  • Patent number: 7056199
    Abstract: The present discovery refers to a connecting foot for a machine constituted by a central cylinder of hard plastic material, possibly fitted with a hole, coaxial to said central cylinder, and by an external coating of rubber. Said rubber also fills the hole forming a rod that connects the two heads of the external coating. The external coating of the foot is constituted by a single piece that completely covers the internal cylinder. An orbital sanding machine is also described, comprising a machine body that supports a motor for the rotation of a vertical shaft, a rotative-orbital plate connected eccentrically to said shaft by means of an eccentric hub in relation to the axis of the shaft and elastic connecting feet between the operating plate and the machine body.

  • Patent number: 5518441
    Abstract: A device is described for manual assembly and removal of a working disc in a manual tool for machining surfaces. The tool comprises a hub on which the working disc is screw-fastened and that is rotatably held eccentrically by a support casing made to rotate on its own axis by a driving shaft.
