Abstract:
An improved structure of a sand blast machine, comprising a body that can be held in one hand, a guide tube disposed inside said body in a longitudinal direction, and a stop valve disposed near a central portion of said body in a radial direction, said stop valve having an urging top end that controls adjustment and closure of the passage of a catgut tube of said guide tube; whereinsaid body is comprised of upper and lower shells locked together to form a cylindrical body defining a through hole internally, said lower shell being provided with a round hole near a central portion thereof in a radial direction, said round hole communicating with said through hole and being provided with respective holes on two sides thereof that pass through said upper and lower shells, a trigger being pivotally connected to one side of said lower shell by a pin;said guide tube is located in said through hole of said body, said catgut tube being disposed in a central portion of said guide tube and insertably connected to couplings on front and rear ends thereof, said front coupling being fitted with a packing ring that is adapted for screwable connection with a nozzle, said rear coupling being adapted to receive a hose for connection onto a sand blast machine; andsaid two guide posts of said stop valve have a shaft fitted with a sleeve straddling over upper portions thereof, said guide posts being respectively fitted with pressure springs and placed inside said holes on the two sides of said round hole of said body, said urging top end being firstly screwably fixed to a center of a securing plate that is screwably mounted at the bottom of said guide posts such that said urging top end extends into said round hole of said body to press against said catgut tube to close the passage, whereby said trigger is pulled in use to urge against said shaft in said sleeve and said guide posts in sequence, so that said pressure spring retracts to cause said securing plate on the bottom of said guide posts and said urging top end to displace outwardly therewith, further causing said urging top end to disengage from said catgut tube to adjust the sand blast passage, and whereby when said trigger is released, said pressure spring will cause said urging top end of said stop valve to reset and urge against said catgut tube to close the sand blast passage.
