ABSTRACT:
A hand-held orbital automobile polisher of the type having a housing with handle means close-coupled to it so that the operator grasps the polisher very near the housing, and moves the polisher to different regions of the automobile. An electric motor is mounted in the housing, and a counterweight is mounted on the motor shaft. A pad assembly is connected to the counterweight at a point offset from the shaft, the axis of rotation of the pad assembly relative to the counterweight being substantially parallel to the shaft axis. The overall weight of the polisher is in the range of about four pounds to about eight pounds. The rotational speed of the motor, and the constructions and masses and mounting points of the counterweight and the pad assembly, are such that the net centrifugal force generated by the counterweight and the pad assembly is in the range of ten to eighteen pounds.
