US Patent:

7112128, Sep 26, 2006
Filed:

Aug 11, 2005
Appl. No.:

11/201743
Inventors:

Jon A. Kirschhoffer - White Bear Lake MN, US
Eric R. Cybulski - Woodbury MN, US
Ryan Patrick Simmers - Cottage Grove MN, US
Bernard A. Gonzalez - St. Paul MN, US
Erik J. Johnson - St. Paul MN, US
Assignee:

3M Innovative Properties Company - St. Paul MN
International Classification:

B24B 45/00
US Classification:

451499, 451525
Abstract:

A hand-held, manually-operated sanding tool for use with a replaceable sheet-like abrasive material, such as sandpaper, includes a base member and one or more clamping mechanisms pivotally connected with opposed ends of the base member. The clamping mechanism(s) include a tensioning member arranged to slidably interface with a corresponding contact surface provided at the end of the base member to tighten the sheet-like abrasive material as it is installed on the tool. Further, the tensioning member positions a leading edge thereof so as to minimize possible harmful contact with a user's finger(s) during loading of the abrasive material.

US Patent:

7144300, Dec 5, 2006
Filed:

Dec 29, 2005
Appl. No.:

11/275390
Inventors:

Eric R. Cybulski - Woodbury MN, US
Ryan Patrick Simmers - Cottage Grove MN, US
Jon A. Kirschhoffer - White Bear Lake MN, US
Assignee:

3M Innovative Properties Company - St. Paul MN
International Classification:

B24B 23/00
US Classification:

451 28, 451354, 451523, 451525
Abstract:

A hand-held, manually-operated sanding tool for use with a replaceable sheet of abrasive material includes a base member and a clamping mechanism. The base member defines first and second ends, a bottom surface extending between the first and second ends, a contact surface formed opposite the bottom surface and extending from the first end, and at least one tooth extending from the contact surface. The clamping mechanism is pivotally connected to the base member at a pivot point, defines a front section opposite the pivot point, and is movable about the pivot point between an open position, in which the front section is spaced from the contact surface for receiving an end portion of a sheet of abrasive material, and a closed position, in which the clamping mechanism is more proximate the contact surface and the front section is more proximate the at least one tooth.

US Patent:

7591715, Sep 22, 2009
Filed:

Aug 11, 2005
Appl. No.:

11/201763
Inventors:

Eric R. Cybulski - Woodbury MN, US
Jon A. Kirschhoffer - White Bear Lake MN, US
Ryan Patrick Simmers - Cottage Grove MN, US
Assignee:

3M Innovative Properties Company - St. Paul MN
International Classification:

B24B 23/00
US Classification:

451354, 451514, 451524
Abstract:

A hand-held, manually-operated sanding tool including a base member, a clamping mechanism, and a tab. The clamping mechanism is pivotally mounted to the base member, in alignment with a contact surface thereof such that the clamping mechanism pivots between a closed position and an open position in which a gap is defined between the clamping mechanism and the contact surface. The tab extends at least partially between the contact surface and the clamping mechanism, and establishes a stop surface that positively positions an edge of a sheet of abrasive material relative to an end of the base member as part of a loading operation.
