Definitions
- the invention relates to tools for reworking joints which are filled with permanently elastic joint compound, in particular plastic compound.
- the excess joint material can often be very difficult to smooth or remove.
- the spatula or similar aids can be used as tools. At edges, corners or other inaccessible places, however, processing with these tools is not possible or only with great difficulty because the shape and dimensions of the tools do not allow smoothing out at unfavorable points.
- the tools are difficult to handle even on flat surfaces, since they usually have a handle that is gripped with the whole hand. Some tradesmen therefore prefer to use their own fingers to smooth the grout. However, the inaccessible areas can only be insufficiently worked with the fingers.
- Another problem is that the known tools absorb the jointing compound poorly in the sense that it falls off the tool again during the smoothing process and thereby contaminates parts in the environment, for example tiles.
- crepe tapes are often used, which are attached to the edge of the joint and removed after the joint has been smoothed. This often causes the joint edges to become uneven or smeared. In addition, even with careful work, it cannot be excluded that the joint compound will crumble off the adhesive tape and the tiles will become dirty or fall into the newly smoothed joint.
- the invention has set itself the task of specifying a tool with which joints can be smoothed with simple handling and with the excess joint material can be removed exactly and without further aids.
- the object is achieved in that the tool is a flat plate with a substantially constant thickness and with a peripheral edge which projects on both sides perpendicular to the plate plane and which in turn consists of three adjoining edges, two edges being straight and one edge being arcuate runs, with the two straight edges and the longer of the two straight edges and the curved edge enclose an acute angle.
- the tool has corners with angles that are smaller than 90 ° so that edges, which are usually rectangular in buildings, can also be processed effortlessly. As is known, this is the case with triangles at at least two corners, which is why the tool approximately has the shape of a triangle Has.
- One edge of the tool is bent, which gives the machined joint an inward curvature due to the smoothing. Due to the circumferential edge, the excess, stripped joint material is spoon-like absorbed by the tool, which prevents the joint material from being deposited again on tiles or other parts adjacent to the joint.
- the tool is reinforced by the edges, whereby the plate is relatively hard at the edge and there is maximum force development without the flexibility of the tool suffering, since it is relatively thin and soft on the inside and can therefore be optimally adapted by bending.
- the shape of the tool is designed so that the joints can be optimally reworked even in inaccessible places and that the tool is easy and effortless to use.
- the joints are razor-sharp and precisely removed without the surrounding tiles becoming dirty.
- the use of masking tape for masking the joint edges can be omitted, which means a considerable saving in work.
- the curved edge is convexly curved, so that the tool has a simple and compact design.
- the arc-shaped edge is shaped so that the distance of the arc-shaped edge from the longer straight edge increases continuously from the common corner of the said edges in the direction of the shorter straight edge, i. H. the curved edge has no bulges, which means that the width of the tool is not unnecessarily increased.
- the two edges can thus form a corner or preferably merge into one another in an arc.
- a right angle between these edges is expedient in order to enable simple machining of joints in right-angled corners.
- the radius of the arc lies approximately in the region of half the width of typical joints of the material to be processed, so that attractive, quarter-circle joint surfaces can be designed with it.
- the end face of the edge preferably runs completely or partially perpendicular to the plate plane.
- this embodiment of the invention has the advantage that very narrow surfaces are created which allow the joints to be smoothed even in areas which are difficult to access.
- the tool with the vertically running part of the edge end face can be placed flat against the joint, so that even minor damage to the edge, which more or less inevitably occurs after long use of the tool, does not affect the work result.
- the outside of the edge merges into an edge in its top and bottom.
- the edge cuts material that protrudes from the joint in such a way that a smooth and attractive joint surface is created.
- Particularly suitable is an edge that runs perpendicular to the plate plane and merges at a right angle in the top and bottom sides parallel to the plate plane, since the edge that is created in this way wears only little and guarantees a good work result even with minor damage.
- the material for the tool is a thermoplastic or elastomer in order to achieve sufficient flexibility, sufficient strength at the edge and abrasion resistance.
- edges are also expediently adapted to manual use.
- the drawing shows a schematic representation of a tool according to the invention with a view of a plate plane (1) which is surrounded by a peripheral edge (2), which in turn consists of a longer straight edge (3), a shorter straight edge (4) and one curved edge (5) is formed so that approximately the shape of a triangle is formed.
- the corner between the longer straight edge (4) and the curved edge is rounded and is as well as the angle enclosed by the two straight edges (3, 4).
- the outside of the circumferential edge (2) runs perpendicular to the plate plane (1) and merges at a right angle into the top and bottom of the edge (2), so that a further edge is created with which excess material wipes off well from a joint leaves.

Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf Werkzeuge zur Nacharbeit von Fugen, die mit dauerelastischer Fugenmasse, insbesondere Kunststoffmasse gefüllt sind.The invention relates to tools for reworking joints which are filled with permanently elastic joint compound, in particular plastic compound.
Bei der Bearbeitung von Fugen kann das überschüssige Fugenmaterial oft nur sehr schwer geglättet oder abgetragen werden. Als Werkzeuge kommen dabei die Spachtel oder ähnliche Hilfsmittel in Betracht. An Kanten, Ecken oder anderen unzugänglichen Stellen ist jedoch mit diesen Werkzeugen eine Bearbeitung nicht oder nur sehr schwer möglich, weil die Form und die Abmessungen der Werkzeuge kein Glattstreichen an ungünstigen Punkten erlauben. Außerdem sind die Werkzeuge auch bei ebenen Flächen umständlich zu handhaben, da sie meist einen Griff aufweisen, der mit der ganzen Hand umfaßt wird. Mancher Handwerker benutzt daher lieber die eigenen Finger zum Glattstreichen der Fugenmasse. Jedoch lassen sich mit den Fingern die unzugänglichen Stellen auch nur unzureichend bearbeiten.When processing joints, the excess joint material can often be very difficult to smooth or remove. The spatula or similar aids can be used as tools. At edges, corners or other inaccessible places, however, processing with these tools is not possible or only with great difficulty because the shape and dimensions of the tools do not allow smoothing out at unfavorable points. In addition, the tools are difficult to handle even on flat surfaces, since they usually have a handle that is gripped with the whole hand. Some tradesmen therefore prefer to use their own fingers to smooth the grout. However, the inaccessible areas can only be insufficiently worked with the fingers.
Ein weiteres Problem besteht darin, daß von den bekannten Werkzeugen die Fugenmasse in dem Sinne nur schlecht aufgenommen wird, daß sie während des Glattstreichens wieder von dem Werkzeug fällt und dadurch Teile in der Umgebung, zum Beispiel Fliesen, verunreinigt.Another problem is that the known tools absorb the jointing compound poorly in the sense that it falls off the tool again during the smoothing process and thereby contaminates parts in the environment, for example tiles.
Zum Schutz der Fliesen vor Verschmutzung werden deshalb oftmals Krepp-Klebebänder verwendet, die am Fugenrand angebracht und nach dem Glattstreichen der Fuge wieder entfernt werden. Die Fugenränder werden dadurch oft ungleichmäßig oder verschmieren. Außerdem kann auch bei sorgfältiger Arbeit nicht ausgeschlossen werden, daß beim Abziehen die Fugenmasse vom Klebeband abbröckelt und die Fliesen verschmutzt oder in die soeben geglättete Fuge fällt.To protect the tiles from dirt, crepe tapes are often used, which are attached to the edge of the joint and removed after the joint has been smoothed. This often causes the joint edges to become uneven or smeared. In addition, even with careful work, it cannot be excluded that the joint compound will crumble off the adhesive tape and the tiles will become dirty or fall into the newly smoothed joint.
Demgegenüber hat sich die Erfindung zur Aufgabe gemacht, ein Werkzeug anzugeben, mit dem bei einfacher Handhabung Fugen geglättet werden können und mit dem überschüssiges Fugenmaterial exakt und ohne weitere Hilfsmittel abgetragen werden kann.In contrast, the invention has set itself the task of specifying a tool with which joints can be smoothed with simple handling and with the excess joint material can be removed exactly and without further aids.
Erfindungsgemäß wird die Aufgabe dadurch gelöst, daß das Werkzeug eine ebene Platte mit einer im wesentlichen konstanten Dicke und mit einem umlaufenden, beidseitig senkrecht zur Plattenebene überstehenden Rand ist, der seinerseits aus drei aneinander anschließenden Kanten besteht, wobei zwei Kanten gerade sind und eine Kante bogenförmig verläuft, wobei die beiden geraden Kanten sowie die längere der beiden geraden Kanten und die gebogene Kante einen spitzen Winkel einschließen.According to the invention the object is achieved in that the tool is a flat plate with a substantially constant thickness and with a peripheral edge which projects on both sides perpendicular to the plate plane and which in turn consists of three adjoining edges, two edges being straight and one edge being arcuate runs, with the two straight edges and the longer of the two straight edges and the curved edge enclose an acute angle.
Damit auch Kanten, die in Gebäuden üblicherweise rechtwinklig sind, mühelos bearbeitet werden können, besitzt das Werkzeug Ecken, deren Winkel kleiner als 90° sind. Dies ist bekanntermaßen bei Dreiecken an mindestens zwei Ecken gegeben, weshalb das Werkzeug annäherungsweise die Form eines Dreiecks hat. Eine Kante des Werkzeugs ist dabei gebogen, wodurch die bearbeitete Fuge durch das Glattstreichen eine Krümmung nach innen erhält. Durch den umlaufenden Rand wird das überschüssige, abgestriffene Fugenmaterial löffelartig vom Werkzeug aufgenommen, wodurch verhindert wird, daß sich das Fugenmaterial wieder an Fliesen oder anderen der Fuge benachbarten Teile absetzt. Außerdem ist das Werkzeug durch die Kanten verstärkt, wodurch die Platte am Rand relativ hart ist und eine maximale Kraftentwicklung gegeben ist, ohne daß die Flexibilität des Werkzeugs leidet, da es im Inneren relativ dünn und weich ist und somit durch Biegen optimal angepaßt werden kann.The tool has corners with angles that are smaller than 90 ° so that edges, which are usually rectangular in buildings, can also be processed effortlessly. As is known, this is the case with triangles at at least two corners, which is why the tool approximately has the shape of a triangle Has. One edge of the tool is bent, which gives the machined joint an inward curvature due to the smoothing. Due to the circumferential edge, the excess, stripped joint material is spoon-like absorbed by the tool, which prevents the joint material from being deposited again on tiles or other parts adjacent to the joint. In addition, the tool is reinforced by the edges, whereby the plate is relatively hard at the edge and there is maximum force development without the flexibility of the tool suffering, since it is relatively thin and soft on the inside and can therefore be optimally adapted by bending.
Die Vorteile der Erfindung sind vor allen Dingen darin zu sehen, daß die Form des Werkzeugs so gestaltet ist, daß damit die Fugen auch an unzugänglichen Stellen optimal nachgearbeitet werden können und daß das Werkzeug leicht und mühelos zu handhaben ist. Die Fugen werden messerscharf und exakt abgetragen, ohne daß es zu einer Verschmutzung der umgebenden Fliesen kommt. Die Verwendung von Klebe-Kreppband zum Abkleben der Fugenränder kann dadurch entfallen, was eine erhebliche Arbeitsersparnis bedeutet.The advantages of the invention are above all to be seen in the fact that the shape of the tool is designed so that the joints can be optimally reworked even in inaccessible places and that the tool is easy and effortless to use. The joints are razor-sharp and precisely removed without the surrounding tiles becoming dirty. The use of masking tape for masking the joint edges can be omitted, which means a considerable saving in work.
In einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist die gebogene Kante konvex gekrümmt, so daß das Werkzeug eine einfache und kompakte Gestaltung aufweist. Weiterhin ist eine abgerundete Ecke zwischen der längeren geraden Kante und der gebogenen Kante vorgesehen. Damit steht je nach Bedarf eine abgerundete und eine nicht abgerundete Ecke mit spitzem Winkel zur Verfügung. Durch einen kontinuierlichen Übergang der Krümmung vom geringen Krümmungsradius der abgerundeten Ecke in den größeren Krümmungsradius der gebogenen Kante ist eine je nach Wunsch variierbare Eintiefung der glattgestrichenen Fuge erreichbar.In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the curved edge is convexly curved, so that the tool has a simple and compact design. There is also a rounded corner between the longer straight edge and the curved edge. This makes a rounded one as needed and a non-rounded corner with an acute angle. Through a continuous transition of the curvature from the small radius of curvature of the rounded corner to the larger radius of curvature of the curved edge, a depression of the smoothed joint that can be varied as desired can be achieved.
Damit die Handhabung des Werkzeugs an unzugänglichen Stellen nicht behindert wird, ist die bogenförmige Kante so geformt, daß der Abstand der bogenförmigen Kante von der längeren geraden Kante stetig von der gemeinsamen Ecke der genannten Kanten in Richtung der kürzeren geraden Kante zunimmt, d. h. die gebogene Kante besitzt keine Ausbuchtungen, wodurch die Breite des Werkzeuges nicht unnötig vergrößert wird.So that the handling of the tool is not hindered in inaccessible places, the arc-shaped edge is shaped so that the distance of the arc-shaped edge from the longer straight edge increases continuously from the common corner of the said edges in the direction of the shorter straight edge, i. H. the curved edge has no bulges, which means that the width of the tool is not unnecessarily increased.
Wie der Übergang von der kürzeren geraden Kante zur gebogenen Kante ausgestaltet ist, ist im Rahmen des der Erfindung zugrunde gelegten Gedankens beliebig. So können die beiden Kanten eine Ecke bilden oder vorzugsweise in einem Bogen ineinander übergehen. Zweckmäßig ist ein rechter Winkel zwischen diesen Kanten, um eine einfache Bearbeitung von Fugen in rechtwinkligen Ecken zu ermöglichen. Im Fall eines bogenförmigen Übergangs beider Kanten wird vorgeschlagen, daß der Radius des Bogens etwa im Bereich der halben Breite typischer Fugen des zu verarbeitenden Materials liegt, so daß mit ihm ansprechende, viertelkreisförmige Fugenoberflächen zu gestalten sind.How the transition from the shorter straight edge to the curved edge is designed is arbitrary within the scope of the idea on which the invention is based. The two edges can thus form a corner or preferably merge into one another in an arc. A right angle between these edges is expedient in order to enable simple machining of joints in right-angled corners. In the case of an arcuate transition of both edges, it is proposed that the radius of the arc lies approximately in the region of half the width of typical joints of the material to be processed, so that attractive, quarter-circle joint surfaces can be designed with it.
Die Stirnfläche des Randes verläuft vorzugsweise ganz oder teilweise senkrecht der Plattenebene. Einerseits hat diese Ausgestaltung der Erfindung den Vorzug, daß so sehr schmale Flächen entstehen, die auch in schwer zugänglichen Bereichen ein Glattstreichen der Fugen gestatten. Andererseits läßt sich das Werkzeug mit dem senkrecht verlaufenden Teil der Randstirnseite flächig an die Fuge anlegen, so daß auch kleinere Beschädigungen des Randes, wie sie nach längerem Gebrauch des Werkzeuges mehr oder weniger zwangsläufig auftreten, das Arbeitsergebnis nicht beeinflussen.The end face of the edge preferably runs completely or partially perpendicular to the plate plane. On the one hand, this embodiment of the invention has the advantage that very narrow surfaces are created which allow the joints to be smoothed even in areas which are difficult to access. On the other hand, the tool with the vertically running part of the edge end face can be placed flat against the joint, so that even minor damage to the edge, which more or less inevitably occurs after long use of the tool, does not affect the work result.
Um die Abstreifwirkung für überschüssiges Material zu verbessern, ist vorgesehen, daß die Außenseite des Randes in einer Kante in seine Ober- und Unterseite übergeht. Die Kante schneidet aus der Fuge herausstehendes Material derart ab, daß eine glatte und ansprechende Fugenoberfläche entsteht. Geeignet ist insbesondere ein Rand, der senkrecht der Plattenebene verläuft und in einen rechten Winkel in Ober- und Unterseiten parallel der Plattenebene übergeht, da sich die so entstehende Kante nur wenig abnutzt und auch bei geringfügigen Beschädigungen ein gutes Arbeitsergebnis garantiert.In order to improve the stripping effect for excess material, it is provided that the outside of the edge merges into an edge in its top and bottom. The edge cuts material that protrudes from the joint in such a way that a smooth and attractive joint surface is created. Particularly suitable is an edge that runs perpendicular to the plate plane and merges at a right angle in the top and bottom sides parallel to the plate plane, since the edge that is created in this way wears only little and guarantees a good work result even with minor damage.
Nimmt der Überstand des Randes in Richtung auf das Plattenzentrum zu ab, so wird vermieden, daß überschüssiges Material, welches von der Fugenoberfläche abgestriffen wird, sich am Rand des Werkzeuges ansammelt. Vielmehr gleitet es bei einem derartig gestalteten Rand auf die Plattenebene ab. Zusammen mit einer senkrecht der Plattenebene verlaufenden Stirnseite des Randes entsteht eine messerartige Schneidekante, die eine sehr glatte Fugenoberfläche entstehen läßt.If the overhang of the edge increases in the direction of the center of the plate, it is avoided that excess material which is stripped from the joint surface accumulates on the edge of the tool. Rather, it slides onto the plate level with such an edge. Together with one that runs perpendicular to the plate plane The front of the edge creates a knife-like cutting edge, which creates a very smooth joint surface.
Als Material für das Werkzeug bietet sich ein Thermoplast oder Elastomer an, um ausreichende Flexibilität, genügende Festigkeit am Rand und Abriebfestigkeit zu erreichen.The material for the tool is a thermoplastic or elastomer in order to achieve sufficient flexibility, sufficient strength at the edge and abrasion resistance.
Um die Flexibilität im Inneren und die Festigkeit am Rand zu gewährleisten ist es außerdem notwendig, das Werkzeug entsprechend zu bemaßen. Auch die Längen der Kanten sind zweckmäßigerweise auf die manuelle Benutzung abgestimmt.In order to ensure the flexibility inside and the strength at the edge, it is also necessary to dimension the tool accordingly. The lengths of the edges are also expediently adapted to manual use.
Weitere Einzelheiten, Merkmale und Vorteile der Erfindung lassen sich dem nachfolgenden Beschreibungsteil entnehmen, in dem anhand der Zeichnung ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung näher erläutert wird.Further details, features and advantages of the invention can be found in the following description, in which an embodiment of the invention is explained in more detail with reference to the drawing.
Die Zeichnung zeigt in schematischer Darstellung ein erfindungsgemäßes Werkzeug mit der Sicht auf eine Plattenebene (1), welche von einem umlaufenden Rand (2) umgeben wird, der wiederum aus einer längeren geraden Kante (3), einer kürzeren geraden Kante (4) und einer gebogenen Kante (5) gebildet wird, so daß ungefähr die Form eines Dreiecks entsteht. Die Ecke zwischen der längeren geraden Kante (4) und der gebogenen Kante ist abgerundet und ist ebenso wie der Winkel, der von den beiden geraden Kanten (3, 4) eingeschlossen wird, spitz. Die Außenseite des umlaufenden Randes (2) verläuft senkrecht der Plattenebene (1) und geht in rechtem Winkel in die Ober- und Unterseite des Randes (2) über, so daß eine weitere Kante entsteht, mit der sich überschüssiges Material gut aus einer Fuge abstreifen läßt.The drawing shows a schematic representation of a tool according to the invention with a view of a plate plane (1) which is surrounded by a peripheral edge (2), which in turn consists of a longer straight edge (3), a shorter straight edge (4) and one curved edge (5) is formed so that approximately the shape of a triangle is formed. The corner between the longer straight edge (4) and the curved edge is rounded and is as well as the angle enclosed by the two straight edges (3, 4). The outside of the circumferential edge (2) runs perpendicular to the plate plane (1) and merges at a right angle into the top and bottom of the edge (2), so that a further edge is created with which excess material wipes off well from a joint leaves.
