Abstract
An improved chip capturing device for a planer comprising a chip director hood attached to a wood planer housing and a tubular shaped chip transporter. A first aperture of generally oval shape is embodied within the chip transporter and positioned on a first end of the transporter while a second aperture of generally oval shape and of greater circumference than the first aperture is embodied and positioned on a second end of the transporter. A third aperture to facilitate the introduction of wood shavings and chips to the tubular shaped chip transporter is positioned generally between the first and second apertures, reflects a generally rectangular shape, and extends downwardly generally perpendicular to the chip capture hood.
Claims13
An improved chip capturing device for a planer having a housing which includes a chip outlet, the improvement comprising:
- a chip deflector hood attached to said housing and positioned adjacent to said chip outlet;
- a tubular shaped chip transporter attached to said chip deflector hood;
- a first aperture of generally oval shape within said chip transporter and positioned on a first end of said transporter;
- a second aperture of generally oval shape within said chip transporter, said second aperture positioned generally opposite of said first aperture;
- and
- a third aperture extending generally perpendicular to said chip deflector hood, said third aperture positioned generally between said first and second apertures.
An improved chip capturing device for a planer having a housing which includes an interior chamber, a motor driven blade member rotatably mounted to said housing and extending transversely of said interior chamber, a chip outlet extending transversely of said interior chamber adjacent an upstream side of said blade member, and a table positioned below said blade member, the improvement comprising:
- a chip deflector hood attached to said housing and positioned adjacent to said chip outlet;
- a tubular shaped chip transporter attached to said chip deflector hood;
- a first aperture of generally oval shape embodied within said chip transporter and positioned on a first end of said transporter;
- a second aperture of generally oval shape embodied within said chip transporters, said second aperture of greater circumference than said first aperture and positioned generally opposite of said first aperture;
- a third aperture of generally rectangular shape and extending generally perpendicular to said chip capture hoods, said third aperture positioned generally between said first and second apertures;
- a chip flow baffle connected to said chip deflector hood and extending into said tubular shaped chip transporter;
- a first tubular air transport vessel attached to said first aperture;
- and
- a second tubular air transport vessel attached to said second aperture.
