Abstract:
A rotary tool containing a core hub with helical groove on its outer surface filled in with continuous abrasive filament formed by folding of a pre-cut abrasive sheet including multiple bristle like straps extending radially from the hub. The method of manufacturing includes the steps of providing a hub, and forming a helical groove with inverted V-shaped cross-section along its cylindrical surface. An abrasive element is wound around the hub so that the folded edge is fed in the V-grove and is buckled inside the groove providing, along with securing it by sufficient pre-tension of the abrasive element, a secure anchoring of the abrasive element through locking of the buckled edge. The abrasive filament is formed from a roll of abrasive cloth as one continuous piece using a cutting operation and is provided with center-line perforations. These perforations assist folding the filament by providing it with discrete and desired flexibility as well as weakening it in such way that it assists the process of folded edge buckling inside the groove during winding and therefore forms a tight anchoring junction with the hub without need for an adhesive.
Abstract:
A tool for polishing a seal surface of a wellhead assembly includes a cylindrical tool body with an axis. The tool body includes a base member with a first end, and a second end. A tubular skirt member extends from the second end of the base member. The skirt member has a sidewall, a base end connected to the base member, and an open end opposite the base end. A plurality of axial slots extend through the sidewall of the skirt member, the axial slots being spaced circumferentially around the skirt member. A polishing belt is woven through the axial slots of the skirt member.
Abstract:
A sanding device comprising a core and with a surface having a plurality of bristles and pieces of abrasive cloth secured to it. According to the invention said pieces of abrasive cloth being secured to said surface by use of fastening elements extending through said abrasive cloth and into said core.
Abstract:
The invention concerns a rotating sanding/grinding/polishing tool (1) provided with a number of undercut mounting grooves (5) for mounting one or more displaceable grinding elements (4), at which is provided an annular groove (8) in a plane largely perpendicularly to the rotary axis of the tool, and a ring-shaped securing means (9) provided in the groove and a resilient means (11) along the periphery of the rotating tool (1), at which the securing means (9) has one side bearing against the resilient means (11) and another side bearing against part of the grinding elements (4).
Abstract:
A device for chamfering and sanding is disclosed. The device comprises a cylindrical body containing a hollow cone lined with sandpaper attached to the surface of the cone with adhesive. Two corners of the sandpaper are inserted respectively into two slots contained in the sidewall of the cone to further hold the sandpaper in place. The device comprises a shaft attached to the bottom of the device for clutching by a drill press or a three jaw chuck. As the device rotates, objects that require bevelling or sanding are inserted into the cone and pressed against the sandpaper. A sandpaper sleeve is attached to the outer surface of the cylindrical body that may be used for sanding and smoothing.
Abstract:
A grinding wheel comprising a cylindrical hub of a desired material having a first band of yieldable material on its outer circumferential surface, and a second band of abrasive material on the outer circumferential surface of the first band. The first band of yieldable material can be flexible or semi-flexible and provides support for the second band. An adhesive can be used to avoid relative motion between the hub and the first belt, and between the first and second belts.
Abstract:
A rotary die cutter mechanism for cutting and/or creasing corrugated boards including a rotatable die cylinder with a cutting die, and a rotatable anvil against which the corrugated boards are cut as they pass between the die cylinder and the anvil. A computer is used to determine how much the speed of the anvil should be changed to compensate for changes in the diameter of the anvil so that the boards are cut to the desired dimension. A fine adjustment of the size of the boards to be cut is made by providing information to the computer representative of the specific die being used. The computer then calculates an adjusted speed of the anvil to cut the boards to the desired dimension, and then sends a signal to a motor for changing the speed of the anvil to the adjusted speed calculated by the computer.
Abstract:
A portable, battery operated sanding or surface treatment device well adapted for use on a backyard barbeque grill. A combination handle/battery compartment extends downward from the horizontal element of an L-shaped bracket. An electric motor which is contained inside a motor casing is provided. The motor casing includes a portion of larger diameter and a portion of smaller diameter. Extending from the end of the motor casing of larger diameter is a rotating drive shaft. Attached to the drive shaft is a cylinder drive of predetermined span. An annular bearing assembly is provided whose external diameter is substantially similar to the predetermined span of the cylinder drive and whose internal diameter is slightly larger than the dimension of the smaller portion of the motor casing. The bearing assembly surrounds the smaller portion of the motor casing and the motor casing is screwed to the vertical portion of the L-shaped bracket. A cylindrical surface treatment member is chosen and positioned over and abuts the cylinder drive and bearing assembly. An appropriate battery is inserted into the handle/battery compartment and is electrically wired to the motor. The surface member is interchangeable. The cylindrical abrasive member is oriented perpendicularly to its handle without the use of gears to change the direction of rotation.
Abstract:
A paper clamp bar for a sanding machine comprises an elongate steel bar having two opposed major faces each defined by a concave helical surface. As a result the clamp bar can be fitted either way up to the drum of a sanding machine.
