Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a tool and in particular a pointing tool and method of pointing.
  • Pointing is generally known and relates to filling a gap between wall or floor
  • constructions members such as bricks, stones or paving, with a jointing material, such as a cement or mortar.
  • Pointing is generally a manual task although various approaches can be used to try and speed up the process such as gun grouting a poured grouting. However, in many instances, hand pointing is used.
  • a pointing trowel and larger bricklaying trowel are often used.
  • the cement or mortar is loaded onto the bricklaying trowel and any mortar overhang is trimmed to prevent spillage and staining of the construction members, e.g. paving.
  • the pointing trowel is then used to feed mortar carefully into the joint being filled.
  • the mortar is then packed into the joint using the edge of the pointing trowel, to remove voids or air pockets, until the joint is completely filled. This procedure is repeated moving along the joint until its full length has been filled with mortar.
  • a pointing bar can then be used to smooth off the mortar (also known as 'Polishing' or 'Striking'). Any spillages of mortar should be cleaned immediately to try and avoid or reducing staining of the surface with a damp cloth or similar.
  • a soft brush can be used to dust off any mortar left on the surface after the mortar has become dry.
  • a first aspect of the invention provides a pointing tool comprising: a first plate having a first inner straight edge; a second plate having a second inner straight edge; a coupling by which the first plate and second plate are connected with the first inner straight edge opposed to the second inner straight edge and defining a gap between them, and wherein the coupling permits the separation between the first inner straight edge and the second inner straight edge to be adjusted.
  • the first and second plates can provide an adjustable mask to help prevent or reduce staining of exposed surfaces of construction elements while introducing a jointing material into a joint between them.
  • the same pointing tool can be used when pointing gaps of different widths during the same or different pointing jobs. The pointing tool therefore provides an aid to make pointing easier and speed up pointing.
  • the coupling can include a releasable lock or fastener operable to fix the separation between the first inner straight edge and the second inner straight edge. Hence, once the separation has been adjusted it can be fixed to allow the tool to be used subsequently to point joints of similar widths elsewhere during a pointing job.
  • a first releasable lock or fastener can be provided at a first end and/or a second releasable lock or fastener can be provided at a second end.
  • the or each releasable lock or fastener can be a quick release type fastener.
  • the coupling can be arranged to maintain the first inner straight edge substantially parallel to the second inner straight edge while the separation between them is adjusted. This makes the width of the gap is substantially constant along the longitudinal length of the gap and is particularly helpful for regularly shaped and/or spaced construction elements.
  • An underside or the underneath of the pointing tool can be entirely flat or planar.
  • a lower surface or an under surface or side of the first plate and a lower surface or an under surface or side of the second plate can be entirely flat or planar.
  • the first plate and the second plate can be co-planar or can lie in the same plane.
  • the first plate and/or the second plate can be flexible.
  • the first and/or second plate can be sufficiently flexible to accommodate variations in the height, shape or profile of a working surface against which they are placed in use. This helps to avoid the ingress of jointing material between an underside of the plates and the working surface which might otherwise stain or mark the working surface.
  • the pointing tool can further comprise a handle at a first end and/or second end of the pointing tool.
  • the handle can facilitate manual handling of the pointing tool, particularly when partially loaded with jointing material.
  • a handle at a first end can include one or more apertures for receiving a user's hand and/or for allowing the tool to be hung up for storage.
  • a handle at a second end can include one or more grabs to improve manual handling and/or manipulation of the pointing tool.
  • the coupling can comprise a first part at a first end of the pointing tool and/or a second part at a second end of the pointing tool.
  • the first part and/or the second part can each include one or more formations arranged to allow the first plate and/or second plate to slide relative to each other.
  • the pointing tool can further comprise a third plate having a lower straight edge.
  • the second plate can have a first outer straight edge
  • the third plate can be arranged generally perpendicular to a plane of the second plate and with its lower straight edge opposed to the outer straight edge and defining a further gap between them.
  • This allows the pointing tool to be used to more easily point a joint between a vertical and a horizontal working surface, e.g. between a wall and a floor.
  • the pointing tool can further comprise a further coupling by which the second plate and third plate are connected. The further coupling can permit the separation between the first outer straight edge and the lower straight edge to be adjusted.
  • the same tool can be used to point joints of different widths between horizontal and vertical working surfaces.
  • the third plate can be flexible to accommodate variations in the shape of a working surface against which it is placed in use. This helps to avoid the ingress of jointing material between an underside of the third plate and the vertical working surface which might otherwise stain or mark the vertical working surface.
  • the thickness of the first plate and/or the second plate and/or the third plate can be less than 2mm or less than 1mm.
  • the thickness of the first plate and/or the second plate and/or the third plate can be in the range of approximately 0.5mm to 2mm. Such thicknesses can help make the jointing material lie substantially flush with the working surface.
  • the length of the first plate and the second plate along a longitudinal axis of the pointing tool can be at least 0.3m, at least 0.5m, at least 0.7m or at least lm.
  • the length of the first plate and second plate is at least 0.3m.
  • the length of the first plate and second plate is not more than lm.
  • the length of the first plate and the second plate along a longitudinal axis of the pointing tool can be in the range of approximately 0.2m to 1.5m, 0.3m to 1.5m, 0.3m to 1.2m or preferably 0.3m to lm.
  • the coupling can include a scale arranged to indicate the size of the gap between the first inner edge and the second inner edge.
  • the scale can include a plurality of markings or indicia.
  • a first group of markings or indicia can be provided at the first end of the pointing tool and a second group of markings or indicia can be provided at the second end of the pointing tool.
  • An end part of the first plate and/or an end part of the second plate can include a slot, or slots, extending in a direction generally transverse to a longitudinal axis of the pointing tool.
  • the slot or slots can each be arranged to receive a respective part of the or each releasable lock or fastener.
  • the third plate can have a first arm at a first end having an open slot therein and/or a second arm at a second end having a further open slot therein.
  • the open slots can provide part of a slide mechanism by which the further gap can be adjusted.
  • the first plate and/or second plate and/or third plate can each be made of a sheet of metal and in particular a sheet of steel.
  • Other parts of the pointing tool can be integrally formed with the first, second and/or third plates.
  • Major parts of the pointing tool can be formed from moulded, formed or pressed and/or cut sheet metal.
  • a second aspect of the invention provides a method of pointing comprising; adjusting the separation between a first inner straight edge of a first plate of a pointing tool and a second inner straight edge of a second plate of the pointing tool to substantially match the width of a gap between a first edge of a first construction member and a second edge of a second construction member; aligning the first and second inner straight edges respectively with the first edge of the first construction member and the second edge of the second construction member to at least partially mask an exposed surface of the first construction member and an exposed surface of the second construction member; and introducing a jointing material into the gap and between the first inner straight edge and the second inner straight edge.
  • the method allows a user to point a joint between construction members more quickly and easily.
  • the first construction member and the second construction member can each be a wall construction member.

  • a number of benefits arise from the pointing instrument of the invention.
  • the bases help to avoid staining of the flooring parts or floor covering by the jointing material by acting as a mask so that the jointing material generally only engages the gap between the flooring parts or floor covering rather than their upper surfaces. This can increase the speed with which a large area can be pointed while reducing or avoiding staining by the jointing material.
  • the same pointing tool can be used to point a large areas irrespective of any irregularities in the gaps between flooring members or different areas having different sized gaps between flooring members.
  • the flexible bases 112, 152 allow them generally to conform to the shape or surface profile of the floor covering which can be quite variable for some materials, e.g. flag stones, and so helps avoid or reduce jointing material from entering any gap between the underside of the bases and the floor covering and causing staining by the jointing material.
  • the bases are made of a thin sheet, this helps to allow the jointing material to be applied substantially flush with the upper surface of the flooring members rather than giving rise to a ridge or edge which can more easily become worn or damaged.
  • the length of the pointing tool can be generally greater than the length of typical flooring members and so can be used to point along the entire length of a flooring member in one go. Also, the greater the length, the lesser the number of times the pointing tool needs to be re-positioned in order to point joints extending over a significant distance, e.g. across a patio or over a drive way or hard standing.
  • the third part and further adjustable gap allows the pointing tool to be used for pointing gaps between horizontal and vertical surfaces, e.g., a floor and wall, without the jointing material staining.
  • Manual pointing without staining is a skilled and labour intensive task and hence the invention also allows a novice to applying pointing without staining or a professional to apply pointing more quickly.
