Dust collecting cover
View Patent ↗An object of the present invention is to provide a dust collecting cover for a grinding cup wheel having both excellent practicality and versatility. A base plate is joined to a body of the dust collecting cover via elastic bodies at a plurality of positions, an adapter for joining an angle grinder is attachably/detachably provided on the base plate, and a portion of the body cover is formed as a sub-cover openable/closable utilizing a magnetic force of a magnet, and the sub-cover is configured to be fastenable to the body cover by a screw inserted via a through hole provided in the magnet into a female screw part provided on the body cover side.
1. A dust collecting cover for preventing scattering of and collecting dust generated by a power tool assembly during a grinding operation, said dust collecting cover being formed to cover a grinding toot having a spindle that is rotationally driven by a motor of the power tool assembly during the grinding operation, comprising:
a body cover to be surrounding the grinding tool,
a duct disposed on the body cover for joining to a vacuum cleaner to suck the dust during the grinding operation,
a base plate joined to the body cover via elastic bodies at a plurality of positions, said elastic bodies extending substantially perpendicular to the spindle when the dust collecting cover is attached to the power tool assembly, and
an adapter attached to the base plate with a first screw so that the adapter can connect the body cover to the power tool assembly.
2. The dust collecting cover according to claim 1 , further comprising a sub-cover attached to the body cover through a magnetic force of a magnet, said sub-cover being fixed to said body cover by a second screw inserted via a through hole provided in said magnet into a female screw part provided on said body cover.
3. The dust collecting cover according to claim 2 , wherein said body cover and said sub-cover are made of a transparent material.
4. The dust collecting cover according to claim 1 , wherein said adapter includes a first adapter member and a second adapter member connected to the first adapter member with a bolt.
5. The dust collecting cover according to claim 1 , wherein said base plate is formed of one single plate member.
6. The dust collecting cover according to claim 1 , wherein said body cover includes an opening portion at a center thereof for receiving the adapter.
7. The dust collecting cover according to claim 4 , wherein said first adapter member includes a screw hole for inserting the first screw and said second adapter member does not have the screw hole.
8. The dust collecting cover according to claim 6 , wherein said opening portion can receive differently sized adapters to attach to the power tool assembly.
