Abstract
In a scattered objects collector, air which has inducted scattered object is extracted and treated to minimize the release of dust into the ambient. The scattered objects collector has a power source driving an induction fan, a scattered objects induction portion through which scattered objects are inducted by the fan, a scattered objects collection vessel, and an air discharge duct through which, for enhanced induction efficiency, extracted air is directed from the collection vessel back to the induction portion. A cutter can be installed at the induction fan.
Claims2
A scattered objects collector comprising:
- a power source;
- and induction fan drive-coupled to the power source for generating an air intake stream;
- a scattered objects induction portion disposed and configured for inducting scattered objects in the air intake stream and comprising a rake portion with a plurality of brushes;
- a scattered objects collection vessel connected to the induction portion for collecting the collected inducted objects out of the air intake stream, thereby leaving a residual air stream;
- and
- an air discharge duct configured and disposed for discharging the residual air stream to the scattered objects induction portion and comprising an air spout which is configured and disposed for discharging the residual air to the brushes.
