Abstract
A buffing and polishing member has an uncompressed monolithic body of foam material having slits from an outside surface toward and less than a distance to a rotational axis of the body. The slits, on circumferential spaced planes, extend generally radially from the outside surface toward and less than a distance to the rotational axis to define a plurality of foam fingers and an unslit center portion. A fastening mechanism holds the center portion of the slit foam body in a compressed state along the rotational axis such that the uncompressed outer ends of the foam finger define a spherocylinder.

A buffing and polishing member of compressible foam material mounted to be driven on a rotatable axis comprising:
- an uncompressed monolithic body of foam material having a plurality of foam fingers and a center portion, the foam body, in an uncompressed state, includes a through bore having a first diameter portion and a second larger diameter portion, and a fastening mechanism positioned in both the first and second bore diameter portions for holding the center portion of the foam body in a compressed state along the rotational axis such that the uncompressed outer ends of the foam finger define a spherocylinder.
A buffing and polishing member of compressible foam material mounted to be driven on a rotatable axis comprising:
- an uncompressed monolithic body of foam material having a plurality of foam fingers, a center portion and a fastening mechanism adhesively secured in a bore in the foam body for holding the center portion of the foam body in a compressed state along the rotational axis such that the uncompressed outer ends of the foam finger define a spherocylinder.
A buffing and polishing member of compressible foam material mounted to be driven on a rotatable axis comprising:
- an uncompressed monolithic body of foam material having a plurality of foam fingers, a center portion, and a fastening mechanism for holding the center portion of the foam body in a compressed state along the rotational axis such that the uncompressed outer ends of the foam finger define a spherocylinder;
- and
- the fastening mechanism further comprising a stem with a head portion, having a diameter larger than a diameter of a bore second diameter portion, and a snap fastener.
A buffing and polishing member of compressible foam material mounted to be driven on a rotatable axis comprising:
- an uncompressed monolithic body of foam material having a plurality of foam fingers, a center portion, and a fastening mechanism for holding the center portion of the foam body in a compressed state along the rotational axis such that the uncompressed outer ends of the foam finger define a spherocylinder;
