Abstract

(57) [Problem] To provide a spatula that facilitates transmission of a force applied to the tip of a spatula member to a hand to reduce wrist fatigue and prevent damage to a base material. A gripping member is formed at a base end portion of a spatula member and bulged with a step along a length direction, and a palm is brought into contact with a surface of the spatula member and a gripping member of the spatula member. A non-slip is formed at a position where the fingertip abuts when gripped. The non-slip is a plurality of grooves provided along the length direction of the base end of the spatula member and the gripping member.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to a general-purpose spatula for applying an adhesive, putty, etc. to the surface of a wall surface, a ceiling, etc., and shaping the surface shape of the applied adhesive, putty, etc.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventionally, the lower part of a separate gripping member has elasticity in the wrinkle elongation (air bleeding) work when finishing cloth such as vinyl wallpaper and textile wallpaper, as well as applying adhesive and putty. A spatula with a metal spatula member attached or a spatula with a similar resin and a spatula member made of hard resin was used. When using these spatulaes, the gripper was gripped with one hand, and the adhesive, putty, etc. were applied while pressing and deforming the spatula application portion at the tip.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 However, in the former case, the projections may be damaged when smoothing the irregularities because the tip is made of steel plate, while the latter is made of hard resin spatula. There was no wrist fatigue because the grip was applied with one hand and the spatula at the tip was pressed and deformed before use. In addition, there was a feeling that the force applied to the tip of the spatula member was not easily transmitted to the hand because the spatula was separately provided.

[0004] Further, a resin plate-shaped spatula not provided with a gripping member is also known, but when used, a slightly sharp edge of the spatula comes into contact with a palm or the like. Working with strong force puts a burden on the palms, etc., and there were concerns that they could be injured.

[0005] The present invention has been made in view of these problems of the prior art, and the problem is that the wrist is not burdened and that it can be effectively used even near the uneven portion. It is another object of the present invention to provide a spatula that is light and easy to handle, and that can provide an appropriate elastic force to the spatula member and the application member.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The present invention has been made in order to solve the above-mentioned problem, and a spatula for application work is composed of a plate-shaped spatula member and a gripping member which is protruded with a step at an end of the spatula member. Done. The gripping member is a column-shaped bulge with respect to a plate-like spatula member, and the gripping member can be firmly gripped with a finger due to a step with the spatula member.

[0007] A non-slip is formed on the surface of the spatula member at a position where the fingertip comes into contact when the palm is brought into contact with the gripping member of the spatula member. More specifically, the slip stopper is formed by a plurality of grooves provided along the length direction of the gripping member. Alternatively, the pressing force can be adjusted by bringing another fingertip into contact with the slip stopper, so that an appropriate force can be applied to the tip of the spatula.

[Embodiment of the invention]

 FIG. 1 is a front perspective view of the spatula of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a front view of the spatula of the present invention. FIG. 3 is a right side view of the spatula of the present invention. 1 and 2, the spatula main body 1 includes a holding member 3, a spatula member 4, and a coating member 7.

In each of the drawings of the embodiment, a plate-shaped spatula member 4 is a member constituting substantially the entire function of the spatula, and is formed of an elastic hard synthetic resin or the like. In the illustrated example, the spatula member 4 is configured such that the lateral width at the distal end is longer than the lateral width at the proximal end by about 15 mm to 25 mm on one side, so that the proximal end on the gripping member 3 side described later is formed. The tip 4b is slightly tapered on the side of the tip 4b with respect to the portion 4a, thereby improving the workability such that a natural angle can be maintained during the leveling work on the corners. Further, a hanging hole 6 is formed on the base end side.

The coating member 7 is formed of a material softer than the spatula member 4, and includes a concave groove for fitting to one end edge along the length direction of the spatula member 4 at the leading edge thereof. FIG. 3 shows a state in which the fitting portion 8 of the coating member 7 is fitted to the tip of the spatula member 4 and a coating portion 9 extending from the fitting portion 8. Is shown. Note that an adhesive may be used for assembling the coating member 7.

The gripping member 3 is made of the same material as the spatula member 4, and is provided with a step 3 a at one end of the spatula member 4 so as to be integrally bulged in a columnar shape. In addition, two are provided at arbitrary positions on both sides for weight reduction.

A slip stopper 5 is provided on at least one surface of the spatula member 4, that is, on both surfaces in the illustrated example, at a position where a fingertip abuts. The sliding stopper 5 is provided in a direction perpendicular to the pressing direction of the fingertip so that the fingertip abuts when the gripping member 3 is gripped by the palm part, and the fingertip does not slide on the tip end side of the spatula member 4. That is, the gripping member 3 is formed by a plurality of grooves along the length direction.

In order to use the spatula 1 of the present invention, first, the gripping member 3 is gripped by the palm part, and the thumb is brought into contact with the slip stopper 5 formed on one surface of the spatula member 4 and the other finger is put on the other surface. It is used in contact with the slip stopper 5 formed in the above. At this time, since the gripping member 3 has a thickness, the spatula 1 can be maintained in a stable state, and each fingertip is positioned on the surface of the slip stopper 5, so that an appropriate force is applied during the work. Therefore, the coating and leveling work can be performed extremely smoothly. Further, since the gripping member 3 is provided with the step 3a, a more stable gripping state can be maintained by hooking any fingertip other than the thumb on the step 3a.

[Effect of the invention]

 In the present invention, as described in detail above, the spatula member of the spatula member of the spatula main body is tapered from the base end portion to the distal end portion, so that the spatula is accompanied. In addition, since the application part of the application member is made of a soft resin that can be elastically deformed, the wrist can be fatigued and the work of smoothing uneven surfaces can be facilitated. This is an epoch-making device that has the effect of preventing the glass from being damaged when wrinkling a film or the like affixed to the glass window of a car with a soft resin. .
