Abstract
The purpose of this invention is to retain an abhor nut to a power tool while the nut is not in use. More specifically it is intended to keep the abhor nut of an angle grinder attached to the grinder. Grinding abrasives for an angle grinder can be purchased with or without a center hub. The abrasives that do not have a center hub make use of the abhor nut to secure them to the grinder. When an abrasive with a center hub is used on the grinder the abhor nut is not needed. The nut is removed from the abhor and frequently becomes misplaced. This invention keeps the grinder and nut together while the nut is not being used. This is designed for angle grinders, but could be used for other power tools and machinery.
Description
- This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 61/632,306, filed Jan. 23, 2012, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to a method of unification of a power tool and it's sometimes used parts. More specifically to securing an abhor/retaining nut to an angle grinder while the nut is not in use. This is done to prevent the loss of the abhor/retaining nut.
- 2. Description of the Related Art
- Angle grinders can be used with a plurality of stones, wire brushes, sanding disks and grinding and cutting wheels. This selection of attachments will herein after be collectively referred to as abrasives and will only be distinguished as abrasives with a center hub or center hole. Some abrasives are manufactured with a hole in the middle that passes through the abhor and then secured in place with a retaining/abhor nut. Other abrasives are manufactured with a center hub which is a threaded nut which receives the abhor and is incorporated as part of the abrasive wheel. Because this hub screws on to the grinder's abhor it replacing the need for a retaining/abhor nut while this form of abrasive is being used. During the use of an abrasive with a center hub the retaining/abhor nut frequently becomes misplaced. Abrasives that are held in place with an abhor/retaining nut usually also have a backing plate or flange. This is also sometimes also removed from the abhor when an abrasive with a hub is in use. These two pieces (the abhor/retaining nut and the backing plate/flange) will hereinafter be collectively referred to as the nut. The present invention can hold one or both of these pieces. Angle grinders frequently are manufactured with a threaded bore on each side of the front housing. The intended purpose of these threaded holes is to receive a handle/paddle that provides the operator with greater leverage and control of the grinder when it is in use. One hole on each side of the grinder is necessary to accommodate left and right handed users; some grinders also have third hole on the top. The preferred embodiment is threaded into one of the unused holes that is intended for the handle/paddle, thereby keeping the auxiliary parts with the grinder until they are required for use.
- The present invention is an apparatus designed to prevent the nut from becoming misplaced when its use is not required for the operation of an angle grinder. The present invention extends a material from the grinder for the nut to be placed on where it is held in place against a flange by being threaded onto the material or held in place by magnetic force. The nut that secures the abrasive with a center hole to the grinder are typically 1⅜-1¾″ inches in OD with a center boss that is typically 0.870 inch OD and extends about 1/16 inch of an inch beyond the flange surface of the nut. It is the purpose of this center boss to create a shoulder for the abrasive with a center hole to align itself upon and to transfer the rotating motion of the grinder to the abrasive. The preferred embodiment of this present invention makes use of a counter bore to receive the center boss of the nut. This enlarges the surface area that the nut attaches to the invention making it less likely for the nut to work its way lose due to vibration of the grinder during use.
- In the preferred embodiment the flange is attached to a short screw that attaches to the angle grinder where a handle/paddle would ordinarily be located. The nut is then secured to the flange by a thread that is the same size as the abhor of the grinder.
- In the magnetic embodiment the nut is secured to a center shaft and the flange by magnetic attraction.
- In the handle embodiment the nut is secured to the flange by a thread that extends out of the end of the handle that is attached to the angle grinder to increase the leverage of the user.
- Thread size M8 is the typical size threads used by manufacturers to attach the handle/paddle to the grinder, but other sizes exist. NC ⅝-11 is the typical size threads used by manufactures for the abhor of an angle grinder, but other sizes exist. The preferred embodiment makes use of these typical sizes but could be fitted with any size threads used by the manufacture.

It is chosen and described to best explain the invention so that others, skilled in the art to which the invention pertains, might utilize its teachings.
- Referring now to the drawings and to figure: The smaller threaded end, part 1, screws into the angle grinder where the paddle/handle is usually located. The nut screws on to the larger threaded
end part 4, and butts up against thebacking plates part 4 the boss of the nut seats in the lap joint created by the union ofparts - The preferred embodiment makes use of a counter bore that is created by the difference of the inside diameter dimension the two washers. This counter bore receives the boss that protrudes from the nut. When this happens the flange of the nut mates up with the flange of the preferred embodiment and increases the surface area that the two parts have in common.
- The second (magnetic) embodiment of the invention is similar in size and construction to the first. However, this one holds the nut in place with 3/16 diameter rare earth magnets (
Parts 5,6,7, and 8) rather than a threaded shaft. The embodiment attaches to the grinder with (Part 1) with a M8×1.25 allthread 20 mm long and has been welded into (Part 4) a 1/2 inch OD 1/16″ wall tube 1 3/16 inch long with the GTAW process. A flat washer (Part 2) is also welded with the GTAW process and attached at the base of the tube where the allthread is welded a 1 1/4 inch OD ½″ ID flat washer is welded to the tube. On the other side of (Part 2) this flat washer is another flat washer (part 3) 1¾″ OD 15/16″ ID. These two washers are welded together concentrically with the GTAW process. The flat washers (parts 3 and 4) are both bored with a 7/32 inch diameter hole at the locations shown on the drawings and receive (parts 5,6,7 and 8). Rare earth magnets were inserted into these holes and held in place with a two part resin epoxy. For this embodiment Epoxo 88-T10 was adjoining material. - The third embodiment submitted is a molded handle/paddle that is typical of those supplied by the manufactures of angle grinders at the time of purchase. The body of this handle/paddle (part 2) has been modified with a NC ⅝-11 piece of allthread (part 1) extending 3/4 of an inch from the outer edge of what would usually be the end of the handle/paddle. The handle/paddle is connected to the angle grinder by a M8×1.25×30 mm bolt (part 3) embedded into the molded body and extending 9/16 of an inch beyond. In this embodiment the nut is threaded onto the end of the handle/paddle that does not connect to the grinder (part 1). In this embodiment the handle is made of short strand fiberglass, fiberglass resin and the bolt and allthread are made of steel; but any suitable materials could be used.
- Remarks
- A substitute specification has been submitted Aug. 6, 2013 to make corrections required by the United States Patent Office. Paragraphs [0022.1] and [0022.2] were added and the description was better explained. The substitute specification contains no new matter. The substitute description contains no new matter.
