  • Patent number: 5779528
    Abstract: An elastomeric mount or band is provided for circumferential placement about a bonded abrasive segment of the type generally used to form a segmented grinding wheel assembly of a rotary surface grinder. The band serves to cushion the segment relative to a chuck of the grinder. The band is provided with a predetermined original or untensioned circumference and is elastically deformable or stretchable to a larger circumference within a predetermined range of circumferences. This ability to elastically deform facilitates installation onto the segment and enables a single band to be used in combination with segments of various size. The band is preferably installed over a segment having a circumference greater than the band's original circumference so that tension in the installed band serves to mechanically fasten the band in position thereon. This mechanical fastening enables a user to easily move the band to various locations on the segment as desired.
