Referring now to the drawings in detail wherein like reference characters indicate like parts throughout the several figures, the reference numeral indicates gen- 2 erally' a tape cementer and applier constructed in accordance with the invention.
The dry wall tape cementer and applier 20 includes a frame member 21 having integrally extending therefrom handle supports 22, 23 in spaced apart parallel relation between which a handle 24 is secured by means of a bolt 25 extending axially therethrough. A U-shaped bracket 26 is secured to the handle bracket 23 by means of the bolt 25 and is positioned so as to extend outwardly therefrom. A spool 27 is journalled in the U-shaped bracket 26 by means of a journal bolt 28. The spool 27 supports a supply of dry wall tape 29, as best illustrated in Figures 1 and 2.
A hopper, generally indicated at 30, is secured to the frame 21 by mean of bolts 31 and 32. The hopper includes a front wall 33, a bottom wall 34 extending outwardly and downwardly therefrom, a back wall 35 extending upwardly from the outer end of the bottom wall 34 in parallel relation to the front wall 33, and a pair of opposite side walls 36 and 37 which are arranged in spaced parallel confronting relation integrally joined to the front and rear walls 33, 35 and the bottom wall 34. The upper edges of the side walls 36 and 37 are arranged to diverge downwardly and outwardly at an angle greater than the angle formed by the bottom wall 34.
A cover 38 is hingedly secured at 39 to the side walls 36 and 37 and is arranged to extend therebetween from the front wall 33 to the rear wall 35. The center portion of the front edge of the cover 38 is provided with a tape slot 40 which terminates short of the front wall 33, as best illustrated in Figure 3. A plate 41 is adjustably secured to the cover 38 by bolts 42 and is adapted to slidably close the slot 40 in the cover 38 to any desired degree to control the quantity of cement 43 exiting from the hopper 30.
An applying trowel 44 is formed of a continuation of the front wall 33 and is arranged with wedge shaped side flanges 45 and 46, for reasons to be assigned. A slot 47 is formed in the corner between the front wall 33 and the bottom wall 34 to permit the tape 29 to extend therethrough.
In the use and operation of the invention illustrated in Figures 1 through 4, dry wall tape 29 is passed through a hopper 30 having cement 43 stored therein. The dry wall tape '29 is applied to the wall of a building by means of the applicator 44, and the device 20 is moved downwardly on the wall with the dry wall tape 29 receiving a coating of cement 43 as it passes through the hopper 30. The plate 41. scrapes the excess cement 43 off of the tape 29 so that the tape 29 engages the wall with the-correct amount of cement 43 thereon.
The device illustrated in Figures 1 through 4 is intended for use with dry wall joints extending across a ceiling and extending 'vertically in a side wall construction.
Referring now to the modification illustrated in Figures 5 through 7, the reference numeral 50 indicates generally a dry wall tape cementer and applier. The device 50 includes a frame member 51 having a brace 52 extending upwardly and forwardly therefrom at an angle, and an arm 53 extending perpendicularly forward therefrom, as best illustrated in Figures 6 and 7.
A handle 54 is secured by a handle frame 55 and bolts 56 to the frame member 51 in spaced relation to the bracev 52 and the arm 53. A spool support yoke 57 is journalled by means of bolt 58 to the outer end of the arm 53 and is adapted to have a spool 59 positioned thereon for rotation. Dry wall tape supply 60 is wound on the spool 59 and is adapted to be dispensed in a manner to be described.
A hopper, generally indicated at 60', includes a front spaced relation, a bottom wall 63 connecting integrally the front and rear walls 61 and 62, a pair of end walls 64 and 65 close the opposite ends of the hopper 60, and an upwardly and rearwardly diverging hopper wall 66 extends from the upper edge of the front wall 61, for reasons to be assigned.
Bolts 67 secure the hopper 60-to the extension 52, as best seen in Figures and 7. A slot 68 is formed in the end wall 64 to permit the tape supply to pass therethrough. An adjustable plate 69 is secured to the end wall by means of wing bolts 70 to permit the supply of cement 71 to be retained in the hopper 60' and dispensed therefromin economical amounts.
In the use and operation'of the invention illustrated in Figures 5 through 7, tape 60 is threaded through'thc hopper 60' and is applied to the seams in a dry wall construction by means of the applicator blade 72 which is formed of a continuation of the front wall 61 of the hopper 60. As the tape 60 passes through the hopper 60, cement 71 will cling thereto in an amount governed by the sliding gate 69. The device illustrated in Figures 5 through 7 is intended for use on seams extending horizontally in a dry wall construction.
Referring now to the modification illustrated in Figures 8 through 10, the reference numeral indicates generally a tape cement coating and forming device in cluding hopper generally indicated at 81 consisting of opposite spaced apart parallel end walls 82 and 83, inwardly converging side walls 84 and 85, and a bottom wall 86. A V-shaped block 87 is positioned on the bottom wall 86 and runs from one end wall 82 to the opposite end wall 83 of the hopper 81.
A V-shaped guide 88 is provided with spaced upper and lower V- shaped walls 89 and 90, respectively, which t are integrally joined as best illustrated in Figure 9.
The V-shaped guide 88 extends through the end wall 82 terminating just inwardly thereof in contact with the V-shaped plate 87. The opposite end wall 83 is provided with a V-shaped outlet opening 91 in alignment with the V-shaped guide 88. Dry wall tape 92 is threaded through the guide 88 so as to be formed into a V-shape as it passes through the hopper 81 and through the outlet opening 91 in the wall 83.
Cement contained within the hopper 81 coats the tape 92 and the excess cement is removed by means of an adjustable gate 93 covering the outlet opening 91. When a sufficient amount of tape 92 has been coated with cement the end is torn off or cut loose from the hopper 81 and the tape is applied to an outside corner using the normal hand tools.
Referring now to the modification illustrated in Figures 11 through 13, a tape forming and coating apparatus, generally indicated at 100, includes a hopper, generally indicated at 101, having opposite parallel spaced end walls 102 and 103 connected by converging side walls 104 and 105. An inverted V-shaped bottom wall 106 extends lonigtudinally of the hopper 101 between the end walls 102 and 103 and the side Walls 104 and 105.
An inverted V-shaped guide 107 extends through one end wall 102 terminating immediately inside of the end tit) wall 102 adjacent the inverted V-shaped bottom wall 106, as best illustrated in Figure 13. The inverted V- shaped guide 107 includes spaced upper and lower V- shaped walls 108 and 109 which are integrally joined along their lower outer edges, as best illustrated in Fig-- ure 13.
The end wall 103 is provided with an inverted V- shaped outlet opening 110 in alignment with the V-shaped guide 107 and is provided with an adjustable V-shaped gate 111 which is adapted to adjust the opening 110 to regulate the amount of cement flowing therethrough from the hopper 101. i
A tape 112 is fed through the inverted V-shaped guide 107, through the hopper 101, and out the outlet opening 1.10, where it is coated with cement in suflicient quantity to cause the tape to adhere to the dry wall when applied to an inside corner thereof. When a sufficient amount of tape has been coated with cement from the hopper 101, the tape 112 is simmered from the hopper 101 and applied to an inside corner of a dry wall with any suitable tools.
Having thus described the preferred embodiments of the invention, it should be understood that numerous other structural modifications and adaptations may be resorted to without departing from the scope of the appended claim.
