Benefits of technology

[0010]The inventor has found that placing the resin segments on the working surface of the pad body (so that the resin segments stand proud thereof) is superior to imbedding abrasive-bearing resin in openings formed in a pad. This is so because having the resin segments extend above the surface of the pad body keeps the resin

Problems solved by technology

However, these cleaning elements only apply the abrasive particles to the surface to be cleaned when the cleaning element is compressed against the same with force.
Additionally, it has been found that nylon scouring elements are no

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.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This patent application is a Continuation-in-Part and claims the priority benefit of U.S. Non-Provisional Ser.
