Grinding device

Abstract

A grinding device includes a support element and a preferably flexible grinding element held thereon. A carrier rests against the support element. A grinding layer is designed in such a way that in a grinding position, the grinding element is held on the support element in a frictionally locking manner.

         7 . A grinding device, comprising:
 a support element;   a flexible grinding means held on the support element, wherein the grinding means consisting of a carrier, which bears against a closed surface of the support element, and a grinding layer,   wherein a surface of the carrier facing towards the support element is structured and is held against the support element by frictional engagement across an entire surface of the support element in a grinding position, and   wherein a coefficient of friction of the support element and grinding means is between 0.2 and 0.5.   
     
     
         8 . The grinding device of  claim 7 , wherein a friction force generated by pressing the support element against the grinding means is between 0.5 and 2.0 N/mm 2 . 
     
     
         9 . The grinding device of  claim 7 , wherein the side of the carrier facing towards the support element is made of a polymer, an elastomer, or leather. 
     
     
         10 . The grinding device of  claim 7 , wherein a thickness of the carrier on the side facing towards the support element is between 0.7 and 4 mm. 
     
     
         11 . The grinding device of  claim 7 , wherein the surface of the carrier facing towards the support element is made of a foam. 
     
     
         12 . The grinding device of  claim 7 , wherein the grinding means is a grinding belt.
