Abstract

A banded grinder for working edges of slabs of marble, granite and the like, comprising a main body keyable on a rotary chuck and having a lateral surface which is shaped complementarily to an edge of a slab. The grinder comprises a length of abrasive tape, arranged to superpose the lateral surface of the main body, ring-wound about the main body and closed at opposite ends. The grinder further comprises a layer of elastically deformable material inpterpositioned between and adherent to the lateral surface of the main body and the length of abrasive tape and rendering the main body and the abrasive tape reciprocally solidly constrained. The layer of elastically deformable material covers the opposite ends and the cut lateral edges of the abrasive tape, incorporating both in a banded strip having a continuous abrasive surface.

With reference to the figures, the invention essentially comprises a banded grinder 10 for working an edge 4 of a slab 5 of marble, granite and the like.
The grinder 10 comprises a main body 1 made in metal and axially keyable on a rotary chuck 2 and having a lateral surface 3 shaped complementarily to the edge 4 of a slab 5.
The grinder 10 comprises a tract of abrasive tape 6 superposed on a lateral surface 3 of the main 21~514~

; body 1 and ring-wound thereon, and closed at opposite ends 7 of said ,3brasive tape 6.

The layer 11 of elastically deformable material covers the opposite ends 7 of the abrasive tape 6, incorporating them in a banded strip 12 proYided with a continuous abrasive surface 16 (see figure . 2).
Figure 4 shows how the abrasive tape 6, before the final construction of the grinder 10, ;5 provided with a plurality of cuts 20 made at 1ateral edges 9 thereof and having the aim of creating an optimal adaptation of the lateral surface 3 of the main body 1 of the grinder 10 when said main body 1, as shown in figures 1, 2 and 3, exhibits curved generatrices shaped complementarily to the edge 4 of the slab 5.

' -21~51~0 -The layer 11 of el,3stically deformable material, in this case, covers also the cut lateral edges 9 of the strip of abrasive tape 6, incorporating said cut lateral edges ~ into the banded strip 1 05 and cr.3ting a continuous surface thereof.
With reference to figure 5, a grinder 10 according to the in~ ntion can be obtained with a procedure utilizing parts as schematically represented in the fi~ure and constituted by the following operativ phases: , - po~itioning of at least one length of abrasive tape ~ on an internal surface 13 of heated half dies 14 and 15, which internal surface 13 is shapcd complementarily to the lateral surface 3 of ~aid main body 1;
- spreading of a layer 11 of elastically deformable material in semi-liquid state Oll the lateral surface 3 of the main body l, which layer subsequently adheres to said lateral surface 3;
- closure of the two half-dies 14 and 15 about the main body 1, such that the abrasive tape 6 sinlcs into the layer 11 of elastically deformable material;
- solidification of the layer 11 of elastically deformable material with consequent intimate 21~51~D

: connection of the abrasive tape (63 and the la~er 11 of elastically deformable material.
The above-described proce3s utilizes a layfr 11 of vulcanized rubber, and can be substituted with 05 equivalent re~ult3 and similar equipmellt using a ~ conventiollal injection process of the material to : be us.-d for the layer 11.
The invention is susc~ptibl-- to numerous variatîons and modification~, all entering within th~ field of the inventive concept, which concept is herein related to specific examples of an embodiment of 3 grinder 11, as shown in figures 1, 2 and 3. The grinders realizable according to the present invention can, however, exhibit variou~
geometrical shape~ and sizes for realizing, for example, convex ~-dges, concave edges and/or mixed-shape edges, som~ of which are illustrated in figure 6.
