Stand up sander assembly

Abstract

A stand up sander assembly for sanding a floor with a weed trimmer includes a cup that is mountable to a drive output of a weed trimmer such that the cup is rotated by the weed trimmer when the weed trimmer is turned on. A coupler is removably coupled to the cup. The coupler lies on a plane that is oriented perpendicular to a rotational axis of the drive output. A sanding disk is removably attached to the coupler. In this way the sanding disk can be positioned against a surface to be sanded when the weed trimmer is manipulated. The sanding disk is comprised of an abrasive material thereby facilitating the sanding disk to sand the surface.

         2 . The assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein:
 said cup has a basal wall and a perimeter wall extending away therefrom, said perimeter wall being continuously arcuate about a center point of said basal wall such that said cup has a circular shape;   said basal wall has a receiver being integrated therein, said receiver being centrally positioned on said basal wall, said receiver receiving said drive output of said weed trimmer such that said cup is rotated about said center point of said basal wall when said weed trimmer is turned on; and   said perimeter wall has an inwardly facing surface, said inwardly facing surface having a pair of engagement points thereon, said engagement points being positioned on opposite sides of said perimeter wall from each other.   
     
     
         3 . The assembly according to  claim 2 , wherein said coupler comprises:
 a disk having a first surface and a second surface; and   a pair of engagements, each of said engagements being coupled to and extending away from said first surface of said disk, each of said engagements being positioned on opposite sides of said disk from each other, each of said engagements releasably engaging a respective one of said engagement points on said inwardly facing surface of said perimeter wall of said cup having said disk lying on a plane being oriented coplanar to said basal wall of said cup.   
     
     
         4 . The assembly according to  claim 2 , wherein said coupler comprises:
 a disk having a first surface and a second surface;   a pair of engagements, each of said engagements being coupled to and extending away from said first surface of said disk, each of said engagements being positioned on opposite sides of said disk from each other, each of said engagements releasably engaging a respective one of said engagement points on said inwardly facing surface of said perimeter wall of said cup having said disk lying on a plane being oriented coplanar to said basal wall of said cup; and   a mating member being coupled to said second surface of said disk, said mating member completely covering said second surface, said mating member having an exposed surface with respect to said disk.   
     
     
         5 . The assembly according to  claim 4 , wherein said sanding disk has a primary surface and a secondary surface, said secondary surface being comprised of a fibrous material thereby facilitating said exposed surface of said mating member to releasably engage said secondary surface having said primary surface being exposed, said primary surface being comprised of an abrasive material. 
     
     
         6 . A stand up sander assembly being configured to be mounted to a weed trimmer for sanding a surface, said assembly comprising:
 a cup being mountable to a drive output of a weed trimmer such that said cup is rotated by said weed trimmer when said weed trimmer is turned on, said cup having a basal wall and a perimeter wall extending away therefrom, said perimeter wall being continuously arcuate about a center point of said basal wall such that said cup has a circular shape, said basal wall having a receiver being integrated therein, said receiver being centrally positioned on said basal wall, said receiver receiving said drive output of said weed trimmer such that said cup is rotated about said center point of said basal wall when said weed trimmer is turned on, said perimeter wall having an inwardly facing surface, said inwardly facing surface having a pair of engagement points thereon, said engagement points being positioned on opposite sides of said perimeter wall from each other;   a coupler being removably coupled to said cup, said coupler lying on a plane being oriented perpendicular to a rotational axis of said drive output, said coupler comprising:
 a disk having a first surface and a second surface; 
 a pair of engagements, each of said engagements being coupled to and extending away from said first surface of said disk, each of said engagements being positioned on opposite sides of said disk from each other, each of said engagements releasably engaging a respective one of said engagement points on said inwardly facing surface of said perimeter wall of said cup having said disk lying on a plane being oriented coplanar to said basal wall of said cup; and 
 a mating member being coupled to said second surface of said disk, said mating member completely covering said second surface, said mating member having an exposed surface with respect to said disk; and 
   a sanding disk being removably attached to said coupler thereby facilitating said sanding disk to be positioned against a surface to be sanded when said weed trimmer is manipulated, said sanding disk being comprised of an abrasive material thereby facilitating said sanding disk to sand the surface, said sanding disk having a primary surface and a secondary surface, said secondary surface being comprised of a fibrous material thereby facilitating said exposed surface of said mating member to releasably engage said secondary surface having said primary surface being exposed, said primary surface being comprised of an abrasive material.   
     
     
         7 . A weed trimmer sander system comprising:
 a weed trimmer having a drive output;   a cup being mountable to said drive output of said weed trimmer such that said cup is rotated by said weed trimmer when said weed trimmer is turned on, said cup having a basal wall and a perimeter wall extending away therefrom, said perimeter wall being continuously arcuate about a center point of said basal wall such that said cup has a circular shape, said basal wall having a receiver being integrated therein, said receiver being centrally positioned on said basal wall, said receiver receiving said drive output of said weed trimmer such that said cup is rotated about said center point of said basal wall when said weed trimmer is turned on, said perimeter wall having an inwardly facing surface, said inwardly facing surface having a pair of engagement points thereon, said engagement points being positioned on opposite sides of said perimeter wall from each other;   a coupler being removably coupled to said cup, said coupler lying on a plane being oriented perpendicular to a rotational axis of said drive output, said coupler comprising:
