Abstract
This is concerned with a surface cleaning machine such as a burnisher or scrubber and is more particularly concerned with a quick connect/disconnect holding and centering structure for high speed brush and pad use which is specifically constructed to accurately center a brush or pad and dampen any vibration so that the brush or pad may be operated at a high speed without special balancing, as well as to allow for each and quick connect or disconnect. The holding and centering structure comprises an opening in the center of a surface cleaning element adapted to receive a driven hub fitted down in the opening. A circumferential formation in the opening is adapted to interferingly bypass a complementary circumferential formation on the hub. One of the circumferential formations is uniformly distortable.
