Another embodiment incorporates a compressed air-operated vacuum ejector functioning on the venturi principle into a stop on the end of the slide hammer assembly opposite the suction cup.
Claims14
A sheet material working tool, comprising a slide tube with a suction cup on one end and a stop on the other end, a slide hammer slidably mounted to slide along the tube and impact the stop and a means for reducing the air pressure within the suction cup which means communicates with the suction cup through the slide tube.
A sheet material working tool, comprising a slide tube with a suction cup on one end, a combination vacuum ejector and stop mounted on the other end of the slide tube and communicating with the suction cup through the slide tube and a slide hammer mounted to slide along the tube and impact the stop.
A sheet material working tool, comprising a slide tube with a suction cup on one end, a stop mounted on the other end of the slide tube and a vacuum ejector having a control communicating with the suction cup through the slide tube to reduce the air pressure within the slide tube and suction cup.
A sheet material working tool, comprising a slide tube with a suction cup mounted on one end to provide fluid communication between the tube and the inside of the cup, a stop mounted on the other end of the tube, a hammer slidably mounted on the tube to impact the stop, a means for reducing atmospheric pressure and a hose communicating between the pressure reducing means and the end of the slide tube on which the stop is mounted.
A sheet material working tool comprising a slide tube with a suction cup on one end, a stop and a vacuum ejector mounted on the other end of the slide tube, which vacuum ejector communicates with the suction cup through the slide tube, and a slide hammer mounted to slide along the tube and impact the stop.
