| 20100141017 | Buffing Ball Made of Compressible Material - A surface finishing ball of compressible material, adapted to be driven on a rotational axis is made from a layered body of compressible material that is formed in multiple disk-like layers that are separated in planes generally perpendicular to the rotational axis. Layers are also slit on circumferentially spaced planes that extend generally radially from an outside surface to define a plurality of foam fingers. A clamping system is used to compress and hold a center portion of the layered body in a direction along the axis of rotation such that the uncompressed outer ends of the fingers define a generally spherical ball. | 06-10-2010 |
| 20100124873 | Multi-Faceted Sanding/Finishing Tool - A sanding and finishing tool is constructed from a number of interlocking sanding members configured such that the sanding and finishing tool is equipped for sanding and/or finishing jobs of varying sizes and degrees, and is further able to easily sand and/or finish in and around various sized edges, crevices and corners. The tool includes a first sanding member having a handle which can be provided with auxiliary sanding members having auxiliary sanding surfaces. The first sanding member includes a sanding surface covered by a sanding material, wherein the sanding material is removably attached to the sanding surface. The tool further includes any number of additional sanding members, such that each additional sanding member dovetails on to the last sanding member, and also includes a sanding surface and material. | 05-20-2010 |
| 20100068981 | Foam Buffing Pad with Compressed Foam Face - A polymeric foam buffing pad is made from a foam preform that has a convex outer working surface slit and compressed. Preferably, the working face is slit to form a pattern of foam fingers. The slit convex preform is flattened to place the outer working surface in compression and the flattened pad is attached, in use, to a flat backing surface to maintain the compressed surface state. The invention can also be applied to an unslit preform. | 03-18-2010 |
| 20080216272 | Buffing system including load absorbing fixture with multiple compression load deflection and replaceable working face - A rotary buffing and finishing system includes a polymeric foam cushioning layer that has a graded compression load deflection which is interposed between a backing plate and a relatively thin performance layer that is removably attached to the foam cushioning layer. The backing plate is flexible but has a compression load deflection greater than the cushioning layer, and the cushioning layer includes two foam layers of graded compression load deflection that decreases from a rear face to a front face. The system provides improved performance over thicker and more expensive performance layers while reducing operator fatigue. | 09-11-2008 |
