Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a surface spatula with a handle device and a spatula blade releasably attached to the handle device, wherein the handle device is formed from a base body which is substantially parallel to a major axis of the spatula and is closable at its opposite ends respectively.
  • Such a surface spatula is out FR 2 969 192 and EP 2 137 364 known. and is used to fill and plaster large surfaces or smooth the material during these activities.
  • the surface spatula on a handle device which has a much greater length than depth and is shaped so that the surface spatula can be easily handled by hand, so that large parts of the palm, the fingers and the thumb to the Cling grip device and allow optimal power transmission.
  • the gripping device is designed as a hollow profile, which is firmly closed at its two opposite ends. On a transverse side of the gripping device, ie in the direction of the width, a spatula sheet is inserted into the gripping device. The spatula blade is seated in a retaining groove formed in the hollow profile, so that it can not move in any direction when using the surface spatula.
  • a spatula blade is screwed into the grip device and can only be solved with the aid of a tool and removed from the grip device.
  • a suitable tool must be kept constantly available.
  • the grip device can have permanently mounted closure caps with a tool holder.
  • the object of the present invention is therefore to develop a surface filler of the type mentioned in such a way that a change of the spatula sheet can be performed by the user largely without technical aids and injury.
  • the object is achieved in that the gripping device is closed at the opposite ends of the body, each with a releasably attached or openable closure device.
  • the respective end of the gripping device can be opened by means of the closure devices detachably mounted at both ends of the base body.
  • the spatula blade held in the grip device can then be grasped laterally and pulled out of the grip device laterally, ie in the longitudinal direction.
  • the main body has a holding groove, which is aligned parallel to the main axis of the spatula and is accessible from outside via a receiving slot parallel to the main axis of the spatula.
  • a further advantage of the present invention is that the retaining groove extends under intended use below the receiving slot and with a groove wall below adjacent to the receiving slot.
  • a further advantage of the present invention is that the putty blade has at least one projection on a first leaf surface which cooperates with the groove wall in the state of the putty blade mounted on the handle device.
  • the formation of the approach causes the stationary position of the introduced through the receiving slot in the retaining spatula.
  • the approach can be pushed through the receiving slot and snaps into the adjacent below the receiving slot groove wall of the retaining groove. This front groove wall blocks the path of the putty blade back so that it sits firmly in the retaining groove.
  • FIG. 1 is a surface spatula 1 shown schematically and in perspective in an exploded view.
  • the surface spatula 1 comprises a grip device 3, a spatula blade 5 and a first closure device 7.1 and a second closure device 7.2.
  • the closure devices 7.1 and 7.2 are in the in Fig. 1 illustrated embodiment designed as a closure cap.
  • the putty blade 5 has a greater length than depth and forms a major axis H over the length.
  • the putty blade 5 has a first blade end 5.2 and a second blade end 5.3 and at the working edge 5.1 has a thickness of usually about 0.3 to 1 , 00mm.
  • the strengths of the working edge 5.1 but can be below or above these dimensions.
  • the thickness present at the working edge 5.1 regularly extends over the entire spatula sheet 5 from the first sheet end 5.2 to the second sheet end 5.3, but may also be different in specific embodiments at different points of the spatula sheet 5.
  • the gripping device 3 has a basic body designed as a hollow profile in the present embodiment and is made of aluminum in the present preferred embodiment produced. In other embodiments, other profile variants of metal or also basic body made of wood can be used.
  • the cross section of the hollow profile of the grip device 3 is mushroom-shaped, with a, the "head” forming larger longitudinal oval 3.1 in the longitudinal direction (across the width) above and a smaller, the "foot” forming longitudinal oval 3.2 below and a both longitudinal oval connecting narrower stem 3.3.
  • the cross-section is not symmetrical and has a shorter projection of the "head” in the direction of putty blade 5 and a longer projection in the opposite direction.
  • This design corresponds to an ergonomically adapted shape to a human hand, so that the fingers can be curved in the front around the shorter projection of the "head” and the thumb can be curved around the longer projection of the "head” and the top of the "head” as far as possible the palm of a user rests.
  • the grip device 3 also has a large stabilizing surface 3.4.
  • the gripping device 3 and also the stabilizing surface 3.4 has a smaller width than the working edge 5.1 of the spatula 5.
  • the spatula 5 therefore has a side contour at the two opposite ends 5.2, 5.3, with which the spatula sheet 5 of the large width the working edge 5.1 is reduced to the smaller width of the stabilizing surface 3.4.
  • the first and second ends 5.2, 5.3 each have a profile that is slightly convergent from the working edge 5.1 in a first section 5.4 and then merges into a circular arc-shaped inward (concave) section 5.5. At this section 5.5 is followed by a circular arc-shaped section 5.6 in the opposite direction (convex) with a course perpendicular to the main axis.
  • the handle device 3 can be seen from below in a first embodiment.
  • Below the stabilizing surface 3.4 extends from the smaller longitudinal oval 3.2 ("foot") from a web 3.5.
  • the web 3.5, together with the underside of the stabilizing surface 3.4 defines a receiving slot 3.6 and a retaining groove 3.7.
  • the receiving slot 3.6 has a smaller width than the retaining groove 3.7.
  • the retaining groove 3.7 is therefore forward, towards putty blade 5 bounded by a first groove wall 3.8, which is adjacent to the receiving slot 3.6.
  • the gripping device 3 has a first grip end 3.10 and a second grip end 3.11 facing the cross section.
  • the retaining groove 3.7 and its design is ultimately the limiting factor for the thickness range (eg 0.3 to 1.0 mm) of the spatula 5 which can be inserted in one and the same base body of the grip device 3.
  • FIG. 3 the surface spatula 1 can be seen from below.
  • approaches 5.7 are formed in the present embodiment. These approaches 5.7 are in a first embodiment punches that form a steep leading edge toward the working edge 5.1 and an oblique rear in the opposite direction.
  • the distance between the leading edge of each lug 5.7 and an edge 5.8 opposite the working edge 5.1 corresponds to the distance between the first groove wall 3.8 and the second groove wall 3.9, so that a putty blade 5 inserted into the holding groove 3.7 is blocked in a direction transverse to the transverse axis.
  • the height of each approach 5.7 is dependent on the thickness of the spatula blade 5, ie the lower the thickness of a spatula blade, the higher the approach is 5.7.
  • the lugs 5.7 are formed only on one side / surface of the spatula 5. In a preferred embodiment, the lugs 5.7 are formed on both sides / surfaces of the putty blade 5, so that a user when changing putty leaves 5, for example, depending on their strengths, do not pay attention to the alignment of the putty blade 5 with respect to a top and bottom got to.
  • FIG. 5 With A and B, two variants of the preferred embodiment are shown in which the lugs 5.7 extend straight and directly opposite (A) or slightly curved and slightly offset (B) away from the putty blade 5 in both directions. These can be made by punching out the material of the spatula sheet 5. Laterally next to the lugs 5.7 are then in the spatula sheet 5 of the contour of the approaches 5.7 corresponding Recesses.
  • FIG. 6 a further variant of the preferred embodiment of approaches 5.7 is shown. These are arranged on both sides of the spatula blade 5 and are produced by punching the material of the spatula sheet in one direction or the other. The stamping then produces no recesses (holes) but only depressions on the side opposite the respective approach 5.7 side of the spatula sheet fifth
  • the first and second closure means 7.1, 7.2 are identical, but mirror-inverted.
  • the closure devices 7.1, 7.2 are preferably made of plastic.
  • the closing devices designed as closing caps 7.1, 7.2 are adapted to the cross section of the hollow profile of the handle device 3 and additionally additionally each have a finger-shaped extension piece 7.3, which extends in the mounted state on the handle device in the direction of spatula sheet 5 and the retaining groove 3.7 and covers the receiving slot 3.6.
  • the closure device designed as a closure 7.1 or 7.2 is shown with the inside.
  • On the inside of the closure device 7.1, 7.2 clamping webs are formed 7.4, which follow at least in sections at a distance of the material thickness of the hollow profile of the contour. In this way, the closure devices 7.1, 7.2 can be pressed under tension in the free ends of the hollow profile and sit there firm, but solvable. They can be removed with the fingers, largely without tools.
  • the user can at the laterally projecting beyond the grip device 3 greater width of the spatula sheet 5, so touch the first section 5.4 and / or second section 5.5 and pull the spatula laterally from the handle device 3 , This process is supported by the guidance of the spatula 5 in the receiving slot 3.6 and the second, rear groove wall 3.9.
  • the closure devices 7.1 or 7.2 may be formed captive with the main body of the handle device 3 in a particular embodiment. This captivity can be made in any form.
  • FIG. 4 the captive is achieved in a preferred embodiment by a two-piece closure device 7.1, 7.2.
  • An inner part 7.5 is identical with its outline with the outline of the hollow body of the handle device 3 and firmly wrapped in the same.
  • the inner part 7.5 is fixedly connected via a film hinge 7.6 with an outer part 7.7 and can be moved by means of the film hinge 7.6 for closing or opening and releasing the hollow body or the retaining groove 3.7 without the outer part 7.7 of the inner part 7.5 can solve.
  • a fixed position in the closed position can then be generated in the preferred embodiment by a possibly circumferential spring of the outer part 7.7 locking into a groove of the inner part 7.5 of the closing device 7.1 or 7.2.
