  • Foam buffing pad having a finishing surface with a splash reducing configuration
    Patent number: 5527215
    Abstract: A rotatable foam buff for more efficient application of a finishing liquid to the surface of a workpiece. Excess finishing liquid is precluded from being thrown out from the perimeter of the rotating buff pad, due to centrifugal force, by the configuration of the finishing surface of the pad which includes one or more grooves located wholly within the perimeter of the pad, or, recessed regions that form a groove when pressure is applied to the back of the pad. The groove(s) captures potentially escaping finishing liquid which is then absorbed by the foam pad.
