Title: A debris collection device for collecting debris with limited dispersion of airborne particles
Inventor: STRAUSER DANIEL P
IPC: E01H1/05
Filed: 2003-02-13
Granted: 2011-07-05
Abstract: The invention provides debris collection devices that include a debris contacting mechanism, a debris transport mechanism that is configured to receive debris moved by the debris contacting mechanism at an inlet and move such debris towards a debris storage compartment, and a filter and vacuum assembly. The filter and vacuum assembly includes an inlet disposed downstream of the inlet of the transport mechanism and upstream of the debris storage compartment, relative to the path of transported debris. In operation, the filter and vacuum assembly generate a primary air flow that draws the airborne particles into the inlet of the transport mechanism, along a path proximate to the transport mechanism, into the inlet of the filter and vacuum assembly and through a filter located within the filter and vacuum assembly without generating a substantial airflow through the storage compartment. Related debris collection and processing systems and methods also are provided.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of small-charge blasting as well as to a rock drilling unit and a front guide to be used therein. By means of a rock drill machine (6) provided in the rock drilling unit (4), a hole (15) is first drilled into a material to be excavated and, subsequently, a drilling tool (7) is pulled out of the hole. Next, one or more propellants (18) comprising a propellant charge are fed to the bottom of the hole through a propellant feed channel (13) provided in connection with a feed beam (5). Then, the hole is sealed and the propellant is ignited, whereupon a high gas pressure is generated, which causes fractioning in the material to be excavated. During the feeding and ignition of the propellant, the rock drill machine is kept in a parallel direction with respect to the hole.
