Abstract
A machining system including a first body with a first channel to receive a first stream of compressed air, a second channel to receive a second stream of compressed air, an upper compartment, the first stream of compressed air configured to clear debris from an upper compartment surface and a lower compartment surface when the first stream of compressed air is engaged, the upper compartment configured to shift to a position where the upper compartment abuts the lower compartment and conceals the upper compartment surface and the lower compartment surface when the second stream of compressed air is engaged, and the lower compartment configured to shift when in contact with the upper compartment.
Claims4
A machining system comprising:
- a first body comprising:
- i) a first channel configured to receive a first stream of compressed air;
- ii) a second channel configured to receive a second stream of compressed air;
- iii) an upper compartment with a first position unmated to a lower compartment, wherein an upper compartment surface and a lower compartment surface therebetween the upper compartment and lower compartment are exposed;
- iv) the first stream of compressed air configured to clear debris from the upper compartment surface and the lower compartment surface when the first stream of compressed air is engaged and said surfaces are exposed;
- v) the upper compartment configured to shift to a second position, wherein the upper compartment abuts the lower compartment and conceals the upper compartment surface and the lower compartment surface when the second stream of compressed air is engaged;
- and
- vi) the lower compartment configured to shift when in contact with the upper compartment, enabling access of the first stream of compressed air to a second body.
