BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE ACCOMPANYING DRAWINGS:
The invention will now be described in relation to the accompanying drawings, in which: FIGURE 1 illustrates a schematic line drawing showing the system of this invention; FIGURE 2 illustrates a close-up view of the hawk and delivery mechanism of the system of this invention; FIGURE 3 illustrates a pump located atop follower plate; and FIGURE 4 illustrates a pneumatic diagram for the working of this invention.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE ACCOMPANYING DRAWINGS: According to this invention, there is provided a self-loading plastering hawk system (100).
FIGURE 1 illustrates a schematic line drawing showing the system of this invention.
FIGURE 2 illustrates a close-up view of the hawk and delivery mechanism of the system of this invention.
In at least an embodiment, the system comprises a container (12) configured to hold plaster that is either made in this container (12) or is poured into this container (12) from elsewhere. Typically, this container (12) is a trolley-mounted container (12), in that, the container (12) sits on a wheeled trolley (14) which can be moved from one place to another; thereby, providing portability to the entire system. In a preferred embodiment, as seen in Figure 1 of the accompanying drawings, a trolley handle (14a), fixed wheel/s (14b), swiveling wheel's (14c) can be seen. This container (12) may be fixed onto the trolley (14).
In at least an embodiment, the system comprises a pump (16) configured to pump out the plaster from the container (12) for further use. The pump (16) is located on top of a follower plate (27) which sits on top of the container (12) when suction is required. The weight of the pump (16), combined with suction force of the pump (16), forces the follower plate down. The follower plate has a rubber outer ring to enable to fit most size containers (12).
FIGURE 3 illustrates a pump located atop follower plate.
In preferred embodiments, the pump 06) is coaxial with the follower plate (27).
The pump can either be run by 110 volts from sites (of use) or normal residential electricity voltage. The pump is configured to pump the plaster from up to 200ft and through a plurality of hoses connected to the container or pump (12).
In at least an embodiment, the system comprises a plastering hawk (20) coupled to the container (12) by means of a flexible hose (18). The flexible hose (18) is a conduit which allows transfer of plaster from the container (12) to the plastering hawk (20). The plastering hawk's (20) handle has a swivel joint, which interfaces with the flexible hose (18), in order to make it easier for a plasterer to utilize. The plastering hawk (20) comprises a through-hole (22); the posterior side of plastering hawk (20), at the though-hole (22), is where the flexible hose (18) mates / meshes with the plastering hawk (20). The anterior side of the plastering hawk (20), at the though-hole, the plaster (25) pushes through and out onto the plastering hawk (20) for use by a plasterer. The plastering hawk (20), at its anterior side, comprises a hawk handle (19) which is where the hose (18) couples itself The operative top end of this hawk handle is where the through-hole (22) of the plastering hawk (20) is located. The surface of the plastering hawk (20) may be coated with a Teflon-type additive to give it more longevity.
There may be a plurality of hoses (18), extending from a single container (12) pumped by a single pump (16), connected to their corresponding plastering hawks (20); thereby, forming a one-to-many configuration and thereby, allowing a plurality of workers to work a site from a single container (12) of plaster.
In at least an embodiment, the system comprises a trigger (24) associated with a valve (24a), the trigger (24) being located, ergonomically, with respect to the plastering hawk (20) in order to allow a plasterer to control release of plaster onto the plastering hawk (20). Typically, this trigger (24) is coupled with a compressor (26) configured to turn the flow of plaster on or off in consonance with trigger position as controlled by the plasterer. E.g. when the plasterer pulls the trigger (24), the plaster will be delivered directly on to the plastering hawk (20) and there is no need to walk back towards and away from the plaster supply (i.e. the container) for topping up the plastering hawk. Particularly, the compressor (26) is designed to cut out when the plasterer releases the trigger (24); this is to stop any build-up of pressure through the system and also so that the plaster does not keep on arriving at the hawk constantly. Typically, the compressor (26) is run by an electric system that is sitting on a receiver tank which holds its air store. When air pressure drops, the compressor automatically runs as it will when the trigger (24) is pulled on the plastering hawk (20).
Basically, the trigger (24) starts and stops the pump (16) by correspondingly allowing air supply to the pump and cutting off air supply to the pump. The compressor (26) stops of its own accord via its fully automated controlled integral pressure switch.
The trigger (24), when not engaged by the plasterer, cuts the pump (16) off and stops any further pressure build-up of the plaster in the hose; so, there are no uncontrollable spurts of plaster when the pump (16) is engaged again by the plasterer by engaging with the trigger (24). This allows for seamless / fluid flow of plaster from the container (12) to the plastering hawk (20).
The compressor (26) functions in an autonomous manner.
In at least an embodiment, the compressor (26), once switched on, builds pressure in the receiver tank. Once the pressure in the receiver tank reaches a preset pressure, an integral pressure switch shuts the compressor (26) off. The integral pressure switch has a differential position. Once the pressure drops below that differential position the compressor (26) starts again and builds back up to the preset pressure whereupon it will stop again until the pressure drops to the differential position whereupon it will start again. The compressor (26) will function in this manner constantly while the entire system is being utilised.
The hose (18) that the plaster is delivered through is, preferably, a transparent / translucent hose so that one can actually gauge the plaster in the hose (18).
The optimum pressure for at least 1 plasterer is between 3 and 7 bar.
In at least an embodiment, there is also provided a belt with a clip that can keep the hose (18) where desired and to take away any weight from a plasterers arm.
When the plasterer has finished the plastering job, one can clean the system by by simply placing the pump in a bucket of water and forcing the water through; this takes around 10 to 15 seconds to allow clear water to run through so it is now clean and ready to be used again.
The plastering system, of this invention, is configured to do both finish plaster and bonding plaster and as well as a dry wall adhesive.
The system of this invention is based on piston pump compressed air where the compressed air is not a constant but controlled by a trigger associated with the plastering hawk via either an air switch that runs with the hose from container to plastering hawk or electrical connection means. In one other embodiment, the communicable coupling between the trigger and the compressor may be wireless in nature.
FIGURE 4 illustrates a pneumatic diagram for the working of this invention.
The TECHNICAL ADVANCEMENT of this invention lies in providing a single machine which allows for controlled release of plaster towards a person using a plastering hawk; avoiding spurts and enabling seamless / fluid user-controlled flow.
While this detailed description has disclosed certain specific embodiments for illustrative purposes, various modifications will be apparent to those skilled in the art which do not constitute departures from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined in the following claims, and it is to be distinctly understood that the foregoing descriptive matter is to be interpreted merely as illustrative of the invention and not as a limitation.
