Description

LEVELING TOOL FOR BUILDING COATING MATERIALS TECHNICAL AREA

This invention is related to the leveling tool for building coating materials to be used in the leveling of the front surfaces during the application of coating materials used in floor and wall coating of house buildings, factory buildings, shopping buildings, religious buildings, public buildings and foundation buildings, in keeping the coating materials stable in their original position against the contraction and expansion forces occurring during the drying and hardening of the adhesive mortars used in the application of coating materials, in providing and maintaining the verticality between coating materials in the outer corner joints in the vertical surface application of the coating materials.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Cement-based, reaction resin-based and dispersion-based adhesive mortars (8) are used for coating ceramic tiles, natural and artificial surface coating materials on wall and floor surfaces. Contraction and expansion occur in such adhesive mortars (8) during hardening and drying. The forces generated by the contraction and expansion movements of the said adhesive mortars (8) during drying and hardening move the coating materials (7). Therefore, the coating material (7) placed on the said adhesive mortars (8) loses its original position due to the expansion and contraction forces occurring within the adhesive mortar (8). As a result, irregularities, deviations from the plane and level differences occur between each part of the coating materials (7). The severity of these negativities varies depending on the weather conditions of the coating environment, the thickness, amount, type of the adhesive mortar (8), the size of the coating material

(7) and the type of the coating surface (10). For example, as the size of the coating material (7) increases, the amount and thickness of the adhesive mortar

(8) naturally increase. In this case, the intensity of the contraction and expansion forces occurring within the adhesive mortar (8) during drying and hardening increases. If the ambient conditions are windy and hot and the coating surface (10) is less absorbent, the intensity of the contraction and expansion forces occurring within the adhesive mortar (8) becomes much higher. As a result, in such cases, the coating material (7) placed on the adhesive mortar (8) moves to different points from the position where it was first placed. Since this situation will occur in the same way in other coating materials (7), the resulting coating deviates from its plane, has a level difference between each part, lacks aesthetics and functionality, and jeopardizes walking safety.

On the other hand, aesthetically and technically, when the covering materials (7) are laid on the floor and wall surfaces, the visible front surfaces must be in the same plane and level. Otherwise, such materials that have a level difference with each other on the surface on which they are laid, both deteriorate the aesthetic condition of the coating, risk walking safety due to the risk of stumbling and also creates technical weakness.

Fine powder material consisting of ceramic tiles, clay, quartz, feldspar and some melters is pressed and shaped under high pressure and then produced by cooking in tunnel furnaces at high temperatures. In accordance with these production processes, ceramic tiles cannot be produced in full size, corner joints in full square, equal thickness, without curvature, and their visible front surfaces are not flat. In these physical dimensions, very little dimensional deviations occur. This situation causes application difficulties in laying ceramic tiles and also spoils the aesthetics of the coating whole. Therefore, due to the size, thickness and curvature tolerances, coatings made with ceramic tiles are not fully leveled. As a result, coatings with low workmanship and aesthetic quality occur.

When the coating materials (7) are exposed to heat and rarely to humidity, expansion movements occur in them. Depending on the temperature range and expansion coefficients in the environment in which they are located, the coating materials (7) increase in size (expansion) when they are heated, and decrease in size (contraction) when they cool. Therefore, while laying (covering) the coating materials (7) on a surface, a reasonable joint gap (9) is left between each coating material (7). In order to ensure that this joint gap (9), which is left between the coating materials (7) in terms of aesthetics and technique, is of equal width at every point, tile spacers and bars made of plastic are generally used. These tile spacers used in the present situation can only determine the joint widths (9) of the coating materials (7). Therefore, it is not possible for these tile spacers and bars to resist the contraction and expansion forces caused by the adhesive mortar (8), to bring the visible upper surfaces of the coating materials (7) to the same level and to level them.

The leveling tool for building coating materials eliminates all the above-mentioned negativities.

As seen in Figure 30, the first coating material (7) is placed on the adhesive mortar (8) applied on the coating surface (10). The coating material (7) is compressed by pressing and hitting the adhesive mortar (8) with the help of a plastic mallet (11) and hand. The cheek part (4.e) of the surface level apparatus (4) shown in Figure 7 is placed under the coating material (7). Figure 30, Figure 31. In this position, the vertical leg (4.c) part of the surface level apparatus (4) shown in Figure 7 fully contacts the edge of the coating material (7), the lower part

(4.f) remains in the adhesive mortar (8), the upper surface ( 4. a) and holding head (4.b) are positioned on the coating material (7). As seen in Figure 32, the second coating material (7) is placed on the adhesive mortar (8) and compressed as in the first coating material (7). In this position, between the first coating material (7) and the second coating material (7), a joint gap (9) as much as the thickness of the vertical leg (7) in the surface level apparatus (4) is formed. Figure 33.

The pole apparatus (1), squeezing apparatus (2) and holding apparatus (3), which has an exploded view in Figure 16, are merged This merging, which is done only once, is like this. The holding apparatus (3) is passed to the male channels (1.d) located in the vertical slot (1.e) of the pole apparatus (1), through the female channels (3.c) located in the lower head (3.d) of the holding apparatus (3). The brake head (3. a) of the holding apparatus (3) passes through the vertical seat (1.e) of the pole apparatus (1) and extends outwards from the upper surface of the pole (1.a). The tightening apparatus (2) is rotated to the right from the brake head (3. a) part of the holding apparatus (3) and clamped to the holding apparatus (3) by means of screw threads (3.b) and nut threads (2.e). The tightening apparatus (2) is turned (rotated) to the right by means of its arms (2. a) until the base (3.f) of the holding apparatus and the pole base (1.g) are at the same level. Thus, the combined part that will always be located on the upper surface of the coating materials (7) is completed. This combination is clearly seen in Figure 17, Figure 19, Figure 20 and Figure 25.

The upper part consisting of the pole apparatus (1), compression apparatus (2) and holding apparatus (3), which will always remain on the upper surface of the coating material (7), is brought to the position shown in Figure 34 and clamped with the surface level apparatus (4) as in Figure 35. This interlocking happens as follows. The holding head (4.b) of the surface level apparatus (4) remaining on the upper surface of the coating material (7) is pushed to the end of the holding channel (3.e) of the holding apparatus (3). Thus, the holding head (4.b) of the surface level apparatus (4) fits into the holder channel (3.e) of the holding apparatus (3), that is, it is clamped.

Then, as clearly seen in Figure 17, Figure 19, Figure 25 and Figure 35, the tightening apparatus (2) is manually turned (rotated) to the right by means of the arms (2. a) positioned on the closed body (2.c). Thus, by means of screw threads

(3.b) and nut threads (2.e), the tightening apparatus (2) moves the holding apparatus (3) from the front surface of the coating material (7) outward in a linear direction . Meanwhile, the surface level apparatus (4), which is clamped to the holder channel (3.e) of the holding apparatus (3) from the holding head (4.b), moves in the same direction and amount with the holding apparatus (3) simultaneously. Thus, the cheek parts (4.e) of the surface level apparatus (4) below the coating materials (7) bring the lower edges of both coating materials (7) to the same level. Meanwhile, the pole base (1.g) applies pressure to the upper edges of both coating materials (7) and brings them to the same level. Thus, the upper and lower edges of both coating materials (7) are fixed at the same level. In this way, the expansion and contraction forces occurring during the hardening and drying of the adhesive mortar (8) cannot disrupt or change the initial position and level of the coating materials (7). While all these processes are taking place, the female channels (3.c) that are clamped to the male channels (1.d) inside the pole apparatus (1) prevent the holding apparatus (3) from moving linearly, not rotating on its vertical axis, and not moving left and right. In the meantime, the vertical leg (4) of the surface level apparatus (4) located in the joint gap (9) and touching the edge parts of both coating materials (7) 4.c) keeps the pole apparatus (1) remain stable, prevents it from moving left and right, rotating on its vertical axis. In Figure 40, a representative application of the leveling tool for building coating materials is shown for each coating material (7) forming the coating.

After a certain period of time, depending on the type and amount of the adhesive mortar (8) used in the application (laying) of the coating materials (7), the ambient conditions (hot-cold-wind), the size of the coating material (7) and the type of the coating surface (10) after w while the building coating materials are removed by hitting the body part (1.c) in the pole apparatus (1) of the leveling device with a plastic mallet (11). Figure 37. Due to the pulling force, a lot of stress accumulates in the vertical leg part (4.c) of the surface level apparatus (4) which is pulled out of the coating by means of the tightening apparatus (2) and the holding apparatus (3). The part where this stress is felt most is the breaking point (4.d) where the vertical leg (4.c) and the horizontal leg (4.g) intersect on the surface level apparatus (4). Therefore, when the plastic mallet (11) is hit in a parallel direction to the breaking point (4.d), the accumulated stress is immediately and easily discharged and the fracture occurs Figure 37, As seen in Figure 36, the hitting direction of the plastic mallet is in the same direction as the joint gap (9).

The broken surface leveling apparatus (12), which breaks from the breaking point (4.d), is removed from the leveling device for building coating materials. For this process, the tightening apparatus (2) is turned (rotated) to the left until the base (3.f) of the holding apparatus and the pole base (1.g) are at the same level. Leveling device is turned for the building coating materials so that the holding channel (3.e) in the holding apparatus (3) faces downward (towards the ground). The surface level adjustment apparatus (12), which has been broken by the effect of gravity, is removed from the holder channel (3.e) by skimming. As can be clearly seen in Figure 19 and Figure 38, the leveling tool for building coating materials is also used at the junction of the four coating materials (7). This usage method is as follows. The lower part (4.f) of the surface level apparatus (4) is placed on the part where four coating materials (7) meet. In this case, the position is as follows: the lower part (4.f) of the surface level apparatus (4) is embedded in the adhesive mortar (8) under the coating materials (7). The cheek parts (4.g) of the surface level apparatus (4) touch the lower corners of the four coating materials (7) and both wide surfaces of the vertical leg (4.c) touch the edge parts of the four coating materials (7). the holding head (4.b) remains outside the upper surface of the coating materials (7). The upper part consisting of the pole apparatus (1), compression apparatus (2) and holding apparatus (3), which will always remain on the upper surface of the coating material (7), is clamped with the surface level apparatus (4) as in Figure 19. This interlocking happens as follows. The holding head (4.b) of the surface level apparatus (4) remaining on the upper surface of the coating material (7) is pushed to the end of the holding channel (3.e) of the holding apparatus (3). Thus, the holding head (4.b) of the surface level apparatus (4) fits into the holder channel (3.e) of the holding apparatus (3), that is, it is clamped.

Then, as clearly seen in Figure 19, the tightening apparatus (2) is manually turned (rotated) to the right by means of the arms (2. a) positioned on the closed body (2.c). Thus, by means of screw threads (3.b) and nut threads (2.e), the tightening apparatus (2) moves the holding apparatus (3) from the front surface of the coating material (7) outward in a linear direction . Meanwhile, the surface level apparatus (4), which is clamped to the holder channel (3.e) of the holding apparatus (3) from the holding head (4.b), moves in the same direction and amount with the holding apparatus (3) simultaneously. Thus, the cheek parts (4.e) of the surface level apparatus (4) below the coating materials (7) bring the lower corner edges of all four coating materials (7) to the same level. Meanwhile, the pole base (1.g) applies pressure to the upper corner edges of four coating materials (7) and brings them to the same level. Thus, the upper and lower edges of four coating materials (7) are fixed at the same level. As can be clearly seen in Figure 25 and Figure 41 , the leveling tool for building coating materials is also used at the junction of the three coating materials (7). This usage method is as follows. The lower part (4.f) of the surface level apparatus (4) is placed on the part where three coating materials (7) meet. In this case, the position is as follows: the lower part (4.f) of the surface level apparatus (4) is embedded in the adhesive mortar (8) under the coating materials (7). The cheek parts (4.e) of the surface level apparatus (4) are placed in the lower corner parts of the two coating materials (7), and in the lower part of the edge of the third coating material (7), and both wide surfaces of the vertical leg (4.c) touches the edge parts of three coating materials (7), while the holding head (4.b) remains outside the upper surface of the coating materials (7). The upper part consisting of the pole apparatus (1), compression apparatus (2) and holding apparatus (3), which will always remain on the upper surface of the coating material (7) as in Figure 16, is clamped with the surface level apparatus (4) as in Figure 25. This interlocking happens as follows. The holding head (4.b) of the surface level apparatus (4) remaining on the upper surface of the coating material (7) is pushed to the end of the holding channel (3.e) of the holding apparatus (3). Thus, the holding head (4.b) of the surface level apparatus (4) fits into the holder channel (3.e) of the holding apparatus (3), that is, it is clamped. Then, as clearly seen in Figure 25, the tightening apparatus (2) is manually turned (rotated) to the right by means of the arms (2. a) positioned on the closed body (2.c). Thus, by means of screw threads (3.b) and nut threads (2.e), the tightening apparatus (2) moves the holding apparatus (3) from the front surface of the coating material (7) outward in a linear direction . Meanwhile, the surface level apparatus (4), which is clamped to the holder channel (3.e) of the holding apparatus (3) from the holding head (4.b), moves in the same direction and amount with the holding apparatus (3) simultaneously. Thus, the cheek parts (4.e) of the surface level apparatus (4) below the coating materials (7) bring the corner of the two coating materials (7) and one edge of the third coating material (7) to the same level. In the meantime, the pole base (1.g) brings the coating materials (7) to the same level by applying pressure to the upper corner edges of the two coating materials (7) and the edge part of the third coating material (7) from the upper side . Thus, the upper and lower parts of three coating materials (7) are fixed at the same level.

The load spreading apparatus (5) seen in Figure 9, Figure 10 and Figure 11 is placed between the pole base (1.g) and the upper surface of the coating material (7). Figure 22, Figure 39. The said load spreading apparatus (5) takes the force coming from the tightening apparatus (2) from the base of the pole (1.g) through the body (1.c) and spreads it over a wider area on the coating materials (7). This process takes place as follows: the lower part (4.f) of the surface level apparatus (4) is placed on the part where four coating materials (7) meet. In this case, the position is as follows: the lower part (4.f) of the surface level apparatus (4) is embedded in the adhesive mortar (8) under the coating materials (7). The cheek parts (4.e) of the surface level apparatus (4) touch the lower corners of the four coating materials (7) and both wide surfaces of the vertical leg (4.c) touch the edge parts of the four coating materials (7), the holding head (4.b) remains outside the upper surface of the coating materials (7). As seen in Figure 23, load spreading apparatus (5) and surface level apparatus (4) are combined. This union is as follows: The housing part (5.d) of the load spreading apparatus (5) is passed through the holding head (4.b) of the surface level apparatus (4) and the compression base (5.c) of the load spreading apparatus (5) presses on the coating materials. The upper part consisting of the pole apparatus (1), compression apparatus (2) and holding apparatus (3), which will always remain on the upper surface of the coating material (7) as in Figure 16, is clamped with the surface level apparatus (4) as in Figure 22. This interlocking happens as follows. The holding head (4.b) of the surface level apparatus (4), which is on the flat surface (5. a) side of the load spreading apparatus (5), is pushed to the end of the holding channel (3.e) of the holding apparatus (3). Thus, the holding head (4.b) of the surface level apparatus (4) fits into the holder channel (3.e) of the holding apparatus (3), that is, it is clamped. Then, as seen in Figure 22, the tightening apparatus (2) is manually turned

(rotated) to the right by means of the arms (2. a) positioned on the closed body

(2.c). Thus, by means of screw threads (3.b) and nut threads (2.e), the tightening apparatus (2) moves the holding apparatus (3) from the front surface of the coating material (7) outward in a linear direction . Meanwhile, the surface level apparatus (4), which is clamped to the holder channel (3.e) of the holding apparatus (3) from the holding head (4.b), moves in the same direction and amount with the holding apparatus (2) simultaneously. Thus, the cheek parts (4.e) of the surface level apparatus (4) below the coating materials (7) bring the lower corner edges of all four coating materials (7) to the same level. Meanwhile, the base of the pole (1.g) applies pressure to the flat surface (5. a) of the load spreading apparatus (5). This pressing force is transmitted to the pressing base (5.c) by means of the inclined surface (5.b) of the load spreading apparatus (5). The load spreading apparatus (5) brings the coating materials (7) to the same level due to the force on the pressing base (5.c). Thus, the upper and lower edges of four coating materials (7) are fixed at the same level Figure 39.

As seen in Figure 26, Figure 27, Figure 28 and Figure 29, the leveling tool for building covering materials is used in combination with the corner leveling apparatus (6) in Figure 12 in the coating outer corner (13) joints. This method of use takes place as follows, the lower part (4.f) of the surface level apparatus (4) is placed on the part where the coating materials (7) at the outer corner (13)meet, Figure 27. In this case, the position is as follows: the lower part (4.f) of the surface level apparatus (4) is embedded in the adhesive mortar (8) under the coating materials (7). The cheek parts (4.e) of the surface level apparatus (4) touch the lower edge parts of two coating materials (7) and both wide surfaces of the vertical leg (4.c) touch the edge parts of the coating materials (7), the holding head (4.b) remains outside the upper surface of the coating materials (7). As seen in Figure 26 and Figure 27, load spreading apparatus (6) and surface level apparatus (4) are combined. This union is as follows: the vertical slot (6.b) and horizontal slot (6.d) parts of the corner level apparatus (6) are passed through the holding head (4.b) of the surface level apparatus (4) and the vertical part (6. a), horizontal part (6.c) and vertical corner (6.e) of the corner level apparatus (6) are pressed on the coating materials (7) that are perpendicular to each other. The upper part consisting of the pole apparatus (1), compression apparatus (2) and holding apparatus (3), which will always remain on the upper surface of the coating material (7) seen in Figure 16, is clamped with the surface level apparatus (4) as in Figure 19 and Figure 29. This interlocking happens as follows. The holding head (4.b) of the surface level apparatus (4) remaining on the upper surface of the vertical part (6. a) and horizontal part (6.c) of the corner level apparatus (6) is pushed to the end of the holding channel (3.e) of the holding apparatus (3). Thus, the holding head (4.b) of the surface level apparatus (4) fits into the holder channel (3.e) of the holding apparatus (3), that is, it is clamped. Then, the tightening apparatus (2) is manually turned (rotated) to the right by means of the arms (2. a) positioned on the closed body (2.c). Thus, by means of screw threads (3.b) and nut threads (2.e), the tightening apparatus (2) moves the holding apparatus (3) from the front surface of the coating material (7) outward in a linear direction . Meanwhile, the surface level apparatus (4), which is clamped to the holder channel (3.e) of the holding apparatus (3) from the holding head (4.b), moves in the same direction and amount with the holding apparatus (3) simultaneously. Thus, the cheek parts (4.e) of the surface level apparatus (4) below the coating materials (7) bring the lower edges of coating materials (7) to the same level. In the meantime, the base of the pole (1.g) applies pressure to the vertical part (6. a) and horizontal part (6.c) of the corner level apparatus (6). This pressure force is transmitted to the coating materials (7) by means of the vertical part (6. a) and horizontal part (6.c) of the corner level apparatus (6) to ensure that the front surfaces of the coating materials (7) are at the same level and the corner joints are positioned perpendicular to each other. . This is clearly seen in Figure 28 and Figure 29.

There are some inventions that do the same job as leveling tool for building coating materials, but have very different designs and uses. The invention, which is included in the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) records with the publication number 208152508, consists of two parts. In this mentioned invention, the screw winding (14) extending upwards from the middle of the part (13) under the coating materials is seen. In the same invention, the part numbered (2) remaining on the upper surface of the coating materials is clamped to the screw winding (14) and rotated to ensure that the upper surfaces of the coating materials are at the same level. In the present invention, because the base (21) of the part numbered (2) is rotated on the coating materials, too much friction force arise. The applicator spends a lot of energy in order to overcome this friction force, the weight of the coating materials and the force created by the vacuum effect of the adhesive mortar. When the amount of these forces increases, the invention breaks off from the part numbered (12) due to the force required to bring the front surfaces of the coating materials to the same level. In addition, the part numbered (21) of the part number (2) rotating on the coating materials wears out in a very short time due to the friction force and cannot fulfill its function. Another disadvantage of the part (21) of the part (2) rotating on the coating materials is that this part is very difficult, troublesome and dysfunctional to rotate on the surfaces which are not flat on the visible side, which have relief, waves, and which are indented coating materials.

On the other hand, the part (11) is in contact with the edge parts of the coating materials. When force is applied to the part numbered (2), the part (11), which is in contact with the edge parts of the coating materials, increases the distance between the two coating materials, ie the joint width. It causes the joint width to widen. In the mentioned invention, the part numbered (21) of the part numbered (2) which brings the coating materials to the same level by applying pressure on the upper surface of the coating materials, does not have an additional part that can spread the force over the larger surface. This situation limits the use of the invention, especially at the joints of four or three coating materials, making it difficult to level the coating surfaces. Also, in the mentioned invention, the coating materials do not have an additional part that will provide verticality in the outer corner joints. Therefore, it cannot hold the coating materials that are positioned perpendicular to each other at the outer corners in a vertical position to each other.

Other inventions listed in the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) records with the publication number 204299130, 204609254 and 20190242143 are almost similar to each other in shape with the invention with publication number 208152508 mentioned above. The use of all three inventions is exactly the same as the invention with the publication number 208152508. Therefore, all disadvantageous situations identified in the above paragraph regarding the invention with publication number 208152508 are also valid for inventions with publication numbers 204299130, 204609254 and 20190242143.

Leveling equipment for building coating materials, according to the present invention and methods;

It consists of a total of 6 parts: the pole apparatus (1), tightening apparatus (2), holding apparatus (3), surface level apparatus (4), load spreading apparatus (5) and corner level apparatus (6). In line with the intended use, all the parts that make up the invention work in harmony with each other and functionally. According to the dimensions, thicknesses and positions of the coating materials

(7) in the entire coating, the parts that make up the invention get involved in the direction of functionality. For example, as seen in Figure 17 and Figure 40, in order to bring the joints of four coating materials (7) to the same level, 4 pole apparatuses (1), 4 tightening apparatuses (2), 4 holding apparatuses (3) and 4 surface level apparatuses(4) can be used and only 1 pole apparatus (1), 1 tightening apparatus (2), 1 holding apparatus (3) and 1 surface level apparatus (4) are used for the same work as shown in Figure 19 and Figure 38. On the other hand, for the same application, as shown in Figure 22 and Figure 39, only 1 pole apparatus (1), 1 tightening apparatus (2), 1 holding apparatus (3), 1 surface level apparatus (4) and 1 load spreading apparatus (5) are used.

The corner level apparatus (6), which is a part of the present invention, ensures that the coating materials (7) remain in vertical position relative to each other by keeping the joints of the outer corners (13) fixed. The said corner level apparatus (6) performs an extremely useful and functional task, especially at vertical corner joints formed by horizontal and vertical planes within a vertical wall. For example, the perpendicularity of the coating materials (7) at the joints of the inner surface parallel to the floor and the outer surface perpendicular to the floor of a window within a vertical wall is provided by the corner level apparatus (6) and the same apparatus prevents the coating material (7) on the inner surface of the window parallel to the floor from falling downwards due to gravity. The tightening apparatus (2), which enables the operation of the invention by activating the holding apparatus (3), is turned (rotated) by contacting the upper surface of the pole (1.a). In this way, the resulting friction force is very low. Thus, the applicator brings the coating materials (7) to the same level by spending very little energy.

The weight and physical dimensions of the surface leveling apparatus (4), which is the consumable part of the leveling tool for building coating materials, are much smaller than present inventions the technique of which are known. It is 2.5 times lighter in weight than the inventions in question, and occupies 2.4 times less space in volume. Therefore, it takes up less space, is lighter, generates less plastic waste and is less expensive.

The leveling tool for building coating materials is easy to use. The placement of the surface level apparatus (4) under the coating material (7) and the clamping of the holding apparatus (3) to the surface level apparatus (4) are performed quickly, easily and simply. The tightening apparatus (2), which provides the formation of the force that activates the surface level apparatus (4) and the holding apparatus (3) with which it is clamped, does not require much muscle power. Because the friction force is minimized as the tightening base (2.d) of the tightening apparatus (2) makes the rotational movement on the upper surface of the pole (1.a). Additionally, due to the structure of the nut threads (2.e) of the tightening apparatus (2) and the screw threads (3.b) of the holding apparatus (3), the muscle strength remains at a minimum level.

Thanks to the load spreading apparatus (5), the tightening force created at the base of the pole (1.g) spreads over a wider area on the coating materials (7), enabling the coating materials (7) to come to the same level more easily, quickly and with less muscle power. Figure 22, Figure 39.

Depending on the size, thickness and weight of the coating materials (7), the leveling tool for building coating materials can be used as 4 pieces (Figure 40) where 4 pieces of coating materials (7) meet, 3 pieces (Figure 41) can be used in the sections where 3 pieces of coating materials meet and only 1 can be used in these parts. Figure 38.

Even if the force created by the linear movement caused by the rotation of the squeezing apparatus (2) increases, the surface level apparatus (4), holding apparatus (3) and pole apparatus (1) do not break or disintegrate and the integrity of the system is not broken.

After the hardening and drying of the adhesive mortar (8) used in the application of the coating materials (7) is completed, the plastic mallet (11) and the body (1.c) of the pole apparatus (1) parallel to the length of the joint space (9), the surface level apparatus (4) breaking point (4.d) easily breaks Figure 36, Figure 37. After this process, the holding head (4.b) and vertical leg parts (4.c) of the broken surface level apparatus (12) remain in the holder channel (3.e) of the holding apparatus (3). By turning the tightening apparatus (2) to the left, the base (3.f) of the holding apparatus is brought to the same level with the pole base (1.g). Leveling device for building coating materials is turned so that the holding channel (3.e) faces the ground. Thus, with the effect of gravity, the holding head (4.b) and the vertical leg part (4.c) of the surface level apparatus (4) located in the holding channel (3.e) are easily dislocated.

The leveling tool for building coating materials does not change the width of the joint space (9) between the coating materials (7). The clamping apparatus (2), which is clamped to the surface level apparatus (4) and which activates the holding apparatus (3) towards the outside of the coating in a linear direction, is used to ensure that the joint gap (9) between the coating materials (7) does not expand, contract and remain fixed due to the force that occurs while turning. While the clamping apparatus (2) is rotated by hand, it is held by the handles (1.b) on the body (1.c) of the pole apparatus (1) with the other hand. Thus, the body (1.c) of the pole apparatus (1) remains fixed in its place and does not move left and right. Even if the visible front surface of the coating material (7) doesn’t have a smooth structure having waves, relief or protrusion, the leveling tool for building coating materials applies force from the front surface of the coating material (7) and since the pole base (1.g) realizing the leveling operation does not rotate on the coating material (7) and it applies vertical pressure force, it fulfills its functions completely.

The corner level apparatus (6), which is a part of the present invention, ensures that the coating materials (7) remain in vertical position relative to each other by keeping the joints of the outer corners (13) fixed. The said corner level apparatus (6) performs an extremely useful and functional task, especially at vertical corner joints formed by horizontal and vertical planes within a vertical wall. For example, the perpendicularity of the coating materials (7) at the joints of the inner surface parallel to the floor and the outer surface perpendicular to the floor of a window within a vertical wall is provided by the corner level apparatus (6) and the same apparatus prevents the coating material (7) on the inner surface of the window parallel to the floor from falling downwards due to gravity.

Production stages of the present invention;

All parts in the invention of leveling equipment for building coating materials, pole apparatus (1), tightening apparatus (2), holding apparatus (3), surface level apparatus (4), load spreading apparatus (5) and corner level apparatus (6) will be produced by the plastic injection method. Plastic injection is a manufacturing method that involves shaping the plastic raw material melted with the help of temperature by injecting it into a mold and removing it from the mold by cooling. During the injection phase, the granular plastic material is poured into the chamber on the injection unit. From there, it is taken into the cylinder, which is heated by resistance heaters, by means of a screw controlled by an electric motor. The screw moves the plastic material, which becomes molten under temperature and pressure, to the end of the cylinder by compression. When enough material is taken in front of the screw to fill the mold, the injection process begins. The molten plastic is sent into the mold through a nozzle at the end of the machine. Pressure and speed during this process are controlled by a hydraulic motor.
