Abstract
Abstract IN A FLOOR GRINDER, A MOTOR DRIVES A HOLLOW VERTICAL SHAFT. A LOWER SHAFT TELESCOPES INTO THE HOLLOW SHAFT, IS SPRING LOADED DOWNWARD, AND HAS A GRINDING PLATE FIXED TO ITS LOWER PROJECTING END. THE HOLLOW SHAFT HAS AT LEAST ONE SPIRAL DRUM CAM CUTOUT FORMED IN IT AND THE LOWER SHAFT HAS A CAM FOLLOWER EXTENDING INTO THE DRUM CAM CUTOUT SO THAT EXCESSIVE TORQUE IMPOSED BY FRICTIONAL RESISTANCE ENCOUNTERED BY THE GRINDING PLATE CAUSES THE DRUM CAM CUTOUT TO RAISE THE CAM FOLLOWER AND THE LOWER SHAFT AND LIFT THE GRINDING PLATE THEREBY LIMITING TORQUE.
