Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a wallpaper applicator for efficiently applying a wallpaper to a wall surface, a ceiling surface or the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, wallpaper is often used as an interior material for structures such as houses and buildings. Conventional wallpaper has a decorative surface on the front side and a sticking surface on the back side, and is usually wound in a roll shape. After cutting the coated wallpaper to an appropriate length, the wallpaper is pressed from one end side with a pressing brush and stuck to the wall surface or ceiling surface while the adhesion surface is in close contact with the wallpaper or ceiling surface.

[0003]

However, in the above-mentioned conventional method of applying wallpaper, it is relatively easy to apply the wallpaper to the wall surface, but when the wallpaper is applied to the ceiling surface, while holding the wallpaper with one hand, The wallpaper must be pasted with the other hand, and it takes skill to past the wallpaper, and even a skilled person, for example, takes about 10 minutes to past a wallpaper with a length of 10 m, and work efficiency is poor. There is a problem such as.

Also, since the wallpaper is applied while pressing it against the wall surface or the ceiling surface with a press brush or the like, if the pressing force varies, a part of the wallpaper expands. However, there is also a problem that the outer appearance is significantly impaired due to the meandering and a gap between the adjacent wallpaper.

The present invention has been made in order to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, and does not meander even in the case of long-sized wallpaper, and it is possible to paste the wallpaper efficiently even on the ceiling surface. The purpose is to provide a wallpaper applicator that can be used.

[0006]

In order to achieve the above object, the wallpaper applicator of the present invention comprises a hollow core body, an elastic layer provided on the outer periphery of the core body, and an outer peripheral surface of the elastic layer. The applicator main body is composed of the coating layer provided on and the wallpaper is applied to the applying surface by moving the applicator main body in the applying direction while pressing the wallpaper against the applying surface by the applying tool main body. It is the one.

With the above construction, the wallpaper can be pasted onto the pasting surface only by moving it in the pasting direction while pressing the wallpaper against the pasting surface by the pasting tool body, so that the wallpaper is pasted like a ceiling surface. Even in places that require skill, it is possible to apply wallpaper without requiring any skill, and since the work time is reduced by half compared to when pasting wallpaper while pressing with a conventional push brush etc., work efficiency is remarkably high. improves. In addition, since the wallpaper can be applied while pressing it evenly by the main body of the applicator, there is no stretch in the part of the wallpaper, and even when a long wallpaper is pasted, it does not meander, so that the adjacent wallpaper There is no need to worry that a gap will be created at the joint and the appearance will be impaired.

In order to achieve the above object, the wallpaper applicator of the present invention is one in which both ends of the core are formed to be slightly shorter than both ends of the elastic layer.

With the above construction, even if the sticking tool main body is accidentally dropped during work or the sticking tool main body is intentionally dropped after the work is completed, the end of the hard core body does not hit the floor surface. There is no need to worry about damaging.

In order to achieve the above object, the wallpaper applicator of the present invention is one in which a coating layer is formed of a resin film having a lubricity and the surface of the coating layer is formed with irregularities.

With the above structure, the frictional force generated between the coating layer and the wallpaper makes it easy and efficient to push out the air trapped between the wallpaper and the sticking surface or to spread the wrinkles on the wallpaper. You will be able to do well.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. 1 is an overall perspective view of the wallpaper applier, FIG. 2 is a cutaway perspective view of the same portion, FIG. 3 is a sectional view taken along the line AA of FIG. 1, and FIG. 4 is an enlarged view taken along the line BB of FIG. FIG. 5 is a sectional view and FIG. The wallpaper applicator main body 1 is formed in a cylindrical shape having an outer diameter that is easy for an operator to grip, for example, a diameter of about 100 mm, and the length thereof is slightly longer than the width of the standard-sized wallpaper 5, for example, about 1 m. There is.

The central portion of the sticking tool body 1 is formed by a core body 2 formed of a relatively hard pipe material such as a vinyl chloride pipe, and the sticking tool body 1 is lightened to improve workability. A thin pipe material is used for the body 2. Core 2
An elastic layer 3 made of foamed resin such as urethane resin is formed on the outer periphery of the. The elastic layer 3 imparts an appropriate pressing force to the wallpaper 5 when the applicator main body 1 is pressed against the wallpaper 5, so that even if the wall surface or the ceiling surface has irregularities (unevenness), the wall surface or the ceiling surface is evenly formed. The wallpaper 5 is attached so that the wall thickness is, for example, about 20 mm.

The elastic layer 3 is formed by winding a flat foam resin around the outer peripheral surface of the core 2 and adhering the mating surface 3a with an adhesive or heat fusion. The elastic layer 3 may be formed on the outer circumference of the core body 2 by molding a cylindrical body slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the body 2 with foamed resin and press-fitting the core body 2 into the cylindrical body. Layer 3
Both ends of the core body 2 are slightly longer than both ends of the core body 2 so that the ends of the core body 2 do not directly contact the floor surface even if the sticking tool main body 1 is dropped on the floor during work.

On the other hand, the outer peripheral surface of the elastic layer 3 is formed of a resin film having lubricity, and has a rough surface so that an appropriate frictional force between the elastic layer 3 and the wallpaper 5 can be obtained. A film for glass or the like that is attached to a substrate to function as frosted glass is a ready-made product (for example, Zangetsu SG-235.
Since it is commercially available as 7), it may be used. When mass-producing wallpaper applicators, the coating layer 4 is made into a tube shape with a resin film, and the same length as the elastic layer 3 is used. You may cut and use it. Next, the operation of the wallpaper applicator thus constructed will be described.

This wallpaper applicator can of course be used when the wallpaper 5 is applied to the wall surface, but since it exhibits an effect when the wallpaper 5 is applied to the ceiling surface, the action when the wallpaper 5 is applied to the ceiling surface is shown in FIG. Will be described with reference to. First, the back surface of the wallpaper 5 rolled into a roll is coated with glue using an unillustrated gluing device, cut into a suitable length, and then one end of the wallpaper 5 is positioned at the position where the ceiling surface is pasted. Stick one end of the wallpaper 5 on the ceiling surface.

After that, the wallpaper 5 hung down by the applicator body 1 held in both hands is pressed against the ceiling surface while holding the wallpaper 5 as shown in FIG. 5, and in this state, the applicator body 1 is attached in the direction of application of the wallpaper 5. The wallpaper 5 is attached to the ceiling surface while moving to C, but at this time, the applicator main body 1 is not rotated, and the frictional force between the wallpaper 5 and the coating layer 4 is used to confine between the wallpaper 5 and the ceiling surface. The wallpaper 5 can be attached to the ceiling surface without the need for skill by pushing out the generated air or attaching it while stretching the wrinkles formed on the wallpaper 5. Further, since the main body 1 of the applicator is pressed against the width of the wallpaper 5, a part of the wallpaper 5 does not stretch partially, and even if the wallpaper 5 is long, it does not meander. No gap is formed between the first and second electrodes.

In the above-mentioned embodiment, the surface of the coating layer 4 is rough, but it may be a smooth surface, and since the coating layer 4 is worn by friction with the wallpaper 5, a wear-resistant resin film is used. However, it may be replaced with a new coating layer 4 when worn. When mass-producing wallpaper applicators, the applicator main body 1 may be produced in a long size and cut into an appropriate length to form a wallpaper applicator, and the applicator main body 1 has a shape easy for an operator to grasp. If it is not limited to a cylinder,
It may be a polygonal cylinder or the like. Further, it goes without saying that the dimensions of each part described in the above embodiment are not limited to these values.

[0019]

As described in detail above, the present invention comprises a hollow core body, an elastic layer provided on the outer periphery of the core body, and a coating layer provided so as to cover the outer peripheral surface of the elastic layer. The wallpaper is attached to the attachment surface by configuring the attachment body and moving the attachment body in the attachment direction while pressing the wallpaper against the attachment surface with the attachment body. Even in places that require skill to paste wallpaper like this, you can paste wallpaper without requiring any skill, and since the work time is halved compared to pasting wallpaper while pressing it with a conventional push brush, Work efficiency is significantly improved.

Further, since the wallpaper can be applied while being pressed uniformly by the main body of the applicator, a part of the wallpaper is not stretched, so that it does not meander even when applying a long wallpaper. Therefore, there is no need to worry about creating a gap at the seam of adjacent wallpaper and damaging the appearance.Because both ends of the core body were formed slightly shorter than both ends of the elastic layer, the applicator body was accidentally dropped during work. In addition, even if the applicator body is intentionally dropped after the work, the end of the hard core body does not hit the floor surface, so there is no risk of damaging the floor surface.

Further, since the coating layer is formed by the resin film having the slipperiness and the surface of the coating layer is made uneven, the frictional force generated between the coating layer and the wallpaper causes a gap between the wallpaper and the sticking surface. It will be easier and more efficient to push out the trapped air and straighten the wrinkles on the wallpaper.
