Publication number: 20220032422Abstract: An extender for a buffing pad assembly having a first portion configured to be rotated, thereby transferring power from a power tool to a buffing pad, and a second portion that can be held by a user to support, direct, and/or control the buffing pad during operation of the power tool. The extender preferably includes a shaft, a sleeve, and at least one retainer for fixing the sleeve onto the shaft. The shaft preferably includes a first portion near a first end, a second portion near a second end, and a third circular portion located therebetween. In one embodiment, the shaft includes first and second grooves, thereby allowing a first retainer (e.g., C-clip) to be snapped into the first groove, the sleeve slid over the open end of the shaft, and a second retainer (e.g., C-clip) snapped into the second groove, resulting in a fully assembled extender.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 3, 2020Publication date: February 3, 2022Inventor: Richard Umbrell

Patent number: 6081959Abstract: The present invention involves a centering system for a polishing pad that is releasably attached to a backing mount. The pad has a generally flat polishing face and may employ a fabric shag pile or foam for buffing, polishing, or otherwise finishing a surface, such as painted sheet metal. The opposite face of the pad is a mounting surface and has an axially aligned centering post projecting therefrom toward the backing mount. The backing mount is a stiff structure that has a socket defined at its axial center. The size and cross section of the socket are configured to conform to the size and cross section of the centering post so that the centering post on the mounting surface of the pad fits snugly into the coaxially aligned socket on the facing side of the backing mount. Mutually engageable layers of flexible, hook and loop fastening material are respectively attached to the mounting surface of the pad and the surface of the backing mount that faces the pad.Type: GrantFiled: July 1, 1996Date of Patent: July 4, 2000Inventor: Richard Umbrell
