Sanding screen device
A sanding device, for, e.g., cosmetic and finishing applications, is provided. The sanding device includes a wire mesh having a plurality of apexes, the apexes having an abrasive affixed thereto. The wire mesh forms a substantially planar surface with a bent perimeter section. The sanding device further includes a rim made from a plastic material, the plastic material capping the bent perimeter section of the wire mesh and further extending from the bent perimeter section. The wire mesh and the rim defining a shallow bowl shape. The sanding devices also includes a carrier shell or grip received and captured with the bowl shape.
1. An apparatus comprising:
a grip component;
a sanding screen layer fixed to the grip component and having an exterior surface and a perimeter edge defining a complementary shape to the grip component; and
a rim extending about the grip and encapsulating the perimeter edge of the sanding screen layer,
wherein the sanding screen layer includes a sheet of a resin material and a wire mesh, the exterior surface of the sanding screen layer including a plurality of exposed outer apexes of the wire mesh free of the resin material, the sanding screen layer further including an abrasive material bonded to the exposed outer apexes of the wire mesh across the exterior surface, wherein there is at least one through aperture extending through the grip component and the sanding screen layer, the through aperture configured to provide a path for water to pass.
2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the sanding screen layer has a lip including the perimeter edge, the exterior surface extending over a convex exterior of the sanding screen layer at the lip.
3. The apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the sanding screen layer and the rim define a bowl shape.
4. The apparatus of claim 3 , wherein the rim includes vinyl material.
5. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the resin material includes silicone material.
6. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the grip component is made of a non-porous material.
7. A cosmetic sanding device comprising:
a sanding screen including a sheet of a resin material and a wire mesh, the wire mesh having a plurality of apexes extending outside of the resin material across an exterior surface of the sanding screen, the apexes having an abrasive affixed thereto; the exterior surface of sanding screen having a substantially planar section and a bent perimeter section;
a rim made from a plastic material, the plastic material capping the bent perimeter section of the sanding screen and further extending from the bent perimeter section, the sanding screen and the rim defining a shallow bowl shape; and
a carrier shell being received and captured with the bowl shape, wherein there is at least one through aperture extending through the carrier shell, the through aperture configured to provide a path for water pass.
8. The cosmetic sanding device of claim 7 , wherein the resin material includes silicone material.
9. The cosmetic sanding device of claim 7 , wherein the resin coating is a polyester.
10. The cosmetic sanding device of claim 8 , wherein the carrier shell is made from urethane.
11. The cosmetic sanding device of claim 10 , wherein the carrier shell comprises an upper surface and a bottom surface where the bottom surface of the shell is adjacent to the wire mesh.
