Appeal No. 1999-0931 Application 08/772,861 block 12 of wood (Fig. 4) slidably movable within a base element 11 (Fig. 2) between two limits of movement determined by the positioning of pins 32 on the cutter block that are movable within slots 22 in the opposite end walls of the base element. In each of the two positions, sandpaper can be lifted and torn against the serrated edge 25 of the cutter block to obtain a selected size of sandpaper. On the other hand, the Fischer patent teaches a stencil for cutting sandpaper. The stencil 10 (Figs. 1 through 4) is formed from a sheet of plastic material having a planar top surface 12 and a planar bottom surface 14, with corner lips 16, 18, 20, and 22 extending downwardly from the bottom surface forming a recess within which sandpaper sheets 80 to be cut are placed (Figs. 3 and 4). Complete cuts of the sandpaper can be made through slots 60 or 62. Further, primary cuts of the sandpaper can be effected through the series of slots 64 and 66, followed by use of the straight edge 28 placed adjacent these primary cuts so that a cut can be made across the complete sheet of sandpaper. 5Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
