    Abstract: PURPOSE:To uniformly generate the pressure distribution of a polishing surface by enabling the polishing surface of a polishing tool, held to a tool holding part, to sufficiently follow up to a polished surface of a workpiece at the time of polishing, and further eliminating generation of a couple of force acting on the polishing tool. CONSTITUTION:Three balls 5a, 5b(the other not shown) are interposed by a protruded spherical surface 2b formed in a tool holding part 2 for holding a polishing tool 1 and by a recessed spherical surface 3b formed in a supporting part 3, to which polishing force(resultant force of P and N) is applied, to connect the tool holding part 2 to the supporting part 3 by a rubber seal 6. Each center point of the protruded and recessed spherical surfaces 2b, 3b agrees respectively with a center point R of a polishing surface 1a of the polishing tool 1. By rolling each ball 5a, 5b, the polishing tool 1 can be tilted relating to the supporting part 3 within a range of deflection of the rubber seal 6. The above-mentioned polishing force is transmitted to the protruded spherical surface 2b from the recessed spherical surface 3b through each ball 5a, 5b to act on the center point R of the polishing surface 1a. Since friction force F at the time of polishing acts on the polishing surface 1a, no couple of force is generated.

    Abstract: PURPOSE:To suppress damage to a minimum limit on a polished surface and to enhance quality of the finish polished surface, by forming an utmost limited polishing circumferential section on the peripheral surface of a rotary unit polishing tool by a fluid pressure increase-concentrating means so that a high dynamic pressure of fluid is generated in a fine polishing point even if the tool rotates in a low speed. CONSTITUTION:A rotary unit polishing tool 15 opposes its rotary circumferential surface approaching to a workpiece surface provided being arranged and immersed in polishing fluid, and this tool 15, which rotates its rotary circumferential surface relatively with the workpiece surface generating a dynamic pressure of the polishing fluid in a fine clearance between the rotary circumferential surface and the workpiece surface, polishes a fine amount of the workpiece surface. Here the rotary unit polishing tool 15 arranges in an equal space grooves 20 or protruding walls which converge in an opposite direction to the rotation toward the central part from the sideward peripheral edge of the rotary circumferential surface of the tool 15, and the tool 15, which increases a pressure of the polishing fluid to be converged along this rotary circumferential surface by these grooves 20 or protruding walls, enables a high dynamic pressure of fluid to be generated in a fine polishing point and a finished surface of high quality to be obtained.

    Abstract: PURPOSE:To prevent the occurrence of permanent set to a diaphragm, by projecting each setting shaft for engagement between a vessel and a body to the inside of the vessel and, when fluid pressure is less than the specified value, making each of these setting shafts contact with each other. CONSTITUTION:Each of setting shafts 92 and 94 for engaging a vessel with a body is projected to the inside the vessel. And when fluid pressure is less than the specified value, end parts of both setting shafts 92 and 94 are made contact with each other, and any displacement in a diaphragm 91 is restricted. With this constitution, a displacement amount of the diaphragm 91 to the lower side due to the weighting of the body is restrainable so that permanent set against the diaphragm 91 is preventable from occurring.
