Motorized Scrubbing, Buffing, and Polishing Tool

摘要

A motorized tool for scrubbing, buffing, and polishing. The tool has a motor within a housing powered by an electrical power supply to move a base member. Surface treatment material is selectively retained by the base member, potentially by a latching system, a sleeved surface treatment system, or hook and loop material. A water-resistant battery pack can be selectively engaged with the housing, such as through a mating engagement between a tubular projection from the battery pack in combination with an annular socket in the housing, in a substantially watertight manner to provide electrical power. A liquid retaining volume can be disposed within the motorized tool, such as partially within a handle and partially contiguous with a motor compartment of the housing, for retaining a volume of liquid. Liquid can be selectively emitted into or through a surface treatment pad through an exhaust tube.

主权项

1. A motorized tool for scrubbing, buffing, and polishing, wherein the motorized tool comprises:
a housing; a motor retained within the housing; an electrical power supply for providing electrical power to the motor, a switch for selectively permitting electrical power to flow from the power supply to the motor; a base member retained relative to the housing; an actuation mechanism that moves the base member in response to an operation of the motor; and a material retention mechanism capable of removably retaining surface treatment material in relation to the base member.
