Sanding block kit

Abstract

A kit includes a collection of sanding blocks of various dimension and geometric shape for use in fine sanding exterior surfaces of an automobile body or marine craft during a body painting process. Each block is provided with one or more pressure application areas which are uniquely configured for sanding a particular surface contour in a manner which maintains uniform contact between the surface and a fine grade sandpaper overlying the pressure application area of the block. Use of the various blocks in the kit enables even sanding of all surface areas, including difficult to reach areas, without damaging the painted surface.

What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . A kit for use in fine sanding of painted surfaces with a fine grade sandpaper to remove imperfections, said kit comprising: 
 a plurality of sanding blocks each having a particular geometric shape; and    said plurality of sanding blocks each including at least one pressure application surface structured and disposed for receiving the fine grade sandpaper in overlying relation thereto so that a course side of the fine grade sandpaper remains exposed on said pressure application surface, said pressure application surface of each of said plurality of sanding blocks being specifically shaped and configured for maintaining the exposed course side of the fine grade sandpaper in uniform contact against congruently configured areas of the painted surfaces, thereby enabling even sanding of the congruently configured painted surfaces.    
     
     
         2 . The kit as recited in  claim 1  wherein said plurality of sanding blocks include: 
 a first sanding block having two of said pressure application surfaces, and wherein said two pressure application surfaces are both flat;  
 a second sanding block, wherein said pressure application surface is rounded according to a first radius; and  
 a third sanding block, wherein said pressure application surface is rounded according to a second radius, and wherein said second radius is smaller than said first radius.  
 
     
     
         3 . The kit as recited in  claim 2  wherein said plurality of sanding blocks are each formed of LUCITE.  
     
     
         4 . The kit as recited in  claim 2  wherein said plurality of sanding blocks are each formed of plastic.  
     
     
         5 . A kit for use in fine sanding of painted surfaces with a fine grade sandpaper to remove imperfections, said kit comprising: 
 a plurality of sanding blocks each having a particular geometric shape;    said plurality of sanding blocks each including at least one pressure application surface structured and disposed for receiving the fine grade sandpaper in overlying relation thereto so that a course side of the fine grade sandpaper remains exposed on said pressure application surface, said pressure application surface of each of said plurality of sanding blocks being specifically shaped and configured for maintaining the exposed course side of the fine grade sandpaper in uniform contact against congruently configured areas of the painted surfaces, thereby enabling even sanding of the congruently configured painted surfaces;    said plurality of sanding blocks including a first sanding block wherein said at least one pressure application surface is flat;    said plurality of sanding blocks further including a second sanding block wherein said at least one pressure application surface is rounded according to a first radius; and    said plurality of sanding blocks further including a third sanding block wherein said at least one pressure application surface is rounded according to a second radius.    
     
     
         6 . The kit as recited in  claim 5  wherein said first radius is greater than said second radius.
