Abstract
A cyclone separator having a manually operable bag shaker mechanism including a vertically oriented shaker rod supported on the top wall of the separator housing for vertical reciprocal and rotational movement relative to the separator housing. A filter bag disposed within the housing is suspended from a shaker bar mounted in fixed position on the lower end of the shaker rod. A compression spring received on the shaker rod acts between the top wall and a knob secured in fixed position to the upper end of the shaker rod. When the spring is compressed and released in its compressed position in response to a downwardly directed force on the knob a plurality of shaking cycles are produced which dislodges dust and other caked particulate material from the filter bag. The knob may be turned in either direction about its axis to twist the filter bag and thereby dislodge material from it.
