Abstract
A buffing apparatus has a shaft assembly connectable to a drill or other stationary motorized buffer/polisher. A stator is fixedly mounted on the shaft and a rotor is rotatably mounted on the shaft, and each of the stator and rotor includes a respective hub and two or more arms extending radially from the respective hub, and each of the two or more arms defines a hole. A pad having first and second holes is mounted on the shaft with an arm of the stator extending through a first hole of the pad and an arm of the rotor extending through a second hole of the pad. The pads are secured in place with a connector extending through the hole of an arm of the stator and through a hole of an arm of the rotor so that the pads are sandwiched between the shaft assembly and the connectors.
Claims4
A buffing apparatus comprising:
- a shaft assembly connectable to at least one of a drill and a stationary buffer/polisher;
- a stator fixedly mounted on the shaft, the stator including two or more stator arms extending radially from the shaft, each of the two or more stator arms defining a respective stator arm hole;
- a rotor rotatably mounted on the shaft, the rotor including two or more rotor arms extending radially from the shaft, each of the two or more rotor arms defining a respective rotor arm hole;
- two or more pads, each of which two or more pads defines a stator pad hole through which a respective one of the two or more stator arms extends, and a rotor pad hole through which a respective one of the two or more rotor arms extends;
- and
- two or more connectors, each of which two or more connectors includes a respective stator end which extends through a respective stator arm hole, and a respective rotor end which extends through a respective rotor arm hole, such that each of the two or more pads are sandwiched between the shaft assembly and a respective one of the two or more connectors.
