Quarter pad sander
First Claim
1. A hand operated orbital sander having a hand grip portion;
- a first opening for connection to a source of pressurized air;
a second opening;
a base portion for mounting a sanding pad and having a chamber, an air inlet for directing air into said chamber and an air outlet for discharging air from said chamber;
a resiliently deformable sleeve portion for connecting said base portion to depend from said hand grip portion and defining a conduit for placing said air outlet in flow communication with said second opening;
an air operated rotor rotatably supported within said chamber and mounting an eccentric weight for imparting orbital movement to said base portion upon rotation of said rotor; and
