DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

(8) Referring to FIGS. 1 to 4, the grinding machine A of the present invention comprises an adjustable work bench 1 which has a support 2, a board 3, a transportation device 4, a grinding device 5 and an angle adjustment device 6.

(9) The support 2 has a connection portion 21 which includes multiple holes and screws. The board 3 is connected to the connection portion 21 and has a first opening 31 and a second opening 32.

(10) As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the transportation device 4 is connected across over the first and second openings 31, 32 to as to feed the object to be ground toward the grinding device 5. The transportation device 4 has the first side thereof connected to the board 3, and the second side of the transportation device 4 is connected to the angle adjustment device 6 by multiple screws 47.

(11) The transportation device 4 includes a frame 41, a rubber belt 42, a first roller 43, a second roller 44 and a motor 45. The first and second rollers 43, 44 are connected to two sides of the frame 41 so as to stretch the rubber belt 42. The motor 45 is connected to the first roller 43. Besides, the transportation device 4 has a tightness adjustment device 46 which is connected to the transportation device 4 and the second roller 44. A fastening device 48 is connected between the board 3 and the second side of the transportation device 4.

(12) The grinding device 5 has a driving portion 51 and a grinding portion 52 which is connected to the driving portion 51. The driving portion 51 is connected to the support 2 so that the grinding portion 52 is located above the transportation device 4. The grinding device 5 has a height adjustment device 53 which adjusts the height of the driving portion 51 relative to the transportation device 4.

(13) The angle adjustment device 6, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, is connected between the board 3 and the transportation device 4 so as to adjust inclination of the transportation device 4. The angle adjustment device 6 has a top plate 61, a bottom plate 62 and a knob 63. The top plate 61 is connected to the second side of the transportation device 4, and the bottom plate 62 is connected to one side of the board 3. The top plate 61 is located corresponding to the bottom plate 62. The knob 63 extends through the top plate 61 and is connected to the bottom plate 62.

(14) As shown in FIG. 6, the users use the knob 63 of the angle adjustment device 6 on the side of the transportation device 4 to adjust the inclination of the transportation device 4, and then secure the transportation device 4b fastening device 48 so as to grind the surface of an larger object 7.

(15) The grinding portion 52 is adjusted to a proper height when grinding a large object 7 as shown in FIG. 6, the length of the grinding portion 52 is long enough to cover the length of the object 7, the whole top surface 70 of the object 7 can be ground. As shown in FIG. 7, if the length of the grinding portion 52 is not long enough to cover top surface 70 of the object 7, the side B of the top surface 70 of the object 7 is ground first, and then the other side A of the top surface 70 of the object 8 is ground as shown in FIG. 8. Because the grinding portion 52 is not positioned horizontally so that there will be a bump C formed on the top surface 70 of the object 7. Assume the height of the bump C is h, the users then operate the knob 63 to adjust the inclination of the grinding portion 52 slightly to grind the bump C as shown in FIG. 9 so that the whole top surface 70 is ground to be flat and smooth.

(16) While we have shown and described the embodiment in accordance with the present invention, it should be clear to those skilled in the art that further embodiments may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention.
