Tools for applying self-adhesive surface covering material
Abstract
Abstract A pair of manually operated tools for holding and pressing self-adhesive surface covering material into adhesive contact with a flat surface. One tool includes a blade having a long, straight, thin edge, slightly curved about its longitudinal axis, and is employed to press self-adhesive surface covering material into adhesive contact with a flat surface. The corners of the blade at the ends of the edge may be rounded for ordinary use, or square for use in corners. An extendable sharp point is provided for puncturing the covering material to permit the escape of air trapped thereunder. The other tool includes a long, straight edge bent not more than 90 degrees and disposed to be adhered to by the free end of the surface covering material, so that the unapplied portion of such material may be supported in near-perpendicular extension from such flat surface while the material is being presses into contact with the surface by the first tool.
