Abstract
Abstract The specification discloses a work rest for grinders constructed so as to reduce the intensity of noise generated when grinding a metal object on the grinder wheel. The work rest comprises an upper metal plate, a lower metal plate, and a relatively thin intervening sheet of energy absorbing material, all tightly secured together. A mounting spindle fits into a central hole in the lower plate and is welded thereto.

Claim 7
Dependent Claim
97 words
A grinding wheel work rest comprising: a. an upper plate; b. a lower plate with a central circular hole therethrough; c. a sheet of energy absorbing material therebetween; d. screw means for holding the plates and sheet snugly together; and e. a spindle secured centrally to the lower plate by which to mount the work rest, the spindle is of circular cross-section snugly fitting the hole but out of contact with the intervening sheet, the spindle is secured to the lower plate by a circular weld inside the hole and by a circular weld outside the hole.
