A nonwoven fabric polishing roll having a through hole into which a rotating shaft of a polishing machine is inserted, that includes a polishing portion formed by stacking a plurality of circular nonwoven fabrics having an aperture that forms the through hole; and two circular support plates located one at each of both ends in the stacking direction of the polishing portion, having an aperture that forms the through hole, and having an external diameter that is substantially the same as that of the circular non-woven fabric; wherein, the circular support plates include nonwoven fabric that is hardened in a compressed state.

The invention proposes a device for attaching an actuator (2) to a housing (4), in particular for an automotive vehicle, the actuator being provided for driving a movable equipment (41) disposed within the housing. The device comprises attaching means for attaching the actuator on the housing. The mounting means comprise two conjugated connection flanges (20, 40), respectively mounted on a connexion face (28) of the actuator (28) and on a connection face (48) of the housing. The connexion flanges are adapted to be assembled according to a male/female type connection at the outside of the housing.

The disclosed embodiments relate generally to methods for creating smooth cosmetic surfaces along small features of an electronic device. The disclosed embodiments are well suited for reaching surfaces disposed in constrained spaces. More specifically a method for finishing a workpiece is described. For example, the method may be employed to finish an inlet portion of a cable connector. The method may involve the use of an abrasive brush which may include a single filament and abrasive particles coupled thereto, which can be configured to provide any number of different surface geometries during a finishing operation.
