Abstract
A ceiling driller including a dust collector, a seat rod, a drill bit, an adjustment rod, two tool mounting seats, two machining tools, a spring, and a nut. The dust collector is provided with a plurality of dust collecting slots for collecting the machining dust which is forced into the dust collecting slots by the air current brought about by the rotational motion of the seat rod and the machining tools of the ceiling driller.
Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates generally to a ceiling driller, and more particularly to a dust collector of the ceiling driller.
2. Description of Related Art
As shown in
FIG. 1
, a prior art ceiling driller is provided with a transparent dust collector for collecting the machining dust. It is conceivable that the machining dust will eventually accumulated in the dust collector, and that the accumulated dust will obstruct the view of the operator of the ceiling driller, and further that the accumulated dust will interfere with the operation of the ceiling driller.
BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The primary objective of the present invention is to provide a ceiling driller with a machining dust collector which is free from the shortcomings of the machining dust collector of the prior art described above.
In keeping with the principle of the present invention, the foregoing objective of the present invention is accomplished by the machining dust collector which is provided with a plurality of dust collecting slots for collecting the machining dust which is forced into the dust collecting slots by the air current generated by the ceiling driller in operation.
The features and the advantages of the present invention will be more readily understood upon a thoughtful deliberation of the following detailed description of a preferred embodiment of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE SEVERAL VIEWS OF THE DRAWINGS
FIG. 1
shows a schematic view of a prior art ceiling driller.
FIG. 2
shows a schematic view of a ceiling driller of the preferred embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 3
shows an exploded view of the ceiling driller of the preferred embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 4
shows a sectional view of the ceiling driller of the preferred embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 5
shows a schematic view of the present invention at work.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
As shown in
FIGS. 2-5
, a ceiling driller of the preferred embodiment of the present invention comprises a dust collector
10
, a seat rod
20
, a drill bit
30
, an adjustment rod
40
, two tool mounting seats
50
, two machining tools
60
, a spring
70
, and a nut
80
.
The dust collector
10
has an open end
1
1
facing the ceiling, and a closed end
12
opposite to the open end
11
. The dust collector
10
is provided with a receiving space
13
and a brim
14
in which a ring
15
is disposed. The closed end
12
is provided in the inner side with a plurality of machining dust collecting slots
19
. The closed end
12
is further provided in the center with a bearing
18
. The closed end
12
is provided with a tubular portion
16
having a stepped hole
17
.
The seat rod
20
has an actuating end
21
and a head end
23
. The actuating end
21
is provided with an outer threaded portion
22
. The head end is provided with a through hole
24
and a locating hole
25
. Located between the actuating end
21
and the head end
23
is an insertion portion
26
.
The drill bit
30
is located in the locating hole
25
.
The adjustment rod
40
is provided at both longitudinal ends with a protrusion
41
and is received in the through hole
24
of the head end
23
of the seat rod
20
.
The two tool mounting seats
50
are provided with a through hole
52
by means of which the tool mounting seats
50
are mounted oppositely on the adjustment rod
40
. The tool mounting seats
50
are further provided with a slotted surface
51
.
The machining tools
60
are fastened to the surface
51
of tool mounting seats
50
by a fastening screw such that the machining tools
60
face in the same direction as the drill bit
30
.
The spring
70
is fitted over the actuating end
21
of the seat rod
20
, which is received in the stepped hole
17
of the tubular portion
16
of the closed end
12
of the dust collector
10
such that the insertion portion
26
of the seat rod
20
is received in the bearing
18
.
The nut
80
is engaged with the outer threaded portion
22
of the seat rod
20
.
In operation, the machining dust is first deposited in the receiving space
13
of the dust collector
10
. The rotational motion of the seat rod
20
and the machining tool
60
brings about an air current, which forces the machining dust to move from the receiving space
13
into the machining dust collecting slots
19
of the dust collector
10
. In light of the dust collection being confined to the dust collecting slots
19
, the view of an operator of the ceiling driller is not totally obstructed by the machining dust.
Claims
- 1. A ceiling driller comprising:a dust collector having an open end and a closed end opposite to said open end, said closed end provided with a tubular portion having a stepped hole, said closed end having a planar surface facing said open end, said closed end having a plurality of dust collecting slots formed in said planar surface and extending radially outwardly from said tubular portion of said dust collecting slots having a bottom positioned a greater distance from said open end than a distance of said planar surface from said open end; a seat rod having an actuating end and a head end, said actuating end provided with an outer threaded portion, said head end provided with a through hole and a locating hole, said seat rod having an insertion portion located between said actuating end and said head end; a drill bit located in said locating hole of said head end of said seat rod; an adjustment rod having a protrusion at both longitudinal ends thereof, said adjustment rod received in said through hole of said head end of said seat rod; two tool mounting seats mounted on opposite sides of said seat rod on said adjustment rod, each of said two tool mounting seats provided with a slotted surface; two machining tools respectively fastened to said slotted surface of said tool mounting seats; a spring fitted over said actuating end of said seat rod; and a nut engaged with said outer threaded portion of said seat rod.
