Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a coating tool for adhesives and / or sealants.
  • Such tools are used, for example, for applying adhesives to the bonding areas of PVC pipes.
  • other applications especially in the hobby, home and craft sector and in industry, for example, for joining profiles and plates of all kinds are conceivable.
  • fillers or spatulas are used for an application of adhesives and / or sealants.
  • these can be difficult to handle since the application area is too stiff, for example.
  • bristle brushes which, however, are difficult to clean and therefore appear unsuitable for repeated use.
  • the object of the present invention is therefore to provide an improved application tool for adhesives and / or sealants.
  • an application tool for applying adhesives and / or sealants comprising a holding region with a handle and an application region comprising a shank from which a large number of application bristles protrude in the direction of a application side, wherein on the shaft only a series of juxtaposed and preferably parallel to each other in the order side protrudingtouchsborsten are provided and wherein the application area and the shaft and theoptionsborsten are integral and made of a plastic material and consist of a plastic material or coated with a plastic material and in that at least one bristle has at least one chamfered or rounded edge on its side facing an opposing second bristle.
  • Under order bristles here are synthetic bristles of a plastic material to understand and in particular no animal hair.
  • shank and applicator bristles may be integral but not completely made of a plastic material.
  • a plastic material such as wood, cardboard or metal for the core of the shank and / ormentsborsten, the selbiger is covered with a plastic material, in particular a polyethylene or a polypropylene or coated.
  • a first plastic material for the core and a second plastic material in particular a polyethylene or a polypropylene for a coating or a jacket is also conceivable.
  • a two-dimensional application of the adhesive and / or sealant can be achieved on a substrate.
  • the individual bristles ensure a comprehensive application possibility, since, for example, individual or groups of bristles can be deflected or pivoted in the event of obstacles, for example elevations in the substrate. An order of the adhesive and or sealant is thus facilitated.
  • the cleaning of the application tool can be simplified by such a design after the use of residues of an adhering adhesive and / or sealant, in particular of a reactive nature.
  • the one-piece provision of shaft and bristles leads to a simplification of the production of a coating tool according to the invention and thus to a cost saving.
  • Another advantage is the use of a plastic material for the bristles and the shaft to allow easy cleaning.
  • a polypropylene or a polyethylene has proven to be useful.
  • a designed job tool allows easy cleaning and can thus be used multiple times.
  • the application tool can be used for a wide variety of adhesives and / or sealants.
  • Another advantage is the design of the application tool such that the holding area and the application area are integral.
  • At least one bristle has a substantially rectangular cross-section.
  • all bristles have a rectangular cross-section.
  • the side length of the cross section of a bristle in the direction of extension of the row of juxtaposed bristles is greater than the side length orthogonal to the former.
  • the side length in the direction of extent is preferably in the range of 1.5 mm to 2.5 mm
  • the second side length which is provided orthogonal to the first-mentioned side length, again preferably in the range of 0.5 mm to 1 mm.
  • Another advantage is a spacing of two opposite bristles, preferably a spacing in the range of 0.1 mm to 1 mm, in particular for increasing the flexibility of the application tool in the application area.
  • At least one bristle, on its side facing an opposite second bristle has at least one chamfered or rounded edge.
  • the size of the bevel can be in the range of 0.1 mm to 0.3 mm at a regular angle of 45 °. However, other suitable angles are conceivable.
  • a conceivable rounding preferably has a radius in the range of 0.1 mm - 0.4 mm.
  • all edges of all bristles are chamfered or rounded, which are provided on the sides of the bristles, which faces a respective further bristle.
  • all edges of all bristles may have a chamfer or rounding. In the above-mentioned use of bristles with a rectangular cross section, this edge shape results in a cross section in the form of a partially or completely rounded or bevelled rectangle.
  • the bristles in particular a comb structure of the adhesive and / or sealant due to the type of application tool can be minimized on the substrate, which could have an influence on the adhesive bond or seal.
  • the bristles can also be connected to one another by means of thin material points, so that on the one hand sufficient flexibility can be ensured, on the other hand said comb structure can be avoided or reduced.
  • the bristles can be arranged side by side such that the distances selbiger are minimized, in particular less than 0.1 mm, but this requires a higher production cost.
  • Another advantage is the use of bristles which become thinner and / or narrower in the direction of the application side and / or taper in the direction of the application side. This has the advantage that the bristles are flexible on the order side, on the opposite side for a higher Have stability.
  • the said preferred distance of two opposite or juxtaposed bristles is preferably to be determined on the order side.
  • thermoplastic material in particular a polypropylene or a polyethylene as a plastic material for the holding area and / or the application area.
  • polyethylene in particular HDPE, LDPE, or LLDPE or a mixture of those mentioned is conceivable.
  • the application tool has a preferably arranged on or in the vicinity of the application area and projecting support means to allow a storage possibility of the application tool on a substrate without the bristles come into contact with the substrate.
  • a further advantage is the design of the grip area such that the same has, at least in regions, a cross-section of a profile carrier, in particular a double T-shape. As a result, a high stability of the grip area can be achieved with low material costs.
  • a preferred embodiment of a coating tool according to the invention is shown in the figures.
