Abstract
A hand sander for attaching sandpaper thereto, the hand sander including a base having clamp ends; a handle for holding the sander in the hand; a clamping mechanism for clamping a sheet of sandpaper to each clamp end of the base wherein the clamping mechanism including a clamp pivoting between a clamp locked position and a clamp unlocked position and a planar generally upstanding tab resiliently biased against the clamp for locking the clamp in the clamp locked position. The tab including a shoulder for cooperatively engaging with a portion of the clamp thereby locking the clamp into the clamp locked position.
Claims18
A hand sander for attaching sandpaper thereto, the hand sander comprising:
- a) a base having clamp ends;
- b) a means for holding the sander in the hand;
- c) a clamping mechanism for clamping a sheet of sandpaper to each clamp end of the base;
- d) wherein the clamping mechanism including a clamp pivoting between a clamp locked position and a clamp unlocked position;
- e) a planar generally upstanding tab resiliently biased against the clamp for locking the clamp in the clamp locked position,
- f) wherein the clamp further includes a clamp edge and the base includes a transversely oriented U shaped channel proximate the base ends such that the clamp edge is adapted to urge a portion of the sheet of sandpaper into the U channel thereby fixing the sandpaper to the base.
A hand sander for attaching sandpaper thereto, the hand sander comprising:
- a) a base having clamp ends;
- b) a demountable handle for holding the sander in the hand;
- c) a clamping mechanism for clamping a sheet of sandpaper to each clamp end of the base;
- d) wherein the clamping mechanism including a clamp pivoting between a clamp locked position and a clamp unlocked position,
- e) wherein the handle including T shaped slots which cooperatively intermesh with T shaped rails defined on a base top of the base such that the T slots interferingly slide engagingly onto the T rails thereby demountably attaching the handle to the base in a mounted position.
