Abstract

An embodiment of a tool for working on a surface includes a tool support, a pad replaceably attached to a lower surface of the tool support, a working material replaceably attached to a lower surface of the pad, and a vacuum attachment member connected to the tool support.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A tool for working on a surface, comprising: 
 a tool support;    a pad replaceably attached to a lower surface of the tool support;    a working material replaceably attached to a lower surface of the pad; and    a vacuum attachment member connected to the tool support.    
   
   
       2 . The tool of  claim 1 , where the vacuum attachment member includes an outlet for releasable attachment to a vacuum source.  
   
   
       3 . The tool of  claim 1 , where the vacuum attachment member is pivotally connected to the tool support.  
   
   
       4 . The tool of  claim 1 , where the pad includes a plurality of apertures therethrough, the apertures in fluid communication with an aperture through the tool support.  
   
   
       5 . The tool of  claim 1 , where the pad is replaceably attached to the lower surface of the tool support via a hook and loop fastening structure.  
   
   
       6 . The tool of  claim 1 , where the tool support is a rigid tool support.  
   
   
       7 . The tool of  claim 1 , where the tool support has a periphery with at least five points equidistant from a center of the tool support.  
   
   
       8 . A tool for working on a surface, comprising: 
 a tool support;    a pad replaceably attached to a lower surface of the tool support;    a working material replaceably attached to a lower surface of the pad via a hook and loop fastening structure; and    a vacuum attachment member connected to the tool support, the vacuum attachment member including an outlet for releasable attachment to a vacuum source.    
   
   
       9 . The tool of  claim 8 , where the pad is replaceably attached to the lower surface of the tool support via a hook and loop fastening structure.  
   
   
       10 . The tool of  claim 8 , wherein the tool support is pivotally connected to the vacuum attachment member.  
   
   
       11 . The tool of  claim 10 , wherein the vacuum attachment member is releasably attachable to an elongate hollow handle.  
   
   
       12 . The tool of  claim 8 , where the tool support includes a periphery having a circular shape.  
   
   
       13 . The tool of  claim 12 , where the pad includes a periphery having a circular shape.  
   
   
       14 . The tool of  claim 13 , where the working material includes a periphery having a circular shape.  
   
   
       15 . A tool for working on a surface, comprising: 
 a tool support;    a pad replaceably attached to a lower surface of the tool support;    a working material attached to a lower surface of the pad, the working material including a rigid backing; and    a vacuum attachment member connected to the tool support, the vacuum attachment member including an outlet for releasable attachment to a vacuum source.    
   
   
       16 . The tool of  claim 15 , where the working material is replaceably attached to the lower surface of the pad.  
   
   
       17 . The tool of  claim 15 , where the working material is replaceably attached to the lower surface of the pad via a hook and loop fastening structure.  
   
   
       18 . The tool of  claim 15 , where the pad is replaceably attached to the lower surface of the tool support via a hook and loop fastening structure.  
   
   
       19 . The tool of  claim 15 , where the rigid backing includes a number of hard particles formed thereon.  
   
   
       20 . The tool of  claim 15 , where the rigid backing includes a number of apertures therethrough.
