Abstract
An edge sharpening device comprises an electric motor housed by a housing. A motor shaft extends from the electric motor and is rotatable by the electric motor about a rotation axis. The motor shaft is configured to secure an abrasive wheel. The housing comprises a housing base configured to secure a base adapter. The base adapter is configured to rest on a surface of a material comprising an edge to enable the abrasive wheel to contact the edge. The housing also comprises a battery mount configured to secure a battery for powering the electric motor. A longitudinal axis of the housing base, a longitudinal axis of the battery mount, and the rotation axis of the electric motor are arranged on a median plane of the edge sharpening device.
Claims16
An edge sharpening device, comprising:
- an electric motor housed by a housing, wherein a motor shaft extends from the electric motor and is rotatable by the electric motor about a rotation axis, the motor shaft being configured to secure an abrasive wheel, the housing comprising:
- a housing base configured to secure a base adapter, the base adapter being configured to rest on a surface of a material comprising an edge to enable the abrasive wheel to contact the edge;
- and
- a battery mount configured to secure a battery for powering the electric motor, wherein, when the base adapter rests on the surface of the material and the abrasive wheel contacts the edge, (i) a center of gravity of the edge sharpening device is positioned on a median plane of the edge sharpening device, the median plane being vertically oriented and vertically aligned with a portion of the surface in contact with the base adapter and (ii) the housing base, the electric motor, and the battery mount form a vertical arrangement over the surface of the material comprising the edge.
An edge sharpening device, comprising:
- an electric motor housed by a housing, wherein a motor shaft extends from the electric motor and is rotatable by the electric motor about a rotation axis, the motor shaft being configured to secure an abrasive wheel, the housing comprising:
- a housing base configured to secure a base adapter, the base adapter being configured to rest on a surface of a material comprising an edge to enable the abrasive wheel to contact the edge;
- and
- a battery mount configured to secure a battery for powering the electric motor, wherein, when the base adapter rests on the surface of the material and the abrasive wheel contacts the edge, the housing base, the electric motor, and the battery mount form a vertical arrangement such that each of the housing base, the electric motor, and the battery mount is positioned on a median plane of the edge sharpening device, the median plane being vertically oriented and vertically aligned with a portion of the surface in contact with the base adapter.
A ski sharpening device, comprising:
- an electric motor housed by a housing, wherein a motor shaft extends from the electric motor and is rotatable by the electric motor about a rotation axis, the motor shaft being configured to secure an abrasive wheel, the housing comprising:
- a housing base configured to secure a base adapter, the base adapter being configured to rest on a surface of a ski base comprising a side bevel to enable the abrasive wheel to contact the side bevel;
- and
- a battery mount configured to secure a battery for powering the electric motor, wherein, when the base adapter rests on the surface of the ski base and the abrasive wheel contacts the side bevel, a center of gravity of the ski sharpening device and a center of gravity of the battery are each positioned along a direction of gravitational force above a portion of the surface of the ski base in contact with the base adapter.
