Abstract

Abstract A polished surface protective sleeve that is used for covering the electrical cord of a car wax polishing and buffing machine. The protective sleeve is formed of an elongated tubular member having an internal diameter greater than the outside diameter of the electrical cord. The outer surface of the tubular member is entirely covered by a layer of soft unabrasive material. The protective sleeve has been designed to eliminate the situation when the electrical cord is dragged across a polished car surface while buffing an adjacent area.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim 193 words
The combination of a car wax polishing and buffing machine and a polished surface protective sleeve comprising: said car wax polishing and buffing machine having an elongated electrical cord having a plug on one end, said electrical cord having a predetermined outside diameter; an elongated tubular member having a predetermined length and a predetermined internal diameter, the internal diameter of said tubular member being greater than the outside diameter of said electrical cord, said tubular member having a first end and a second end, said electrical cord being inserted into said tubular member and passing through its entire length, said tubular member having an outer surface that is nonabrasive so it won't mar a polished paint surface; said tubular member being made of an elongated strip of fabric whose opposite lateral edges have been folded over toward each other and stitched together thus forming a radially inwardly extending tab; and the first end of said tubular member having a strip of hook and loop fastening material attached to its inner surface and it mates with a ring of hook and loop fastening material that has been secured to structure of said electrical cord.
