Removable dust receptacle for dust collector

Abstract

A dust collector includes a post extended from a base, a housing disposed on the post, a dust collecting receptacle, a cover coupled to the housing and disposed above the dust collecting receptacle for selectively closing the dust collecting receptacle or for selectively opening the dust collecting receptacle, and an actuating device for selectively actuating the cover to close the dust collecting receptacle, and for selectively moving the cover away from the dust collecting receptacle to open the dust collecting receptacle and to allow the dust collecting receptacle to be moved either away from or toward the base and to allow the dust to be easily dumped or removed from the dust collecting receptacle.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates to a vacuum collector or dust collector, and more particularly to a vacuum collector or dust collector having a dust collection barrel or dust collecting receptacle detachably secured to the dust collector for allowing the dust collecting receptacle to be easily removed or disengaged or moved away from the dust collector and for allowing the dust received or collected within the dust collecting receptacle to be easily and quickly cleaned or dumped from the dust collecting receptacle.[0003]2. Description of the Prior Art[0004]Typical vacuum or dust collectors comprise an array of drum filters and a frame disposed in a permanent operative position proximate the array, and a number of longitudinal members operatively disposed on the frame for receiving and filtering and collecting the dirt, and suction nozzles extended from tubes for drawing and collecting the dirt.[0005]For example, U.S. Pat....

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

"The present invention is a vacuum or dust collector with a detachable dust collecting receptacle that can be easily removed or disengaged from the main collector for cleaning or dumping. The collector includes a manually operated device for securing the receptacle, and a cover for selectively closing or opening the receptacle. The actuating device can be a bar or a handle that moves the cover to close or open the receptacle. The housing includes a duct, a flexible member, and a casing with an orifice for connecting to a duct. The base includes a rail and the receptacle includes an anchor for sliding and moving relative to the base. The housing also includes a compartment for a fan device and a canister for receiving light weight dust. The technical effects of the invention include easy cleaning and maintenance of the vacuum or dust collector, and improved user experience."

Problems solved by technology

However, after the dirt or dust drawing or collecting operations, or when it is required to clean or dump the dust collection barrel, it will be difficult to remove or disengage or move the dust collection barrel away from the dust collector.

In addition, no pressing or locking or positioning devices have been provided for pressing or locking or anchoring the cover to the dust collection barrel such that the cover may have a good chance to be disengaged from the dust collection barrel while conducting the vacuuming operations.
