One or both members may have notching and preferably the plate members are rectangular with notching to all four edges. A handle is secured to one plate member.
Claims9
A trowel for applying material, e.g., tiling adhesive, to a surface, the trowel having a plurality of edges and adjustable means associated with said edges for limiting the depth of material which can be applied to a surface, said edges and adjustable means comprising mutually cooperable and slidingly coupled plate-like members, means for moving one of the plate-like members diagonally with respect to the other plate-like member, notches having uniform depth provided along two mutually adjacent edges on one of said plates, whereby movement of one of said members with respect to the other serves to vary the depth of the notches simultaneously along said mutual adjacent edges while maintaining a uniform notch depth along the two mutually adjacent edges.
