An applicator for dispensing seaming adhesive onto the edges of pieces of adjacent floor-covering material is provided. The applicator tip can include, from top to bottom, a leg portion, a relatively narrow ankle portion and a foot portion. The body can connect with a seaming adhesive dispensing device to allow seaming adhesive to flow into a passageway in the body. The ankle portion includes an orifice extending through the applicator tip from side-to-side and intersects with the passageway so that seaming adhesive can flow through the orifice. The foot portion includes a pair of opposing wedges extending sideways from the body. The applicator tip can be drawn along a line of abutment between adjacent pieces of floor-covering material. The ankle portion can further include a glue channel that directs the edges of the floor-covering material towards the orifice so that seaming adhesive can be dispensed along the edges and along the bottom surfaces of the edges.

The device is a tape having a pair of parallel perforated lines running lengthwise along the center of the tape having a pressure-sensitive adhesive coating on a bottom surface of said tape whereby the tape is comprised of three sections: a first adhesive section, a non-adhesive section and a second adhesive section, with the non-adhesive section defined by the perforated lines.

An apparatus and method for spreading grout configured to apply and spread grout, sealant, and other similar materials.

This invention belongs to the field of construction. More specifically, it covers a device that is suitable for finishing and sealing the joints and openings of different surfaces. The device includes a base, which is conical in its essence. The base has a collar to connect the device to the gun of sealant of finishing material; a holder is integrated with the base at an angle, a movable smoothing pad with a carriage has been fitted in the holder, and the carriage is installed in a casing inside holder. In the working position, there is a space between the smoothing pad and the tip of the nozzle of the tube, so that the material which is applied from the tube to the surface can visually be monitored and thus the desirable quantity dosed during the performance of the works.

A roll-up grout bag apparatus includes a dowel with a slot formed therethrough from an open end to a closed end thereof. A lever is engaged with the dowel at the closed end to facilitate rolling the dowel about an axis thereof. The slot receives a filling end of a grout bag and is rolled onto the dowel using the lever to urge grout within the bag to be dispensed from an opening at a narrow dispensing end of the bag. The apparatus may include a ratchet mechanism to engage the lever with the dowel.

A three-dimensional (3D) drawing device having a housing configured for manipulation by a user's hand and to accept a feed stock that is, in certain embodiments, a strand of thermoplastic. The drawing device has a nozzle assembly with an exit nozzle and a motor connected to a gear train that engages the strand of thermoplastic feed stock such that rotation of the motor causes the feed stock to be extruded out of the exit nozzle to form a three-dimensional object.

Provided is a tool that includes a handle assembly including a top portion and a bottom portion. The tool also includes a lock plate disposed between the top and bottom portions and having a deflectable arm having a free end biased towards the top portion, a fixed end opposite the free end, an inner edge, an outer edge, and a detent near the free end and the inner edge. The tool additionally includes a blade having first and second ends, an indent in a bottom surface of the blade near the first end for engaging the detent in a closed position, and a ramp on the bottom surface near the indent defining a reduced thickness portion of the blade that reduces in thickness from the indent towards an edge of the blade to reduce contact between the detent and the blade during rotation of the blade.

A caulking tool configured to be frictionally attached to a user's finger during use. The caulking tool in one example having; a convex caulk spreader comprising a pliable spreader surface configured to spread caulk smoothly between a first wall surface and a second wall surface to which the caulk is adhered. In one example junction between a first wall surface and a second wall surface will be in a corner junction between the two wall surfaces. In one example the caulking tool comprises a finger tube fixed to the caulk spreader. The finger tube may be cast with the spreader surface and thus forms a monolithic, single component without seams therebetween. The finger tube in one example having an inner surface configured to frictionally engage the outer surface of a user's finger. In one example the inner surface of the finger tube is tapered from a first longitudinal end to a second longitudinal end.

An adjustable knockdown tool includes a coupling member, a blade support, and an actuator. The coupling member includes a housing defining a channel. The housing includes an actuator receptacle and a locking element that is located between the actuator receptacle and the channel. The locking element is movable between locking and releasing positions. The blade support extends through the channel and is coupled to a blade member. The blade support is rotatable relative to the channel when the locking element is at the releasing position so as to change an angle of the blade member, and the blade support is fixed relative to the channel when the locking element is at the locking position so as to fix the angle of the blade member. The actuator is configured to be coupled to the actuator receptacle to cause the locking element to move from the releasing to the locking position.
