Systems, devices, and methods for sanding a surface using a sanding sleeve

Abstract

Embodiments of the present disclosure include systems, devices, and methods that include a sanding sleeve adapted to slide over and/or substantially cover a sanding block such that the sanding block includes a bottom side, top side, a left side, a right side, a front side, and a rear side. Further, the sanding sleeve includes a bottom side, top side, a left side, and a right side. In addition, the sanding sleeve is adapted to fit the sanding block such that the bottom side of the sanding sleeve substantially covers the bottom side of the sanding block, the top side of the sanding sleeve substantially covers the top side of the sanding block, the left side of the sanding sleeve substantially covers the left side of the sanding block, and the right side of the sanding sleeve substantially covers the right side of the sanding block.

We claim: 
     
         1 . A device, comprising:
 (a) a sanding sleeve adapted to slide over a sanding block;

 (ii) wherein the sanding sleeve includes a bottom side, top side, a left side, and a right side; and 
 (iii) wherein the sanding sleeve is adapted to fit the sanding block such that the bottom side of the sanding sleeve substantially covers the bottom side of the sanding block, the top side of the sanding sleeve substantially covers the top side of the sanding block, the left side of the sanding sleeve substantially covers the left side of the sanding block, and the right side of the sanding sleeve substantially covers the right side of the sanding block. 
   
     
     
         2 . The device of  claim 1 , further comprising a handle coupled to the sanding sleeve such that the sanding sleeve, when substantially covering the sanding block, to sand surfaces. 
     
     
         3 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the handle is at least one of a grip side handle, a grip center handle and a roller handle. 
     
     
         4 . The device of  claim 1 , further comprising an extender coupled to the handle to sand surfaces that are substantially farther than arm's length. 
     
     
         5 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the sanding sleeve is made of ductile material that allows the sanding sleeve, when substantially covering the sanding block, to sand rounded surfaces. 
     
     
         6 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the sanding sleeve insert adapted to fit in between the sanding sleeve and sanding block to allow for sanding of surfaces. 
     
     
         7 . A system, comprising:
 (a) a sanding block;   (b) a sanding sleeve adapted to slide over the sanding block;
 (i) wherein the sanding block includes a bottom side, top side, a left side, a right side, a front side, and a rear side; and 
 (ii) wherein the sanding sleeve includes a bottom side, top side, a left side, and a right side; and 
 (iii) wherein the sanding sleeve is adapted to fit the sanding block such that the bottom side of the sanding sleeve substantially covers the bottom side of the sanding block, the top side of the sanding sleeve substantially covers the top side of the sanding block, the left side of the sanding sleeve substantially covers the left side of the sanding block, and the right side of the sanding sleeve substantially covers the right side of the sanding block. 
   
     
     
         8 . The system of  claim 7 , further comprising a handle coupled to the sanding sleeve such that the sanding sleeve, when substantially covering the sanding block, to sand surfaces. 
     
     
         9 . The system of  claim 7 , wherein the handle is at least one of a grip side handle, a grip center handle and a roller handle. 
     
     
         10 . The system of  claim 7 , further comprising an extender coupled to the handle to sand surfaces that are substantially farther than arm's length. 
     
     
         11 . The system of  claim 7 , wherein the sanding sleeve is made of ductile material that allows the sanding sleeve, when substantially covering the sanding block, to sand rounded surfaces. 
     
     
         12 . The system of  claim 7 , wherein the sanding sleeve insert adapted to fit in between the sanding sleeve and sanding block to allow for sanding of surfaces. 
     
     
         13 . The method, comprising:
 (a) covering, by a sanding sleeve, substantially a sanding block:
 (i) wherein the sanding block includes a bottom side, top side, a left side, a right side, a front side, and a rear side; and 
 (ii) wherein the sanding sleeve includes a bottom side, top side, a left side, and a right side; and 
 (iii) wherein the sanding sleeve is adapted to fit the sanding block such that the bottom side of the sanding sleeve substantially covers the bottom side of the sanding block, the top side of the sanding sleeve substantially covers the top side of the sanding block, the left side of the sanding sleeve substantially covers the left side of the sanding block, and the right side of the sanding sleeve substantially covers the right side of the sanding block. 
   
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 13 , further comprising coupling a handle to the sanding sleeve such that the sanding sleeve, when substantially covering the sanding block, to sand surfaces. 
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 13 , wherein the handle is at least one of a grip side handle, a grip center handle and a roller handle. 
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 13 , further comprising coupling an extender to the handle to sand surfaces that are substantially farther than arm's length. 
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 13 , wherein the sanding sleeve is made of ductile material that allows the sanding sleeve, when substantially covering the sanding block, to sand rounded surfaces. 
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 13 , further comprising placing an insert in between the sanding sleeve and sanding block to allow for sanding of surfaces.
