Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090191376METHOD, APPARATUS, AND SYSTEM USING ADAPTER ASSEMBLY FOR MODIFYING SURFACES - Method, system, and apparatus for use in enabling users to quickly change surface modifying articles and for supporting the surface modifying articles during a surface modification operation.07-30-2009
20090191800METHOD, SYSTEM, AND APPARATUS FOR MODIFYING SURFACES - The present disclosure is directed to method, apparatus, and system for uniformly supporting flexible surface modifying articles during surface modification as well as enabling replacing and repositioning thereof for improving their useful service life as well as improving dust and debris control management.07-30-2009
20100009606CONVERSION ASSEMBLAGE ADAPTABLE FOR USE IN COMBINATION WITH A SURFACE MODIFYING APPARATUS AND METHOD THEREOF - The disclosure is directed to a conversion assemblage adapted for use in converting a surface modifying mechanism, such as a pole sander, having an attaching member. The surface modifying assemblage and method facilitate converting the pole sander with anyone of several different surface treating assemblages in an easy and reliable manner as well as provides for enhanced surface modifying efficiencies and improvements.01-14-2010
20100009609CONVERSION ASSEMBLAGE ADAPTABLE FOR USE IN COMBINATION WITH A SURFACE MODIFYING APPARATUS AND METHOD THEREOF - The disclosure is directed to conversion assemblages adapted for use in converting a surface modifying apparatus, such as a pole sander, whereby the conversion assemblage includes a generally rigid body assembly including first and second major surfaces opposing each other, the first major surface is adapted for receiving the supporting member, and the second major surface is attachable to a surface modifying member.01-14-2010
20100009610NON-MOTORIZED HAND MANIPULATABLE SURFACE MODIFYING TOOL AND METHOD OF CONVERTING THE SAME - Disclosed is a non-motorized hand manipulatable surface modifying tool and method that facilitates improved surface modifying efficiency and ease of conversion to any one of several different surface treating assemblies. Included is a generally lightweight, low density supporting body assembly made of a block of generally rigid plastic foam material that is sized and shaped to allow a user to manipulate the tool by hand to modify a surface while retaining its shape under hand applying pressure; and a generally flexible surface modifying article.01-14-2010
20100120342METHOD, SYSTEM, AND APPARATUS FOR MODIFYING SURFACES - The present disclosure is directed to method, apparatus, and system for uniformly supporting flexible surface modifying articles during surface modification as well as enabling replacing and repositioning thereof for improving their useful service life as well as improving dust and debris control management.05-13-2010
20120034853METHOD, SYSTEM, AND APPARATUS FOR MODIFYING SURFACES - The present disclosure is directed to method, apparatus, and system for uniformly supporting flexible surface modifying articles during surface modification as well as enabling replacing and repositioning thereof for improving their useful service life as well as improving dust and debris control management.02-09-2012
