摘要:
A VACUUM PICKUP APPARATUS IN WHICH A STREAM OF AIR AND ENTRAINED MATERIAL FLOWING INTO AN EXPANSION AND MATERIAL COLLECTION CHAMBER STRIKES A CONCAVE SURFACE FLOW OBSTRUCTION AND IS DIVIDED INTO TWO PORTIONS DIRECTED ON OPPOSITELY TURNING COURSES OF FLOW FOR DISSIPATION OF THE KINETIC ENERGY OF THE INFLOWNG AIR AND ENTRAINED MATERIAL BY IMPINGEMENT OF THE PORTIONS FIRST AGAINST THE OBSTRUCTION AND THEN AGAINST EACH OTHER WITHIN THE CHAMBER. THE CAPACITY OF THE MATERIAL COLLECTION CHAMBER MAY BE VARIED BY SELECTIVE ARRANGEMENT AND INTERCONNECTION OF THREE HOUSING MEMBERS INCLUDED IN THE VACUUM PICKUP APPARATUS.
摘要:
The present invention provides a fish tape for drawing electric wires into conduits and the like The body of the fish tape comprises a unitary sheath or jacket of plastic, such as polyethylene, extruded onto a small diameter central core of fine stranded polyester fibers. The core has great strength in tension but lacks the necessary resistance to erosion, the necessary stiffness characteristics and resistance to external influences and stresses to constitute a fish tape. The sheath provides wear resisting and anti-friction qualities which the core of itself lacks, and provides along with the core a selected or predetermined degree of stiffness or controlled flexibility for threading the tape through a conduit. The means employed on one end-to apply tension for pulling the tape and attached conductoris provided by an integral loop which in case of breakage or other injury is renewable. The loop is integral with one end of the tape. A means for renewably bonding a head or pulling eye to the front end of the composite body of the tape is provided by a small diameter coupling which has an eye at the forward end of the tape for hitching thereto the conductor to be pulled through the conduit. Both the connection of the pulling eye to the front end of the body of the tape and the connection of the loop to the rear end of the body of the tape are renewable with simple tools and simple manipulation. This makes possible a long useful life, not possessed to the same degree by any known non-metallic fish tape.
