20110247164 | Hand implement for bucket use - A hand implement for bucket use including a handle for gripping by a user to manipulate the implement for bucket use, the handle extending longitudinally and defining a first handle axis; and a blade formed from a rigid material and extending laterally outwardly from the handle, the blade including two side edges extending laterally outwardly from the handle in a contoured manner about a through-blade axis, the blade including a working edge extending between the two side edges, the working edge being curved about a second handle axis with a predetermined radius of curvature, the second handle axis extending parallelly with the first handle axis, and disposed from the first handle axis by a distance equal to the radius of curvature, the working edge extending along the cross-blade axis for blade fitment substantially against an inner bucket wall. | 10-13-2011 |
20110271476 | Precision Contouring Tool - Cold rolled, annealed, blue tempered spring steel and high density polytetrafluoroethylene are combined and specifically gauged, sized, and edged to form a precision contouring tool capable of shaping, contouring, and controlling the movement of synthetic fillers on damaged auto body panels, resulting in a perfectly shaped repair. For application involving flat panels a stiffening bar is frictionally fitted to the precision contouring tool. | 11-10-2011 |
20110271477 | Finger tool - A finger tool, having the structure and functions simulated from human finger, includes an elongated applicator body and a skeleton support. The applicator body has an applicator portion and a handle portion. The applicator portion, which is made of deformable material for providing a predetermined elasticity, defines an inclined applicator surface inclinedly extended from the top side to the bottom side. When a pressing force is applied on the top side of the applicator body at the applicator portion thereof, the pressing force is transmitted and evenly distributed at the applicator surface for shaping and smoothing said sealant at the narrow opening. The skeleton support is provided at the handle portion for providing a rigid framework at the handle portion and maintaining a shape thereof so as to ensure the pressing force being transmitted through the applicator portion of the applicator body. | 11-10-2011 |
20120036668 | Bladed tool with a bent blade-retaining shank - A bladed tool includes a handle and a blade with a surface-engaging edge and a blade-retaining shank. The handle includes an elongated handle body having longitudinally opposed body front and rear ends, and at least one side wall extending between the body front and rear ends. The side wall defines an outer surface configured for gripping by a user and an inner surface that defines an interior access channel extending from an access opening in the body rear end toward a forward channel wall located to the rear of the body front end. Situated between the body front end and the forward channel wall is a handle core that defines a shank-retaining slot extending between a forward slot-opening in the body front end and a rearward slot-opening in the forward channel wall. The shank extends rearwardly through the shank-retaining slot such that a protruding shank portion extends to the rear of the forward channel wall. Forward movement of the shank relative to the handle body is prevented by bending the shank rearward of the forward channel wall. | 02-16-2012 |
20120110769 | TROWEL WITH EASY ASSEMBLY AND EASILY REPLACEABLE BLADE - The invention is related to a trowel that can be easily assembled and replaced for blade. The trowel comprises a handgrip shank and a knife holder that can accommodate a blade. The knife holder has a crossing locking groove inside and its top is firmly attached to the top of the supporting surface of the shank by fasteners. Thus, a suitable gap is formed between the bottom of the knife holder and the supporting surface. As a result, when the knife back has multiple locking hooks apart in equal distance, the blade can use knife back to slide in from the knife holder side and be locked inside the locking groove with the locking hooks. This provides a firm assembly positioning without downward detachment. In addition, the blade can be quickly removed from the knife holder side for replacement. | 05-10-2012 |
20120260448 | DRYWALL KNIFE WITH BRACE - A drywall knife with a retractable brace is disclosed. The knife comprises a handle; a substantially planar, flexible blade hingedly attached to the handle; and a brace having a cross-member wherein the brace is attached to the handle and wherein the cross-member defines at least one substantially non-linear profile wherein the cross-member substantially imparts a substantially non-linear profile to the blade. The knife may further comprise the cross-member defining two or more substantially non-linear or arcuate profiles, and the cross-member may be positionable to substantially impart different non-linear profiles selectively to the blade. The cross-member may further define knobby contact surfaces contactable with the blade. The brace may be substantially T-shaped, and the brace may be retractable. | 10-18-2012 |
20140331432 | ADHESIVE SPREADER - A tool for distributing adhesive material on a flat surface, comprising two opposite side portions and a comb portion connecting said side portions, said side sections defining together with said comb portion on three sides a U-shaped open space for receiving adhesive material, and said comb portion having teeth and intermediate indentations. At least one of said side portions comprises at least one oblique section that is inclined towards an opposite side portion. | 11-13-2014 |
20150026907 | CEMENTITIOUS SURFACE FINISHING TOOL SYSTEM - A modular tool for imparting profile characteristics into fluent cementitious material. The tool has an elongated base forming a permanently fixed blade, and at least one handle. The blade is configured to act as a dovetail to which any of several modular blades may frictionally fit in removable fashion. The fixed blade forms a deflector disposed to deflect removed cementitious material away from the handles. Other blades may fit by peg and socket engagement. The tool may have detachable rollers enabling the tool to advance at a controlled elevation along a wall being formed and shaped. A slide block may be arranged to engage the rollers so as to adjust their position on the tool. The tool may have integral bubble levels. | 01-29-2015 |
