Benefits of technology

The present invention is a nonwoven abrasive pad with improved wear resistance and better ability to smooth uneven floors. It has an abrasive material that overcomes the shortcomings of previous abrasive pads.

Problems solved by technology

A particular disadvantage of the previously known abrasive pads is the rapid deterioration thereof.
Specifically, during the surfacing of uneven floors the previously known abrasive pads wear out too frequently.
Further, the previously known abrasive pads fail to provide a proper burnish on floors having an uneven surface including a natural stone or floors having a faux stone surfacing texture.

Embodiment Construction

[0022]The present invention has utility as an abrasive pad assembly for a surfacing machine that provides an abrasive pad that provides increased wear resistance and the ability to properly surface a floor having an uneven surface. Providing an abrasive pad having a diamond abrasive member affixed to an exterior surface of a circular pad member spaced apart from the circular pad member provides focused wear on the resilient diamond abrasive member which prevents wear on the circular pad member.

[0023]With reference to FIG. 1, a surfacing machine for providing a surfacing on a surface floor is generally illustrated at 10. The surfacing machine includes a motor 12 that actuates the abrasive pad assembly 14 contained within shield 16. The pad assembly 14 includes a pad member 18 which is secured to the shield 16. The pad assembly 14 is operatively attached to the motor 12 which actuates the pad member 18 to perform the floor surfacing operation. Specifically, the motor 12 actuates the p...

Abstract

An abrasive pad assembly, for use with a surfacing machine, includes a circular pad member and a diamond abrasive member. The circular pad member includes an exterior surface and the diamond abrasive member is affixed to the exterior surface of the circular pad member. The diamond abrasive member includes an insert and a diamond abrasive material. The insert has a first surface affixed to the exterior surface of the circular pad member. The diamond abrasive material is a polycrystalline diamond substance that is affixed to the second surface of the insert. The polycrystalline diamond material is spaced apart from the exterior surface of the circular pad member.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims priority of U.S. Provisional Application 61 / 603,676 filed Feb. 27, 2012, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention is directed to a nonwoven abrasive pad. More particularly, the present invention is directed to a nonwoven abrasive pad having a diamond abrasive member.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]It is well known in the art to provide surfacing machines with abrasive pads. The surfacing machines are used for grinding, scrubbing, and polishing floor surfaces including concrete and stone floors.[0004]The abrasive pads are typically formed of a woven or nonwoven material. Nonwoven pads consist of synthetic fibers or natural fibers such as hog hair, coconut fibers, and the like. An abrasive material is typically formed on an outer surface of the pads. The abrasive material includes diamonds which are used in the surfacing operation of the floors. The...
