Patent number: 10828744Abstract: A brush-like grinding stone (3) in a polishing brush (1) includes a brush holder (6) and a linear member aggregate (7) detachably held in the brush holder (6). The linear member aggregate (7) includes a large number of bundles (51) of the linear members (50) obtained by hardening aggregated yarn of inorganic filaments impregnated with a resin, and a brush holder (70) holding ends of the bundles (51). A linear member holder (70) in the linear member aggregate (7) is detachably attached to each of a plurality of holding holes (68) that is open in one side in an axial line direction L. In a case where any of the linear member aggregates has a failure, such as breakage, only the failed linear member aggregate needs to be replaced. Thus, it is not necessary to discard the entire brush-like grinding stone. Consequently, the polishing cost can be reduced.Type: GrantFiled: March 20, 2018Date of Patent: November 10, 2020Assignees: TAIMEI CHEMICALS CO., LTD., XEBEC TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD.Inventors: Suguru Matsushita, Norihiko Sumiyoshi

Publication number: 20180304444Abstract: A polishing brush (1) includes grinding element bundles (22) each including wire-shaped grinding elements (21) formed of an assembly of inorganic filaments impregnated and solidified with resin, and a grinding element holder (23) that holds the grinding element bundles (22). The grinding element holder (23) has an annular grinding element holding groove (28), and an adhesive (29) is filled in the grinding element holding groove (28). Respective base end portions (22a) of the grinding element bundles (22) are inserted in the grinding element holding groove (28) in such a state as to be kept apart from each other and are fixed to the grinding element holder (23) with the adhesive (29). Even when the diameter size or the like of each grinding element bundle (22) is larger than the width of the groove, the grinding element bundles (22) are deformed to conform to the groove, thereby being inserted into the groove.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 27, 2014Publication date: October 25, 2018Inventors: Suguru MATSUSHITA, Norihiko SUMIYOSHI

Patent number: 7434289Abstract: In the manufacture of a brush-shaped grindstone (3), embedding holes (310) are formed in a grinding element holding surface (311) of a holder (31) in mutually separated positions. A base end side of a plurality of wire-shaped grinding elements (32), formed such that a composite yarn composed of inorganic filaments is impregnated and hardened with a resin, is aligned, and rod assemblies (320) are thereafter formed by fixing the base end side of the plurality of wire-shaped grinding elements (32) with adhesive (71) in holes (60) of a die material (6), which is formed to have substantially the same size as the embedding holes (310) of the holder (31). The rod assemblies (320) are thereafter embedded in the embedding holes (310) of the holder (32), and fixed with adhesive (72). Whereby, removing burrs from a precision work component, performing polishing, and the like can be carried out with good efficiency and high precision.Type: GrantFiled: July 11, 2003Date of Patent: October 14, 2008Assignees: XEBEC Technology Co.
