Patent number: 6638144Abstract: A method of polishing and cleaning a glass surface with a single abrasive article. The abrasive article includes ceria abrasive particles dispersed in binder, the abrasive article having a textured, three-dimensional abrasive coating. The method includes contacting the glass surface with the abrasive article at a desired pressure and in the presence of water, and moving the abrasive article and glass in relation to each other under pressure. The water is believed to mediate a chemical reaction involving the ceria and the glass, thereby leaving a haze on the glass surface. With continued motion of the abrasive article in relation to the glass workpiece, without the addition of additional water, the haze is removed.Type: GrantFiled: March 26, 2001Date of Patent: October 28, 2003Assignee: 3M Innovative Properties CompanyInventors: Bruce A. Sventek, Craig F. Lamphere, Timothy L. Graf, John L. Barry

Patent number: 5962102Abstract: A back-up pad for supporting an abrasive article having projecting hooking stems. The back-up pad includes a support member and an engaging means provided on a major surface of the support member for releasable engaging the hooking stems of the abrasive article. The engaging means includes a substrate having a first surface, a second surface, a plurality of loops projecting from the first surface, and an adhesive applied to the second surface. The plurality of loops comprise a continuous strand, the strand including a plurality of loop portions projecting through the substrate from the second side to the first side to thereby form the loops, and a plurality of connecting portions between the loop portions. The substrate is located between the loop portions and connection portions of the strand, and the adhesive adheres the connecting portions of the strand to the second surface of the substrate. Also disclosed is an engaging means for use with a back-up pad, and a method of stitching the engaging means.Type: GrantFiled: November 26, 1997Date of Patent: October 5, 1999Assignee: 3M Innovative Properties CompanyInventors: William F. Sheffield, John L. Barry, David F. Slama
