Abstract

A dust extraction device for a machine hand tool is provided. The dust extraction device includes an outer tube arranged about an axis, the outer tube being closed on the first axial end thereof by a wall. An opening is provided for a pump connection, the opening being arranged in a position neighboring the wall in a shell wall of the outer tube. An attachment feature is provided having a sheath-like shape and arranged on the side of the wall which lies opposite the outer tube in an axial extension of the outer tube. An inner tube is arranged inside the outer tube about the axis, and penetrates the wall. A length of the inner tube inside the outer tube is at least half of the length of the outer tube.

Claims

1. A dust extraction device for a machine hand tool, the dust extraction device comprising:

an outer tube arranged about an axis, the outer tube being closed on a first axial end by a wall;

an opening for a pump connection, the opening being arranged in a position neighboring the wall of the outer tube in a shell wall of the outer tube;

an attachment feature with a sheath-like shape, the attachment feature being arranged on an opposite side of the wall than the outer tube in an axial extension of the outer tube; and

an inner tube arranged inside the outer tube about the axis, wherein the inner tube penetrates the wall of the outer tube, and a length of the inner tube inside the outer tube is at least half of the length of the outer tube.

2. A dust extraction device according to claim 1, wherein the wall includes a wall opening, the wall opening penetrating the wall about the axis, wherein the inner tube is inserted into the wall opening in a positive-locking manner.

3. A dust extraction device according to claim 1, wherein the outer tube comprises a second axial end that comprises a contact surface for receiving a contact of a work piece.

4. A dust extraction device according to claim 1, wherein the inner tube comprises an inner diameter configured to allow passage of a spindle of a tool.

5. A dust extraction device according to claim 1, wherein the wall is tilted with respect to the axis.

6. A dust extraction device according to claim 1, wherein the outer tube is substantially rigid.

7. A dust extraction device according to claim 1, comprising ribs that are arranged in the outer tube, the ribs configured to impart a rotational movement about the axis to air sucked into the outer tube.

8. A dust extraction device according to claim 7, wherein the inner tube abuts the ribs in an axial direction.

9. A dust extraction device for a machine hand tool, the dust extraction device comprising:

an inner tube that is positionable cylindrically around a tool of a machine tool, wherein said inner tube has a first diameter;

an outer tube arranged cylindrically around said inner tube, wherein said outer tube has a second diameter substantially greater than said first diameter;

a wall formed between said inner tube and said outer tube at a first axial end of said inner tube and said outer tube; and

an opening positioned to allow the passage of air-borne dust from a second axial end of said outer tube opposite said wall to said opening, wherein said passage of said air-borne dust is between said inner tube and said outer tube to said opening.
