Description

Device for applying adhesive tape
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a device for applying an adhesive tape of the type described in the preamble of claim 1.
In particular, the present invention relates to a device that facilitates the placement of adhesive tape along a particular surface (e.g., the surface of a skirting board or skirting board) and makes the operation of, for example, painting a wall more rapid.
Background
Similar devices are described in patent documents WO-A-98/59115 and WO-A-2013/028732.
It is well known that during processes such as painting, objects and any other surfaces must be covered beforehand with polymeric films and/or tapes in order to avoid staining of such objects and surfaces with dyes.
One of the most difficult operations, especially in terms of speed of execution, is to cover the skirting board or the apron.
Typically, this operation is performed manually by an operator and requires that adhesive tape be placed on the upper surface of the skirting board to prevent printing of the wall from dripping onto the surface. The adhesive tape can also be folded so that it also adheres to the side surface of the skirting board, if needed or desired.
As already mentioned, the main drawback of this technique is that, like any completely manual operation, it takes a long time to perform, thus reducing the working speed of the operator.
However, some devices are known to facilitate this practice.
In particular, US patent application US-A-3871940 describes an adhesive tape holder device comprising A roller tensioner adapted to allow the adhesive tape and its arrangement to be unwound along A substantially linear path. In addition, the device includes rollers adapted to rest on the wall and allow the device to translate parallel to the wall.
US patent application US-A-6684926 describes A device which is similar to the previous devices, but in particular comprises A handle adapted to unwind the adhesive tape in A comfortable manner. Also in this case, the adhesive tape is unwound by means of a roller tensioner and guided by the tensioner and the second roller in a substantially rectilinear direction and parallel to the upper surface of the skirting board.
The known technique just described comprises some important drawbacks.
In particular, both devices comprise a roller tensioner and a second roller designed to allow the belt to be arranged and to support the entire device on the upper surface of the skirting board.
Both devices are therefore rather unstable, since, although they are provided with rollers for supporting on the wall and with handles, respectively, they are only supported vertically by the upper surface of the very thin skirting board.
Thus, although these devices facilitate the arrangement of the adhesive tape, they can in any case cause a deceleration, either due to the device falling off the skirting board or due to undesired vibrations of the supporting rollers, which can lead to incorrect contact between the adhesive tape and the skirting board.
In this context, the technical task on which the present invention is based is to devise a device for applying adhesive tape, preferably at least partially adhesive, which substantially obviates at least some of the above-mentioned drawbacks.
Disclosure of Invention
Within the scope of said technical task, an important object of the present invention is to obtain a device for applying adhesive tape that is stable and allows the adhesive tape to be distributed in an optimal manner on thin surfaces such as those of skirting boards.
Another important object of the invention is to provide a device that allows the tape to be applied very quickly on small surfaces.
Another task of the present invention is therefore to speed up, for example, painting operations of walls.
The technical task and the specific objects are achieved by an adhesive tape application device as claimed in the appended claim 1.
Preferred embodiments are highlighted in the dependent claims.

Detailed Description
In this document, dimensions, values, shapes and geometric references (e.g. perpendicularity and parallelism) associated with, for example, "about" or other similar terms (e.g. "about" or "substantially") are to be understood as being smaller than measurement errors or measurement inaccuracies due to manufacturing and/or fabrication errors, particularly unless there is a slight difference in the values, dimensions, shapes or geometric references associated therewith. For example, these terms, if associated with a numerical value, preferably represent a difference of no more than 10% of the numerical value itself.
Further, when used, terms such as "first," "second," "upper," "lower," "primary," and "secondary" do not necessarily identify an order, relational priority, or relative position, but may simply be used to more clearly distinguish the different components.
Unless otherwise indicated, the measurements and data reported herein are to be considered, as described in the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) International Standard atmosphere (ISO 2533: 1975).
Referring to the drawings, an apparatus for applying tape according to the present invention is generally indicated by the numeral 1.
The device 1 is configured to allow the tape 10 to be laid on a surface 12.
Preferably, the tape 10 is an at least partially adhesive type tape. Thus, when the tape 10 is in contact with an object, particularly a surface 12, along the adhesive side, it is directly adhered to the object.
In this connection, a slight pressure is therefore sufficient, as occurs with the manual application of the adhesive tape 10.
Of course, the tape 10 can be of various types; it may be any material, paper, polymer, fabric, or other material, and may be configured to be fully bonded to at least one side, or to a portion of the bonded side, such as a strip. Further, as shown in fig. 4, the tape 10 may include an attachment strip of tape and a paper roll.
The surface 12 may be of any type. For example, it may be a part of a floor, such as the top surface of a step, or a part of a ceiling, or even a wall.
Preferably, the surface 12 is the upper surface of a skirting board or apron. However, the surface 12 may also be a side of a skirting board or a skirting board. In this sense, the surface 12 is therefore distinguished by a first surface 12a and a second surface 12 b.
The first surface 12a is preferably a thin surface 12. Furthermore, it is preferably parallel to the wall 11.
If the surface 12 or 12a belongs to a skirting board, the wall 11 may be a floor. Alternatively, if the surface 12 or 12b is the upper surface of a step, the wall 11 may be the upper surface of the lower step.
This can also be said for the beam surface of the ceiling.
The second surface 12b may be even more extensive. It is preferably perpendicular to the wall 11.
Thus, if the wall 11 is still defined by a floor, the surface 12 or 12b may be a side wall of a skirting board or a base, or even a real wall perpendicular to the wall 11.
In any case, the device 1 comprises a support 2 and a coil support 3.
The support 2 is preferably adapted to support the coil support 3. In particular, it preferably comprises an operating device 20.
The handling device 20 is configured to allow movement of the support 2 placed on the wall 11.
The operating device 20 may be of various types. They may be rolling elements; for example a sphere loosely constrained to the support 2, or a rail. Preferably, the operating means 20 comprise wheels.
The wheels may thus rotate along an axis perpendicular to the wall 11, or they may be stationary, when the device 1 is placed on the wall 11.
In any case, the wheels allow moving the support 2 placed on the wall 11 in at least one direction. Preferably, the support 2 defines an operating plane 2 a.
If the operating device 20 is a wheel, the operating plane 2a naturally includes the aforementioned direction.
Preferably, the operating plane 2a along which the support 2 moves is parallel to the wall 11.
The support 2 may also have any shape and size.
In addition, advantageously, the support 2 comprises a support portion 25.
The support portion 25 preferably defines a flat surface perpendicular to the operating plane 2 a. In particular, it is possible to arrange the support portion 25 in contact with an auxiliary wall (for example a skirt or a seat or a side of the wall substantially perpendicular to the wall 11), in such a way as to further stabilize the movement of the support 2 on the wall 11.
The support portion 25 thus forms a side plate adapted to guide the support 2 along a predetermined direction parallel to said auxiliary wall.
In even more detail, preferably, the support portion 25 comprises a flexible, not very porous surface designed to control the friction between the auxiliary wall and the support portion 25, so as to facilitate the operation of the support 2.
Preferably, the support 2 comprises a plate 23. The plate 23 preferably extends parallel to the operating plane 2 a. Thus, when the device 1 is in use, it is preferably adapted to be arranged parallel to the wall 11, and the operating means 20 are preferably arranged between the plate 23 and the wall 11.
Basically, the support 2 preferably defines a trolley.
Conveniently, if the operating means 20 are wheels and the support 2 comprises a plate 23, the wheels are constrained to the plate 23 on the opposite side with respect to the coil support 3.
In practice, the coil support 3 is preferably constrained to the support 2. Further, the coil support 3 is preferably configured to loosely support the coil 100.
The coil 100 is basically a column comprising the rolled up tape 10. In this respect, therefore, the coil support 3 also defines a first axis of rotation 3 c.
The first rotation axis 3c is preferably the axis about which the coil 100 rotates.
Further, the rotation axis 3c substantially defines the unwinding direction of the adhesive tape 10.
When the device 1 is in use, in a first embodiment, the handling means 20 are configured to allow the support 2 placed on the wall 11 to move in a plane parallel to the first rotation axis 3 c. This plane is preferably the operating plane 2 a.
In this case, the device 1 is preferably adapted to position the adhesive tape on a surface 12, which surface 12 defines features, in particular features of the first surface 12 a.
When the device 1 is in use, in the second embodiment, the handling means 20 are configured to allow the support 2 placed on the wall 11 to move in a plane perpendicular to the first rotation axis 3 c.
In this case, the device 1 is preferably adapted to position the adhesive tape on a surface 12, which surface 12 defines features, in particular features of the second surface 12 b.
In particular, the coil support 3 may be fixedly constrained to the support 2, for example at a predetermined distance with respect to the plate 23.
Alternatively, the coil support 3 is constrained to the support 2, preferably by the position of the coil support 3 relative to the support 2 being changeable in a controlled manner. This means that during use of the device 1, the coil support 3 is preferably stably constrained to the support 2 and remains fixed, but is removable on command with respect to the support 2.
In this respect, the coil support 3 is preferably loosely constrained to the support 2 such that it can move in a controlled manner along at least a first direction 3a relative to the support 2.
The first direction 3a is preferably perpendicular to the operating plane 2 a. In particular, in order to ensure the mobility of the coil support 3, the support 2 may comprise a first guide 21.
The first guide 21 may be a rail on which the coil support 3 may move. Alternatively, the first guide 21 may be a substantially tubular element as shown in fig. 1, on which the coil support 3 slides in the first direction 3 a.
Therefore, the coil support 3 may comprise a cursor movable along the first guide 21 so as to translate along the first direction 3 a.
Guides and slides of this type are well known in the state of the art.
Of course, it is possible to provide a stop on, for example, the slider of the coil support 3, which stop is designed to block the coil support 3 at a height predetermined by the user.
Stops of this type are well known and may for example consist of simple bolts which can be screwed to generate sufficient friction to lock the coil support 3 relative to the first guide 21.
In the first embodiment, moreover, the coil support 3 is preferably moved in a controlled manner relative to the support 2 along the second direction 3 b.
The second direction 3b is parallel to the operation plane 2 a. The coil support 3 can thus be moved relative to the support 2 along the first direction 3a, or along the second direction 3b, or along both directions 3a, 3 b. Preferably, in this configuration, the coil support 3 is movable with respect to two directions 3a, 3 b.
In order to allow the coil support 3 to move in the second direction 3b, the support 2 preferably comprises a second guide 22.
The second guide 22 is preferably directly connected to the first guide 21. Mainly, in practice, the coil support 3 is moved in the first direction 3a on the first guide 21 and the first guide 21 is moved in the second direction 3b on the second guide 22 in such a way as to allow the coil support 3 to move in the second direction 3b with respect to the support 2.
The second guide 22 may also have a similar mechanism to the first guide 21. Thus, the second guide 22 may substantially comprise a track, a slider, within which preferably a portion of the first guide 21 may translate. Further, the second guide 22 may also include a stopper for restricting the first guide 21.
In a second embodiment shown in fig. 2, the first guide 21 is preferably a tubular element around which the coil support 3 can be constrained.
Thus, the first rotation axis 3c coincides with the first direction 3a and is substantially defined by the first guide 21.
Therefore, the coil support 3 may be restricted to be fixed relative to the first guide 21 and the coil 100 may be allowed to rotate about the coil support 3, or it may be loosely constrained to the first guide 21 in such a manner as to rotate about the first rotation axis 3 c.
In any case, even indirectly, the coil 100 is constrained to the first guide 21 by the coil support 3 so as to be rotatable about the first direction 3a (in this case, coinciding with the first axis of rotation 3 c).
Also in this case, it may be preferable to provide a slider and a stop adapted to allow a controlled movement of the coil support 3 on the first guide 21, so that the distance between the coil support 3 and the support can be adjusted in a controlled manner.
Naturally, the coil 100 may rotate relative to the coil support 3, and therefore the coil support 3 may be integral with the first guide 21 and function as a kind of bearing, or a part of the coil support 3 may rotate integrally with the coil 100, and therefore may itself rotate relative to the first guide 21.
The device 1 preferably also comprises a tensioner 4.
The tensioner 4 preferably constrains one of the support 2 and the coil support 3.
Advantageously, the support 2 separates the coil support 3 and the tensioner 4 with respect to the operating means 20, so that when the operating means 20 is placed on at least the wall 11 and the tensioner 4 dispenses the adhesive tape 10 on the surface 12, only the operating means 20 faces said wall 11. Thus, the spool support 3 and the tensioner 4 are arranged substantially on opposite sides of the support 2.
Tensioner 4 is particularly configured to dispense tape 10 when tensioned.
Thus, preferably, when the device 1 is in use, the adhesive tape 10 is unwound from the coil 100, passes in correspondence with the tensioner 4 and is preferably placed on the surface 12, whether the first surface 12a or the second surface 12 b.
Thus, when the tensioner 4 dispenses the adhesive tape 10 on the surface 12 (parallel to the wall 11 if it is the first surface 12a, or perpendicular to the wall 11 if it is the second surface 12b), the operating means 20 are substantially configured to allow the movement of the support 2 placed on at least one wall 11 in a plane parallel or perpendicular to the first axis of rotation 3 c.
This means that the support 2 moves stably on the wall 11 and it is avoided that the stability of the device 1 depends on the contact between the tensioner 4 and the surface 12.
The tensioner 4 particularly preferably defines a second axis of rotation 4 a.
The second rotation axis 4a is preferably parallel to the first rotation axis 3c in the first configuration, in which the first rotation axis 3c is perpendicular to the first direction 3a, and in the second configuration, in which the first rotation axis 3c coincides with the first direction 3 a.
Thus, tensioner 4 allows tape 10 to rotate about axis of rotation 4a such that it becomes tensioned on surface 12, 12a or 12 b.
Thus, tensioner 4 may comprise a smooth tubular element adapted to allow tape 10 to slide. Preferably, tensioner 4 comprises, in particular, a roller 40.
The roller 40 preferably rotates about the second axis of rotation 4 a. Furthermore, it is spaced from the coil support 3 and configured to dispense the adhesive tape 10 when rotated relative to the surface 12.
To space the rollers 40, the tensioner 4 preferably includes a spacer 41.
The spacer 41 may comprise a rod or a pair of rods. Typically, it is configured to connect the roller 40 to the coil support 3. In even more detail, the spacer 41 is connected to the coil support 3 by a hinge 42.
The hinge 42 preferably allows the spacer 41 to rotate relative to the coil support 3 about the axis of the hinge 42. However, in addition, tensioner 4 also comprises counter-means 43.
The counter means 43 are preferably configured to resist mutual rotation about the hinge 42 of the coil support 3 and the spacer 41. Thus, the roller 40 distributes the adhesive tape 10 by tensioning the adhesive tape 10, and can slightly vibrate by the spacer 41 in opposition to the opposing device 43.
Such opposing means 43 may therefore comprise linear springs arranged between the coil support 3 and the tensioner 4, or they may also comprise other means, such as torsion springs arranged at the hinge 42.
Preferably, in the embodiment in which the second axis of rotation 4a and the first axis of rotation 3c are perpendicular to the operating plane 2a, the support 2 further comprises a stop 26.
Stop 26 is preferably configured to block rotation of tensioner 4 about the axis of hinge 42. In this configuration, in particular, the spacer 41 is loosely constrained to the first guide 21 so as to be rotatable with respect to the first rotation axis 3 c. The blocking of the rotation of the team is thus achieved by the stop 26 or otherwise by the counter device 43. In this configuration, if the coil support 3 is rotated integrally with the coil 100, the opposing device 43 does not exist.
In addition, the device 1 may comprise a handle 24.
Preferably, the handle 24 is configured to allow a user to actuate the device 1.
The handle 24 may be of various types. It may be, for example, a handle or knob and may be constrained, for example, to plate 23.
Preferably, the shank 24 is a handle substantially perpendicular to and constrained to the plate 23.
Thus, the handle 24 may be fixed or movable. Preferably, the shank 24 is loosely constrained to the support 2. In particular, the stem 24 may be constrained by the second guide 22 and slidingly arranged thereon.
Of course, the device 1 may also comprise various auxiliary components, which may also be removed and mounted on the support 2 at will.
For example, as shown in fig. 3, the device 1 may comprise a cutting device 5.
The cutting device 5 is preferably configured to allow for a tear cut of the tape 10, as occurs in a common scotland rack, and therefore the cutting device 5 preferably comprises at least one blade 50.
The blade 50 is a cutting edge adapted to tear the adhesive tape 10 in a precise manner, and preferably the blade 50 is arranged in a manner overlapping the adhesive tape 10 exiting from the tensioner 4, perpendicular to the direction of the adhesive tape 10.
Moreover, in particular, it is preferred to connect the blade 50 to the first guide 21 so that it is also adjustable. In this respect, the connecting means may be provided as already described, for example similar to the connector 41, and more sliders and terminals may be provided.
The cutting means 5 may also be independently constrained to the support 2, for example by means of the first guides 21, or they may be constrained to the coil support 3 itself.
Preferably, in particular, the cutting means 5 are directly or indirectly constrained to the support 2, in such a way that the blade 50 is opposite the tensioner 4 with respect to the first guide 21 and overlaps in the direction of exit of the adhesive tape 10 from the tensioner 4 itself.
Finally, the device 1 may comprise a limit switch block 6.
The limit switch block 6 is preferably configured to be in contact with obstacles, such as the walls of walls corresponding to the corners of a room, in which travel of the device 1 can be interrupted precisely by the presence of a wall perpendicular to the direction of travel of the device 1.
The limit switch block 6 (if present) is preferably configured to separate the obstacle from the cutting device 5 by at least a predetermined minimum distance to facilitate any cutting operation.
Therefore, in this regard, the limit switch block 6 preferably includes a contact surface 60.
The contact surface 60 is preferably perpendicular to both the operation plane 2a and the support portion 25.
In this manner, when the device approaches an obstacle, the contact surface 60 stops the device itself so that the blade 50 is separated from the obstacle by a predetermined distance.
Naturally, the limit switch block 6, like any other component, may be fixed to the support 2, or to the coil support 3 or to the cutting device 5 itself, so that it can be adjusted on command.
Thus, the contact surface 60 can be moved on command to vary the predetermined distance between the contact surface 60 itself and the blade 50 in the direction of travel of the device 1.
The cutting device 5 and the limit-switch block 6 are of course compatible with any embodiment, whether it is the first or the second, by simply adjusting the orientation of the blade 50 rather than with respect to the support 2 or the coil support or the contact surface 60 of the cutting device 5 itself in the second case.
The operation of the device 1 previously described in structural terms is as follows.
The device 1 placed on the floor can be placed side by side with a skirting board. Furthermore, the height of the coil support 3, and thus the tensioner 4, can be adjusted. In this way, the arrangement of the adhesive tape 10 can be properly secured regardless of the height of the skirting board.
Once the first adhesive strip of the adhesive tape 10 has been positioned on the surface 12 of the skirting board, in particular on the first surface 12a or the second surface 12b, the support 2 can be moved along the extension of the skirting board by means of the handle 24. Of course, regardless of the configuration employed on the device 1, the handle 24 allows the device 1 to move substantially against a skirting board in one direction or the opposite direction. The roller 40 of the tensioner 4, which rotates relative to the surface 12, pulls the tape 10 when tensioned, bonding the tape 10 to the surface 12 with less pressure. In this way, the process of laying the tape 10 is relatively fast.
The device 1 for applying adhesive tape according to the invention has important advantages.
In fact, the device 1 is configured to separate the tape depositing tool 10 (i.e. the coil support 3 and the tensioner 4) with respect to the handling device 20, so that the device 1 is always adjustable, for example by adjusting the distance between the coil support 3 and the support 2, depending on any surface 12, since each component is removable and has considerable stability, and can easily be switched between the various embodiments.
Furthermore, a guide is provided, the support portion 25 further stabilizing the device 1, which guide allows to further accelerate the movement of the support 2.
It has been found that the device 1 substantially allows to reduce the laying of the adhesive tape 10 by at least five or six times compared to conventional devices.
The deposition of the adhesive tape 10 also takes place in an optimal manner, since the support is carried out between the support 2 and the wall 11, not only depending on the surface 12 and the tensioner 4 or the roller for positioning the adhesive tape 10.
Furthermore, further advantages are provided since the stability obtained allows to increase the positioning accuracy and to avoid defects such as gluing errors (which can lead to undesired dripping of paint, for example during the painting phase of the wall).
Furthermore, another advantage of the invention is that it allows to obtain a simple and cost-effective structure as well as the above mentioned advantages.
In practice, the device 1 preferably consists only of the support 2, the coil support 3 and the tensioner 4, without other complex components.
The invention is susceptible of modifications falling within the scope of the inventive concept as defined by the claims.
For example, the limit switch block 6 may be arranged on the opposite side with respect to the cutting device 5. Furthermore, the cutting device 5 may also be accommodated in the opposite direction with respect to that shown in fig. 3.
Indeed, the examples in fig. 1-3 are merely embodiments, which do not limit the implementation of the alternative device 1 to place the various auxiliary components in different positions.
In this case all the details may be replaced with equivalent elements and the materials, shapes and dimensions may be any.
