Abstract

Speed Sand 90 is a device designed to quickly and efficiently create accurate ninety-degree angles while sanding new drywall. It may comprise two main parts: a replacement pad and a tool portion (a perpendicularly-angled mounting beam and manipulator securer). The replacement pad may be a ninety-degree sponge with two aggregated. The tool portion of the device may comprise plastic or other suitable durable material. A universal ball joint, designed to accept any standard corner flushing handle, can be located at the center-back portion of the tool. The replacement pad may attach to the perpendicularly-angled mounting beam with adhesive material. An attachable manipulator pole may also be used with the drywall corner sanding assembly to reach high vertical positions.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A drywall corner sanding assembly for use on interior corners comprising:
 a perpendicularly-angled mounting beam having two adjacent planar mounting surfaces joined at a right angle to each other;   a manipulator securer having a universal ball joint;   an attachable manipulator pole for reaching a greater vertical distance; and   at least one replacement abrasive pad;   wherein said manipulator securer is center-back-mounted to said perpendicularly-angled mounting beam for removable attachment to said attachable manipulator pole;   wherein said replacement abrasive pad is removably mounted to said two adjacent planar mounting surfaces on said perpendicularly-angled mounting beam;   wherein said drywall corner sanding assembly is used to simultaneously abrasively remove excess drywall compound from both a first and second side adjacent said interior corner.   
     
     
         2 . The drywall corner sanding assembly of  claim 1  wherein said replacement abrasive pad comprises an indivisible one-piece L-construction. 
     
     
         3 . The drywall corner sanding assembly of  claim 2  wherein said replacement pad comprises a ninety degree sponge with two aggregated surfaces at about 7 inches long and about ¾ inch thick. 
     
     
         4 . The drywall corner sanding assembly of  claim 1  wherein said perpendicularly-angled mounting beam is about 6¾ inches long and about ⅞ inch wide. 
     
     
         5 . The drywall corner sanding assembly of  claim 1  wherein said drywall corner sanding assembly comprises plastic. 
     
     
         6 . The drywall corner sanding assembly of  claim 1  wherein said universal ball joint is designed to accept at least one OEM corner flushing handle. 
     
     
         7 . The drywall corner sanding assembly of  claim 1  wherein said perpendicularly-angled mounting beam receives said replacement abrasive pad using a fastener. 
     
     
         8 . The drywall corner sanding assembly of  claim 7  wherein said fastener comprises at least one adhesive. 
     
     
         9 . The drywall corner sanding assembly of  claim 7  wherein said fastener comprises hook and loop fasteners. 
     
     
         10 . The drywall corner sanding assembly of  claim 3  wherein said ninety degree sponge with two aggregated surfaces comprises a flexible porous interior. 
     
     
         11 . The drywall corner sanding assembly of  claim 3  wherein said ninety degree sponge with two aggregated surfaces comprises a semi-flexible exterior. 
     
     
         12 . The drywall corner sanding assembly of  claim 3  wherein said ninety degree sponge with two aggregated surfaces is manipulatable such that simultaneous abrasive removal of excess drywall compound from both said first side adjacent and said second side adjacent said interior corner occurs when used. 
     
     
         13 . The drywall corner sanding assembly of  claim 12  wherein said ninety degree sponge with two aggregated surfaces is manipulatable such that abrasive removal of said excess drywall compound from said first side adjacent of said interior corner occurs. 
     
     
         14 . The drywall corner sanding assembly of  claim 12  wherein said ninety degree sponge with two aggregated surfaces is manipulatable such that abrasive removal of said excess drywall compound from said second side adjacent of said interior corner occurs. 
     
     
         15 . The drywall corner sanding assembly of  claim 12  wherein said ninety degree sponge with two aggregated surfaces is manipulatable such that simultaneous abrasive removal of said excess drywall compound from said interior corner does not cause gouging in either of said first side adjacent and said second side adjacent said interior corner. 
     
     
         16 . The drywall corner sanding assembly of  claim 1  wherein said interior corner comprises a ninety degree angle. 
     
     
         17 . The drywall corner sanding assembly of  claim 1  further comprising a slider-biasing-clip for engaging said attachable manipulator pole. 
     
     
         18 . The drywall corner sanding assembly of  claim 1  wherein said manipulator securer comprises a wedge profile, an opposed-facing inner slider track wherein a slider-biasing-clip can be moved to biasingly engage and/or disengage from said attachable manipulator pole. 
     
     
         19 . A plastic drywall corner sanding assembly and kit for use on interior corners comprising:
 a perpendicularly-angled mounting beam having dimensions of about 6¾ inches long and about ⅞ inch wide and having two outer adjacent planar mounting surfaces;   a manipulator securer having a universal ball joint designed to receive at least one OEM corner flushing handle, said manipulator securer further comprising a wedge profile, an opposed-facing inner slider track wherein a slider-biasing-clip can be moved to biasingly engage and/or disengage from an attachable manipulator pole when a distal end of said attachable manipulator pole is inserted in an aperture in said manipulator securer;   said attachable manipulator pole that is telescopic for reaching a greater vertical distance; and   at least one replacement abrasive pad having an indivisible one-piece L-construction forming a ninety degree sponge with two aggregated surfaces at about 7 inches long and about ¾ inch thick;   wherein said manipulator securer is center-back-mounted to said perpendicularly-angled mounting beam for removable attachment to said attachable manipulator pole;   wherein said replacement abrasive pad is removably mounted to said two adjacent planar mounting surfaces on said perpendicularly-angled mounting beam;   wherein said perpendicularly-angled mounting beam receives said replacement abrasive pad using a fastener such as adhesive, and/or hook and loop fasteners;   wherein said ninety degree sponge with two aggregated surfaces comprises a flexible porous interior and a semi-flexible exterior which is manipulatable such that simultaneous abrasive removal of excess drywall compound from both a first side adjacent and a second side adjacent an interior corner occurs when used and does not cause gouging in either of said first side adjacent and said second side adjacent said interior corner;   wherein said interior corner is ninety degrees; and   wherein said kit includes said perpendicularly-angled mounting beam with said manipulator securer, said attachable manipulator pole; and said at least one replacement abrasive pad.   
     
     
         20 . A method for using a drywall corner sanding assembly on interior corners comprising the steps of:
 attaching a replacement abrasive pad comprising an L-shaped sponge via a fastener to a surface of a perpendicularly-angled mounting beam via adhesive, and/or hook and loop fasteners;   inserting an attachable manipulator pole into a manipulator securer located on a back portion of said perpendicularly-angled mounting beam;   sliding a slider-biasing-clip in a track on said manipulator securer to biasingly engage to said attachable manipulator pole; and   sanding an interior corner of drywall such that simultaneous abrasive removal of excess drywall compound from both a first side adjacent and a second side adjacent said interior corner occurs when used and does not cause gouging in either of said first side adjacent and said second side adjacent said interior corner.
