A dust collector in one aspect of the present invention comprises a dust collection portion, a communication portion, and an interlock operation control portion. When the communication portion receives an interlock command transmitted from an electric working machine, the interlock operation control portion makes the dust collection portion operate interlocking with the electric working machine. The interlock operation control portion includes a storage portion, in which identification information specific to the electric working machine with which the dust collection portion is to be made to perform the interlock operation is stored.

An automated self-service machine for the selective sharpening of ice skate blades utilizes a pair of actuating mechanisms that operate a sharpening device. The sharpening device is disposed within a base and accessible only when activated. A user wearing the ice skate blade to be sharpened steps onto the base and inserts the ice skate blade within a slot where the sharpening blade resides. A control system is configured to enable a user to interface with it to provide the activation of the sharpening device and to enable financial transactions.

An air guider disposed in a grinding machine tool. The grinding machine tool comprises a casing and a motor disposed in the casing. The casing comprises a head for disposing the motor and a body formed with at least one air inlet. The air guider comprises a main body, and an ascending diversion portion integrally formed with the main body, the main body is disposed at a junction between the head and the body, the ascending diversion portion comprises a main guide surface to guide a first heat dissipation airflow entering from the air inlet to flow toward a top of the motor, and two auxiliary guide surfaces respectively disposed on two sides of the main guide surface to generate a second heat dissipation airflow.

An illuminating drywall sponge device provides a drywall sanding/scraping tool having tapered cavities that securely retain an illumination mechanism, such that the work surface being sanded is illuminated during sanding operations; and a marking mechanism for marking the illuminated work surface. The sponge light device provides a housing through which the sanding function is primarily performed. The housing has a block or rectangular shape, and walls with an abrasive material. The housing also has multiple tapered cavities formed at the walls of the housing, oriented coplanar with the surface being sanded. An illumination mechanism fits into the cavity. The illumination mechanism orients in the cavity to throw light outwardly from the edge of the housing. A grommet fits into the outer region of the cavities to help stabilize and fasten the illumination mechanism in the cavities. A retractable marking mechanism may also insert into the cavity.

A vibration-reducing component and an apparatus for its use. The vibration-reducing component combines an elastic member with a compression element to both resist applied forces and absorb selected vibrations. The vibration reducing component finds particular utility in tools that inherently create vibrations.
