Powered cleaner/polisher
First Claim
1. A portable powered cleaning device, comprising:
- a housing;
a motor mounted in the housing so that a drive shaft of the motor extends adjacent a bottom opening of the housing;
a carrier coupled to the drive shaft through the bottom opening and mounted to the housing so as to reciprocate with respect to the housing when the drive shaft is moved;
a cleaning attachment removably attached to the carrier; and
a packet of a surface treatment composition disposed between the cleaning attachment and the carrier.

Abstract
A motorized cleaning/polishing device includes a housing and a carrier with a detachable cleaning/polishing attachment. The housing contains a rechargeable battery, motor and flex mount having flexible pillars to which the carrier is mounted. The carrier is also coupled to the motor drive shaft via an eccentric element and bearing. The carrier may have a foam layer with hook fasteners adhered to its underside for removably attaching any one of various attachments to the carrier. Cleanser or polish can be impregnated in the attachment wet or dry, or it can be contained in a perforated or water dissolvable packet sandwiched between the carrier and the attachment. A removable scrub brush can also be attached to the carrier so that its bristle head orbits in front of the device. The device is particularly suited to orbit in the 2,500 to 10,000 OPM range.
