For discharging dust, the driving means comprises a plurality of driving blades inclined to the rotational direction of the main body and having upper and lower surfaces, respectively, arranged to form interfaces of the dust discharge holes therebetween and inclined upward from a horizontal plane to generate the air driving force for discharging dust when the electric motor driven main body rotates. With this grinding wheel with drive blades, the dust generated during the grinding process is discharged to a dust collecting machine in order to reduce a distribution of the dust into the air. The provided in the main body Staubabführlöcher have no specially shaped edge areas, so that no aerodynamically favorable training the Schleifstaubabsaugdurchbrechungen is obtained in order to optimize the air flow with the grinding dust can.

Furthermore, it is known to flange at an angle grinder designed hand grinders on the housing, a suction with elastically deformable suction cuff. This suction housing is provided with an exhaust pipe from which a suction hose extends to the respective suction device. On the machine housing a laterally projecting handle is provided.

According to the document DE 40 32 069 A1 the handle is arranged at the same time serving as a suction housing protective housing for drive members of the sanding pad, hollow and connected to the cavity of the protective housing. The handle forms a discharge tube for the grinding dust, at the free end of the suction hose is fixed, which extends away from the handle of the hand grinder.

From the publication DE 21 45 714 A1 there is known a grinding tool of the type having a flexible interchangeable disc whose working surface is covered with an abrasive-adhesive mixture and the other side of which rests on a disc which is provided with a hub for application to the end of a high speed is provided rotating shaft.

The grinding wheel according to the publication DE 21 45 714 A1 has on its entire surface on a perforation forming holes, which communicate with the inside of the plate approximately radially extending channels and the other end opens to the outside.

The same or similar embodiments, elements or features are provided in FIGS. 1 to 6 with identical reference numerals.

FIGS. 2 to 6 show a sanding pad 100 which can be driven eccentrically by means of a hand grinder 200, which is designed in particular as an angle grinder. For this purpose, such a hand grinding machine 200 has a drive motor 204 with a preferably right-angled output shaft 202, by means of which the sanding pad 100 is driven in the way of the rotational drive (see Fig. 1).

On the housing of the hand grinder 200, a protective housing for the drive members of the sanding pad 100 can be fastened; This protective housing also serves as a suction housing for the grinding dust 300 resulting from grinding. Furthermore, a handle 208 is attached to the housing of the hand grinder 200, by means of which the hand grinder 200 can be held during the grinding process (see FIG.

The grinding sheet 80 effecting the actual grinding operation is held by means of a hook-and-loop fastener 70 on a cushion or pad 60 which is fixed on the surface 16 of the support plate 10 facing away from the hand grinding machine 200 (see FIG. Thus, the underside 16 (= the surface facing away from the grinding machine 200) is a contact surface for the pad or pad 60 and thus on the hook and loop fastener 70 also for the abrasive sheet 80.

As the illustration of FIGS. 2 to 6 can be removed, the sanding pad 100 has a z. B. made of metal support plate 10 with a total of eight openings (= eight Staubabsaugeöffnungen 20) over which the resulting grinding sanding dust 300 (possibly together with other fine impurities) can be sucked by means arranged in the hand grinder 200 suction bell 206; the actual hand grinder 200 is provided with suction devices (so-called suction bells or dangling bells 206) for the grinding dust.

As is apparent from the illustration of Fig. 2, facing away from the hand grinder 200 bottom 16 of the support plate 10 more (in the present embodiment: eight) air ducts 28 for the supply of the sucked sanding dust 300 to the openings 20 through which then the grinding dust 300 is withdrawn.

These channel guides 28 are essential for the air with the sanding dust 300 on the underside 16 of the support plate 10, because in this way the air flow or air flow passes unbroken and substantially unhindered in the openings 20th

The peculiarity of the sanding pad 100 according to FIGS. 2 to 6 consists in the fact that the apertures 20 in the support plate 10 of the sanding pad 100 are aerodynamically shaped; Thus, there is an aerodynamic shape for the Staubabsaugöffnungen (= openings 20), so that the air flow or air flow with the grinding dust 300 passes unbroken in the openings or openings 20 of the support plate 10.

The apertures 20 are formed approximately oval and extend from the center 12 of the support plate 10 radially to the peripheral edge 14 of the support plate 10 (see Fig. 3 to 6), wherein the openings 20 extend with its longitudinal center line 22 in approximately a circular arc (see FIGS. 5 and 6).

The illustration of Figs. 3 to 6 is further removed that each opening 20 extends in the direction of the center 12 of the support plate 10 away to the periphery 14 of the support plate 10 out, ie the distance between the first longitudinal side edge 24 of the opening 20 and the second longitudinal side edge 26 of the opening 20 is in the center 12 of the support plate 10 facing area smaller than in the peripheral edge 14 of the support plate 10 facing area.

Another feature essential to the invention is given by an oblique bevel of the longitudinal side edges 24, 26 of each opening 20. While the first longitudinal side edge 24 of the opening 20, which is barely detected by this air flow or air flow due to the direction of the air flow or air flow of the grinding dust 300, is almost vertical, ie. H. only very slightly ground or chamfered, the second long side edge 26 of the opening 20 strongly detected by the air flow or air flow of the grinding dust 300 is very sharpened or chamfered in order to provide the air flow or air flow of the grinding dust 300 as little resistance as possible, thus the air flow or air flow with the grinding dust 300 passes unbroken into the aerodynamically shaped openings or openings 20 of the support plate 10.

In principle, the openings 20 can be large or small. In the event that only one opening 20 (or, for example, an odd number of openings 20) is provided, the support plate 10 is to be balanced by attaching further masses. Essential to the invention is in any case the above-described aerodynamic design of the openings 20th

On the hand grinder 200 facing top 18 of the support plate 10 are radially extending stiffening webs 50 are provided, by means of which the pressure loads of the support plate 10 are collected. These eight stiffening webs 50 each extend approximately halfway into the area between each two openings or openings 20.

While FIGS. 3 and 4 show the upper side 18 of the support plate 10 facing the hand grinder 200, FIGS. 5 and 6 show the underside 16 of the support plate 10 facing away from the hand grinder 200.

On this underside 16 of the support plate 10, a total of eight projections 40 are arranged between each two openings 20; these raised, provided with recesses 42 projections 40 have the shape or contour of the gap between the openings 20 and serve for improved management of the sanding dust 300 containing air flow or air flow into the openings 20th

Furthermore, on the underside 16 of the support plate 10 and a raised, with recesses 32 and the openings 20 for collecting and accelerating the air flow or air flow of the grinding dust 300 spatially associated indentations 34 provided edge portion 30 is arranged, like the projections 40 for support and attachment of the pad or pad 60 serves.
