Abstract
The present invention is a superior micro abrasive blasting device ( ) with an integral sealed reservoir ( ) that converts into a mixing chamber ( ). When not in use, the micro abrasive blasting device ( ) forms a sealed reservoir ( ) that protects the stored particulate matter ( ) from contamination and spillage. When the device is setup for use, the sealed reservoir ( ) transforms into an operational mixing chamber ( ). A method is provided for easily unsealing reservoir ( ) and turning it into the mixing chamber ( ) in a single motion. In the preferred embodiment, a compliant closure cap ( ) is displaced along the container side wall ( ) in the direction of the container end wall ( ) . The displacement causes the gas-delivery conduit ( ) disposed within the reservoir ( ) to protrude through the compliant closure cap ( ) and to form a gas-receiving port ( ). The same displacement to the closure cap ( ) removes the discharge conduit cap ( ) internal to the sealed reservoir ( ), opening the discharge conduit inlet ( ) for particulate matter ( ) passage. The position of closure cap ( ) with respect to the discharge conduit inlet ( ) provides means for gas-abrasive flow regulation.
