spatula

The innovation relates to a spatula with a spatula blade attached to a handle.

Well-known spatulas of the above type are used for leveling or scraping off old colors or the like. or for smoothing or wiping off excess material from or on surfaces. For the well-known spatula or also called spatula is characteristic, that they have a handle mostly made of a round wood and one embedded in it, more or less Have a spatula blade with a wide area and a straight spatula edge. Through this its scope is essentially limited to flat surfaces, of which paint applications or the like. thus relatively well puttied or occasionally

also lent materials applied to such surfaces / ground. For material removal or order On the other hand, the well-known spatulas are practically useless in curved surfaces because they are only used in practically linear contact with the relevant Area.

De? NflUBrung is therefore based on the task » To create a spatula that is particularly suitable for filling work to be carried out on curved surfaces is suitable, especially also allows cylindrical, rounded surfaces to be smoothed well * This task is in the case of a spatula of the type mentioned at the outset, according to the invention, solved in that the handle from an essentially V-shaped bent spring clip and the spatula made of a flexible metal, in particular there is hardened steel strip between the free, angled leg ends of the Spring clip is fastened stretched. In this way you get to a spatula, its ribbon-shaped blade more or less bent by compressing the V-shaped, resilient handle can be so that they are the curved machining surface can adapt as much as possible. The new spatula is therefore mainly for curved cylindrical surfaces Body provided with surfaces, such as pipe material and the like in particular, are suitable, which are therefore comfortable can be puttied off.

According to a further feature of the innovation, the latter is advantageous on the V-shaped spring clip to be determined in different spreading positions Clamping element provided. This can prevent a corresponding weakening of the operating hand

or the latter are relieved / since the expansion force effect of the spring clip can be fully absorbed by the clamping element. The clamping element is advantageous from a substantially C-shaped profiled clamping loop, which on the outside with a clamping corrugation, corrugation or toothing provided The spring clip leg engages and compresses it to a greater or lesser extent depending on the shift position. The clamping loop, which is expediently made of a C-shaped curved wire, can be attached to its inner ends be bent back inward so far that the spring clip in its maximum, the extended position of the flexible steel band corresponding spread position with its bow legs. So while normally the spring clip legs with their outer sides on the surrounding outer rounded parts of the clamping loop apply, at least whenever the flexible steel band present between the temple ends is arched accordingly, the spring clip legs from the inner rounded parts of the clamping loop in their correspondingly further shifting position also pressed outwards and clamped in its outermost spread position be, whereby the steel strip is held in its stretched position, thus the spatula then also for Machining flat surfaces can easily be used.

In the drawing, an advantageous embodiment of the putty made according to the innovation is shown. It shows

Fig. 3 is a sectional view of the spring clip handle with the clamping loop surrounding them, namely when they are more or less strongly compressed Spring clip legs *

The spatula shown consists of the essentially V-shaped bent which forms the handle Spring clip 1 and the flexibleii forming the spatula blade hardened steel band 2, which is between the free, obliquely angled leg ends 1 'of the spring clip is unstretched attached. In their area 1 ″ facing the steel strip 2, the spring legs step wider curved apart, so that there is an overall approximately cup-shaped profile for the spring clip 1. Of the The spring clip is advantageously made of steel round wire material.

The flexible steel band 2 is wound with its ends 2 'around the angled spring clip leg ends 1'. In order to prevent the steel band ends from being stripped off the spring clip leg ends I ¹ , the latter are pressed flat at their front ends protruding beyond the steel band winding ends 2 'to form a sliding stop 1'''. The steel band 2 is provided with notches 2 '''at its fastening ends and protrudes with its upper spatula edge 2''in between over the front ends or flattened displacement stops 1 "of the spring clip legs. The spatula ^{edge 2 1} can both run smoothly in itself and also be provided with a toothing, not shown, which in individual cases both for the removal and application of paint, plaster or the like. on curved or flat surfaces can be advantageous. In any case, the flexible steel band 2 and the spring clip 1 allow the

by its more or less wide compression, the steel strip 2 in a correspondingly different manner strongly curved shape can be brought into a concave as well as convex shape, like that in Fig. 1 is shown in dashed lines.

To avoid fatigue of the flexible spring clip 1 in its more or less compressed state To avoid encompassing human operating hand, the latter is different on the spring clip Clamping element allowing to determine spreading positions in the form of an essentially C-shaped profile Clamp loop 3 available. This appropriately made of appropriately bent runi wire clamping loop 3 engages over the spring clip legs which are provided on their outer sides with a clamping corrugation 4 or corrugation or toothing and allows them to be compressed more or less strongly depending on the displacement position of the clamping loop j. The clamping corrugation 4 present on the spring legs is in each case on the inside on the outer one Rounding 3 'of the clamping loop 3.

As can be seen in particular in FIG. 3, the inner ends 3 ^'1 of the C-shaped wire loop 3 are ready bent back inwards, that are able to abut the spring bracket legs also in them, in the extreme, in Fig. 1 fully drawn displacement position of the clamping strap 3, in which they, with their inner angled ends 3 ¹ ', hold the spring clip legs in their outermost spread position and thus also the steel strip 2 in its extended position.

In the practical handling, the flexible steel band 2 adapts to a curved surface when pressed

2 ¹¹ or with its lower edge 2 under the application layer of the surface and thus allows large-area putty, whereby both the work result and the working time can be improved accordingly. The same is the case when it is used to apply or spread leveling compound on a curved surface.
