proceed in as rapid fashion as desired, since thevacuum apparatus 13 and thevacuum hose 10 will usually be sufficiently sized to remove the drilling particles anddust 22 from thecanister 2 as fast as they are deposited therein by the rotatingdrill bit 17. - It will be further appreciated by those skilled in the art that the
panel 23 can be any panel or surface, typically located overhead in a ceiling or in a wall or floor, in non-exclusive particular, and during the drilling operation the resilientperimeter seal ring 8 is maintained in close contact with thepanel 23 to minimize the escape from thecanister 2 of drilling particles anddust 22 ejected from thedrill bit 17. Resiliency in theperimeter seal ring 8 is preferred, to allow for variations in the ideal perpendicular orientation of thedrill bit 17 with respect to thepanel 23 and thus, to maintain a uniformly tight seal against thepanel 23. Furthermore, the rotating drill chuck 16 fits in the gasket open 4 of thegasket 3 in such a snug manner that thegasket 3 seals the rotatingdrill chuck 16 to facilitate entrapment of the vast majority of drilling particles anddust 22 inside thecanister 2. Moreover, the negative air pressure applied to the interior of thecanister 2 by thevacuum apparatus 13 through thevacuum hose 10 and thevacuum hose nipple 5, further serves to remove the drilling particles anddust 22 from thecanister 2 through thevacuum hose 10 and into thevacuum apparatus 13, rather than allowing these particles to escape from thecanister 2, either from the gasket opening 4 interface with thedrill chuck 16 or theperimeter seal ring 8 interface with thepanel 23. - It will be further appreciated by those skilled in the art that as heretofore described, the
gasket 3 for sealing on the bottom end of thecanister 2 may be constructed in any desired manner, but is preferably constructed with thegasket flange 3 b extending from thegasket bottom 3 c, to facilitate removable mounting of thegasket 3 on the bottom or large end of thecanister 2, either using the gasket ring orkeeper 3 a, as illustrated inFIG. 5 , or in a friction-fit. In this manner thegasket 3 can be replaced as thegasket opening 4 becomes enlarged or deformed due to friction from rotation of thedrill chuck 16 over time, in order to maintain a close sealing fit between thedrill chuck 16 and thegasket 3 at thegasket opening 4. It is also understood that thegasket 3 may be constructed of materials other than rubber, including a plastic of suitable composition and resiliency, or the like, known to those skilled in the art, as heretofore described. - It will also be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the
vacuum attachment 1 can be utilized with substantially any drilling tool, including anelectric drill 15 as illustrated, or other drilling tool or implement, including smaller “Dremel” (trademark) tools and the like, in non-exclusive particular. A primary consideration in the design and utilization of thevacuum attachment 1 with anelectric drill 15 or the equivalent, is the size of thecanister 2 and the length of thedrill bit 17, which must be sufficiently long to extend through the interior of thecanister 2 and the lip opening 2 b of thecanister lip 2 a, in order to contact and drill into thepanel 23, as illustrated inFIGS. 1 and 2 of the drawings. Moreover, while thecanister 2 illustrated inFIGS. 1-5 of the drawings is illustrated as transparent, it will be further appreciated that one or more windows (not illustrated) may be provided in an otherwise translucent oropaque canister 2, to facilitate observing the accumulation of drilling particles anddust 22 inside thecanister 2 resulting from penetration of thedrill bit 17 and the removal of this debris through thevacuum hose 10 and into thevacuum apparatus 13. It is further understood that avacuum apparatus 13 of any suitable design may be utilized with thevacuum attachment 1, the only requirement being that thevacuum apparatus 13 create a sufficient suction to form a vacuum in thecanister 2 that will adequately remove the drilling particles anddust 22 from thecanister 2 as they accumulate from thepanel 23 during operation of theelectric drill 15. - It is also understood that the
canister 2 may be of any selected size and shape, although a cylindrical design having an inwardly-tapering upper surface to shape thecanister lip 2 a, as indicated inFIGS. 1-5 of the drawings, is preferred. This design facilitates a gasket sufficiently large to accommodate adrill chuck 16 in thegasket opening 4 and a canister lip opening 2 b which is sufficiently large to accommodate adrill bit 17, but sufficiently small to minimize the peripheral surface area around the lip opening 2 b and thus, the perimeter for escape of the drilling particles anddust 22. Another option for fitting themount nipple end 11 of thevacuum hose 10 on thevacuum hose mount 5 is a bayonet coupling or other coupling known to those skilled in the art, for quickly and easily attaching and detaching thevacuum hose 10 to and from thevacuum hose mount 5. - While the preferred embodiments of the invention have been described above, it will be recognized and understood that various modifications may be made in the invention and the appended claims are intended to cover all such modifications which may fall within the spirit and scope of the invention.
