Abstract: The present patent discloses an electric grinder, comprising a shell, a motor assembly, a grinding assembly and a dust cover. The motor assembly and grinding assembly are provided in the shell, and an opening is provided at one end of said shell. The dust cover comprises a cover and a counterweight part, and can open or close the opening of the shell under the gravity of the counterweight part. In the electric grinder provided by the present invention, when the opening of the grinder faces downward, the dust cover can open automatically. When the opening of the grinder faces upward, rotating the dust cover can close and engage with the opening of the dust cover automatically. Thus, the present invention prevents the feed opening of the electric grinder from being exposed to air when the user forgets to close the dust cover.

Abstract: An apparatus for treating metal wire by multiple reverse bending and associated methods for using the apparatus are disclosed. The first roller has a first roller diameter, is followed by N?1 intermediate rollers with intermediate roller diameters and ends with an exit roller with an exit roller diameter. The exit roller is larger than the first roller and any one roller in the sequence of rollers has a roller diameter that is not smaller than the preceding roller in the sequence. The progressively larger diameters impose a well-controlled, gradually decreasing curvature to the wire resulting in a cast controlled wire. By folding the wire path together, a compact arrangement is obtained accommodating the increasingly larger rollers. A method to operate the apparatus is also described that allows for an easy adjustment of the apparatus in function of wire thickness.
