Abstract: A cover (1) is mounted onto a container (2) with a dust filter (4) in an open volume and a hydrophobic filter (3) in a closed volume. An inlet (20) at the bottom of the container connects the closed volume to a receiver and an outlet (10) on top of the cover connects to the vacuum reservoir. The hydrophobic filter has a stop-valve which acts when the elements being drawn through include liquid. The cover (1) is mounted and fixed by a fixing (220) onto a container (2) The elements being pumped out pass through the inlet and are totally filtered by the anti-dust filter and the hydrophobic filter. The filter system is assembled by encasing the different elements using different fixings. The hydrophobic filter is made of porous plastic impregnated with a substance which becomes gelatinous and dilates in contact with a wet material to block the pores of the plastic, and blocking the passage of a substance through the plastic. The porous plastic is fritted polyethylene impregnated with cellulose. The dust filter is held by a divider (42) pressing on a peripheral shoulder (23) around the container. The hydrophobic filter surrounds a chimney communicating with the dust filter after an opening in the divider. The hydrophobic filter is fixed to the dust filter by clamping on the chimney. The hydrophobic filter can be blocked in the container once the filter system is completely assembled. The system for holding the hydrophobic filter comprises at least three grooves separated from one another in an even manner, placed at the bottom of the container. Each groove is between the internal edge of the container and the outside edge of the inlet and has a height to fit the height of the hydrophobic filter, allowing it to be held between the grooves and the divider of the dust filter when the system is assembled. The outlet from the filter system is placed on the top of the cover, with an orifice in the middle of the cover extended by a connector protruding from the cover. The filter system is cylindrical. The cover is fixed to the container by a threaded system which allows the cover to be screwed onto the container.

Title: Securing holding jaws on a tool ring for a nail machine
Inventor: JENSEN JOERN BOIE
IPC: B21G3/12
Filed: 2004-05-19
Abstract: The present invention relates to aspects of securing holding jaws in nail machines, including a method, a machine, a tool ring and a holding jaw for such purposes. The novel aspects of the invention include that holding jaws are secured to a tool ring in a manner where a number of immovably secured passive fittings are used as well as a number of active fittings. It is hereby ensured that holding jaws may be e.g. replaced without loosening many other holding jaws, and that the holding jaws may be placed very precisely and in a manner, which is repeatable. It is also ensured that the holding jaws may be effectively and easily secured. The passive fittings will each provide at least one fix point from where one or more holding jaws may be lined up, in a manner where the interdependency between the secured holding jaws is reduced, whereby a larger degree of precision is obtained, also when a high number of holding jaws are involved, and also when the distance between the jaws are identical along the entire circumference of the tool ring.
