Claims20
A bedmaking tool 10 comprising:
- a tool body 11 having an overall height H0, an overall width W0, an overall thickness T0, and an overall length L0, said tool body 11 comprising
- (a) a wedge portion 12 comprising a tool front edge 13 (or nose 13) at a first end 14,
- (b) a tool handle 15 (or cantilever arm 15) at a second end 16 opposite said first end 14,
- (c) a heel 17 positioned between said wedge portion 12 and said tool handle 15, said heel 17 comprising a heel surface portion 18 having an arc of curvature thereon, and representing a portion of a rear major surface 19 of said bedmaking tool 10,
- (d) a front major surface 20 extending from said tool front edge 13 towards said second end 16,
- (e) a bottom surface 21 extending from said tool front edge 12 to said heel surface portion 18, and
- (f) said rear major surface 19 extending from said heel surface portion 18 towards the second end 16,
- wherein
- (1) said overall length L0 comprises a distance from said first end 14 to said second end 16 along said bottom surface 21 and said rear major surface 19, and
- (2) (i) a first portion 20′ of said front major surface 20 forms a first acute angle A with said bottom surface 21 along said wedge portion 12 of said tool body 11, and (ii) a second portion 20″ of said front major surface 20 forms a second acute angle B with said bottom surface 21 along said tool handle 15 of said tool body 11.
