Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a spatula mainly used by an interior decorator to put wallpaper on a wall.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art When an interior contractor pastes wallpaper on a wall, the paste is applied to the back surface of the wallpaper and the wallpaper is attached to the wall. At that time, the unnecessary wallpaper protruding is cut out with a cutter, and a spatula is used to move the cutting edge of the cutter linearly. That is, in order to cut the wallpaper straight, a cutter is drawn along the spatula plate as a ruler. And the conventional spatula handle was provided with one hole for suspension. The handle had a substantially T-shape between the grip portion and the base, and the length of the base in the lateral direction was slightly shorter than or substantially equal to the length of the spatula plate.

[0003]

The conventional spatula has the above-mentioned structure, and has only one hole in the handle grip portion, so that the handle becomes heavy and causes fatigue. In addition, the interior contractor not only uses the laterally long portion of the spatula plate, but also uses the straight portion at the side end of the spatula plate. Attempting to pull the cutter along the side edge of the spatula plate has the disadvantage that the hand holding the cutter hits the side end of the base of the handle, making the operation difficult. Since the base of the handle also has the purpose of reinforcing the spatula plate so that it does not bend, the base is formed slightly thicker, which hinders the work.
Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a spatula that reduces the weight of a handle to suppress the occurrence of fatigue and prevents a hand holding a cutter from hitting a side end of a base even when a side end of a spatula plate is used. And

[0004]

According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a spatula plate and a handle, wherein the spatula plate is formed of a metal plate in a laterally long manner, and the handle is provided with a grip portion and a base end of the grip portion in a lateral direction. Including an extending base,
The spatula plate is a spatula connected to a base, and the grip portion is provided with at least three holes.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, in addition to the first aspect, the base of the handle does not extend over the entire length of the spatula plate, and a distance from a side end of the base to a side end of the spatula plate is at least. A configuration 3 cm apart is added.

[0006]

The present invention is configured as described above, and has at least three holes in the grip portion. Therefore, since the weight of the handle is reduced, the occurrence of fatigue can be suppressed as compared with the conventional product. In claim 2, since the distance from the side end of the base to the side end of the spatula plate is at least 3 cm, the hand hits the base of the handle when pulling the cutter along the side end of the spatula plate. It has the effect of not disturbing the work because there is no gap.

[0007]

Embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the drawings. The spatula plate 1 is made of a stainless steel plate and is formed in a horizontally long and substantially rectangular shape. One side end 2 is perpendicular to the length direction, while the other side end 3 is inclined with respect to the length direction. The tip 4 of the spatula plate is used as guide means for moving the blade edge of the cutter straight when cutting the wallpaper long, and the side ends 2 and 3 are used when cutting a narrow place. The inclined side end 3 is used in a place other than a right angle such as a side surface of a staircase.

There are various sizes of the spatula plate 1,
For example, the length of the tip is approximately 30 cm, and the length of one side end 2 is approximately 7 cm. However, it is a matter of course that the size of the spatula plate 1 is not limited to this, and various sizes having a common sense size are adopted according to applications. Various thicknesses of the spatula plate are used according to the thickness of the wallpaper. For example, a 1 mm one is used, but it is a matter of course that the numerical value is not limited to this.

The handle 5 is made of plywood and is formed in a substantially T-shape. Although the thickness is approximately 12 mm, it is a matter of course that the thickness is not limited to this value. It may be 8 mm, 10 mm, or 14 mm. Other numerical values may be used.

The slightly elongated grip 6 is provided with three holes 7, and a base 8 extends laterally at the base end of the grip 6. The length of the grip 6 is approximately 11 cm and the length of the base 8 is approximately 17 cm. However, it goes without saying that the size of the pattern is not limited to this value. In addition, the gripper 6
Of course, the ratio of the length of the base 8 to the length of the base 8 is not limited to this ratio.

The base 8 of the handle is provided with a groove having a width in which the spatula plate 1 can be inserted, and the spatula plate 1 is fitted into this groove. Then, the spatula plate 1 and the handle 5 are firmly connected by the rivets 11.

The distance between the side end 2 of the spatula plate and the side end 9 of the base,
The distance between the side end 3 of the spatula plate and the side end 10 of the base is approximately 6 cm. These distances are not limited to these values, and may be any value as long as it is 3 cm or more. That is, 4c
m or 5 cm, or 7 cm or 8 cm. However, this value is preferably up to about 9 cm.

As described above, the handle 5 is substantially T-shaped, but the grip 6 is slightly inclined toward one side end 2.
The other side end of the spatula plate is also inclined at substantially the same angle so as to correspond to the inclination of the grip portion 6. This involves, for example, grasping the gripper 6 with the left hand, addressing the wallpaper such that the inclined side edge 3 of the spatula plate is at the top, and moving the cutter along the side edge 3 to cut the wallpaper. This is because your hands do not get tired. That is, when holding the gripper 6 with the left hand and cutting the wallpaper above the head horizontally along the side edge 3,
Since the elbow of the arm having the grip portion 6 rises so as to project in the lateral direction, the entire arm turns clockwise. If at that time, if the spatula is a perfect T-shape and both ends of the spatula plate are also perpendicular to the length direction, the gripping part 6 and the side end 3 are also turned according to the turning of the arm to be in a state of falling to the right. turn into. Therefore, in order to prevent such a situation, the gripper 6 and the side end 3 are set to the upper right beforehand when the spatula is gripped with the left hand, and the gripper 6 is turned when the arm is turned clockwise. And the side end 3 also turns so that it is just horizontal. If the gripper 6 and the side end 3 are not inclined, the wrist must be bent unnaturally in order to return the horizontal side edge 3 which has turned to the lower right to the horizontal when the arm is turned. It causes fatigue.
