Abstract
Disclosed is an electric press having a substantially airtight casing containing therein a drive device for reciprocatingly moving a ram relative to a work positioned on a base to press the work, and a device for exhausting the dusts produced within the casing from a room where the electric press is located to the outside into open air through a pipe connected to the casing, the electric press comprising dust exhausting means including at least two openings provided at the casing thereof, one of the openings being of a relatively small diameter to be used in connection with an exhauster of a normal level of exhausting ability and the other of the openings being of a relatively large diameter to be used in connection with an exhauster of a relatively low level of exhausting ability. Further the casing is divided into an upper portion and a lower portion, and the upper portion is detachably mounted to said lower portion. The dust exhausting means includes a sealing sheet of a property preventing dusts from passing therethrough, the sealing sheet has one end secured to the inside of the upper portion of said casing such that the free end of the sealing sheet extends down into the lower portion of said casing all therearound to close a clearance between the upper portion and the lower portion, said sheet being yielding to the exhausting force of said exhauster to allow outer air to flow into said casing through the clearance when the exhauster is operated.
