Diamond trowel blade

Abstract

A diamond trowel blade 20 comprises diamond particles that will attach to a power trowel for surface preparation of hardened concrete surfaces. The diamond trowel blade 20 includes a diamond bearing surface 22; a backing plate 24; an intermediate layer 28; and a mounting means 26 for attaching the trowel blade 20 to the power trowel. A method for mechanically preparing a concrete surface with a diamond trowel blade 20 attached to a power trowel including the surface preparing steps of: attaching the diamond trowel blade 20 with the power trowel; selecting the diamond trowel blade 20 with the appropriate grit for the concrete surface; directing the rotating diamond trowel blade 20 over the surface until the smoothness is attained for the particular grit in use; and repeating the steps of selecting, directing, and repeating until the user achieves the smoothness desired.

1 . A trowel blade with diamond particles that will attach with a power trowel for surface preparation of hardened concrete, the trowel blade comprising:
 the power trowel;   a diamond bearing surface for preparing a concrete surface;   a backing disc capable of receiving the diamond bearing surface; and   a mounting means attached with a top side of the backing disc for attaching the trowel blade with the power trowel;   wherein the diamond bearing surface is attached to a lower side of the backing disc and wherein the trowel blade is in combination with the power trowel.   
   
   
       2 . The trowel blade as set forth in  claim 1  wherein the mounting means comprises a round pan disc. 
   
   
       3 . The trowel blade as set forth in  claim 2  wherein the round pan disc further comprises sleeves on the top side of the round pan disc to slide over the trowel blades of the power trowel attaching the round pan disc with the power trowel. 
   
   
       4 . The trowel blade as set forth in  claim 1  wherein the power trowel comprises a rideable power trowel. 
   
   
       5 . The trowel blade as set forth in  claim 1  wherein the power trowel comprises a walk behind power trowel.
