Abrasive material, accessories for a tool containing such abrasive material and method of manufacturing such abrasive material

Abstract

Abrasive material, characterised in that the abrasive material ( 1 ) includes a double layer of fabric ( 2 ) with connection ( 3 ) cut in the middle to form hairs ( 4 ) or fibres ( 4 ) on the first side ( 5 ) of the abrasive material ( 1 ), where the hairs ( 4 ) are post-treated so that the shape of the hairs ( 4 ) is permanently changed, and where the hairs ( 4 ) are equipped with abrasive particles ( 8 ).

1 - 16 . (canceled) 
     
     
         17 . An abrasive material comprising a double-layered fabric having a wired connection cut in a middle of the double-layered fabric to form hairs or fibers on a first side of the abrasive material, wherein:
 the wires are composite wires with multiple hairs or fibers;   the wires that form the connection in the double-layer tissue are connected by a W-connection to the layers of the double-layer tissue;   the hairs are post-treated so that a shape of the hairs is permanently changed; and   the hairs are equipped with abrasive particles.   
     
     
         18 . The abrasive material of  claim 17 , wherein the wires are composite wires with fibers of a rigid plastic. 
     
     
         19 . The abrasive material of  claim 18 , wherein the rigid plastic comprises nylon. 
     
     
         20 . The abrasive material of  claim 17 , wherein the abrasive particles are attached to the hairs or fibers with a binder. 
     
     
         21 . The abrasive material of  claim 17 , wherein the hairs or fibers have a curly shape, a round spiral shape, an angular spiral shape, or a zigzag shape. 
     
     
         22 . The abrasive material of  claim 17 , wherein the hairs or fibers extend in multiple directions in an upright space on a second side of the abrasive material opposite the first side. 
     
     
         23 . The abrasive material of  claim 17 , wherein at least part of the hairs or fibers is directed at an angle from 45° to 135° relative to the first side of the abrasive material. 
     
     
         24 . The abrasive material of  claim 17 , further comprising a layer of a nonwoven or textile applied on a second side of the abrasive material opposite the first side. 
     
     
         25 . The abrasive material of  claim 17 , wherein a length (L) of the hairs or fibers is from 3 millimetres to 80 millimetres. 
     
     
         26 . The abrasive material of  claim 17 , wherein the double-layer fabric is fitted with a weft yarn of bouclé yarn. 
     
     
         27 . The abrasive material of  claim 17 , wherein the hairs or fibers are grouped in brush rows. 
     
     
         28 . The abrasive material of  claim 17 , wherein the hairs or fibers are made of a heat- resistant material. 
     
     
         29 . A method of manufacturing of an abrasive material, the method comprising:
 (A) providing a connection to a double layer fabric;   (B) cutting the connection to form hairs or fibers on a first side of the abrasive material;   (C) treating the hairs or fibers so that a shape of the hairs is changed; and   (D) applying abrasive particles to the hairs.   
     
     
         30 . The method of  claim 29 , further comprising, after (C) applying a layer of a nonwoven or textile onto a second side of the abrasive material opposite the first side. 
     
     
         31 . The method of  claim 29 , wherein (D) further comprises applying a binder to the hairs to attach the abrasive particles to the hairs. 
     
     
         32 . The method of  claim 29 , further comprising:
 (E) thermally compressing the abrasive material obtained after (D).   
     
     
         33 . An accessory comprising an abrasive material according to  claim 17 , the accessory having a three-dimensional design. 
     
     
         34 . The accessory of  claim 33 , wherein:
 the accessory is selected from an abrasive brush pad, cleaning pad, a sanding pad, a polishing pad, or a roller brush; and   the accessory is fitted with a sanding surface or a polishing surface.
