Abstract
A device for smoothing a working edge of a squeegee tool that is used for application of film substrates to glass surfaces; the device having a main body including a base and opposing first and second panels extending away from the base and diverging away from one another to define an open mouth, and a fabric sheet secured to the main body at opposite end portions, and the fabric sheet including a central portion received within the open mouth and formed in a V-shape transverse configuration, wherein the working edge of the tool is moved longitudinally between the opposing panels and in frictional engagement with a top surface of the fabric sheet at a bottom of the V-shape to effectively remove bumps, nicks and scratches on the working edge of the tool.
Claims7
A device for smoothing a working edge of a squeegee tool that is used for application of film substrates to glass surfaces, the device comprising:
- a main body including a base and opposing first and second panels extending away from the base and the first and second panels diverging away from one another and each terminating at a top distal edge to define an open mouth between the top distal edges of the opposing first and second panels;
- and
- a fabric sheet having a first end portion secured to the main body and an opposite second end portion secured to the main body, and the fabric sheet further including a central portion tucked between the opposing first and second panels so that a transverse orientation of the central portion is in a V-shape, and the central portion including a top surface for frictional engagement with the working edge of the squeegee tool upon longitudinal movement of the working edge between the opposing first and second panels and against a top surface of the fabric sheet at a bottom of the V-shape.
