Abstract
A hand-held buffing apparatus (1) having a cylindrical body (6) with a core (7) and an outer pad (8) that spins around a horizontal axis located between a substantially U-shaped frame (2). Upper handles (5) extend upward from the substantially U-shaped frame. The placement of the upper handles is directly above two parallel outer members (3a, 3b), thereby allowing a user to exert forward pressure on the buffing apparatus while ergonomically controlling the motion of the hand-held buffing apparatus. A motor (10) located on the substantially U-shaped frame and housed in one of the two parallel outer members is mechanically coupled to the cylindrical body to enable the cylindrical body to rotate about the horizontal axis horizontally and parallel to a desired surface.
Claims29
A hand-held buffing apparatus for buffing a desired surface, said hand-held buffing apparatus comprising:
- a frame having at least one outer member perpendicular to a normally horizontal axis and secured to at least one cross member;
- a cylindrical body removably attached to the at least one outer member along the horizontal axis with an attachment means;
- a motor being mechanically coupled to said cylindrical body for enabling said cylindrical body to rotate about said normally horizontal axis horizontally and parallel to said desired surface;
- said motor being secured to said frame;
- and
- at least one upper handle extending upward from said frame, thereby allowing a user to exert forward pressure on the buffing apparatus.
