UNITED STATE PATENT OFFICE.
PLAsTEnEBs roof..4
Application led February 9, 192B. .Serial No. 253,022.
This invention relates to a plasterers tool, and has for an object to provide an improved toolfof this. character which may be used to simultaneously finishboth Walls forming a corner so as to give a better and more uniform finish to it.
lItis also an object ofthe invention to provide a tool which is adapted for more convenient use for finishing wall .surfaces back of obstructions, such'as steam pipes and the like. y l
It isla further 'object of' the invention to provide a tool which is adapted for more uniform and better finishing corners of plas- -ter of Paris moldings and the like.
With the foregoing and other objects in view, I have devised theconstruction illustrated in the accompanying drawing forming a part of this specification. In this drawing,
Fig.1 is a top plan view ofmy improved plasterers tool.
Fig. 2 is a front elevation thereof, and
VFig 3 is an end elevation showing how 'it is ,used in finishing the walls forming a corner.
The tool 'as shown, comprises an oblong body portion 10 having on its under side a fiat surface 11 for finishing flat wall surfaces, and this body portion is beveled or mitered in opposite directions at its opposite ends as shown at l2'and 13, for finishing corners of plaster of Paris moldings and the like, the angle of this bevel being at any angle desired but preferably about forty-five degrees. Along one of the side edges, preferably the longer edge,the body portion is provided with an integral ange portion 14. extending at substantially right angles to the body ortion and having an ,outer finishing surace 14a at substantially right angles to the surface 11. This tool may, therefore, be used to simultaneously finish both surfaces 16 and 17 forming a corner, and it will finish these surfaces in a uniform and proper manner giving a much better corner iinish and a straight corner line.
lf the blade or flange14 is made about one inch in widthy it will fit any groove in cornice Work orv anywhere Aon panel work. -That makes this tool particularly handy and adaptable as the large blade may be used for large surfaces and then the small blade can this special Work. Therefore,
be used for this small tool may be used for a number of lferent tool.
different kinds of Work which Withthe old tools required the use of a number of dif- This tool will, therefore, effect a great saving in time as it is not necessary for the 'mason to change tools, and fewer tools are required in the kit.
I have also provided an improved handle construction with means for mounting the same which cooperates with this peculiar construction of tool for securing improved operation thereof and facilitating its use under certain adverse conditions. For this purpose I mount on top-of the body portion 10 a longitudinally extending' dove tail rib or bar 18 which is secured with its narrowest side against the body portion by any suitable means, such as spot Welding or riveting. The handle comprises a grip 19 secured to an upright member 20 at one end which is secured at itsvlower end to a base member 21 having a longitudinally extending dove tail groove to Wing screw 22 is threaded in this base in position to clamp on top of the bar' 18 to firmly secure the handle to the tool and permit its adjustment to different positions. Ordinarily in trowel constructions the handles are permanently secured to the trowel, and in use of the tool behind steam pipes or other obstructions often greatly curtails the use of the tool. "lVit-hthis arrangement as shown, however, the handle may be adjusted longitudinally of the rib 18, thus varying the efectivev length of the tool so that it may be inserted different distances behind steam pipes and the like, greatly facilitating finishing surfaces behind such obstructions. Still further the handle may be removed and reversed, as indicated in dotted lines Fig. 2, so that either end of the tool may be used for insertion behind obstructions, and the flange portion 14 may thus be positioned on either side of the handle making it either a right hand or'left hand tool.
Another advantage is that other masons tools, such as ordinary plasterers trowels, jointers, sliekers, -or joint rakers may be each provided with a dove tail rib similar to 18, and the same handle may be used for all of these tools. This will greatly reduce the necessary space required in a masons kit bag over what is required with ordinary tools where lthere is. a separate handle permanently secured to each tool and besides it permits adjustment of the handle on the lit the bar 18, and a v tool as described. This is merely another advantage of this particular handle and its means of mounting, but it has special advantages in connectlon with the s ecial iini'shing tool illustrated as havin t e beveled ends and the'longitudinai finishing flange portion 14. as described.
Having thus set forth the nature of my invention, what I claim is:
1. A plasterers tool comprising an oblong'. body portion and an integral ange portion along one side edge of the body portion, said portions having outer finishing surfaces at substantially right angles to each other, the opposite ends of the body portion being mitered in opposite directions from the flange portion, and a handlesecured to the back of the body portion.
2. A plasterers tool comprising an oblong body portion and integral flange portion along one side edge of the vbody portion, said portions having outer finishing surfaces at substantially right angles to yeach other, one end of the body portion beingmi'tered in a direction away'from the flange portion, and a handle secured to the back of the body portion. v
In testimony whereof I aiix my signature.
JOSEPH A. PAQUETTE.
