ABSTRACT:
A quick release attachment for a power buffer having a rotatable spindle includes a buffing pad assembly and a quick release connector adapted to join the buffing pad assembly to the spindle. The buffing pad assembly includes a mounting plate and a buffing pad affixed to either side of the mounting plate. The mounting plate and the buffing pads each have respective aligned central apertures. The mounting plate aperture further comprises a circular ring disposed therein and has a pin extending diametrically across the aperture. The pin comprises a magnetically attractive material. The quick release connector has a main body adapted to fixedly engage the spindle. The connector further has a head end extending from the main body and having a circular cross-section sized to engage the circular ring. The head end further has a slot sized to engage the pin. The slot further comprises a distal portion extending axially along the head end, a proximal portion extending axially along the head end offset from the distal portion, and a transition portion joining the distal and proximal portions. The main body further comprises a permanent magnet disposed therein having at least one surface adjacent to the proximal portion of the slot. The buffing pad is selectively affixed to the quick release connector by manipulating the head end into the aperture and moving the pin through the slot until reaching the proximal portion, whereupon the pin is retained by the magnetic attraction of the permanent magnet.
