Rubber Applicator Device for Concrete Joint Lines
20220341324 · 2022-10-27 ·

The present invention relates generally to a rubber applicator device for concrete joint lines that is primarily comprised of a body further comprised of an exterior shaft, an interior shaft, a rotating locking mechanism, and at least one protrusion. The body of the device is preferably cylindrical and can increase in length to accommodate users of any height. The at least one protrusion guides rubber into a concrete keyway, while the user walks the device along the concrete keyway. In this manner, the device can be applied to any concrete keyway joint, such that a user can remain upright with less stress and strain on their back, while applying rubber to a concrete keyway joint.
