Abstract
The floor machine provides an attachment system capable of securing a handle to the floor machine at multiple locations. A handle storing a power source, such as batteries, attaches to the housing to power the motor. 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. The power source electrically connects to the motor at a powering location separate from the attachment location of the handle to the housing. The distinct attachment location and powering locations enables different attachments of the handle to the housing.
Claims16
An apparatus for treating a surface, the apparatus comprising:
- a housing storing a motor that agitates a treatment attachment;
- a handle that attaches to the housing;
- a power source stored within the handle, wherein the power source powers the motor;
- a tubular section of the handle, wherein the power source is at least partially stored within the tubular section of the handle;
- a driving plate secured to the housing, wherein the treatment attachment attaches to the driving plate, wherein the motor revolves the driving plate;
- a first attachment body and a second attachment body secured to the housing, wherein the handle releasably attaches to either the first attachment body or the second attachment body.
An apparatus for treating a surface, the apparatus comprising:
- a housing storing a motor that agitates a treatment attachment;
- a handle that attaches to the housing;
- a power source stored within the handle, wherein the power source powers the motor;
- a powering conductor extending externally outward from the handle, wherein the powering conductor electrically connects the power source with the motor;
- a driving plate secured to the housing wherein the treatment attachment attaches to the driving plate, wherein the motor revolves the driving plate;
- wherein the motor is secured to an attachment body;
- a shaft of the motor extending vertically downward;
- an eccentric assembly secured to the shaft;
- and
- 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, wherein the motor revolves the driving plate around a shaft of the motor.
An apparatus for treating a surface, the apparatus comprising:
- a housing storing a motor that agitates a treatment attachment;
- a handle that releasably attaches to the housing at an attachment location;
- a battery stored within the handle, wherein the battery powers the motor;
- a powering conductor that electrically connects the battery with the motor, wherein the powering conductor releasably attaches to the housing at a power location, wherein the power location is distinct from the attachment location;
- a driving plate secured to the housing wherein the treatment attachment attaches to the driving plate, wherein the motor revolves the driving plate;
- and
- a first attachment body and a second attachment body secured to the housing, wherein the handle releasably attaches to either the first attachment body or the second attachment body.
