Definitions

  • the invention relates to tools for reworking joints which are filled with permanently elastic joint compound, in particular plastic compound.
  • the excess joint material can often be very difficult to smooth or remove.
  • the spatula or similar aids can be used as tools. At edges, corners or other inaccessible places, however, processing with these tools is not possible or only with great difficulty because the shape and dimensions of the tools do not allow smoothing out at unfavorable points.
  • the tools are difficult to handle even on flat surfaces, since they usually have a handle that is gripped with the whole hand. Some tradesmen therefore prefer to use their own fingers to smooth the grout. However, the inaccessible areas can only be insufficiently worked with the fingers.
  • Another problem is that the known tools absorb the jointing compound poorly in the sense that it falls off the tool again during the smoothing process and thereby contaminates parts in the environment, for example tiles.
  • crepe tapes are often used, which are attached to the edge of the joint and removed after the joint has been smoothed. This often causes the joint edges to become uneven or smeared. In addition, even with careful work, it cannot be excluded that the joint compound will crumble off the adhesive tape and the tiles will become dirty or fall into the newly smoothed joint.
  • the invention has set itself the task of specifying a tool with which joints can be smoothed with simple handling and with the excess joint material can be removed exactly and without further aids.
  • the object is achieved in that the tool is a flat plate with a substantially constant thickness and with a peripheral edge which projects on both sides perpendicular to the plate plane and which in turn consists of three adjoining edges, two edges being straight and one edge being arcuate runs, with the two straight edges and the longer of the two straight edges and the curved edge enclose an acute angle.
  • the tool has corners with angles that are smaller than 90 ° so that edges, which are usually rectangular in buildings, can also be processed effortlessly. As is known, this is the case with triangles at at least two corners, which is why the tool approximately has the shape of a triangle Has.
  • One edge of the tool is bent, which gives the machined joint an inward curvature due to the smoothing. Due to the circumferential edge, the excess, stripped joint material is spoon-like absorbed by the tool, which prevents the joint material from being deposited again on tiles or other parts adjacent to the joint.
  • the tool is reinforced by the edges, whereby the plate is relatively hard at the edge and there is maximum force development without the flexibility of the tool suffering, since it is relatively thin and soft on the inside and can therefore be optimally adapted by bending.
  • the shape of the tool is designed so that the joints can be optimally reworked even in inaccessible places and that the tool is easy and effortless to use.
  • the joints are razor-sharp and precisely removed without the surrounding tiles becoming dirty.
  • the use of masking tape for masking the joint edges can be omitted, which means a considerable saving in work.
  • the curved edge is convexly curved, so that the tool has a simple and compact design.
  • the arc-shaped edge is shaped so that the distance of the arc-shaped edge from the longer straight edge increases continuously from the common corner of the said edges in the direction of the shorter straight edge, i. H. the curved edge has no bulges, which means that the width of the tool is not unnecessarily increased.
  • the two edges can thus form a corner or preferably merge into one another in an arc.
  • a right angle between these edges is expedient in order to enable simple machining of joints in right-angled corners.
  • the radius of the arc lies approximately in the region of half the width of typical joints of the material to be processed, so that attractive, quarter-circle joint surfaces can be designed with it.
  • the end face of the edge preferably runs completely or partially perpendicular to the plate plane.
  • this embodiment of the invention has the advantage that very narrow surfaces are created which allow the joints to be smoothed even in areas which are difficult to access.
  • the tool with the vertically running part of the edge end face can be placed flat against the joint, so that even minor damage to the edge, which more or less inevitably occurs after long use of the tool, does not affect the work result.
  • the outside of the edge merges into an edge in its top and bottom.
  • the edge cuts material that protrudes from the joint in such a way that a smooth and attractive joint surface is created.
  • Particularly suitable is an edge that runs perpendicular to the plate plane and merges at a right angle in the top and bottom sides parallel to the plate plane, since the edge that is created in this way wears only little and guarantees a good work result even with minor damage.
  • the material for the tool is a thermoplastic or elastomer in order to achieve sufficient flexibility, sufficient strength at the edge and abrasion resistance.
  • edges are also expediently adapted to manual use.
  • the drawing shows a schematic representation of a tool according to the invention with a view of a plate plane (1) which is surrounded by a peripheral edge (2), which in turn consists of a longer straight edge (3), a shorter straight edge (4) and one curved edge (5) is formed so that approximately the shape of a triangle is formed.
  • the corner between the longer straight edge (4) and the curved edge is rounded and is as well as the angle enclosed by the two straight edges (3, 4).
  • the outside of the circumferential edge (2) runs perpendicular to the plate plane (1) and merges at a right angle into the top and bottom of the edge (2), so that a further edge is created with which excess material wipes off well from a joint leaves.
