A combination trowel may include a handle, a flat-edge blade coupled to the handle, and a notched-edge blade coupled to the handle and located along a first surface of the flat-edge blade. In some embodiments, the notched-edge blade is slideably coupled to the handle such that the notched-edge blade can extend and retract with respect to the handle. A thumb slide coupled to the handle may be configured to facilitate the extension and retraction. The handle may comprise a first portion and a second portion, and the second portion may be configured to extend and retract with respect to the first portion. A first rivet and a second rivet may be used to couple the handle to the flat-edge blade and the notched-edge blade.

This disclosure relates to a trowel and/or float having a utilitarian and adjustable level built-in for ease of use and creating uniform, properly angled, smooth surfaces, and replaceable undersides for creating various effects all in one simple to use tool.

A mounting adapter for rotatably mounting a tool holding body having first and second surfaces on at least one spider arm of a motor driven rotatable spider assembly of a surface processing apparatus. The mounting adapter includes a disc with a flex pad dimensioned to rest on a portion of the disc upper surface between a disc aperture and a disc rib. A drive ring has an inner periphery which mechanically engages an outer periphery of the disc.

A hand held combined tool for drywall taping including a drywall tape applicator attached to a smoothening blade is described. The dry wall tape applicator includes a gated protrusion for feeding a dry wall tape through a ridged slot and to be held securely in position by a user before dipping the dry wall tape in a joint compound container to coat the dry wall tape with the joint compound on both side of the dry wall tape. The user then pulls the dry wall tape through the gated protrusion and the ridged slot to obtain a uniformly dual side coated drywall tape ready to be placed on a joint and to be immediately smoothened with the smoothening blade attached to the dry wall tape applicator.

A spreading tool allows width and depth variation of the spreading blade. A plate has first openings and second openings along with a first bottom edge. A blade has slots and is pressed against the plate so that the slots each align with a respective one first opening and a securement bolt is passed therethrough, the blade slid up or down against the plate so that the lower edge of the blade extends a desired distance below the bottom of the plate prior to bolt tightening. An extender has third openings and is pressed against the opposing surface of the plate so that its openings align with the second openings of the plate with securement bolts pass therethrough. A lower edge of the extender aligns with the bottom edge of the plate and extends beyond a side of the plate.

The present invention is a trowel having a blade with a rounded side edge, a straight side edge, and a notched edge between the rounded side edge and the straight side edge. The trowel may include a handle disposed opposite the notched edge and substantially parallel to the straight side edge, aligned with the plane of the blade. The blade may be made of a thin or flexible material, allowing the blade to be slightly deformed during use to create a consistent layer of adhesive. The rounded edge may be of a relatively smaller radius, allowing for a wider, shorter blade. In other embodiments, the rounded edge may be of a relatively bigger radius, allowing for a narrower, taller blade. The notched edge may be square notches, v-notches, u-notches, or other notch shapes according to user preference.

This invention is an improved painting tool structure, consisting of a body and a knife board. The body comprises a grip part and a bottom plate. The grip part protrudes from the upper surface of one end of the bottom plate, whereas a clamping slot with an opening facing downward is disposed between the grip part and the bottom plate. The bottom plate and the clamping slot form an angle of less than 90 degrees. The knife board comprises a blade part and a connecting part, where the connecting part 22 is obliquely extended upward from one end of the blade part to form an angle of less than 90 degrees, and is to be connected to the clamping slot.

An apparatus for surface processing of plastically deformable masses, fresh concrete, mortar or screed is disclosed. The apparatus includes an L-shaped housing having a first housing axis and a second housing axis. The first housing axis and the second housing axis intersect one another at an angle. The L-shaped housing includes a handle, which is arranged along the first housing axis, and a receptacle for an energy store formed at a free end of the handle. The L-shaped housing further includes a head portion is arranged along the second housing axis and a base plate arranged at a free end of the head portion. The apparatus includes a vibration unit accommodated at least in sections within the head portion and on which the base plate is arranged.
