Contouring sanding pad

Abstract

The contouring sanding pad works to sand irregular surfaces, including but not limited to automobile surfaces. It is made using thin flat flexible material such as stainless steel and a pressure dispersal system. The pressure dispersal system is attached superiorly to a pressure source, which can include, but is not limited to a handle; and inferiorly, to said flexible material, where pressure is evenly distributed throughout the pad, simultaneously conforming to all surface types and shapes. This technology is superior to existing sanders in that it doesn't require mental concentration or physical adjustments to sand rounded, irregular, or uneven surfaces simultaneously, maximizing productivity. The contouring sanding pad is versatile in its various forms, shapes, sizes, and adaptability. Its components can be reconfigured in terms of materials and structure. The contouring sanding pad can be used manually or attached to power tools. It automatically conforms and continually self-adjusts to surfaces.

1 . The contouring sanding pad automatically conforms to rounded, uneven, and irregular surfaces as it's being used, without any manual adjustments, thereby preventing errors in cutting while maximizing time, efficiency, and productivity. 
     
     
         2 . The efficiency of this invention is dependent upon the unique pressure dispersal system devised of two outer pivot arms, two intermediate pivot arms and a support bracket, which allows pressure to be evenly dispersed to rounded, uneven, or irregular surfaces simultaneously. 
     
     
         3 . The versatility of the contouring sanding pad is unsurpassed as its components may be reconfigured in terms of materials, shapes, sizes, and adaptability to be connected to power tools, including but not limited to air and electric power, as well as to be used manually. 
     
     
         4 . The contouring sanding pad has a unique ability to conform to limitless kinds of surfaces and continually self-adjusts automatically as the surface being sanded is changing, without adjustments mechanically to the tool or without adjustments in force application. 
     
     
         5 . This innovative technology is superior in both quality and craftsmanship to existing sanders in that it takes neither mental concentration nor physical adjustments to sand rounded, uneven, or irregular surfaces simultaneously, thereby maximizing productivity, time, and efficiency. 
     
     
         6 . A contouring sanding pad for removing particulate from a work piece in which the surface of the work piece is non planar, comprising: the centrally positioned plate, said plate being generally rectangular; outer pivot arms, said outer pivot arms being attached to said central plate and extending outwardly from the remote ends thereof to the left and right respectively, said pivot arms supporting pads with abrasive material, and being sufficiently flexible to conform to the surface contours of the work piece; inner pivot arms, said inner pivot arms extending from said central plate to a remote position on each said outer pivot arm; said outer pivot arms adopted to preloads said outer pivot arms to thereby bias each inner pivot arm toward the surface of the work piece; a handle or accessory attachment on said work piece to permit the user of said contouring sanding pad to be manipulated by the user.
