PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

(5) In light of the mentioned figures and according to the adopted numbering, it can be appreciated that in them one can see the preferred embodiment, but not limitative of the described demountable electromagnetic device for burnishing and polishing of metallic pieces, which comprises parts and elements which are described and indicated in detail as follows.

(6) Such as can be seen in the figures, the device (1) in question, comprises several parts which are demountable and attachable between them, consisting of: a tank (2) into which an electrolytic solution is incorporated and which contains the cathode (c); a main body (3) which constitutes an independent element which closes over said tank (2) and which incorporates the electric contacts (6) and the mechanical components and propelling systems (5) which complement the mechanical-galvanic process, whereby these propelling systems (5) set in such a way that, upon closing the main body (3) over the tank (2) they remain submerged in the solution; and an extractable head (4), which connects the frame (41) by means of a rapid connection system and which is coupled over the main body (3) and incorporates the motorization or electric motor (14) which moves the mechanical components as well as the electronic part (41) as well as the frame (41) for supporting where the pieces will be polished and burnished.

(7) This frame (41), is also preferably, also a demountable piece from the extractable head (4), and in any case, upon coupling the head (4) over the main body (3), it crosses a passing cavity (9) thereof to also remain submerged in the solution. This passing cavity (9) has been marked in FIG. 3 by means of a discontinuous sketch line which crosses it to ease its appearance.

(8) Preferably, although not in a limitative manner, the frame (41) of the pieces to be treated constitutes the anode (a) itself, while also in a preferable manner, the cathode (c) is constituted by the inner surface (2a) of the tank (2).

(9) Such as can be seen in the figures, in the preferred embodiment of the invention, the propelling systems (5) are incorporated into the lower part of the main body (3) attached, vertically and radially, in a piece (7) provided for this purpose on the inner face thereof and present a movement, preferably concentric, provided by a motor (14) of the head.

(10) For this purpose, the motor (14) is linked to a rotating body (15) which, upon being coupled to the head (4) over the main body (3) transmits movement to the upper anchorages (12) of the propelling systems (5) so that they displace on some guides (13) of the piece (7) unto which they are fixed, imprinting the same with a concentric movement.

(11) Similarly, the motor (14) by means of its axis (11) acts over the shell (8) unto which the frame (41) is coupled, which preferably consists with, at least one rod with fasteners (42) for the pieces to be treated, impressing on it a turning movement which makes it turn on itself.

(12) It is important to highlight that the head (4) and the main body (3) have been provided with electric contacts (6) which are connected between themselves by coupling an element to the other in order to provide electric feed to the main body (3) emanating from the head (4) on whose upper end the network connection cable (not shown) is incorporated.

(13) Having described the nature of present invention sufficiently, as well as having undertaken its practice, it is considered that it is not necessary to further explain it in order for a person skilled in the art to understand its scope and the advantages it provides, noting that within its essence, other undertakings of it which could differ in their detail from that of the example title of the invention could be carried out, all of which would attain equally the protection sought, as long as its fundamental principle is not altered, changed or modified.
