Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a tool for applying adhesive to the floor surfaces of buildings, etc., and to road surfaces.

[Conventional technology]

Flooring materials such as carpet, hard or soft vinyl tiles, ceramic tiles, linoleum, etc. are pasted on the floors of buildings such as houses, offices, factories, corridors, roads, etc. for interior and exterior decoration and aesthetic purposes. It is worn.

The flooring material is attached to the floor surface by applying an adhesive onto the floor surface and pressing the flooring material thereon. At this time, adhesives used include liquid reactive adhesives such as epoxy resins, solution-type adhesives in which polymers such as polyvinyl acetate and chloroprene rubber are dissolved in organic solvents or water, polyvinyl acetate, synthetic rubber, There are emulsion-type adhesives that emulsify acrylic acid ester resins, etc.

When attaching flooring materials, the adhesive described above has a relatively high viscosity and it is necessary to apply the adhesive thickly and in a wavy manner to the surface to be coated. It is performed manually using a triangular plate-shaped tool. A skilled worker who attaches flooring materials can apply the adhesive by skillfully manipulating the trowel and drawing a horizontal figure eight shape on the surface to be coated.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

Conventional adhesive application tools such as comb trowels require workers to work in awkward positions, such as bending over, and when using adhesives that contain organic solvents, evaporated organic solvents may be deposited near the floor. There is a risk that it will accumulate and cause undesirable results in terms of occupational health, such as adversely affecting the health of workers. Furthermore, in the coating operation using a trowel, the coating width is narrow and the coating speed is slow, resulting in poor working efficiency.

An object of the present invention is to provide an adhesive application tool that eliminates the above-mentioned problems, allows workers to work in a comfortable posture, and does not cause any problems in terms of occupational hygiene.

[Means for solving problems]

The adhesive applicator of the present invention consists of an applicator plate and an applicator plate shank, which are used to spread adhesive widely over the surface of a building. It is characterized by having a rotating device for its axis on the plate-side bent portion.

As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the coating plate shank may be provided with a length adjusting device in the longitudinal direction of the shank.

Another preferred embodiment of the present invention is an applicator in which a grip for controlling the direction of the applicator plate is pivotally attached to the applicator plate shank.

As another aspect of the present invention, the application plate is a trowel plate,
and a supporting plate that connects the plate to the shank.
The applicator may have a trowel plate removably fixed to a support plate.

In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the applicator may have an applicator in which the applicator plate shank has a grip portion for controlling the direction of the applicator plate at one end opposite to the applicator plate side.

[Effect]

The adhesive applicator 1 of the present invention operates as follows.

In the adhesive applicator held by the left and right hands of the worker by the upper part of the shank and the grip part 3, the grip part 3 provided at the upper end of the shank 4 is
Since it is linked to the shank 4 and the coating plate 2, the direction of the coating plate 2 can be controlled by the movement of the grip portion 3.

When applying adhesive, a worker moves the applicator like a broom. A rotation device 5 is provided at a bending portion of the shank on the coating plate side, and the coating plate 2 is freely rotated around the shank axis of the bending portion. The rotating device allows the applicator to be moved and reversed without leaving the floor surface and the tip of the applicator plate 2 almost apart.

[Effect of idea]

The adhesive applicator of the present invention provides the following effects.

(a) Since it has a shank and can be adjusted to the height of the worker, the worker can apply the adhesive to the floor etc. in a comfortable position without having to bend over or bend down. Can be applied to building surfaces. In addition, it is possible to reduce the adverse effects of organic solvent vapor that remains near the floor surface.
Furthermore, it is possible to prevent the clothes of the worker from becoming soiled by the adhesive during the work.

(b) Since the adhesive applicator of the present invention can be operated skillfully in the same way as a conventional kushigote, adhesive can be applied to floors etc. with good accuracy. Moreover, the width of the coating (applied width) with one stroke with a conventional kushigote is approximately 120 mm.
cm, but with the applicator of this invention,
It can be spread over 150 to 180 cm, and the application speed is fast, increasing work efficiency.

〔Example〕

The applicator of the present invention will be specifically explained with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2 showing an embodiment thereof.

The adhesive applicator 1 consists of an applicator plate 2 and its rod-shaped shank 4. The shank 4 is bent into a substantially L-shape at the end on the coating plate side. At the bent end of the shank 4, the shank 4 is joined to the coating plate surface at a certain angle. Here, the bending angle of the shank and the angle between the shank and the application plate are:
It can be changed depending on the type, shape, and size of the applicator and the type of surface to be coated. The other end of the shank 4 is formed into a substantially J-shape, and the gripping portion 3 is attached thereto.
is provided so as to be substantially perpendicular to the shank axis.

A rotation device 5 is provided at a bent portion of the shank 4 on the coating plate side. This rotation device 5 allows the first
As shown in the figure, the applicator plate 2 is in the direction of arrows A and A', or the shank 4 is in the direction of arrows B and
It can be rotated in the direction of B'. An example of the structure of the rotation device 5 is shown in FIG. This example device consists of a large-diameter shank tube 5a and a small-diameter shank tube 5b, and the small-diameter shank tube 5b is fitted inside the large-diameter shank tube 5a and is rotatably attached.

The coating plate 2 in the present invention is joined to one end of the shank 4 at a constant angle to the coating plate surface or its extended surface. The shape and dimensions of the applicator plate can be changed depending on the type of surface to be coated, the use of the applicator, etc. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the application plate 2 is composed of a trowel plate 2c and support plates 2a and 2b that connect the plate to a shank, and the trowel plate 2c can be detachably fixed to the support plates 2a and 2b. . With this aspect, only the soldering iron plate 2c, which is subject to heavy wear, can be easily replaced. An example of this embodiment is shown in FIG. In this example, the iron plate 2c is held between the support plates 2a and 2b, and is tightened with a nut 2d from above the support plate 2a. To replace the iron plate 2c, loosen the nut 2d and remove the iron plate 2c from the support plates 2a and 2b.

The dimensions of the applicator plate shank 4 can be varied depending on the specific application of the applicator. The shape of the end of the shank 4 on the grip side can be any shape, but it is desirable that the axis of the rod-shaped grip is approximately perpendicular to the axis of the center of the shank 4. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the shank 4 can be provided with a device for adjusting its length in the longitudinal direction. An example of this adjustment device 6 is shown in Figure 1. In this example, the shank consists of a large diameter tube and a small diameter tube near the adjustment device,
