Sanding disk tool

Abstract

A tool device suitable for use with a driver, the tool assembly being suitable for work operations such as grinding, polishing, sanding, finishing and the like, the tool device providing a disk shape of rigid or pliable material and a central driving spindle connectable to the driver, the disk being provided with a plurality of radial grooves and tendons therein to capture and present abrasive/polishing elements to a work piece, such radial tendons being permanently attached at one end but releasable from the other end for the purpose of loading and unloading the abrasive/polishing elements. The abrasive/polishing elements are prepared in such a way so as when presented to the work-piece a cushioning/cooling effect is achieved via the generous airflow through and around the elements.

1 . A sanding disk tool suitable for use with a driver, the tool assembly being suitable for work operations such as grinding, polishing, sanding, finishing and the like,
 the sanding disk tool providing a disk shape of rigid or pliable material and a central driving spindle connectable to the driver,   the disk being provided with a plurality of radial grooves and tendons therein to capture and present a multiplicity of resilient/flexible abrasive/polishing elements to a work piece, such radial tendons being permanently attached and rotatable at the outer perimeter, but releasable at their inner end for the purpose of loading and unloading the abrasive/polishing elements.   
   
   
       2 . A tool device according to  claim 1  wherein the tool device is suitable for use with a driver which includes a drilling machine including a motor, a drive spindle, and a drill chuck; the disk shaped body being operatively connectable to the drill chuck by the provided drive spindle. 
   
   
       3 . A tool device according to  claim 1  where the abrasive/polishing elements may be flexible tubular sleeves. 
   
   
       4 . A tool device according to  claim 1  where the abrasive/polishing elements may be flexible sheet material.
