An abrading device for abrading a floor structure comprises a first abrading assembly and a second abrading assembly. The first and second abrading assemblies each have a rotationally driven contact roll provided with a sleeve having a plurality of cutouts formed in a pattern thereon. An abrading belt is trained over the sleeve. A first oscillation assembly is connected to the first abrading assembly and oscillates the contact roll of the first abrading assembly in a first direction via a linear, reciprocating motion. A second oscillation assembly is connected to the second abrading assembly and oscillates the contact roll of the second abrading assembly in a second direction via a linear reciprocating motion. The first and second abrading assemblies consecutively abrade a top surface of the floor structure with the pattern formed by the cutouts on the respective sleeves to form a distressed visible pattern thereon.

Disclosed herein are a metal plate including a plurality of pattern portions, a patterning apparatus configured to form a plurality of patterns on the metal plate, and a patterning method using the same. The metal plate to be used in a household appliance includes a plurality of pattern portions in which a hairline pattern is formed on a surface of the metal plate, wherein the plurality of pattern portions includes a first pattern portion having a first hairline pattern and a second pattern portion having a second hairline pattern different from the first hairline pattern.

The invention relates to a device (100) for machining a surface of a workpiece (200a). According to one embodiment, the device (100) comprises a frame (160) and a roller carrier (401), on which a first roller (101) is rotatably supported and which is supported on the frame (160) in such a way that the roller carrier can be moved in a first direction (x). The device (100) comprises at least a second roller (103), which is supported on the frame (160), and a belt (102), which is guided at least around the two rollers (101, 103) and because of the tension of which a resulting belt force (102) acts on the roller carrier (401). The device (100) also comprises an actuator (302), which is mechanically coupled to the frame (160) and the roller carrier (401) in such a way that an adjustable actuator force (FA) acts between the frame (160) and the first roller (101) in the first direction (x). The belt (102) is guided by means of the second roller (103), or by means of the second roller (103) and further rollers (101a, 101b, 121a, 121b, 105), in such a way that the resulting belt force (FB, FB) acting on the roller carrier (401) acts approximately in a second direction (y) orthogonal to the first direction (x) in the case of a target deflection of the actuator (302).
