Benefits of technology

The patent describes a device that has a housing with two air channels and a vacuum port. When there is an obstruction in one of the air channels, air flow is restricted and creates a low pressure area above the vacuum port. This low pressure area causes a vacuum to occur using the Venturi effect. The technical effect of this device is the creation of a vacuum to improve a variety of functions and applications.

Problems solved by technology

An obstruction in the air channel reduces restricts air flow and creating a low pressure area above the vacuum port.

Embodiment Construction

[0016]A small debris extractor for removing debris from wet paint is described herein and illustrated in the accompanying figures. The small debris extractor is an air tool that provides a focused vacuum allowing insects, dust, and other small debris to be removed from wet paint without disrupting the paint finish. The various embodiments of the small debris extractor include an integral pressurized air source or connect to an external pressurized air source. The pressurized air passes through the small debris extractor to create a vacuum in a hose extending from the housing. The vacuum has sufficient suction to extract the small debris from the paint without coming in physical contact with the small debris or the wet paint.

[0017]FIG. 1 is a perspective view of one embodiment of the small debris extractor 100. The small debris extractor includes a housing 102, a valve 104 to control the air flow, a vacuum hose 106, and a replaceable vacuum tip 108. The vacuum tip (i.e., nozzle) atta...

Abstract

A small debris extractor for removing debris from wet paint. The small debris extractor provides a focused vacuum allowing insects, dust, and other small debris to be removed from wet paint without disrupting the paint finish. The various embodiments of the small debris extractor include an integral pressurized air source or connect to an external pressurized air source. The pressurized air passes through the small debris extractor to create a vacuum in a hose extending from the body. The vacuum has sufficient suction to extract the small debris from the paint and insufficient volume to disrupt the paint finish.

Description

BACKGROUND[0001]Small, airborne debris, such as dirt or dust particles and insects, contacting wet paint cause imperfections in the paint finish. This is a significant problem when painting automobiles and other objects. While the paint is wet, the debris or insect can be physically removed from the paint using a cloth or an object with a relatively fine point (e.g., a toothpick); however, such physical contact disrupts the surface of the paint and prevents the paint from having a smooth, uniform finish. Generally, imperfections in surface must be sanded and repainted after the paint dries. Once the paint is dry, removing an imperfection is accomplished by actions such as sanding or scraping, which damages the paint finish. The inevitable result of removing imperfections from wet or dry paint is that some or all of the object must be repainted. Repainting an object wastes valuable resources and time. It was with these problems in mind that the present invention was conceived.BRIEF S...
