Abstract
An abrasion tool that is selectively configurable for spin or random-orbit without the need for a reversible motor.
Claims4
An abrasion tool selectively capable of spin or random-orbit motion with a non-reversible motor.
An abrasion tool selectively capable of spin or random-orbit motion with a non-reversible motor comprising:
- (a) a first collar with a first offset;
- and
- (b) a second collar with a second offset, said second collar rotationally connected to said first collar to allow canceling or adding said offsets;
- and
- (c) a sanding plate;
- and
- (d) means to selectively couple said collars to said sanding plate.

- (a) an upper collar comprising;
- (i) a shaft attachment with a first centerline;
- (ii) a first hub attachment with a second centerline offset from said first centerline by a distance x;
- and
- (iii) a first counterweight
- (b) a lower collar comprising;
- (i) a second hub attachment having a third centerline, said second hub rotationally connected to said first hub attachment;
- (ii) a bearing attachment with a fourth centerline offset from said third centerline by said distance x;
- and
- (iii) a second counterweight;
- (c) a sanding plate rotationally connected to said bearing attachment;
- (d) a pin selectively capable of coupling said collars to said sanding plate.
