Definitions

  • the invention relates to a rotary belt tool for surface processing.
  • Such tools are e.g. Known as belt grinders, in which an abrasive belt runs over a driven and a rotating disc, or rotary brush tools are also known, but in which the bristles are carried by the brush body or by segment pieces (DE-OS 28 25 090, DE-OS 31 35 468).
  • These known tools have various disadvantages such as that they are poorly suited for the surface treatment of profiled bars or for structuring wood and that they, among other things. unwieldy, not very effective and, above all, only very limitedly applicable and usable.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of eliminating these disadvantages and of providing an improved radially acting rotary belt tool for surface processing which is more versatile, more effective and yet is also easy to handle, durable, safe and easy to maintain, and compact and inexpensive.
  • this object is achieved according to the invention by the features in the characterizing part of claim 1 as the main claim.
  • the features of the subclaims represent developments and refinements of the main subject-matter of the object.
  • the tool according to the invention can be designed, for example, for structuring wood or for working on leather or for removing rust from steel profiles as a wire brush, in which the axis of rotation relative to the tool axis Bristles standing radially outwards, for example non-rotatably to their main bristle axis, can be fastened at regular intervals from one another in such a way that bristles which are one behind the other in the circumferential direction are axially offset laterally from one another by the bristle wire diameter and the bristle end regions can be slightly bent, for example also in the circumferential direction, and the bristle ends can be ground and the removal rate can be changed significantly by changing the direction of rotation of the tool.
  • the wood can be structured without damaging the wood surface.
  • Different bristle lengths over the axial tool length make it possible to machine rods of any material with a profile cross section in the longitudinal direction on their surface over partial contour areas.
  • the free wire ends experience a much desired self-sharpening due to the non-rotatability and lateral displacement of the bristles, while otherwise the surface to be machined can be pollinated with increasing smoothing of the bristle ends. Resharpening of the bristle ends by simply removing or dressing e.g. on the grindstone is possible.
  • the tool according to the invention can also be used and used as a rotating file, as a milling tool, as a polishing tool, as a grinding tool, etc., depending on the equipment of the band with the corresponding elements acting on the surface to be machined.
  • the tool according to the invention is i.a. for structuring or cleaning surfaces as well as e.g. also for roughening and refurbishing, for example leather or for polishing.
  • FIG. 1 shows an exemplary embodiment of a rotary belt tool according to the invention, in which the belt 5 is equipped with steel bristles of the same length.
  • the flat thin endless band 5 is stretched as a ring on a rubber-elastic ring body 3, which is clamped axially deforming between the two flanges 1 and 2 of the clamping unit 1, 2 and attempts to expand radially as a result of its deformation, as a result of which the band 5 is clamped.
  • the ring body 3 surrounds two mutually facing axial lugs 8, 9 on the two flanges 1 and 2, which center it and prevent its deformation towards the tool axis.
  • the projections 11 enter the ring body 3 made of rubber-elastic material in an increasingly deep axial manner.
  • One of the flanges 2 has a central axial through-hole with a counterbore, which receives the shaft and the head of a clamping screw.
  • the clamping screw engages with its threaded shaft in a blind hole thread in the axial approach of the other flange 1, so that when the clamping screw is tightened, the two flanges 1 and 2 are clamped axially against one another and against the annular body 3, which in turn causes the band 5 to be circumferential of the ring body 3 is clamped.
  • the two flanges 1, 2 protrude somewhat beyond the diameter of the ring body 3 so as to axially enclose the band 5 on the ring body 3.
  • the flange 1 with the threaded blind hole in its axial shoulder 8 carries on its side facing away from the shoulder a shaft 7 which serves to clamp the tool in a rotary drive, for example in the chuck of a hand drill.
  • the e.g. Shaft 7 positively attached to flange 1 can have, for example, a regular hexagon cross section.
  • the two mutually facing axial lugs 8, 9 of the two flanges 1, 2 are at their ends by a radial web, on the one hand, and a corresponding groove, on the other hand, so positively interlocked that the two flanges 1, 2 are non-rotatable but axially displaceable.
  • the bristle length in this tool corresponds to approximately half the ring body diameter or approximately a quarter of the tool diameter.
  • the clamping screw has, for example, a hexagon socket in the head.
  • the shaft 7 is axially fixed, for example, by radial deformation of the wall of an attachment shoulder of the flange 1 receiving its end.
  • FIG. 2 shows the ring body 3 of the tool, which is made of rubber-elastic material, with its bore for receiving the flange projections 8, 9 and with the end-side recesses for the engagement of the flange projections 11, which have a uniformly increasing depth with a smaller radius.
  • the two end faces of the ring body 3 are very frustoconical, ie the axial length of the ring body 3 increases slightly and evenly with increasing radius from the axis.
  • the ring body 3 has a plane of symmetry perpendicular to the ring body axis.
  • Figure 3 shows the flange 1 of the clamping unit 1, 2 with the fastening attachment for the hexagonal shaft on one flange side for clamping the tool in a rotary drive, e.g. the drill chuck of a drill.
  • the fastening attachment has a blind hole with a hexagonal inner cross section.
  • the flange 1 carries the axial shoulder 8 with the threaded blind hole, a guide recess as a cylindrical end depression and radially outside the depression, each with a carrier web.
  • the flange 1 has radially extending stiffening ribs that decrease conically radially outwards.
  • the flange 1 On the side of the axial cylindrical projection 8, the flange 1 carries, with a larger radius, the projections 11 which are evenly distributed over the circumference and whose height relative to the flange 1 decreases uniformly to a lower final height with increasing radius.
  • Figure 4 finally shows the other flange 2, which differs from the former in that, instead of the fastening lug and the threaded blind hole, a through hole for the clamping screw is provided with a conical depression at the end of the hole facing away from the lug.
  • the free end of the attachment has a transverse groove or a slot for receiving the driving webs transverse to the tool axis.
  • This flange 2 has no radial stiffening ribs.
