Abstract

The invention relates to a device for shaping and smoothing joint materials, such as silicone. The device comprises a container (2) for surface-active liquid, such as water containing dishwashing liquid, an application head (7) having a rotation body mounted so as to rotate, and an absorbent material disposed between the inside (3) of the container and the rotation body (13), which guides the liquid exiting from the inside (3) of the container onto the surface of the rotation body (13). When this rotation body (13) is rolled onto the joint material, it transports the liquid to the joint material while simultaneously shaping and smoothing said material.

Description

Fugenroller Joint roller
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Vorrichtung zum Formen und Glätten von Fugenmaterialien wie Silikon.The invention relates to a device for molding and smoothing joint materials such as silicone.
Fugenmaterialien kommen in den verschiedensten Fällen zum Einsatz. So wird Silikon im Innenausbau von Malern, Fliesenlegern, Sanitärtechnikern, Glasern und Fensterbauern benutzt. Des weiteren werden Fugenmaterialien zum Abdichten bzw. Befestigen bei Möbeln oder Ziergegenständen wie Aquarien oder in der Metallverarbeitung verwendet.Jointing materials are used in a wide variety of cases. So silicone is used in the interior of painters, tilers, sanitary technicians, glaziers and window builders. Furthermore, joint materials are used for sealing or fastening furniture or decorative items such as aquariums or in metal processing.
Üblicherweise wird Silikon mittels einer Spritzpistole aufgetragen. Diese kann einen Antriebshebel haben, an dem eine Klinke schwenkbar gelagert ist, die eine Zahnstange vortreibt, welche auf einem Kolben im Inneren einer Silikonkartusche wirkt. Am anderen Ende der Kartusche ist eine konische Spitze zum Auftrag des Silikonmaterials angebracht. Die Breite des gelegten Silikonbandes wird vom Öffhungsquerschnitt der Spitze beeinflußt, den der Anwender durch Abschneiden des Spitzenendes einstellen kann.Silicone is usually applied using a spray gun. This can have a drive lever on which a pawl is pivotally mounted, which drives a rack, which acts on a piston inside a silicone cartridge. At the other end of the cartridge there is a conical tip to apply the silicone material. The width of the silicone tape placed is influenced by the opening cross section of the tip, which the user can adjust by cutting off the tip end.
Nach dem Legen des Fugenmaterials wird dieses in einem gesonderten Arbeitsgang geglättet. Herkömmlicherweise wird es hierfür meistens mit einem Prilwasser (Wasser mit einem Anteil Pril- Spülmittel der Firma Henckel oder dgl. Spülmittel) benetzten Finger möglichst gleichmäßig in die jeweilige Fuge gedrückt und geglättet. Dabei wird das Prilwasser in einer Tasse mitge- führt. Diese Vorgehensweise ist mühselig, aufwendig und hinsichtlich der Formung des Fugenmaterials unbefriedigend. Dies gilt besonders für die Stellen, wo der Finger zum Befeuchten ab- bzw. wieder angesetzt wird. So werden bei Malerarbeiten in einer Wohnung in dieser Weise in der Regel viele Meter Silikon mit ungleichmäßigen Resultaten verlegt.After laying the joint material, it is smoothed in a separate operation. Conventionally, for this purpose it is mostly pressed and smoothed with a Prilwasser (water with a portion of Pril dishwashing liquid from Henckel or the like. Detergent) as evenly as possible into the respective joint. The Pril water is carried in a cup leads. This procedure is cumbersome, complex and unsatisfactory in terms of the shape of the joint material. This is especially true for the places where the finger is put on or put back on to moisten. When painting in an apartment, many meters of silicone are usually laid in this way with uneven results.
Aus dem DE-GM 296 05 294.9 ist bereits ein Fugenroller bekannt, der einen Behälter für eine oberflächenaktive Flüssigkeit wie Prilwasser hat, einen Auftragskopf mit einer mit dem Behälterinnenraum verbundenen Auslaßöffnung aufweist, in der eine aus der Auslaßöffnung teilweise vorstehende Kugel sitzt, die beim Abrollen ihres vorstehenden Teils auf einem Fugenmaterial Flüssigkeit aus dem Behälterinnenraum durch die Auslaßöffhung auf das Fugenmaterial transportiert und dieses zugleich formt. Diese Vorrichtung muß zur Sicherstellung des gleichmäßigen Flüssigkeitsauftrages genau hergestellt werden.From DE-GM 296 05 294.9 a joint roller is already known, which has a container for a surface-active liquid such as Pril water, has an application head with an outlet opening connected to the interior of the container, in which a ball partially protruding from the outlet opening sits, which rolls off its protruding part on a joint material transports liquid from the container interior through the outlet opening onto the joint material and at the same time forms it. This device must be manufactured precisely to ensure the even application of liquid.
Davon ausgehend liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Vorrichtung zum Formen und Glätten von Fugenmaterialien zu schaffen, die einen gleichmäßigen Flüssigkeitsauftrag begünstigt. Zudem soll eine Vorrichtung geschaffen werden, die das Legen, Formen und Glätten des Fugenmaterials insgesamt vereinfacht.Proceeding from this, the object of the invention is to create a device for shaping and smoothing joint materials which favors a uniform application of liquid. In addition, a device is to be created which overall simplifies the laying, shaping and smoothing of the joint material.
Die erste Aufgabe wird durch eine Vorrichtung mit den Merkmalen des Anspruches 1 gelöst. Die zweite Aufgabe durch eine Vorrichtung mit den Merkmalen des Anspruches 8. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Vorrichtungen sind in den Unteransprüchen angegeben. Die Vorrichtung zum Formen und Glätten von Fugenmaterialien wie Silikon gemäß Anspruch 1 hat einen Behälter für eine oberflächenaktive Flüssigkeit wie Prilwasser. Ferner hat sie einen Auftragskopf mit einem drehbar gelagerten Rotationskörper, der vorzugsweise als Rad ausgebildet ist. Zwischen dem Behälterinnenraum und dem Rotationskörper ist ein saugfähiges Material angeordnet, daß Flüssigkeit aus dem Behälterinnenraum auf die Oberfläche des Rotationskörpers leitet. Bei dem saugfähigen Material kann es sich um einen Schwamm oder ein anderes Material mit Kapillar- oder Dochtwirkung handeln. Beim Abrollen des Rotationskörpers auf einem Fugenmaterial transportiert der Rotationskörper die vom saugfähigen Material übertragene Flüssigkeit auf das Fugenmaterial und formt und glättet dieses gleichzeitig. Vorteilhaft ist, daß das saugfähige Material das Übertragen überhöhter Flüssigkeitsmengen auf das Fugenmaterial verhindert und für eine im wesentlichen konstante Flüssigkeitsübertragung sorgt. Auch kann mit diesem „Fugenroller" noch gearbeitet werden, wenn keine Flüssigkeit mehr im Behälter vorliegt, weil das saugfähige Material einen Speichereffekt hat, der für die Bearbeitung beachtlicher Fugenstrecken ausreicht. Der Speichereffekt des saugfähigen Materials ermöglicht zudem ein Arbeiten mit nach oben gerichtetem Rotationskörper, ohne daß das saugfähige Material in die Flüssigkeit im Behälter eintaucht.The first object is achieved by a device with the features of claim 1. The second object by a device with the features of claim 8. Advantageous configurations of the devices are specified in the subclaims. The device for molding and smoothing joint materials such as silicone according to claim 1 has a container for a surface-active liquid such as Prilwasser. Furthermore, it has an application head with a rotatably mounted rotating body, which is preferably designed as a wheel. An absorbent material is arranged between the interior of the container and the rotating body that directs liquid from the interior of the container onto the surface of the rotating body. The absorbent material can be a sponge or another material with a capillary or wicking effect. When the rotating body rolls on a joint material, the rotating body transports the liquid transferred from the absorbent material onto the joint material and simultaneously shapes and smooths it. It is advantageous that the absorbent material prevents excessive amounts of liquid from being transferred to the joint material and ensures an essentially constant liquid transfer. It is also possible to work with this "joint roller" when there is no more liquid in the container because the absorbent material has a storage effect that is sufficient for the processing of considerable joint distances. without the absorbent material being immersed in the liquid in the container.
Die Vorrichtung zum Formen und Glätten von Fugenmaterialien wie Silikon gemäß Anspruch 2 hat ebenfalls einen Behälter für eine oberflächenaktive Flüssigkeit wie Prilwasser. Auch diese Vorrichtung ist mit einem Auftragskopf mit einem drehbar gelagerten Rotationskörper versehen, der die Flüssigkeit beim Abrollen auf einem Fugenmaterial auf das Fugenmaterial transportiert und dieses zugleich formt. Insoweit wird auch diese Vorrichtung als „Fugenroller" bezeichnet. Diese kann gemäß Gebrauchsmuster DE-GM 296 05 294 und/oder in der oben beschriebenen Weise mit einem saugfähigen Material ausgebildet sein. Der Fugenroller ist an einer Silikonpistole fixiert, wobei die Vorrichtung zum Formen und Glätten parallel zu einer Spitze der Silikonpistole ausgerichtet und mit ihrem Rotationskörper dem Ende der Spitze zugeordnet ist, so daß diese Anordnung zugleich Silikonmaterial aus der Spritze abgeben und das abgegebene Material in der Fuge formen und glätten kann. Hierdurch werden zwei Arbeitsgänge zusammengefaßt, wobei das Legen des Fugenmaterials gleichzeitig mit dem Formen und Glätten für eine besonders genaue und saubere Ausführung der Silikonfuge sorgt. Bevorzugt hat dabei der Fugenroller eine konische Aufnahme, mit der er durch Aufstecken und Festklemmen an der Spitze einer handelsüblichen Silikonpistole fixierbar ist.The device for molding and smoothing joint materials such as silicone according to claim 2 also has a container for a surface-active liquid such as Prilwasser. This device too is provided with an application head with a rotatably mounted rotating body which transports the liquid when rolling on a joint material onto the joint material and at the same time forms it. In this respect, this device is also referred to as a “joint roller”. This can be in accordance with utility model DE-GM 296 05 294 and / or in the manner described above with an absorbent material. The joint roller is fixed to a silicone gun, the device for shaping and smoothing being aligned parallel to a tip of the silicone gun and with its rotating body being assigned to the end of the tip, so that this arrangement simultaneously releases silicone material from the syringe and the material released into the joint can shape and smooth. In this way, two work steps are combined, the laying of the joint material simultaneously with the shaping and smoothing ensuring a particularly precise and clean execution of the silicone joint. The joint roller preferably has a conical receptacle with which it can be fixed by plugging and clamping onto the tip of a commercially available silicone gun.
Die Erfindung wird nachfolgend anhand der anliegenden Zeichnung zweier Ausführungsbeispiele näher erläutert. In der Zeichnung zeigen:The invention is explained below with reference to the accompanying drawing of two exemplary embodiments. The drawing shows:
Fig. 1 Fugenroller mit saugfähigem Material zwischen Behälter und Rad im Längsschnitt;Figure 1 Fugenroller with absorbent material between the container and the wheel in longitudinal section.
Fig. 2 Rad desselben Fugenrollers in Seitenansicht;Fig. 2 wheel of the same joint roller in side view;
Fig. 3 derselbe Fugenroller an einer Silikonpistole in Seitenansicht.Fig. 3 the same joint roller on a silicone gun in side view.
Gemäß Fig. 1 hat der Fugenroller 1 einen im wesentlichen zylindrischen Behälter 2, dessen Behälterinnenraum 3 an einer Stirnseite mit einem abnehmbaren Deckel 4 zum Befüllen mit Flüssigkeit hat und an der anderen Stirnseite von einer dünnen Wand 5 mit einer zentralen Öffnung 6 verschlossen ist. An der Stirnseite mit der kleinen Öffnung 6 hat der Fugenroller 1 einen Auftragskopf 7, der mit dem Behälter 3 verschraubt sein kann. Der Auftragskopf 7 hat angrenzend an die Wand 5 einen zylindrischen Hohlraum 8, der an diametral gegenüberliegenden Seiten Verlängerungen 9 trägt, die gabelförmig nebeneinander angeordnet sind.1, the joint roller 1 has a substantially cylindrical container 2, the container interior 3 of which has a removable cover 4 for filling with liquid on one end face and is closed by a thin wall 5 with a central opening 6 on the other end face. At the front with the small opening 6, the joint roller 1 has one Application head 7, which can be screwed to the container 3. The application head 7 has, adjacent to the wall 5, a cylindrical cavity 8 which carries extensions 9 on diametrically opposite sides, which are arranged next to one another in a fork shape.
Im Hohlraum 8 ist ein Schwamm 10 angeordnet, der von der Wand 5 bis in den unteren Bereich des Freiraums 11 zwischen den „Gabelzinken" 9 reicht.A sponge 10 is arranged in the cavity 8 and extends from the wall 5 to the lower area of the free space 11 between the “fork tines” 9.
Zwischen den Gabelzinken 9 ist auf einer Achse 12 ein Rad 13 gelagert. Die Achse 12 kann herausgezogen werden, um das Rad 13 zu entnehmen. Das Rad 13 ist gemäß Fig. 2 an seiner Lauffläche mit einem Gummiband 14 bezogen. Das Gummiband 14 ist auswechselbar, um verschiedene Laufprofile zu erzeugen.A wheel 13 is mounted on an axle 12 between the fork tines 9. The axis 12 can be pulled out to remove the wheel 13. The wheel 13 is covered with a rubber band 14 on its tread. The rubber band 14 is interchangeable to produce different running profiles.
Das Rad 13 ragt im Freiraum 11 bis auf den Schwamm 10, den es an der Oberseite etwas zusammendrückt.The wheel 13 extends in the free space 11 up to the sponge 10, which it compresses somewhat at the top.
Diese Vorrichtung ist wie folgt verwendbar: Zunächst wird der Behälter 3 unter Abnehmen des Deckels 4 mit Flüssigkeit befüllt. Dann wird sie mit dem Rad 13 nach unten gehalten, so daß sich der Schwamm 10 mit Flüssigkeit vollsaugt. Schließlich wird sie mit der Außenseite ihres Rades 13 an dem zu formenden und zu glättenden Silikonmaterial angesetzt und darüber abgerollt. Dabei transportiert der Schwamm 10 aus dem Behälter 3 ständig eine erforderliche und keine übermäßige Menge grenzflächenaktiver Flüssigkeit auf die Oberfläche des Rades 13, die von diesem auf das Silikonmaterial übertragen wird. Gemäß Fig. 3 ist der Fugenroller 1 an einer Seite über einen Steg 15 mit einer konischen Aufhahmehülse 16 verbunden. Die Innenabmessungen der Hülse 16 sind auf die Außenabmessungen einer handelsüblichen Spitze 17 einer Silikonkartusche 18 abgestimmt. Die Aufnahme 16 ist parallel zum Fugenroller 1 ausgerichtet und so an seiner Längsseite plaziert, daß das Rad 13 nach dem Aufschneiden der Spitze 17 im Bereich der Spitzenöffhung 19 angeordnet ist.This device can be used as follows: First, the container 3 is filled with liquid by removing the lid 4. Then she is held down with the wheel 13 so that the sponge 10 soaks up with liquid. Finally, it is attached to the outside of its wheel 13 on the silicone material to be shaped and smoothed and rolled over it. The sponge 10 constantly transports a required and not excessive amount of surface-active liquid from the container 3 to the surface of the wheel 13, which is transferred from it to the silicone material. 3, the joint roller 1 is connected on one side via a web 15 to a conical receiving sleeve 16. The inner dimensions of the sleeve 16 are matched to the outer dimensions of a commercially available tip 17 of a silicone cartridge 18. The receptacle 16 is aligned parallel to the joint roller 1 and placed on its long side so that the wheel 13 is arranged in the region of the tip opening 19 after the tip 17 has been cut open.
Für den Gebrauch kann die Anordnung aus Fugenroller 1, Spitze 17 und Silikonkartusche 18 in eine - nicht abgebildete - übliche Silikonpistole eingesetzt werden. Gleichzeitig mit der Abgabe von Silikonmaterial aus der Spitzenöffhung 19 kann dieses dann mittels des Fugenrollers 1 in der Fuge geformt und geglättet werden. Damit nicht zuviel Silikon in die Fuge gebracht und dieses an den Rändern des Rades 13 vorbeigedrückt wird, muß getestet werden, wie weit die Spitze 17 der Silikonkartusche 18 höchstens abgeschnitten werden darf.For use, the arrangement of joint roller 1, tip 17 and silicone cartridge 18 can be inserted into a conventional silicone gun (not shown). Simultaneously with the release of silicone material from the tip opening 19, this can then be shaped and smoothed in the joint by means of the joint roller 1. So that not too much silicone is brought into the joint and this is pushed past the edges of the wheel 13, it must be tested how far the tip 17 of the silicone cartridge 18 may at most be cut off.
Mit dieser Vorrichtung spart der Handwerker einen kompletten Arbeitsgang, da die Fuge mit Silikon ausgedrückt und gleichzeitig das Fugenmaterial durch das auf der Spitze 17 befindliche Werkzeug 1 geglättet wird. Sollte doch einmal zuviel Silikon ausgedrückt worden sein, z.B. mangels Übung des Benutzers, wird dieses Material am Rad 13 vorbeigedrückt und von den Radrändern durchtrennt. Nach dem Trocknen kann das überflüssige, abgetrennte Silikon einfach von den Fliesen etc. abgezogen werden.With this device, the craftsman saves a complete operation, since the joint is expressed with silicone and at the same time the joint material is smoothed by the tool 1 located on the tip 17. Should too much silicone have been squeezed out, e.g. due to lack of practice by the user, this material is pushed past the wheel 13 and severed from the wheel edges. After drying, the superfluous, separated silicone can be easily removed from the tiles, etc.
Der Fugenroller 1 kann ganz oder teilweise aus Kunststoff, Metall oder einer Kombination dieser Werkstoffe gefertigt werden, wobei insbesondere das saugfähige Material 10 Naturschwamm sein und die Radbeläge 14 aus Gummi bestehen können. The joint roller 1 can be made entirely or partially of plastic, metal or a combination of these materials, in particular that absorbent material 10 be natural sponge and the wheel pads 14 can be made of rubber.
