The invention discloses an adaptor (10,50) for an air compressor (11,51). Adaptor (10,50) includes a manifold (14,52) having an inlet (20,74) adapted to be connected to the air exhaust of at least one air tool device (34) having an air motor connected, in use, to the air compressor (11, 51). An outl
The invention discloses an adaptor (10,50) for an air compressor (11,51). Adaptor (10,50) includes a manifold (14,52) having an inlet (20,74) adapted to be connected to the air exhaust of at least one air tool device (34) having an air motor connected, in use, to the air compressor (11, 51). An outlet (12,54) is adapted to be connected, in use, to the air intake of the air compressor (11,51), an air inlet (16,70) is open to ambient air and a valve mechanism (33,66) is adapted to, in use, close the air inlet (16,70) when a first predetermined pressure is reached by the air compressor (11,51).

1. An adaptor for use with an air compressor, said adaptor configured for operative placement between an air exhaust of an air tool device and an air intake of an air compressor, wherein said adaptor comprises a manifold comprising: a compressed air inlet adapted to be connected to the air exhaust of at least one air tool device having an air motor connected, in use, to the air compressor, said compressed air inlet comprising a one-way valve adapted to block the flow of the air exhaust through said compressed air inlet until the pressure of the air exhaust in said compressed air inlet exceeds a predetermined air exhaust pressure;an outlet adapted to be connected, in use, to the air intake of the air compressor;an ambient air inlet open to ambient air;a valve mechanism adapted to, in use, close said ambient air inlet when a first predetermined pressure is reached by the air compressor. 2. The adaptor as claimed in claim 1, further including a pressure relief valve which opens to exhaust compressed air at a second predetermined pressure. 3. The adaptor of claim 1, wherein a plurality of said outlets are provided which are adapted to be connected to respective air intakes of a multiple cylinder air compressor. 4. The adaptor of claim 1, wherein said compressed air inlet is at one end of said manifold and said ambient air inlet and said outlet are located on the side of said manifold. 5. The adaptor of claim 1, wherein said valve mechanism closes said ambient air inlet at about 1 bar or 14.38 psi or higher. 6. The adaptor of claim 1, wherein said outlet is directly connected to the air injection device of the air compressor. 7. An adaptor for use with an air compressor, said adaptor configured for operative placement between an air exhaust of an air tool device and an air intake of an air compressor, wherein said adaptor comprises a manifold comprising: a first air inlet adapted to be connected to the air exhaust of at least one air tool device having an air motor connected, in use, to the air compressor;an outlet adapted to be connected, in use, to the air intake of the air compressor;a second air inlet open to ambient air; anda first valve mechanism adapted to, in use, close said second air inlet when a first predetermined pressure is reached by the air compressor,wherein said first air inlet comprises: a sleeve comprising one or more apertures in fluid communication with the air intake of the air compressor and adapted to, in use, receive air exhaust of the at least one air tool device; anda second valve mechanism positioned within said sleeve and being adapted to, in use, operatively open and close the one or more apertures, and adapted to automatically open the one or more apertures when a predetermined air exhaust pressure is reached within said sleeve to thereby expose the one or more apertures to the air exhaust of the at least one air tool device. 8. The adaptor as claimed in claim 7, further including a pressure relief valve which opens to exhaust compressed air at a second predetermined pressure. 9. The adaptor of claim 7, wherein a plurality of said outlets are provided which are adapted to be connected to respective air intakes of a multiple cylinder air compressor. 10. The adaptor of claim 7, wherein said first air inlet is at one end of said manifold and said second air inlet and said outlet are located on the side of said manifold. 11. The adaptor of claim 7, wherein said valve mechanism closes said second air inlet at about 1 bar or 14.38 psi or higher. 12. The adaptor of claim 7, wherein said outlet is directly connected to the air injection device of the air compressor. 13. An adaptor for use with an air compressor, said adaptor configured for operative placement between an air exhaust of an air tool device and an air intake of an air compressor, wherein said adaptor comprises: a manifold comprising a chamber;a first air inlet connected to said manifold and adapted to be connected, in use, to the air exhaust of at least one air tool device having an air motor connected, in use, to the air compressor, said first air inlet comprising a one-way valve adapted to block the flow of the air exhaust through said first air inlet until the pressure of the air exhaust in said first air inlet exceeds a predetermined air exhaust pressure;an outlet connected to said manifold and adapted to be releasably connected, in use, to the air intake of the air compressor;a second air inlet connected to said manifold and open to ambient air; anda valve mechanism adapted to, in use, close said second air inlet when a first predetermined pressure is reached within the chamber,wherein said chamber is in direct fluid communication with each of said first air inlet, said second air inlet, and the air intake of the air compressor, wherein each of said first air inlet and said second air inlet supplies air first to said chamber to thereby then supply air from said chamber to the air intake of the air compressor. 14. The adaptor as claimed in claim 13, further including a pressure relief valve which opens to exhaust compressed air at a second predetermined pressure. 15. The adaptor of claim 13, wherein a plurality of said outlets are provided which are adapted to be connected to respective air intakes of a multiple cylinder air compressor. 16. The adaptor of claim 13, wherein said first air inlet is at one end of said manifold and said second air inlet and said outlet are located on the side of said manifold. 17. The adaptor of claim 13, wherein said valve mechanism closes said second air inlet at about 1 bar or 14.38 psi or higher. 18. The adaptor of claim 13, wherein said outlet is directly connected to the air injection device of the air compressor. 19. The adaptor of claim 1, wherein the air compressor is a screw compressor. 20. The adaptor of claim 1, wherein a tank is connected to the air compressor and the air tool device, the tank being adapted to store air compressed by the air compressor for use by the air tool device.
