Abstract
A variable radius sanding block for sanding curved surfaces. The variable radius sanding block includes a base member and a plurality of variably sized radius patches. The base member is sized and proportioned to allow radius patches of varying size to be inserted, such that each of the radius patches will change the curvature of the sanding block upon insertion. The base member also having a folded flexible internal structure and a pair of flexible arms that facilitate insertion of radius patches of varying size. The radius patch includes a pair of grooves that receive the flexible arms of the base member and secure the base member to the radius patch.
Claims11
A variable radius sanding block comprising:
- a base member and a radius patch;
- the base member having a top end and a bottom end, wherein the top end comprises two flexible arms that define an opening;
- the arms configured to collapse inward, making the opening smaller, and expand outwards, making the opening larger;
- the radius patch removably disposed within the opening of the base member;
- wherein each arm includes a fastener configured to secure the radius patch once inserted into the base member;
- wherein the bottom end includes a folded spring having a plurality of expandable segments that operably connect an outermost left side of the base member to an outermost right side of the base member, such that the folded spring moves between a resting position to a flexed position;
- in the flexed position the expandable segments form a first curve and in the resting position the expandable segments form a second curve.
