Abstract
When spreading adhesive, an adhesive spreader tool and adaptor for attachment to a handle, the adaptor and spreader tool for spreading adhesive over a floor surface from a standing position. The spreader tool includes two sheets each sheet folded along respective at least one slot to form a folded portion of the sheet. Once the two sheets are joined they form an array of castellations along respective first sides of the joined sheets and end walls formed by the folded portions, the sheets suitable for spreading adhesive over the floor the width of a tile. The adaptor is configured to engage the adhesive spreader tool and has first and second longitudinal support members adapted to be slidable within a first channel or one in each of two channels so that the support members support.
Claims5
An adaptor for attachment to a handle, the adaptor for use with an adhesive spreader tool for a spreading adhesive over a floor surface, the adhesive spreader tool having an upper longitudinal edge and between the two ends of the adhesive spreader tool there being front and rear planar surfaces, the adaptor comprising:
- a longitudinal body comprising
- a first longitudinal barrier defining a hollow capture volume and a leading edge portion of the barrier forming one side of an entrance to the hollow capture volume, the longitudinal barrier extending between first and second ends of the longitudinal barrier and having open first and second ends;
- at least two longitudinal wall structures spaced to form one or more longitudinal channels extending between a first and a second end of the longitudinal wall structures wherein the channel or channels are open at each end and at least a portion of one of the longitudinal wall structures forms an abutment surface;
- a first longitudinal support member adapted to be longitudinally slidable within a first channel of the one or more channels, so that a portion of the first longitudinal support member is external of the open end of the first channel;
- a second longitudinal support member adapted to be longitudinally slidable within the first channel or a second channel of the one or more channels, so that a portion of the second longitudinal support member is external of the open end of the respective channel,
- wherein the external portions of the longitudinal support members longitudinally extend substantially parallel to the longitudinal body, and the longitudinal support members slide past each other while within their respective channel, wherein the upper longitudinal edge of the adhesive spreader tool is locatable in the hollow capture volume of the first longitudinal barrier;
- and
- wherein each longitudinal support member has a longitudinal tongue and the least two further longitudinal wall structures spaced to form at least two longitudinal channels extending between a first and a second end of the further longitudinal wall structures each have a longitudinal channel adapted to slidingly accommodate the tongue of a respective longitudinal support member located in a respective longitudinal channel.
