Rotary brush floor polisher

A rotary brush floor polisher, comprising:

• a platform having a lower surface and an operating handle;
• an electric motor having a downwardly extending rotary shaft, and a first shock absorbing means for fixedly mounting said electric motor on said platform such that said rotary shaft extends downwardly from said lower surface of said platform;
• an upper disk member which extends coaxially about said rotary shaft, said upper disk member being disposed under said lower surface of said platform;
• means for connecting said rotary shaft of said electric motor to said upper disk member;
• a lower disk member which is disposed under said upper disk member and extends coaxially about said rotary shaft, said lower disk member extending further in an outwardly radial direction than does said upper disk member, said lower disk having an annular inner peripheral surface which is coaxial about said rotary shaft of said electric motor;
• a second shock absorbing means for connecting said lower disk member to said upper disk member such that said lower disk member is movable in vertical and horizontal directions relative to said upper disk member;
• and
• a brush or pad fixedly mounted on a lower surface of said lower disk member.
