Wood planer attachment for directing and capturing wood shavings and chips
First Claim
1. 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.

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.
