Abstract
Especially effective for use with fast hardening metal fillers comprising resin and catalyst the present spreader, which may be integrally molded in a continuous combination of injection and blow molding comprises an elongated handle which is hollow and deformable and a blade which is solid whereby sculpturing and contouring may be achieved more readily through hand manipulation and the spreader is more easily cleaned.
Claims7
In a spreader which may be manufactured from solid plastic or the like:
- a bendable spreader blade of substantially flat solid and planar construction having a bottom edge thereon,
- an elongated top portion on said spreader blade,
- an elongated tubular and deformable handle integrally attached to said blade along said top portion and comprising relatively thin closed side walls, end walls and a hollow interior whereby said handle may be deformed by the hand by squeezing, twisting or otherwise manipulating same, the said walls being thinner than the blades, said blade being more rigid, more dense and less flexible than said handle so that said solid blade may be manipulated and curved or deformed to a lesser extent than said handle thereby providing contouring, sculpturing and control over a liquid material which is being worked into a solid material.
