Abstract: A rotary tool for the erasure-type abrading of adhesive residues and foil, in particular, from lacquered metal surfaces has an outer tooth crown of rubber or an elastomeric synthetic resin, the teeth being bendable. The tooth disk is mounted on a disk-shaped holder which is rotatably driven and is coupled to the latter by an inner crown.

Abstract: A rotatable brush can have its steel bristles anchored in an endless bendable band which fits on a spacer sleeve of a holder bridging two end disks thereof. The disks can have axial ribs which are spaced from the sleeve and pass through gaps in the bristles. On these ribs or the spacer at least one axial groove is provided in which a key of the band is engaged. The key can be a clip or staple holding the ends of the band together.

Abstract: A handbrush for upholstery and carpets can have its brush body formed with at least one elastically bendable bristle band colinear with a handle and provided with bristles which can project forwardly on the band.

Abstract: A brush assembly adapted to be rotated about an axis has a brush having a flexible, annular and generally cylindrical collar generally centered on the axis and having a predetermined and generally uniform radial thickness, a predetermined inside diameter, and a predetermined axial length, and a plurality of arrays of radially projecting bristles angularly equispaced about the collar and defining a plurality of axially throughgoing and angularly equispaced bristle-free zones.

Abstract: A brush assembly adapted to be rotated about an axis has a brush having a flexible, annular and generally cylindrical collar generally centered on the axis and having a predetermined and generally uniform radial thickness, a predetermined inside diameter, and a predetermined axial length, and a plurality of arrays of radially projecting bristles angularly equispaced about the collar and defining a plurality of axially throughgoing and angularly equispaced bristle-free zones. A holder drum has a core having an outer surface centered on the axis and having a predetermined outside diameter substantially smaller than the inside diameter of the collar, inner and outer end flanges axially flanking the core paced axially apart by a predetermined axial distance greater than the axial length of the collar so that the collar is received with axial play between the flanges, and respective retaining tongues extending axially between the flanges in the bristle-free zones of the brush.

Abstract: A rotatively driveable tool chucking device with at least two chucking disks and a common tightening screw for chucking a tool sleeve between the two chucking disks. The chucking disks have concentric annular grooves for chucking tool sleeves with essentially the same diameter. When the sleeves are of flexible material, they are rotationally stabilized about the central axis of rotation, without requiring a rubber core or similar support body. This stabilization maintains the sleeves always in cylindrical shape.
