Definitions

  • the first object of the present invention is a disc made of fibrous material for polishing metal parts, in particular parts of watch cases.
  • polishing operations play an essential role in the termination of certain metal parts, such as certain parts of watch cases, in particular parts made of a precious metal.
  • the required degree of polishing must be obtained in a perfectly regular manner over the entire surface of the part, and this as quickly as possible and without deformation of the part.
  • these requirements are particularly difficult to meet if the surfaces to be polished are complicated, such as for example the connection surfaces between the outer periphery of a middle part or of a case body and a hinge or a strap fixing horn.
  • US-A-2,146,548 describes abrasive wheels formed by a stack of fabric discs covered with abrasive material on their external face of the kind mentioned in the preamble of claim 1. Radial or oblique slots are provided. They all extend to the same depth.
  • the different elements are separated from each other at their periphery or retained by a central means.
  • the disc of the invention is characterized in that it forms a solid piece of said material and in that its periphery is cut into contiguous strips separated by thin slots, which have at all points of their length a direction oblique to the radial direction and which extend over varying depths so as to determine lamellae whose thickness remains approximately constant as a function of the depth.
  • the subject of the invention is also a method of polishing a metal part, in particular a watch case part, characterized in that a disc of the aforementioned type is used, the periphery of which is cut into contiguous strips separated by thin slits having, at all points along their length, an oblique direction with respect to the radial direction, and this disc is rotated at a sufficient speed so that, under the effect of centrifugal force, the lamellae are compressed l 'against the other at the periphery of the disc.
  • the polishing disc shown in fig. 1 is a massive, relatively hard felt disc with a diameter of around 30 cm.
  • the thickness of the disc is of the order of 10 mm.
  • This disc 1 has at its periphery a series of thin slots of different lengths.
  • the slots designated by 2 extend to a circle 3 whose diameter is approximately half the total diameter of the disc, while the slots designated by 4 which are interposed between the slots 2 extend in depth to a circle 5 of intermediate diameter between the periphery of the disc 1 and of the circle 3.
  • these different slots determine branched lamellae whose thickness varies relatively little as a function of the depth.
  • the slots can be cut in a straight line.
  • the number and therefore the thickness of the slats is not critical. In the embodiment described (diameter 30 cm) the number was, at the periphery of the disc, of 90. However, according to the needs this number can be modified.
  • the optimum angle of inclination of the slots depends on the application cases. It has been found that in some cases a value of 20 ° is advantageous, but this value is not limiting. It will also be noted that the angle of inclination of the slots could also be reversed with respect to the direction of rotation, from the example in FIG. 1.
  • the latter For carrying out a polishing operation by means of the disc 1, the latter is mounted so as to be driven in rotation in the direction of the arrow 7 in FIG. 1, at a speed such that under the effect of centrifugal force the various lamellae separated by the slots 2 and 4 are compressed against each other.
  • the resistance force is relatively high, while, if the application force is directed obliquely to the plane of the disc, the lamellae can easily deform laterally. This prevents wear of the part if it is a piece of soft metal, for example gold.
  • Fig. 3 schematically represents a type of middle designated by 8 comprising two hinges 9 of which all the outer surfaces are rounded in the manner of a rod. It has been found that on this type of middle, the rounded edges, in particular in the connection surfaces between the rod and the hinges, could be performed very quickly and easily without risk of wear of the part when using a disc 1 driven at the appropriate speed.
