6 Claims.
This invention relates to sanding drums and more particularly to rotary brush sanders.
The principal object of the invention is to provide an improvement in brush sanders of the type having alternate brushes and abrasive strips, in which the latter are replaced when worn, by the simultaneous unwinding of a plurality of strips coiled on the core of the sander. Most important however, among the objects of the invention is to simplify the construction of such a brush sander, as well as the servicing thereof, that is to say, the replenishing of used abrasive material, and thus reduce materially the original cost of the sander and the time consumed in installing and adjusting the abrasive strips.
The invention provides a belt grooved driving head having a multiplicity of annularly spaced, circular cavities receiving the ends of an equal number of longitudinally split tubes, disposed perpendicularly to the plane of the head and adapted to retain brush mountings. A retainer ring similarly equipped to receive the opposite ends of the tubes is held in position by a reel cap, the latter, in conjunction with the driving head, holding an abrasive re'el on which is wound the abrasive anchoring flaps of a fabric spider. The assembly as a whole constitutes a compartively simple arrangement in which abrasive surfaces may be quickly and expediently renewed.
With the foregoing objects in view, the invention has further reference to certain features of accomplishment which will become apparent as the description proceeds, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings wherein:
Figure 1 is a perspective view of a brush sander constructed according to the invention.
Figure 2 is a detail view of the abrasive anchoring spider.
Figure 3 is a transverse sectional view of the sander on a slightly larger scale, taken through the midsection thereof.
Figure 4 is a longitudinal sectional view thereof, and
Figure 5 is a fragmentary perspective view of the anchorage between a strip of abrasive and flap of the spider.
Continuing with a more detailed description of the drawing, reference numeral I0 denotes a driving head having a belt groove H therein to receive a belt by which the sanding head is driven. Spaced about the perimeter of the driving head It] in its inner face is a multiplicity of annular spaced, circular recesses 12 which are adapted to receive the ends of an equal number of longitudinally slotted tubes l3, the slots of the tubes facing outwardly. Set screws l4 enter radial holes in the head and aligned holes in the tubes I3 to secure the latter against rotative and longitudinal displacement with respect to the head Ill.
Brushes l5 are of conventional manufacture and each set of bristles is anchored in a metal mounting bar 16. These mounting bars are slid longitudinally into the tubes l3, the bristles extending through the slots in the tubes, as shown in Figure 4. To insure rigidity of the brushes in relation to the tubes I3, stabilizing wedges H are inserted in the tubes under the brush mounting bars 16.
Opposite the driving head It is a retaining ring [8 having an internal bevel l9 and is provided with an annular series of circular recesses 20 corresponding to the recesses l2 in the driving head Ill and which receive the opposite ends of the brush holders or tubes 13. A cap 2|, having an external bevel 22, is mounted on the spindle 23 of the mounting shaft 24 and its bevel 22 corresponds to and bears frictionally against the bevel I!) of the retainer ring [8, thus holding the latter in concentric relationship with the shaft spindle 23. The end of the spindle 23 is threaded to receive a nut 25 which holds the cap 2! compressedly against the ring l8 and otherwise maintains the parts in assembled relationship.
The driving head 10 has a boss 26 formed on its inner face which is in confronting relationship with a similar boss 21 formed on the inner face of the cap 2i. These bosses serve jointly as a mounting for a reel 28 which is frictionally retained thereon with the boss 2'! and cap 2! by means of a key 29, partially retained in a recess adjacent the boss 21 and extending into a slot 30 in the end of the reel 28.
In Figure 2 is shown an end elevational view of a spider, consisting of strips of fabric or other material formed into substantially U-shape to provide flaps 3!. The individual strips are sewed or otherwise secured together at a to define a circular sleeve which is slid onto the reel 28 and secured thereto by brads or rivets b.
In Figure 5 is shown the manner in which strips 32 of abrasive meterial are secured to the flaps 3| of the spider shown in Figure 2. As shown, staples 33 are employed but it has been found that adhesive tape is equally as suitable for the purpose.
To install the abrasive strips in the head, a number of such strips are cut in predetermined length and secured at their ends, as described, to the ends of the spider flaps 3 I. The spider is then slid onto the reel 28 which has previously been installed in the head. The free ends of the strips are passed between the brush mounting tubes I3, whereupon the cap 2| is mounted on the spindle 23. By inserting a suitable tool in a, hole 34 in the hub of the cap 2! the latter may be rotated to turn the reel 28 to wind the extended strips 32 of abrasive material onto the reel 28 in overlapping relationship until the extremities of the strips lie on a plane with or adjacent to the ends of the brushes 15. When the desired positionof the strips is obtained, the nut 25 is tightened to bring the bevel 22 of the cap 2! firmly against the corresponding bevel IQ of the retaining ring. [8-, thus looking all parts securely together.
When the extended portions of the abrasive strips 32 become too worn for effective use, the
