Claims20
A dust shroud for reciprocating saws comprising:
- a shroud body having an upper surface and a peripheral wall extending downwardly from the upper surface so as to define a dust collection chamber;
- a plurality of bristles extending downwardly from the peripheral wall;
- a vacuum port attached to the shroud body, the vacuum port having an interior which is open to the dust collection chamber to draw debris from the dust collection chamber;
- an attachment collar extending upwardly from the upper surface of the shroud body;
- a slot formed through the attachment collar and shroud body such that both the attachment collar and the shroud body can flex to thereby increase and decrease in size;
- and
- an attachment strap disposed around the attachment collar, wherein the attachment strap is selectively tightened to reduce the size of the attachment collar to thereby secure the shroud to a reciprocating saw, and wherein the shroud body and dust collection chamber are reduced in size as the attachment collar is reduced in size.

A dust collection system including a shroud and a reciprocating saw comprising:
- a reciprocating saw having an elongate generally linear body and a blade extending outwardly from a front end of the body in a direction generally collinear with the body;
- a dust shroud comprising:
- a shroud body, the shroud body having:
- an upper surface;
- a peripheral wall extending downwardly from the upper surface to define a dust collection chamber;
- a bottom edge of the peripheral wall;
- an attachment system extending upwardly from the upper surface allowing for the shroud to be attached to the saw;
- a slot extending through a part of the attachment system, the upper surface, and the peripheral wall in alignment with a longitudinal axis of the blade when the shroud is attached to the saw;
- a vacuum port attached to the shroud body and disposed in communication with the dust collection chamber to draw dust therefrom;
- and
- wherein, when the dust shroud is attached to the saw the bottom edge of the peripheral wall is disposed in a plane which is generally perpendicular to a line disposed along a length of the blade and the body of the saw.

- an attachment collar extending upwardly from the upper surface of the shroud body;
- a clamp disposed around the attachment collar to secure the attachment collar to a tool;
- a slot formed through the attachment collar, upper surface, and peripheral wall;
- and
