  • SURFACE TREATING MACHINE WITH DIRECT CONNECTION
    Publication number: 20200329938
    Abstract: The present invention is a machine for treating a surface lying in an XY plane. The machine includes a body having a body plate, a working plate, a working pad, a drive assembly and an attachment assembly. The attachment assembly includes a plurality of flexible connectors directly connecting the body plate to the working plate. The working plate is located between the body plate and the XY plane. The drive assembly is connected to the working plate to drive the working plate with a working vibration in an oscillating pattern parallel to the XY plane.

  • Surface treating machine with detachable heads
    Patent number: 10390671
    Abstract: A machine for treating a surface lying in an XY plane. The machine includes a body, a body plate, a cleaning plate, a motor assembly and an attachment assembly. The cleaning plate is located between the body plate and the XY plane. The motor assembly is connected to the cleaning plate to drive the cleaning plate with a cleaning vibration in an oscillating pattern parallel to the XY plane. The attachment assembly flexibly attaches the cleaning plate to the body plate to permit the cleaning plate to vibrate relative to the body plate and to isolate the cleaning vibration from the body. A connector is attached to the body for connecting to a member, such as a handle, to move the machine in the XY plane.
