Abstract
An apparatus for preventing proliferation of dust during mixing of material, including a semi-dome shaped element configured for placement over a top opening of a mixing container, a fastener extending along a bottom circumference of the semi-dome shaped element, such that the fastener is configured to couple to the top brim of the mixing container, and an opening in the semi-dome shaped element, the opening configured to accept a vacuum hose.
Claims12
An apparatus for preventing profit ration of dust during mixing of material in a mixing container, the apparatus comprising:
- a semi-dome shaped element configured for placement over a top opening of the mixing container, wherein the semi-dome shaped element comprises one half of a dome;
- a fastener extending along a bottom portion of the semi-dome shaped element, such that said fastener is configured to couple to a top brim of the mixing container, wherein said fastener extends around one half of the top brim of the mixing container co-extensive with the one half of the dome;
- and
- an opening in the semi-dome shaped element, the opening configured to accept a vacuum hose, said opening located generally at a midpoint of the semi-dome shaped element;
- wherein when the semi-dome shaped element is fastened to the mixing container, about one half of the top opening of the mixing container is left open for insertion of an implement into the mixing container.
An apparatus for preventing proliferation of dust during mixing of material in a cylindrical mixing container, the apparatus comprising:
- a semi-dome shaped element configured for placement over a top opening of the cylindrical mixing container, wherein the semi-dome shaped element comprises one half of a dome, and wherein the semi-dome shaped element is configured to cover at least half of the top opening of the cylindrical mixing container;
- a fastener extending along a bottom portion of the semi-dome shaped element, such that an entire length of said fastener is configured to couple to a top brim of the mixing container, wherein said fastener extends around one half of the top brim of the cylindrical mixing container co-extensive with the one half of the dome;
- and
- an opening in the semi-dome shaped element, the opening including a mounting gasket configured for allowing the passage of a vacuum hose while providing support thereto, said opening located generally at a midpoint of the semi-dome shaped element;
- wherein when the semi-dome shaped element is fastened to the cylindrical mixing container, about one half of the top opening of the cylindrical mixing container is left open for insertion of an implement into the cylindrical nixing container.
