Benefits of technology

[0017]Yet another object of the invention is that it does not overload the pressure pump.

Problems solved by technology

The limitation was that in time the tool would be worn out of the glued or fixed abrasive material reducing first the efficiency and then the utility of the same.
Rotating abrasive polishing tools are widely used in the industry but some limitations apply to their use on submerged surfaces.
Electric power makes it unsafe to operate under water, specially salt water.
Pneumatic power can be used but introduces the problem of bubbles which cannot be avoided and must be diverted.

Embodiment Construction

[0025]Detailed descriptions of the preferred embodiment are provided herein. It is to be understood, however, that the present invention may be embodied in various forms. Therefore, specific details disclosed herein are not to be interpreted as limiting, but rather as a basis for the claims and as a representative basis for teaching one skilled in the art to employ the present invention in virtually any appropriately detailed system, structure or manner.

[0026]A machine comprising a two part casing enclosing a low speed hydraulic turbine fixed to the only rotating axle. This axle rotates by means of the motion generated by the turbine while receiving the pressurized water injected through the pressure connector. Attached to the termination of the axle is a fixed disk that allows the attachment of the abrasive material disks.

[0027]The incoming pressurized water forces the turbine to rotate with the axle generating the rotary motion of the disk. The water is then discharged at low pres...

Abstract

A hand held machine for polishing submerged surfaces, i.e. a pool powered by pressurized water with only one rotating element enclosed in a two part casing, feeded through a pressure connector, and using standard commercial polishing disks that uses pressurized water as power source.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]Not ApplicableSTATEMENT REGARDING FEDERALLY SPONSORED RESEARCH OR DEVELOPMENT [0002]Not ApplicableDESCRIPTION OF ATTACHED APPENDIX[0003]Not ApplicableBACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0004]This invention relates generally to the field of mechanical devices for polishing purposes and more specifically to a machine for polishing submerged surfaces, i.e. a pool.[0005]Polishing procedures are based on friction of abrasive material between the polished surface and an auxiliary surface that can be the supportive media for the abrasive materials. The abrasive material is always harder than the surface to be polished and the auxiliary surface must be resistant to the abrasive material. As a general rule, the size of the grain of the abrasive material would dictate the polishing effect.[0006]At first the process was a manual one involving a hand tool to apply the polishing material against the surface to be polished. Later on the abrasive material was ...
