FLOOR FOR BLAST ROOM WITH UNIFORM DOWN-DRAFT VENTILATION

摘要

A blast room which has air drawn through a pervious top downwardly through a perforated floor and means for separating and exhausting the air and collecting the blasting material. The top is louvered by three tiers of angle beams resting on supports and alternately disposed so that an upwardly directed air blast sufficient to lift a beam moves same to block the space between two adjacent beams in the tier above. The floor includes a perforated grating lying on detached and readily removable beams of "M" cross section having apertures in the central lower apex, there being two inclined longitudinally extending plates within the beam on either side of said apex. In one embodiment the plates extend normally from the vertical legs of the beam. In another they are vertical. In a further embodiment an inclined angle beam is inverted above the apex of the M-beam with slots disposed along the edges of the angle beam.
