Abstract
A shaft sanding device including a main housing. A motor is secured within the main housing. The motor is coupled with a power source. A drive roller is secured within the main housing. The drive roller has a drive arm extending outwardly therefrom to couple with the motor. A first idle roller is secured within the main housing opposed from the drive roller. In association with the first idle roller is a second idle roller having a resilient arm rotatably coupled therewith. The resilient arm is pivotally coupled to the main housing adjacent to the motor secured therein. The resilient arm biases the second idle roller away from the main housing. A sand paper belt is disposed around the drive roller, the first idle roller, and the second idle roller.
Claims3
A shaft sanding device for engaging a circular object to be sanded comprising, in combination:
- a main housing comprised of a receiving chamber, the main housing having opposed end portions with a handle portion disposed thereon;
- a motor secured within the receiving chamber of the main housing, the motor having a pair of power switches electrically coupled therewith, the pair of power switches disposed within the handle portions in the opposed portions of the main housing, the motor having means for coupling with a power source;
- a drive roller secured within the receiving chamber of the main housing, the drive roller having a drive arm extending outwardly therefrom to couple with the motor;
- a first idle roller secured within the receiving chamber of the main housing opposed from the drive roller, the first idle roller having a diameter equal to a diameter of the drive roller;
- a second idle roller having a resilient arm rotatably coupled therewith, the second idle roller having a diameter equal to the diameter of the first idle roller and the drive roller, the resilient arm pivotally coupled to the receiving chamber of the main housing adjacent to the motor secured therein, the resilient arm biasing the second idle roller away from the main housing;
- a dust guard removably secured to the resilient arm disposed over the second idle roller;
- a sand paper belt disposed around the drive roller, the first idle roller, and the second idle roller;
- and
- a limit switch secured within the receiving chamber of the main housing intermediate the drive roller and the first idle roller, the limit switch cooperating with either of the pair of power switches for activation of the motor, the limit switch having a switch portion extending downwardly therefrom corresponding with a distal arc of the drive roller and the first idle roller.
A shaft sanding device comprising:

- a drive roller secured within the main housing, the drive roller having a drive arm extending outwardly therefrom to couple with the motor;
- a first idle roller secured within the main housing opposed from the drive roller;
- a second idle roller having a resilient arm rotatably coupled therewith, the resilient arm pivotally coupled to the main housing adjacent to the motor secured therein, the resilient arm biasing the second idle roller away from the main housing;
- a sand paper belt disposed around the drive roller, the first idle roller, and the second idle roller;
- and
- a dust guard removably secured to the resilient arm disposed over the second idle roller.
