Abstract
An improved device for machining workpieces in a chamber surrounded by a housing. The housing has a hollow space defined by housing walls. A blasting nozzle is positioned in the chamber and is connected by a line to a supply of blasting medium in a container. The chamber is separated by partition walls from the hollow space of the housing. A carrying structure in the hollow space carries the container through a loading opening defined by the housing walls. The loading opening can be closed by a wall. The carrying structure for the blasting medium container is movable between a working position in the housing through the loading opening into a loading position where a filling opening in the medium container is outside the housing.
Claims22
A device for machining workpieces, said device comprising:
- a housing defining a hollow space, a chamber separate from the space, and a loading opening;
- means on the housing for selectively opening and closing the loading opening;
- a blasting nozzle;
- means for mounting the blasting nozzle to the housing so that a blasting medium delivered through the blasting nozzle is directed into the chamber;
- a container for a supply of blasting medium,
- said blasting medium container having a filling opening for accessing a storage space defined by the container;
- means for communicating a blasting medium from the blasting medium container to the blasting nozzle;
- means on the housing for supporting the blasting medium container;
- and
- means cooperating between the housing and supporting means for selectively moving the supporting means with the blasting medium container thereon through the loading opening between a a) working position within the housing space and b) a loading position in which the filling opening on the blasting medium container is exposed externally of the housing to facilitate filling of the blasting medium container wherein the supporting means and the blasting medium container are moved together.
In a device for machining workpieces in a chamber surrounded by a housing, the housing having an inspection window with first and second spaced gripping holes, the improvement comprising:
- said housing having a plurality of walls including laterally spaced side walls, the plurality of walls defining a hollow space with the housing having a top and bottom;
- a blasting nozzle;
- means for mounting the nozzle to the housing so that the blasting nozzle can blast workpieces in the chamber;
- a blasting medium container having a vertically extending peripheral wall bounding an interior space for containing blasting medium, there being a filling opening in the container;
- a supply line for delivering blasting medium in the container to the blasting nozzle;
- wall means for separating the chamber from the hollow space of the housing;
- means in the hollow space for carrying the blasting medium container;
- a loading opening defined by the housing for loading the container;
- means for closing the loading opening in the housing wall;
- wherein the supply line includes a flexible portion in the hollow space of the housing and the carrying means together with the blasting medium container can be moved between a working position located within the housing through the loading opening into a loading position in which the blasting medium container is arranged so that the filling opening is external of the housing.

- a supply line for delivering blasting medium in the container to the blasting nozzle;
- wall means for separating the chamber from the hollow space of the housing;
- means in the hollow space for carrying the blasting medium container;
- a loading opening defined by the housing for loading the container;
- means for closing the loading opening in the housing wall;
- wherein the supply line includes a flexible portion in the hollow space of the housing and the carrying means together with the blasting medium container can be moved between a working position located within the housing through the loading opening into a loading position in which the blasting medium container is arranged so that the filling opening is external of the housing;
- wherein the device includes guide rail means for moving the carrying means;
- and
- wherein the carrying means comprises a drawer.
