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.

A machine for treating a surface lying in an XY plane comprising,
- a body having a body plate,
- a working plate located between the body plate and the XY plane,
- a working pad attached to the working plate,
- a drive assembly connected to the working plate to drive the working plate and working pad with a working vibration in an oscillating pattern parallel to the XY plane,
- an attachment assembly for flexibly attaching the working plate to the body plate to permit the working plate to vibrate relative to the body plate and to isolate the working vibration from the body, the attachment assembly including a plurality of flexible connectors directly connecting the body plate to the working plate.
