ABSTRACT

A sheet metal working tool particularly adapted for vehicle body repair
comprising a slide hammer assembly attached to a suction cup from which air is
drawn through the assembly. The tool incorporates a compressed air-operated
vacuum ejector functioning on the venturi principle into a stop on the end of
the slide hammer assembly opposite the suction cup. The exhaust stream is
effectively muffled and diffused through a collar of hard, rugged, porous
material that fits within a channel in the surface of the vacuum ejector/stop
and that completely covers the port through which the exhaust exists the
vacuum ejector/stop. The suction cup is reinforced by an internally located
stiffener, and shock loads that may damage the threaded connections among
components of the tool are damped by a shock absorbing hose connected to the
vacuum ejector/stop.
