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.

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.
