Patent number: 6416396Abstract: A grinding apparatus for grinding away sharp edges on an end of a textile package having an inner edge and a spaced-apart outer edge formed on the end of the package. The apparatus has a base, a first grinding element mounted on the base for movement relative to the textile package and having a grinding surface with an angle oblique to the inner edge of the textile package for being urged against the inner edge of the textile package, and a second grinding element mounted on the base for movement relative to the textile package and having a grinding surface angle with an angle oblique to the outer edge of the textile package for being urged against the outer edge of the textile package. According to one preferred embodiment of the invention, a third grinding element is mounted on the base for movement relative to the textile package. The third grinding element has a grinding surface for engaging and grinding the end of the textile package between the inner and outer edges.Type: GrantFiled: March 1, 2001Date of Patent: July 9, 2002Assignee: Conitex-Sonoco LLCInventor: José A.
