Abstract
A surfacing apparatus supported adjacent a substantially vertical surface of a structure for applying an even and uniform texture to the surface of the structure using a selectively adjustable force exerted on a texturing means to engage the surface of the structure. The surfacing apparatus is suited for horizontal and vertical movement in controlled prescribed paths under controlled and prescribed pressure from the adjustable tensioning means.
Claims16
A system comprising:
- a support carriage, the support carriage including;
- a texturing head, the texturing head including at least one finishing pad, the at least one finishing pad configured to be movable across a work surface;
- a motor configured to move the at least one finishing pad across the work surface, wherein the motor is rotationally attached to the texturing head and the motor is pivotally attached to the support carriage;
- and
- a tensioning device coupled between the support carriage and the texturing head, the tensioning device configured to provide a substantially constant pressure of the at least one finishing pad against the work surface, wherein the work surface is a surface of a wall.

A method comprising:
- a) providing a texturing device, the texturing device including texturing head having at least one finishing pad, the at least one finishing pad configured to be movable across a work surface, wherein the work surface is the surface of a wall;
- a motor configured to move the at least one finishing pad across the work surface, wherein the motor is rotationally attached to the texturing head and the motor is pivotally attached to the support carriage;
- and
- a tensioning device coupled between the support carriage and the texturing head, the tensioning device configured to provide a substantially constant pressure of the at least one finishing pad against the work surface;
- b) placing the finishing pad in contract with the work surface;
- c) adjusting a pressure of the finishing pad against the work surface by adjusting the pressure applied by the tensioning device between the support carriage and the texturing head;
- d) using the motor to move the finishing pad across the work surface;
- and
- e) using the tensioning device to maintain a substantially constant pressure of the at least one finishing pad against the work surface.
