Support accessory for power hand tool

Abstract

An accessory for a power hand tool including a rolling support structure for supporting and carrying the hand tool over a substrate at a user-selected or preselected working depth or height of the disc grinder or sander or similar material processor is disclosed. The accessory includes a support bracket having a longitudinal axis for attachment to a portion of the housing at an intermediate position of the support bracket, together with a pair of substrate-surface engaging rollers adjustably secured to the support bracket at mounting locations longitudinally separated from the intermediate attachment position. For a power hand tool having a housing including a cylindrical outer surface portion coaxially aligned with the drive shaft of the power tool, the attachment portion of the accessory includes a corresponding concavity for being installed about the cylindrical portion of the housing in nesting relationship with a clearance fit therebetween to allow for angular adjustment therebetween.
