PCT No. PCT/SE79/00099 Sec. 371 Date Dec. 24, 1979 Sec. 102(e) Date Dec. 21, 1979 PCT Filed Apr. 24, 1979 PCT Pub. No. WO79/00981 PCT Pub. Date Nov. 29, 1979 An aspirator for air sampling, the air samples being sucked into a glass vessel for a certain period of time. The aspirator can be carried in a pocket, for example, by the one whose working environment is being analyzed. In a casing there is disposed a replaceable cylinder (2) with associated plunger (4). The plunger is intended to be pulled in by a motor unit (12) and gearbox, arranged adjacent the cylinder (2), the unit (12) rotating a drum (8) onto which is wound a string. The other string end is fixed, via a pulley (7), to the spring-loaded plunger (4). When air has been sucked in to a sufficient amount, the opening (3) of the cylinder is closed and the plunger can be released from the string and the spring, which is possible since the plunger is only magnetically retained (4).
Aspirator for air sampling, there being arranged in a casing a removable pump cylinder (2) with accompanying plunger (4) and a motor (12) arranged to move the plunger for drawing in sample air through a sealable opening (3) in the pump cylinder, characterized in that the motor with an accompanying gearing device is arranged in the casing beside the pump cylinder and is coupled to a drum (8) arranged for winding up a string, the free end of the string being coupled to the plunger, which is biased by means of a spring (5) disposed in the casing, oppositely to the pulling direction of the string.
