Abstract

The liquid diffuser adapter is intended to be attached to the arbor wheel of a center fed, wet stone fabrication machine to facilitate dust elimination. The adapter contains a fastener, a plurality of diffusing channels, and a protective coating. The fastener includes a main body, a flange, and a receptive cavity. The flange is concentrically and adjacently connected to the main body. The receptive cavity traverses through the flange and partially into the main body. The receptive cavity contains an opening, a threaded portion, and a hub portion. The threaded portion is used to attach the adapter to the arbor wheel through the opening; the hub portion allows for water to flow into the device and be redirected into the plurality of diffusing channels; the plurality of diffusing channels is radially positioned about the receptive cavity, connecting the hub portion to the exterior environment and thus the cutting disk.
