ADJUSTABLE STOPPER ASSEMBLY FOR PRESS BRAKE
20230211400 · 2023-07-06 · ·

The present disclosure provides for a reversible and adjustable stopper assembly comprised of an upper frame, L-bracket, connector portion and stopping member. The stopper can be configured to be secured to at least two main types of press brakes. The stopping portion of the stopper is also reversible, allowing for less sheet metal to be inserted into the press brake, if desired. The stopper assembly can be slid in a horizontal manner, relative to the press brake to preserve the measurement of the sheet metal from one end of the press brake to the other.

DECORATING TOOL
20220412103 · 2022-12-29 ·

The present claims a decorating tool, comprising a working portion, a grip portion and a connecting portion. The working portion and the grip portion are connected to two ends of the connecting portion, respectively. The connecting portion is configured for controlling the grip portion to rotate towards or away from the working portion. The grip portion can be rotated to adjacent to a sidewall of the working portion, and not protrude from two ends of the working portion.

MORTAR CORRECTION TOOL FOR EVEN INSTALLATION OF ACCENT TILE
20220372770 · 2022-11-24 ·

An apparatus for applying mortar to a wall or floor surface for accent tiles is disclosed. The apparatus has an elongated first piece comprising a top piece joined with a bottom piece having a plurality of slots that are attachable to a second piece and a third piece. Rulers are positioned on the edges of the pieces. To use, a thickness of accent tile is measured as well as a length or width of accent tile. The user adjusts the positioning of the second piece and the third piece accordingly. Once the components are fastened together, the user applies mortar to a gap between pieces of non-accent tile and scrapes off an amount of mortar that is not needed, leaving behind the correct, smoothed amount of mortar that will allow the measured thickness of the accent tile to fit in between the non-accent tile in an even and level manner.

SURFACE SPATULA
20220372771 · 2022-11-24 ·

A surface spatula has a frame provided on the surfaces of the gripping parts with a soft, convex covering (3) made of thermoplastic plastic, which is integrally bonded to the substrate on parts of the outer surfaces of the spatial structure of the frame, shaped in the form of a longitudinal profile (1), preferably made of hard engineering plastic, preferably from the group of plastomers, where the spatial structure of the profile (1) is a closed body, internally ribbed, with the same outline along its entire length, where the covering (3), also made in the form of surface elements (27), is present on the outer surfaces of the handgrip (2) and the connector (5), where in the frontal view of the outline of the profile (1) the manual handle (2) is located in the upper part and has a contour (15) similar to an ellipse and which in the lower part is connected with the outline of the connector (5), situated at the bottom part of the tool.

TOOLS FOR APPLICATION OF BINDING AGENTS AND FILLER
