Abstract
A split abrasive roll is provided, including cooperative engaging members (3) disposed on both the rotatable shaft (2) of an abrasive machine and the inner surface of the roll member. The cooperative engaging members affix the center portion of the split abrasive roll to the shaft, while preserving a uniform abrasive outer surface. The respective ends (3b) of each of the roll members are also retained, and the split abrasive roll so provided tends to overcome the deficiencies in the split abrasive rolls of the prior art.

A split abrasive roll for attachment to a rotatable shaft (2), comprising:
- (a) at least two abrasive roll members (3) each having an abrasive outer surface (3a) and an inner surface, wherein the roll members are adapted to cooperatively form a generally cylindrical split abrasive roll, and said inner surfaces are adapted to form a central shaft receiving portion, said abrasive roll members each having first and second ends (3b);
- (b) a cooperative engaging member disposed on the inner surface of each of said at least two roll members between said first and second ends;
- (c) a cooperative engaging member disposed on the rotatable shaft corresponding to each of said cooperative engaging members disposed on said roll members;
- and
- (d) means for affixing the respective first and second ends of the roll portions to the shaft;
