Sanding Tool

Abstract

A sanding tool for sanding corners. This tool includes an elongated V-shaped member structured to uniformly contact adjacent corner positions; a sandpaper securing device configured to secure the sandpaper thereon. The device includes: a pair of threaded elongated members; a pair of adjustment mechanisms, having: a clamping member sized to be substantially parallel with the elongated V-shaped member, a first bracing member; and a securing bolt in the form of wing nuts; and a user interface system, configured to enable a user to operate the sanding tool. The user interface further includes: a pair of bracing members inserted into the elongated V-shaped member; a coupling mechanism, in the form of a plate having a socket thereon; a gripping member in the form of a handle, configured to enable a user to grasp the sanding tool.

1 . A sanding tool for sanding corners, comprising:
 an elongated V-shaped member, configured to uniformly contact adjacent corner positions, including
 a contact side; and 
 a support side; 
   a sandpaper securing device, configured to secure the sandpaper to the contact side, including:
 a pair of elongated members coupled to opposing medial ends of the support side and extending outwardly therefrom; 
 an pair of adjustment mechanisms each removably coupled to one of the elongated members, each adjustment mechanism including:
 a securing member comprising:
 a clamping member sized to be substantially parallel with the elongated V-shaped member having a hole disposed therein, sized to receive one of the elongated members; 
 
 a first bracing member having a hole disposed therein, sized to receive one of the elongated members; and 
 a securing bolt, sized to encase the elongated members; 
 wherein the first bracing member is inserted into the clamping member and transversely coupled to the clamping member at opposing ends of the first bracing member; and 
 
   a user interface system, configured to enable a user to operate the sanding tool including:
 a pair of second bracing members inserted into the elongated V-shaped member and transversely coupled to the elongated V-shaped member at opposing ends of the second bracing members; 
 a coupling mechanism, removably coupled to each of the second bracing members; and 
 a gripping member, configured to enable a user to grasp the sanding tool, removably coupled to the coupling mechanism; wherein the gripping member is a U-shaped handle.
