Benefits of technology
The invention is a special sanding pad that automatically adjusts to the surface being sanded. This prevents the pad from sanding too deep or uneven surfaces. The pad can sand all surfaces evenly without needing adjustments.
Problems solved by technology
If there is a rounded or irregular area, then the current sanding pad will cut the high area too much and the low area too little.
When one takes on the task of sanding surfaces that curve or that are uneven, then he or she runs the risk of sanding too deeply on rounded or irregular surfaces.

Embodiment Construction
[0008]The present invention relates to a contouring sanding pad that conforms to the shapes of a surface as it's being used. The components consist of a stainless steel pad 1, two outer pivot arms at each end 2L & R and 5L & R, two inner pivot arms on each side 4L & R and 3L & R, an inner support bracket 6, and a light-weight handle 7 (or interchangeable pivoting accessory if attached to a power sander, which could be, but would not be limited to air or electric power). The pivot arms and brackets are comprised of steel. All the components listed as part of my invention include but are not limited to the materials of which they are comprised. Measurements of the aforementioned components may vary depending on the desired size of the tool. Any connections described in this application may include any known adhesives or connectors. The steel pad 1 is at the base. The pressure dispersing system, composed of steel pivot arms 2L & R, 5L & R, 3L & R, and 4L & R attaches to the top of the ...

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.
Description
STATEMENT REGARDING FEDERALLY SPONSORED RESEARCH OR DEVELOPMENT[0001]Not applicable.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]The contouring sanding pad pertains to but is not limited to the automotive industry and industries, which require the use of a sanding tool. A regular sanding pad is straight and has no potential to bend easily, but my invention bends and conforms automatically. So-called adjustable pads require manual adjustments, which cause slow-down in production, since one must stop to adjust the sanders' parts.[0003]The current sanding pad does not conform to changing surface areas. If there is a rounded or irregular area, then the current sanding pad will cut the high area too much and the low area too little. My invention adds the mechanism needed to allow the pad to cut high and low areas, or irregular and rounded surfaces, evenly at the same time. It allows a person to apply even pressure effectively.BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE CONTOURING SANDING PAD[0004]The objective of the inve...
