InventHelp Inventor Develops Curved Platen for Belt Sanders (CHK-6002)

PITTSBURGH, Aug. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- "As a professional finish carpenter, I was frustrated with the standard flat platen on the bottom of a belt sander and its inability to be used on rounded surfaces without accidentally gouging the wood," said an inventor, from Isanti, Minn., "so I invented the CURVED PLATEN. My design would create a rounded bottom for the rotating sanding belt to better access and sand concave curved surfaces."

The patent-pending invention provides improved finishing of curved wooden surfaces using a belt sander. In doing so, it would offer the curvature needed to neatly access and sand rounded concave surfaces without any gouging. As a result, it saves time and effort, and it allows for high-quality results. The invention features a strong and reliable design that is easy to use so it is ideal for finish contractors, do-it-yourselfers, etc. Additionally, a prototype is available.

The original design was submitted to the Chicago sales office of InventHelp. It is currently available for licensing or sale to manufacturers or marketers.
