Definitions

  • the present invention refers to a kit of sanding blocks suitable to treat variously shaped surfaces.
  • Abrasive paper sheets or disks are used to sand surfaces, and in particular to sand the body panels of cars. These disks, or paper sheets, have to be handled with the help of suitable sanding supports, hereinafter called “blocks”, to which they are coupled.
  • the blocks are mechanically resistant elements bearing the abrasive sheet or disks.
  • velcro An intermediate layer of a specific material, known as "velcro" (registered Trademark), is provided to join the abrasive sheet, or disk, to a block.
  • the velcro material consists of two sheets which can be coupled approaching the one to the other and then easily detached .
  • one sheet of the velcro, and specifically a sheet provided with plastic hooks is applied to the bottom surface of the block, while the other sheet, which is made of a soft material suitable to adhere to said hooks, is applied to the non-abrasive side of the abrasive disk.
  • the bottom surface of the already known sanding blocks which defines the active surface of the blocks during the sanding operation, has a flat shape. For this reason the conventional blocks are not suitable to treat curvilinear and/or variously shaped surfaces.
  • the shape of the bottom surface of these blocks can not be modified when the shape of the surface to be treated changes.
  • German Patent n. 1 090 993 describes a device for smoothing and polishing surfaces, comprising an element acting as a handle for the user and a perforated element containing a polishing material which is connected to the side walls of the handle and covers the lower surface of the handle.
  • Kit comprising a main block which acts as an handle for the user and several fitting blocks having active surfaces of different shapes so that they are suitable to be used to treat curvilinear and/or variously shaped surfaces.
  • the fitting blocks have a first coupling surface corresponding to the bottom surface of the main block and a second coupling surface which can be variously shaped and which can be coupled with the non-abrasive side of an abrasive disk.
  • the main block 1 consists of a body which is preferably made of a synthetic resin and which presents an upper portion 3 anatomically shaped in order to act as an handle for the user during the sanding operation.
  • the hand grip is made easier by several grooves 4 which define an anatomically shaped housing for the parts of the user's hand which rest on the main block.
  • Main block 1 presents a bottom portion 5 having a shape and/or a coating which makes it suitable to be joined with both a fitting block and an abrasive disk using a "velcro" layer.
  • lateral surfaces 6 of the main block 1 are made in a similar manner to portion 5.
  • the main block can be used separately (without any fitting block applied thereto).
  • an abrasive disk is directly applied on the main block 1.
  • the abrasive disk matches the frontal and rear outline of surface 5 of the main block, while the portions of the disk exceeding the lateral outline of the bottom surface 5 can be applied on the semicircular lateral surfaces 6 of main block 1.
  • the present kit comprises several fitting blocks 2a-2e, the number and the shape of which can change.
  • Each fitting block is provided with a coupling surface 7 (the bottom surface in the drawings) which corresponds and can be coupled to the bottom surface 5 of the main block 1.
  • Each fitting block is also provided with an active surface 8 (in the drawings the upper surface) intended to be joined with the non-abrasive side of an abrasive disk.
  • a fitting block can be joined with a main block simply approaching the coupling surfaces 7 and 5, so that the non-abrasive side of a disk can be applied on and adhere to the active surface 8 of the fitting block.
  • fitting blocks of the drawings present active surfaces 8 having various curvilinear shapes which make it possible to treat both convex and concave surfaces having various radii of curvature.
  • the fitting blocks 2a,2b of fig.1 present concave active surfaces 8 and lateral surfaces 9 which can be joined with the non-abrasive side of an abrasive disk.
  • the fitting block 2a, having a slightly concave active surface 8 is suitable to treat slightly convex surfaces
  • the fitting block 2b, having a remarkably convex active surface 8 is suitable to treat very concave surfaces.
  • fitting blocks 2c-2e can be used to treat variously shaped surfaces, depending on their radius of curvature.
  • Sanding blocks 1' having an upper portion 3' similar to the upper portion 3 of the already described main block 1 and curvilinear coupling surfaces 8' similar to the already described second coupling surfaces 8 of said fitting blocks 2a-2e are shown in figures 2a and 2b.
  • the upper portion and the coupling surface do not present sharpe edges, and lateral coupling surfaces 6' of the main block are provided to be coupled with the lateral portions of the non-abrasive side of an abrasive disk which possibly exceed the lateral outline of the bottom surface 8' of the block 1'. Said sanding blocks 1' do not fall within the scope of the present invention.
  • the coupling surfaces 5,6,8' of blocks 1,1' and the coupling surfaces 8 of the fitting blocks 2a -2e are suitable to be coupled with the abrasive disks already known in the market which have a diameter of 150 mm and which are provided with a coupling surface coated with a velcro soft sheet.
