Abstract
The floor machine provides an attachment system capable of securing a handle to the floor machine at multiple locations. A housing of the floor machine provides two attachment bodies located on the exterior of two different walls of the housing. By securing the handle to the different attachment points, the user can configure the footprint of the floor machine to increase the user's access to narrower and/or smaller confined areas.
Claims17
An apparatus for treating a surface with a treatment attachment wherein a handle releasably attaches to a housing storing a motor that agitates the treatment attachment to treat the surface, the apparatus comprising:
- a rear wall of the housing extending laterally a first distance;
- a first side wall of the housing extending longitudinally a second distance;
- wherein the first distance is greater than the second distance;
- a rear attachment body extending outward from the rear wall for attachment of the handle;
- a first side attachment body secured to the first side wall for attachment of the handle, wherein the handle attaches to the housing at one of the attachment bodies to change the orientation of the handle on the housing;
- and
- a power source stored within the handle, wherein the power source powers the motor.
The apparatus of 1 claim further comprising:
- a second side attachment body secured to the first side wall wherein the handle attaches to the second side attachment body, the second side attachment body located laterally outward from the first side attachment body.
An apparatus for treating a surface with a treatment attachment wherein a handle releasably attaches to a housing storing a motor that agitates the treatment attachment to treat the surface, the apparatus comprising:
- a rear wall of the housing extending laterally a first distance;
- a first side wall of the housing extending longitudinally a second distance;
- wherein the first distance is greater than the second distance,
- a rear attachment body extending outward from the rear wall;
- a first side attachment body secured to the side wall wherein the handle attaches to at least one of the attachment bodies;
- and
- the motor secured to the rear attachment body and the side attachment body;
- the shaft of the motor extending vertically downward;
- an eccentric assembly secured to the shaft;
- the driving plate secured to the eccentric assembly wherein the eccentric assembly offsets the driving plate in relation to the shaft, the driving plate located below the motor;
- and
- a power source stored within the handle, wherein the power source powers the motor.
An apparatus for treating a surface with a treatment attachment wherein a handle releasably attaches to a housing storing a motor that agitates the treatment attachment to treat the surface, the apparatus comprising:
- said motor attaches to said housing,
- an attachment body secured to the housing, wherein the handle attaches to the attachment body;
- a driving plate secured to the housing wherein the treatment attachment attaches to the driving plate wherein the motor revolves the driving plate around a shaft of the motor;
- a power source stored within the handle, wherein the power source powers the motor;
- and
- a second attachment body secured to the housing, wherein the handle releasably attaches to the housing at one of the attachment bodies to change the orientation of the handle on the housing.
