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.
Claims9
An adhesive spreader tool for spreading tile adhesive over a substantially planar floor surface in preparation for laying of a tile, the adhesive spreader tool comprises:
- two substantially rectangular planar sheets of deformable material having at least a first and a second edge being parallel and opposed to each other, both sheets having castellations along a first portion of the first edge wherein the castellation occupies a greater portion of the first edge than the remaining portion of the first edge of each of the substantially rectangular planar sheets;
- each substantially rectangular planar sheet having at least one longitudinal slot therein, each longitudinal slot orientated at a right angle to both the parallel and opposed first and second edges and spaced along on each sheet about half-the-width of a castellation from the last castellation along the first edge;
- and
- at least one sheet joiner element,
- wherein in use, each sheet is folded along the respective at least one slot to form a folded portion of the substantially rectangular planar sheet to form an end wall orientated at right angles to the portion of the substantially rectangular planar sheet having castellations, and once first and second edges of each substantially rectangular planar sheet are aligned with each other, and the two sheets are joined using the at least one joiner element, the joined substantially rectangular planar sheets form a continuous array of castellations along the respective first sides of the joined substantially rectangular planar sheets and end walls formed by the folded portions of the joined substantially rectangular planar sheets, wherein the joined sheets and folded substantially rectangular planar sheets form an adhesive spreader tool adapted for positioning respective first edges on the substantially planar floor surface for spreading over the substantially planar floor surface tile adhesive placed between the end walls.
