Multipurpose spatula

Abstract

A multipurpose spatula which has a separable pressing member on the outer surface of a body thereof. The pressing member is rotatable as required to allow a side surface thereof to be located on the end of one side pressing piece. This minimizes the occurrence of scratches on sheets attached to advertising signs and tables, etc. and also promotes user conveniences.

Claims

1. A multipurpose spatula, comprising: a body having pressing pieces formed on both sides of the body, a mounting hole formed on a center of the body in a longitudinal direction and support pieces disposed on both sides of the mounting hole, each support piece comprising a fitting hole; a pressing member separably coupled to the body; a rotation part rotatably disposed in the mounting hole of the body to induce a rotation of the pressing member and having rotation inducing pieces disposed along outer peripheral surfaces of both sides of the rotation part, the rotation part comprising a hinge, at each end of the rotation part, removably insertable into a corresponding fitting hole; and wherein the pressing member is made of any one of a cloth, a woven fabric, a fiber fabric, a non-woven fabric, and a linen fabric, and the pressing member comprises an elastic member configured to elastically support the pressing pieces of the body thereagainst, and the rotation inducing pieces have a concave-convex shape.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

(5) Hereinafter, an explanation on a multipurpose spatula according to the present invention will be in detail given with reference to the attached drawing.

(6) In the description, if it is determined that the detailed explanation on the well-known technology related to the present invention makes the scope of the present invention not clear, the explanation will be avoided for the brevity of the description and to allow the scope of the invention to be more obvious.

(7) As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, a multipurpose spatula according to the present invention includes a body 10 having pressing pieces 11 formed on both sides thereof, a pressing member 20 separably coupled to the body 10, and a rotation part 30 rotatably disposed on the body 10 to induce rotation of the pressing member 20.

(8) The body 10 has the pressing pieces 11 formed protrudingly from both sides thereof, a mounting hole 12 formed on the center thereof in a longitudinal direction thereof, and support pieces 13 disposed on both sides of the mounting hole 12.

(9) The pressing pieces 11 are desirably narrow in width as they go toward the ends thereof from the mounting hole 12.

(10) The support pieces 13 have fitting holes 14 formed thereon to rotatably insert hinge pieces 31 of the rotation part 30 as will be discussed later thereinto.

(11) The pressing member 20 is made of any one of a cloth, a woven fabric, a fiber fabric, a non-woven fabric, and a linen fabric, and of course, it may be made of various materials, without being limited particularly thereto.

(12) Further, the pressing member 20 includes an elastic member 21 fitted to the body 10 to maintain a state of tension.

(13) The rotation part 30 has the hinge pieces 31 fitted to the fitting holes 14 of the body 10 and rotation inducing pieces 32 disposed on both sides thereof.

(14) The rotation inducing pieces 32 are disposed to a concave-convex shape along the outer peripheral surfaces of both sides of the rotation part 30.

(15) Now, an explanation on the operation of the multipurpose spatula according to the present invention will be given. After the hinge pieces 31 of the rotation part 30 are fitted to the fitting holes 14 of the body 10, the rotation part 30 is rotatably located within the mounting hole 12 of the body 10. Next, the pressing member 20 is fitted to the pressing pieces 11 of the body 10.

(16) So as to attach a sheet to an advertising sign, for example, the sheet is located on the advertising sign, and next, the pressing member 20 located on the pressing pieces 11 is pressurized in the state of taking the multipurpose spatula according to the present invention by a user.

(17) If the pressing member 20 is worn out in the use process of the multipurpose spatula, the pressing member 20 and the rotation part 30 are at the same time pressed to rotate the rotation part 30 to one direction, so that the hinge pieces 31 of the rotation part 30 rotate along the fitting holes 14 of the body 10 to allow the other side surface of the pressing member 20 to be located on one side pressing piece 11, thereby improving the user conveniences.

(18) While the present invention has been described with reference to the particular illustrative embodiments, it is not to be restricted by the embodiments but only by the appended claims. It is to be appreciated that those skilled in the art can change or modify the embodiments without departing from the scope and spirit of the present invention.
