Definitions

  • This invention relates to a hand held device utilized to smooth and feather filler material.
  • filler material to improve the appearance of their work.
  • Such filler material is used around door trim, windows, baseboard, tubs, showers, sinks, imperfections in walls, corners and other areas where professional finished appearance and/or sealing is desirable.
  • filler material was commonly applied with one's finger, a stick, a spoon etc. Thereafter, inventors created several types of devices to accomplish the task. Some devices are used in conjunction with a caulking gun. Other devices are hand held but have various limitations. An effective tool to smooth and feather filler material, accommodate varying angles of intersection and irregular surfaces producing a professional appearance would be beneficial.
  • a filler material finishing tool is comprised of an elongated triangular shaped elastomeric material utilized with or without a handle to smooth and feather filler material.
  • a caulk applicator is contemplated as having an elongated triangular shaped elastomeric piece that will smooth and feather filler material when drawn over said filler material, and the applicator is accompanied with a written instruction that the piece is capable of smoothing and feathering filler material when drawn over said filler material.
  • Fig. 1 is a perspective elevation of the tool in use.
  • Fig. 2 is a perspective elevation of the tool in use with a handle.
  • Fig. 3 is a perspective elevation of the tool with a handle in use applying filler material to a wall and baseboard joint.
  • Fig. 4 is a perspective elevation of the tool with a handle attached inserted in an obtuse angle of intersection of two planar surfaces.
  • Fig. 5 is a perspective elevation of the tool with a handle attached inserted in an acute angle of intersection of two planar surfaces.
  • Fig. 6 is a perspective elevation of the tool with a handle attached inserted on edge in a small acute angle of intersection of two planar surfaces.
  • Fig. 7A is a perspective front elevation of the tool.
  • Fig. 7B is a perspective back elevation of the tool.
  • Fig. 8 is a side elevation of the tool.
  • Fig. 9 is a front elevation of the tool.
  • Fig. 1OA is an exploded perspective elevation of the tool with a handle.
  • Fig. 1OB is a perspective elevation of the tool with a handle.
  • Fig. HA is a front elevation of the tool to form a convex bead of filler material.
  • Fig. HB is a front elevation of the tool to form a flat bead of filler material.
  • Fig. HC is a front elevation of the tool to form a concave bead of filler material.
  • the filler material finishing tool 20 comprises an elongated triangular shape of predetermined length formed of elastomeric material. Said elastomeric material may vary from very soft to firm enabling filler material finishing tool 20 to comply with the viscosity of filler material used.
  • the filler material finishing tool 20 is formed of silicone.
  • the filler material finishing tool 20 can consist of any of a wide variety of elastomeric material such as, rubber, vinyl, foam, etc. It can be manufactured by extrusion and cut to a predetermined length or injection molded.
  • Front 50 (Fig. 7A and 8) is typically inclined at an acute angle 68 with vertex 71 (Fig. 8).
  • Fig. 1 IA side walls 56, 58 join to form a convex side wall vertex 80.
  • Top 54 intersects at an acute angle 72, 73 with sides 56, 58 (Fig. 9).
  • sides 56, 58 typically intersect forming an oblique angle 70 at vertex 71.
  • Top, side walls typically intersect forming an acute angle 72, 73.
  • Fig. 1 IA shows sides 56, 58 joining to form a rounded convex intersection 80 to smooth filler material in a concave shape.
  • Back wall 52 (Fig. 7B) typically intersects top 54, and side walls 56, 58 (Fig. 9) at an approximate right angle at edges 62, 65 and 66.
  • Front 50, top wall 54 intersection 60 (Fig. 7 A, 8) typically forms an obtuse angle 61 (Fig. 8).
  • FIG. 2 Additional embodiments are shown in Figs. 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 1OA and 1OB in which a handle 30 is attached to the filler material tool 20.
  • Fig. 1 IB shows sides 56, 58 joining to form a flat sidewall intersection 82 to smooth filler material in a flat shape.
  • Fig. 11C shows sides 56, 58 joining to form a concave sidewall intersection 84 enabling a convex formation of filler material.
  • filler material 40 is applied to a joint formed by the perpendicular intersection of two planar surfaces, tool 20 (Fig. 1) is held by one's hand drawing it along the joint smoothing and feathering filler material 44.
  • vertex 71 Fig. 9
  • sides 56, 58 Fig. 7A, 7B, 9) smooth and feather it.
  • Filler material finishing tool 20 as shown in Fig. 1 without a handle is well suited for use in confined working spaces.
  • Fig. 2 shows tool 20 in use with handle 30 attached.
  • Handle 30 provides the user enhanced ease of use and control of tool 20.
  • Fig. 3 tool 20 is shown inserted at the joint of a planar surface 92 and baseboard 93 illustrating the ability of the tool's elastomeric properties to conform to irregular surfaces 90.
  • the tool's 20 elastomeric properties enables it to conform to oblique angles of intersection 102 between two planar surfaces 94, 95.
  • the tool's 20 elastomeric composition enables it to conform to acute angles of intersection 104 between two planar surfaces 96, 97.
  • Fig. 6 the tool 20 is shown with edge 63 (Fig. 9) inserted in a small acute angle 106 (Fig. 6) of intersection between two planar surfaces 98, 99 (Fig. 6). Both edges 63 and 64 can be utilized to apply filler material from opposite directions in a limited working space.
  • the filler material finishing tool can be used without a handle to apply filler material in a confined space.
  • the filler material finishing tool can be used with a handle when space permits providing superior control of the tool.
  • the filler material finishing tool comprised of elastomeric material provides the ability for the "do-it-yourselfer” to attain smoothed and feathered filler material with professional results.
  • Elastomeric composition of the filler material finishing tool enables the user to apply filler material perpendicular joints and irregular joints surfaces such as that formed by baseboard and wall joint, obtuse joints, acute joints and small acute joints.
  • the filler material finishing tool of this invention can be used to easily and conveniently apply filler material with professional results. Furthermore, the filler material finishing tool has the additional advantages in that:
  • the back of filler material finishing tool may intersect with the top and sides at other than a perpendicular angle; the front may join the vertex in an obtuse angle; sides, top, front and back may be formed by a curved surface, etc.
  • the back of filler material finishing tool may intersect with the top and sides at other than a perpendicular angle; the front may join the vertex in an obtuse angle; sides, top, front and back may be formed by a curved surface, etc.
