Abstract
A loading apparatus lowers or raises a dust or particulate collection container for ease of extraction and installation. This apparatus is disposed within a rigid frame structure capable of mounting to a wall or mobile device. A U-shaped member supports the dust collection container, the container typically being a cylindrical bucket or container with integral rim or handles. The U-shaped member orthogonally translates up into a first position and down into a second position with activation of a lever. The mechanics of the apparatus effects linear vertical travel of the dust collection container and when in a first position, mates the rim of the container onto a compliant gasket member disposed within the rigid frame structure, thus forming a vacuum-tight interface necessary for vacuum systems, in particular but not limited to, dust collection vacuum systems that utilize a cyclone dust separator.
