EXPANSIBLE SANDING BLOCK EXHIBITING OBLIQUE EXTENDING SURFACES
First Claim
1. A sanding block for supporting an exteriorly mounted looped sanding belt, comprising:
- a base;
a cover engageable with said base to collectively define a three-dimensional article exhibiting exterior surfaces for supporting the sanding belt; and
a trigger extending between abutting locations of said base and cover, said trigger being displaced in a first lateral direction to lengthwise displace said cover away from said base, said trigger displacing in a second and opposite lateral direction to reverse displace said cover inwardly towards said base.

Abstract
A sanding block for supporting an exteriorly mounted looped sanding belt having an elongated and planar shaped base. A planar shaped cover exhibits first and second oblique extending surfaces and, upon engaging with the base by a plurality of mating tabs and slots, collectively defines a three-dimensional article for supporting thereupon the looped sanding belt. A trigger exhibits a three-dimensional rectangular shape and extends laterally across a widthwise defined opening in the base in communicating fashion with an end surface associated with the cover, such that the trigger is positioned between the base and cover. The trigger is displaced in a first lateral direction to lengthwise displace the cover away from the base, the trigger displacing in a second and opposite lateral direction to reverse displace the cover inwardly towards the base.

12. A sanding block for supporting an exteriorly mounted looped sanding belt, comprising:
-
a substantially elongated and planar shaped base having a first end and a second end; a substantially elongated and planar shaped cover exhibiting at least first and second oblique extending surfaces, each of said base and cover further comprising interengaging surfaces upon which are defined a plurality of mating tabs and slots and by which, upon engagement, collectively define a three-dimensional article for supporting thereupon the looped sanding belt; and a trigger exhibiting a substantially three-dimensional rectangular shape and extending laterally across a widthwise defined opening in said base in communicating fashion with an end surface associated with said cover, such that said trigger is positioned between said base and cover, said trigger being displaced in a first lateral direction to lengthwise displace said cover away from said base, said trigger displacing in a second and opposite lateral direction to reverse displace said cover inwardly towards said base. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A three-dimensional sanding article for supporting thereupon an exteriorly mounted looped sanding belt, said article comprising:
-
a first component and a second interengageable and slidably traversable component collectively defining a three-sided article for supporting the sanding belt; and a trigger extending between abutting locations of said first and second components, said trigger being displaced in a first direction to lengthwise displace said components in extensible fashion, said trigger displacing in a second and opposite direction to reverse displace said components in collapsing fashion.
