Definitions

  • a portable surface-treating tool including a drum which is driven rotatively by a motor, and is mounted for its desired rotation relative to a body of the tool by bearings located at opposite ends of the drum, and which carries a sheet of sandpaper or other surface treating material about the drum for contacting a work surface.
  • the sandpaper sheet is desirably of a length to extend approximately one complete turn about the drum and is secured to the drum in a manner enabling removal and replacement of the sandpaper without partial or complete detachment of the drum or its bearings from the body of the tool.
  • the invention relates generally to portable surface-treating tools, such as sanders and other abrading tools, polishing units, and the like.
  • portable surface-treating tools such as sanders and other abrading tools, polishing units, and the like.
  • the invention will typically be described primarily as applied to sanding tools, though the broader applicability of the invention to polishers, etc. will be apparent without further elaboration.
  • drum-type sanding devices have been proposed in the past in which an elongated strip of sandpaper has been wound in roll form within the interior of a hollow drurn structure and an end portion of that strip has then been pulled out through a slit in the periphery of the drum to extend about it for contact with a work surface.
  • This arrangement has had various disadvantages, including the requirement that a user have access to the interior of the drum for initially connecting the strip thereto, and including excessive complexity in cost of the drum structure, the difficulty of giving to the hollow drum and its related parts adequate structural strength to withstand the forces encountered in use, excessive cost of the specially formed wound strip form abrasive material, and other similar disadvantages.
  • the present invention provides a unique drum-type portable sanderor the like in which removal and replacement of the sandpaper or other surface-treating material is extremely simple and can be attained without requirement for dismantling any of the bearings or other drum-mounting portions of the tool.
  • the tool is designed to utilize as the surfacetreating material sandpaper or other sheet material in its most basic and least expensive form, that is, in the form of conventional preferably standard size rectangular flat sheets of such material. These sheets can be attached to the drum rapidly and positively while the tool remains fully assembled, and without the complexities and problems inherent in use of the above discussed previously devised types of drum sanders.
  • the abrasive material or other surface-treating sheet material is desirably dimensioned to extend about the drum through approximately one single complete turn, and to have opposite end edges of the sheet received close together at a predetermined side of the drum.
  • means are provided for retaining both of these edges of the sandpaper to the drum to hold the paper in its active position of extension about the drum.
  • One of the end edges may be secured by a clamping mechanism, which. tightly grips the material and holds it in fixed position until released.
  • This clamping mechanism may be located within a recess or groove formed in the periphery ofthe drum, and may include a clamping element actuable by one or more fasteners, such as suitable screws or other threaded elements.
  • the second end of the sheet material is secured to the drum by an adhesive substance, with the extremity of the second end preferably extending across the mentioned recess in the drum and slightly circularly overlapping the first mentioned end of the paper, to present a circularly complete "outer work contacting surface.
  • the body of the tool may carry the driving motor at one'end of the rotating drum or roller, and may include a shroud extending about one side of the drum-and leaving the other side of any of that air toward or past the work surface, to thusavoid blowing of any abraded work material, .dust,

  • FIG. 1 a portable drum-type sander constructed in accordance with the invention, and including a main rigid body structure 11 to which there is mounted rotatively a drum or roller 12 which turns about an axis 13.
  • the drum is driven by a motor 1.4, and the tool is held and manipulated by two handles 15 and 16,
  • the body 11 of the tool includes a hollow rigid housing 17 within which the mentioned motor 14 is carried, and includes also an elongated shroud 18 secured to and projectingfrom housing 17 and extending about the upper side of the drum.
  • Housing 17 may be approximately circular in vertical section, and has the first handle 15 mounted to its upper side as shown.
  • handle 15 may be a [loop type handle, havoperates a switch or valve 25, or the like, for controlling the. delivery of electric or pneumatic power from a supply line 26- to motor 14.
  • motor 14 is an electric motor, in which event unit 25 is an electrical switch acting to close the circuit to the motor from supply line 26 upon actuation of the trigger.
  • the motor 14 has a driven shaft 27 mounted by bearings 28 to turn about an axis 29 which in the FIG. 3 orientation of the tool is disposed horizontally.
  • This rotary shaft acts through a reduction gear assembly 30 to drive an. output shaft 31 rotatively at a reduced rate of speed about the previously. mentioned main axis 13, which main axis is parallel to axis 29 and like it disposed horizontally in the FIG. 3 normal orientation of the tool.
  • the reduction gear assembly 30 may include a first pinion gear '33 mounted to and turning with motor shaft 27, and a second and larger pinion gear 34 meshing with and driven by gear 33 and mounted rigidly to shaft 31 to drive it.
  • the reduction gears are contained within a forward portion of the previously mentioned motor housing 17, and the output shaft 31 is mounted to that housing for rotation about axis 13 by appropriate bearingstypically represented at 35 and 36 in FIG. 3.
  • Drum 12 is driven rotatively by reduced speed shaft 31, and carries about its periphery a sheet of sandpaper or other surface-treating material 37, for contacting and abrading or otherwise treating a work surface 38'.
  • This work surface may for example be a contoured portion of an automobile body, which is being sanded in preparation for repainting.
  • the drum 12 has an inner rigid drum body 38 which may be formed as an extrusion having along its entire length the cross-sectional configuration illustrated in FIG. 7.
  • the drum body 38 is formed of an appropriate aluminum alloy having sufficient strength to withstand the forces encountered in use, and yet having a minimum of weight.
  • the extrusion forming body To define the cross section of FIG. 7 somewhat more specifically, the extrusion forming body.
  • the drum or roller may have an outer essentially circular peripheral portion 39 presenting an external straight cylindrical outer surface 40 centered about and elongated in the direction of horizontal axis 13.
  • This outer portion 39 of the drum is connected to an inner essentially cylindrical and tubular hub portion 41 by a number of radially extending webs 42, 43, and 44, the'latter of which may be thicker than the other two to contain mechanism fol-gripping an edge of the sandpaper sheet 37.
  • the weight of the thicker web 44 and its related parts is counterbalanced by an axially extending lug or enlargement 145 at adiametrically opposite location in the drum. and in' a relation such that the entire drum and its carried sandpaper and all of the later-to-be-described parts which turn with the drum are precisely balanced rotativcly about axis 13.
  • thedrum body 38 may carry about its periphery a cylindrical cushion 45 which may be formed of rubber or other cushioning material, and which has its inner surface 46 cemented securely and continuously to the outer surface of portion 39 of the drum.
  • the outer surface 47 of cushioning element 45 is substantially cylindrical about axis 13, but may be slightly irregularized.
  • the sheet of surface-treating material 37 may be a conventional rectangular standard size sheet of sandpaper, typically 9 inches by l 1 inches. having a first dimension which is equal to the axial length of drum 12, to extend along the entire axial length of the drum, and having a second dimension which is approximately equal to the circumference of the drum, to extend circularly entirely about the drum. More specifically, the second mentioned dimension of the sheet of sandpaper should preferably be just sufficiently greater than the circumference of the outer surface 47 of the drum cushion to allow for extension of one end edge 50 of the sheet into a recess or groove 48 in the drum, and to allow for slight circular overlapping of the other edge at 49. These two edges 49 and 50 of the sheet of sandpaper extend parallel to axis 13 of the drum in the P10. 7 condition of use of the apparatus.
  • the groove 48 in the drum is of uniform cross section along the entire length of the drum, which cross section is brought out beat in FIG. 9.
  • the groove has a narrow radially extending portion 51 which extends inwardly through an interruption in the outer cushion 45, and into the thickened radial web portion 44 of the aluminum body of the drum to communicate at its radially inner end with an enlarged portion 52 of the recess or groove.
  • an axially elongated rigid clamping tube 53 which extends the entire length of the drum and groove, and which is actuable from the tion of one end of the sandpaper against a curved sidewall 54 of the recess or groove.
  • Tube 53 is externally cylindrical along its entire length. and has a curvature corresponding to that of the curved sidewall portion 54, so that the paper is tightly clamped in a curving condition acting to very effectively retain that edge of the paper inthe groove and against separation from the roller.
  • the tube is normally yicldingly urged or biased to its full line retracted position of FIG. 9 by two wire springs 55 located at opposite ends of the drum.
  • Each of these springs extends partially about an axially projecting end portion 56 of the drum, and may be received within and located by an annular groove 57in that portion 56, and has a first turned end 58 engaging one of the webs 43 of the drum, and a second end 58' turned axially and projecting axially into an end of tube 53 to urge that tube rightwardly in FIG. 9 to the full line position.
  • the tube 53 is actuable leftwardly in FIG.
  • the second end of the sandpaper sheet, near its edge 49, is preferably secured to the drum by provision of a tacky adhesive material 61 on the cushion 45 at the location illustrated in FIG. 7, and preferably extending along the entire axial length of that edge of the cushion.
  • This adhesive material may be any suitable substance capable of tightly but releaseably' retaining a sheet of sandpaper, such as for example a suitable feather edging cement, that is, a nonhardening permanently tacky contact cement capable of tightly retaining a sheet of sandpaper and yet permitting the paper to be stripped from the adhesive and from cushion 45 for replacement.
  • a suitable feather edging cement that is, a nonhardening permanently tacky contact cement capable of tightly retaining a sheet of sandpaper and yet permitting the paper to be stripped from the adhesive and from cushion 45 for replacement.
  • One such feather edging cement on the market is that sold as '3-M Feather Edging Cement" by Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Company.
  • the drum 12 may be mounted for rotation about axis 13 by a needle bearing 70 which is frictionally held within the left end of passage 67, and into which there projects an externally cylindrical stub shaft 71 carried by an end wall 72 of shroud 18.
  • this stub shaft 71 has a close rotary fit with the needle bearing 70 and is aligned with axis 13.
  • the shroud 18 extends approximately semicircularly about the upper half of the drum 12 in radially spaced relation thereto, to enclose the upper half of the drum and leave only its lower portion accessible for contact with a work surface.
  • the shroud tapers progressively to a reduced diameter as it advances axially outwardly from the location of handle to the transverse end wall 72.
  • the shroud terminates downwardly in a pair of parallel bottom edges 73 which are disposed parallel to axis 13 and are parallel to and spaced above the plane of work surface 38.
  • the shroud is secured to housing 17 of the motor and reduction gear assembly by a plurality of screws 74, typically two such screws at each side of handle 15.
  • These screws may extend into radially outwardly projecting bosses or lugs 75 formed on and integral with the housing 17, so that a right edge portion 76 of the shroud is received in radially spaced relation to an adjacent or opposed portion 77 of the outer surface of the motor housing (FIGS. 10 and 11), to define two spaces 78 at opposite sides of the handle and radially between the housing and shroud into' which motor cooling air from within housing 17 may flow upon leaving the housing through apertures 79 in the wall of the housing.
  • This air enters the housing through an appropriate inlet 80 (FIG. 3), and then after flowing past the motor to cool it leaves the housing through openings 79 to enter one of the spaces 78 at opposite sides of the handle 15, and then flow rightwardly in FIG.
  • housing 17 has a portion 81 (FIG. 11) which projects radially outwardly beyond the level of its previously mentioned portion 77, to contact the shroud and form an arcuate seal between the shroud and housing along the entire semicircular extent of the shroud between edges 73, with this seal functioning to prevent any movement of air leftwardly or rightwardly past the location 81 in FIG. 3.
  • the entire circulation of motor cooling air is confined at the right side of the portion 81, to prevent this air from picking up or disturbing any of the abraded particles from the workpiece in the vicinity of the sandpaper or drum.
  • the wall 72 at the left end of the shroud may extend directly vertically or transversely of axis 13, and may have the stub shaft 71 secured rigidly thereto in any suitable manner, as by welding.
  • Wall 72 preferably extends downwardly somewhat beyond the level of the two side edges 73 of the shroud, and may have a bottom semicircular edge 82 following generally the curvature of the drum, but of a diameter less than the periphery of the drum to avoid contact with the work surface.
  • Handle 16 is designed to project laterally with respect to axis 13 of the drum in either the leftward direction indicated by the full line position of FIG. I, or the rightward position represented in broken lines, to thus allow use of the device by either right-handed or left-handed persons.
  • the handle 16 is mounted pivotally as shown in FIG. 6.
  • the handle has a mounting portion 83 containing a passage 84 receiving a vertically extending mounting shaft or pin 85 connected at its lower end to an upwardly deformed portion 86 of the top wall of shroud 18.
  • the shaft or pin 85 may be appropriately welded or otherwise secured to the shroud, and has an upper threaded portion to which a nut 87 is connected to hold the mounting portion 83 of the handle between a pair of washers 88 in a manner confining the handle for only the desired swinging or pivotal movement between the two positions of FIG. 1.
  • Nut 87 is a high-friction locknut which may be adjusted to lock the handle in any set position, or to offer a desired amount of frictional resistance to move ment of the handle.
  • an operator In preparing the tool of the figures for use, an operator first releases the two screws 59 of FIGS. 7, 8 and 9 to a conditioncnabling retraction of clamping tube 53 to the full line posi-- tion of FIG. 9 by springs 55.
  • the first edge of a sheet of sandpaper is then inserted into groove 48 in the position illustrated in FIG. 9, following which screws 59 are tightened to actuate clamping tube 53 to the broken line position of that figure, to thus tightly clamp and retain that edge of the paper in the groove.
  • the paper is then pulled tightly about the drum and moved into contact with adhesive 61 near the opposite end of the sheet of paper, to thus hold the sheet in fixed position on the drum.
  • a user may then grasp the two handles 15 and 16 in his two hands, and actuate trigger 24 to commence operation of the motor 14, and thereby commence rotation of the drum and carried sandpaper.
  • the rotating drum is brought into contact with work surface 38' in FIG. 3, and performs an abrading operation thereon.
  • the direction of rotation of the drum is in a clockwise direction as seen in FIGS. 7 and 9, so that the edge of the paper which is retained by the clamping structure is the circularly leading edge, and the overlapping edge 49 is the trailing edge.
