Abstract

A cleaning/polishing pad for cleaning or polishing stone, terrazzo or concrete floors comprises a flexible, disk-shaped pad body having an upper mounting surface and a lower working surface, the pad body comprising natural wool fibers. A plurality of resin segments spaced apart from one another and affixed adjacent the lower working surface of the disk-shaped pad body, the resin segments including diamond particles embedded therein, wherein each of the plurality of resin segments is affixed to the pad body in such a way that the majority of the resin segment stands proud of the pad body.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A cleaning/polishing pad for cleaning stone, terrazzo or concrete floors, the cleaning/polishing pad comprising:
 a flexible, disk-shaped pad body having an upper mounting surface and a lower working surface, the pad body comprising natural wool fibers; and   a plurality of resin segments spaced apart from one another and affixed adjacent the lower working surface of the disk-shaped pad body, the resin segments including diamond particles embedded therein, wherein each of the plurality of resin segments is affixed to the pad body in such a way that the majority of the resin segment stands proud of the pad body.   
   
   
       2 . A cleaning/polishing pad for cleaning stone, terrazzo or concrete floors, the cleaning/polishing pad comprising:
 a flexible, disk-shaped pad body having an upper mounting surface and a lower working surface, the pad body comprising wool fibers; and   a plurality of resin segments spaced apart from one another and affixed adjacent the lower working surface of the disk-shaped pad body, the resin segments including diamond particles embedded therein.   
   
   
       3 . A cleaning/polishing pad as claimed in  claim 2  wherein the resin segments are located from one another at predetermined, non-random distances. 
   
   
       4 . A cleaning/polishing pad as claimed in  claim 3  wherein the resin segments are spaced apart from one another about 5-10 mm. 
   
   
       5 . A cleaning/polishing pad as claimed in  claim 2  wherein the resin segments are arranged in concentric rings. 
   
   
       6 . A cleaning/polishing pad as claimed in  claim 2  wherein each of the plurality of resin segments is affixed to the pad body in such a way that the majority of the resin segment stands proud of the pad body. 
   
   
       7 . A cleaning/polishing pad as claimed in  claim 6  wherein the resin segments extend beyond the surface of the pad body between about 0.5 mm and 3 mm. 
   
   
       8 . A cleaning/polishing pad as claimed in  claim 2  wherein at least some of the resin segments are located in close proximity to an outer edge of the cleaning/polishing pad. 
   
   
       9 . A cleaning/polishing pad as claimed in  claim 2  further comprising a releasable attachment backing for securing the pad to a machine and secured adjacent the upper mounting surface of the flexible, disk-shaped pad body. 
   
   
       10 . A cleaning/polishing pad as claimed in  claim 9  wherein the releasable attachment backing comprises hook and/or loop material. 
   
   
       11 . A cleaning/polishing pad for cleaning stone, terrazzo or concrete floors, the cleaning/polishing pad comprising:
 a flexible, disk-shaped, fibrous pad body having an upper mounting surface and a lower working surface; and   a plurality of resin segments spaced apart from one another and affixed adjacent the lower working surface of the disk-shaped pad body, the resin segments including abrasive particles embedded therein.   
   
   
       12 . A cleaning/polishing pad as claimed in  claim 11  wherein the disk-shaped pad body comprises wool. 
   
   
       13 . A cleaning/polishing pad as claimed in  claim 11  further comprising a releasable attachment backing secured adjacent the upper mounting surface of the resilient, disk-shaped pad body. 
   
   
       14 . A cleaning/polishing pad as claimed in  claim 13  wherein the releasable attachment backing comprises hook and/or loop material. 
   
   
       15 . A cleaning/polishing pad as claimed in  claim 11  wherein each of the plurality of resin segments is affixed to the pad body in such a way that the majority of the resin segment stands proud of the pad body. 
   
   
       16 . A cleaning/polishing pad as claimed in  claim 15  wherein the resin segments extend beyond the surface of the pad body between about 0.5 mm and 3 mm. 
   
   
       17 . A cleaning/polishing pad as claimed in  claim 11  wherein at least some of the resin segments are arranged in circular arrays. 
   
   
       18 . A cleaning/polishing pad as claimed in  claim 11  wherein the resin segments are located from one another at predetermined, non-random distances. 
   
   
       19 . A cleaning/polishing pad as claimed in  claim 11  wherein at least some of the resin segments are located in close proximity to an outer edge of the cleaning/polishing pad. 
   
   
       20 . A cleaning/polishing pad as claimed in  claim 11  wherein the abrasive particles comprise diamond particles or diamond-like particles.
