Patent ID: 7364501

Claim:
A sanding block, which comprises: a compressible core having at least one pair of abrasive sides characterized such that an abrasive material is adhered to said sides substantially along the surface thereof, at least one uncoated side forming part of a juncture area defined between said pair of sides which does not have said abrasive material adhered thereto and two end surfaces displaced from one another and each connecting said sides and wherein each end surface does not have the abrasive material adhered thereto such that said abrasive material does not run continuously about said sides and said end surfaces of said core thereby enabling said sides to be readily compressed toward one another and wherein a trailing edge of one of said abrasive sides and said uncoated side are chamfered to provide a chamfer spanning a length of said trailing edge and said juncture area thereby providing a tapered thickness of abrasive grit along said trailing edge on said one abrasive side and wherein said chamfer trailing edge is formed by one of cutting and shaving after said abrasive material is adhered to said abrasive sides.
