to provide space for thereciprocating element to be later described. A plurality of holes '8 (preferably four in number) l'extend vertically through Kb pad 5, and concentric'with there isA a hole 9 of relatively small through plate 6. As

An` air inlet r30' to the 29'in one of Vthe side flanges motor is provided through the side fof 'the motor block; said inlet being? accessible through an open- 6o and being .controlled by a valve 3| :(Fi'g. 3) vwhich is adapted tobel movedoff 'its seat Y32 Kby stem 33,'said inlet @Stem '3'3 -is'in turn manually actuated into rvalve fiopening positionby the valvelever 34 which is 535: 'coil spring vIfagainstfiplug"3T/threaded into the'. motor block, a jand :atv itsitop against valve 3|, urges the 'valve fipivotallyconnect'e'd toijpad' plate 5v by pivot lpin 36, 'which' seats at its Ibottom n the topof the motor block and -1plate;6,` I provide'a pair of rubber shock absorbers 38 disposed one at eachend of the'elon "gated opening "26 in position to V.be contacted by best shown in Fig; 3, pad-5 55 ',.\."A"p'ar 'ofoppo'sitely disposed, relatively thick l piston. The vtop'endioi. thepinzlfl reciprocates along tionary. The arched ilexible and transverse clamping strips 45, said strips being downwardly bent at their ends as shown at 4l to resist lateral displacement of the webs` A shoe 50 is secured to the plate 44 by means of rivets 53 passing through holes in its flanged portions 54, and into this shoe fits the enlarged end Ila of pin I'T, one side of the shoe being open, as shown at l, to pass the enlarged endA lla during assembling and disassembling. The lower pin end Ila is normally spaced from the bottom of the shoe to permit vertical movement of the pin end lla Within the shoe as the webs 40 are exed. The top of the shoe has an inwardly extending flange portion 55 which overhangs the enlarged pin end Ha to prevent further upward movement of the pin with respect to the shoe after it reaches the uppermost position shown in Fig. 2.
A ilexible cushion 60 is secured to plate 44 by having its socketed endsl 5I fit over the respective ends of plate 44. Cushion 60 is preferably composed of rubber and has a dove-tailed recess 63 at its bottom into which is moulded a resilient pad 65 which is preferably of felt or the like. An abrasive or working .sheet 'I0 is stretched over the bottom face of cushion B9 and pad 6'5, the respective ends of said sheet 'It being folded around the overhanging ends 60u and conned by being held against plate 44 by the overhanging ends 60a of cushion 60, the loose end of the working sheet tting into recesses `6'! provided in the top face of cushion 60.
In operation, the longitudinal movement of the piston within the bore reciprocates its carried pin Il which in turn transmits the reciprocating movement to the working face of the pad element while the operator holds the top plates 5 and 6 and the carried motor relatively stawebs 40 permit the rubbing pad element to be reciprocated without tending to raise the ends of the pad at and adjacent the ends of the stroke, thus maintaining the movement of the pad in a substantially constant plane, although, due to the flexibility of the working face of the pad itself, it is capable 4 of flexing to follow a curved or uneven surface being worked upon.
In devices of the prior art, the motor is usually the topmost element, the pad being secured to or carried by the bottom of the motor. In such cases, if the top ends of the webs are firmly secured to the bottom of the motor, the webs are so relatively short that it requires considerable exertion on the part of the operator to hold the motor stationary and the short webs deteriorate rapidly due to the great stresses placed upon them by reciprocation of the working face of the pad. My invention has a distinct advantage over such devices inasmuch as in my device, wherein the pad element may be said to consist of the I webs 4U and the rubbing element, the webs may be of substantially greater length and may be thicker and more durable. The flexing stress on any part of the webs is not very great, so that the top portion may be held stationary with little effort and the webs are capable of long life, the operation being at the same time much smoother. Furthermore, since the thickness of the rubber webs is interposed between the top of the motor and the top plates, the vibration transmitted to the hand of the operator is reduced to a minimum and the motor noises are materially damped because the motor is substantially housed within a rubber casing provided by the pad element.
While, in the foregoing description, I have resorted to various details of structure and association of parts, I wish it understood that I do not thereby conne ymy invention to such specific details. Rather, various modilcations and adaptations may be made within the broader scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.
