Abstract

A buffing pad attachment system including a buffing pad and a drive element for use with a power buffer. The drive element has a threaded insert permitting attachment to a power buffer drive spindle and further includes a resilient body with a radial flange for supporting an associated buffing pad. The drive element also has a center body portion with a flexible wall collar with at least one screw threaded surface. The buffing pad includes a radial flange with one surface covered with buffing material, the other surface engaging the drive element support surface and a center portion having a screw threaded cylindrical collar for engagement with the collar on the drive element. Both the pad and the drive element are made from elastomeric materials and may thus be nondestructively separated from each other by unscrewing or, in the alternate, by intentional or unintentional deformation of the collar walls sufficient to disconnect the engaged collars.
