Abstract:
1. A handheld material conditioner to condition a material comprising: at least three orbital head assemblies which provide a random rotating orbital action onto said material during conditioning of the material; a motor, said motor connected to said at least three orbital head assemblies to rotate said at least three orbital head assemblies; a housing to house said motor, said housing having at least one handle and having an on/off device to send power to said motor; a base to which said at least three orbital head assemblies are attached said base having a top, bottom and at least one side extending down from said base to act as shielding; a conditioning pad attached to each of said at least three orbital head assemblies for conditioning the material said conditioning pad attached such that each of said conditioning pads is rotated by each of said at least three orbital head assemblies; wherein each of said at least three orbital head assemblies comprises: a base attachment collar mounted to said base, said including a bearing cavity; a base attachment collar bearing fitted into said bearing cavity of said base attachment collar; a rotating orbital head, said orbital head including a threaded pulley shaft extending from a top of said orbital head, said threaded pulley shaft fitted into said base attachment collar bearing and extending beyond said base attachment collar bearing to allow for attachment to said motor, said orbital head including a bearing cavity in a bottom of said orbital head, said bearing cavity being offset from a center of said orbital head, said orbital head having an enhanced weight section away from said bearing cavity; a orbital head bearing fitted into said bearing cavity in said bottom of said orbital head; a conditioning pad shaft that includes a pad end and a bearing end, said bearing end rotatably fix to said orbital head bearing, said pad end attached to said conditioning pad; and wherein said base includes a orbital head assembly hole for each of said at least three orbital head assemblies; wherein said base attachment collar includes a threaded end on a top of said base attachment collar; and wherein said threaded end screws into said orbital head assembly hole to secure each of said at least three orbital head assemblies to said base.
