Combination tool for transferring labels and appliques

A tool for use in transferring labels and appliques from one surface to another surface and for removing materials from a surface, the tool comprising:

• an elongated tool body formed of a molded plastic material, said tool body defining a longitudinal axis and including a taper portion, a grip portion and a blunt portion axially spaced along said longitudinal axis;
• said grip portion comprising an enlarged area formed by a cylindrical surface extending about said longitudinal axis, and said grip portion defining a first longitudinal end and a second longitudinal end;
• a molded cover material covering said grip portion, said cover material defining a softer material than the material forming said tool body;
• said taper portion extending from said first longitudinal end and including top and bottom taper portion surfaces and opposing taper portion side edges, said opposing taper portion side edges tapering toward each other in a direction away from said grip portion and meeting at a point;
• said blunt portion extending from said second longitudinal end and including top and bottom blunt portion surfaces and opposing blunt portion side edges, said blunt portion side edges terminating at a distal end defined by a broad edge extending transverse to said longitudinal axis.

• and said grip portion defining a first longitudinal end and a second longitudinal end;
• a molded cover material covering said grip portion, said cover material defining a softer material than the material forming said tool body, said grip portion is formed with radially extending contours defined on said circumferentially curved surface and said molded cover material is formed with complementary radially extending contours for engaging said contours on said grip portion;
• said taper portion extending from said first longitudinal end and including top and bottom taper portion surfaces which angle toward each other in a direction away from said grip portion, said taper portion further including opposing taper portion side edges, said opposing taper portion side edges tapering toward each other in a direction away from said grip portion and meeting at a point;
• said blunt portion extending from said second longitudinal end and including top and bottom blunt portion surfaces which angle toward each other in a direction away from said grip portion, said blunt portion further including opposing blunt portion side edges, said blunt portion side edges terminating at a distal end defined by a broad edge extending transversely to said longitudinal axis;
• concavely radiused surfaces extending from said grip portion to said top and bottom surfaces of said taper portion and concavely radiused surfaces extending from said grip portion to said top and bottom surfaces of said blunt portion;
• wherein said bottom surface of said blunt portion at said distal end is planar, and said top surface of said blunt portion at said distal end is upwardly convex;
• and
• including an indicia on at least one of said top surfaces for reference in orienting said bottom surface of said blunt portion downwardly.

• an elongated tool body defining a longitudinal axis and including a taper portion, a grip portion and a blunt portion axially spaced along said longitudinal axis;
• said grip portion comprising an enlarged area formed by a generally continuous circumferentially curved cylindrical surface extending about said longitudinal axis, and said grip portion defining a first longitudinal end and a second longitudinal end;
• said taper portion extending from said first longitudinal end and including top and bottom taper portion surfaces and opposing taper portion side edges, said opposing taper portion side edges tapering toward each other in a direction away from said grip portion and meeting at a point;
• said blunt portion extending from said second longitudinal end and including top and bottom blunt portion surfaces and opposing blunt portion side edges, said blunt portion side edges terminating at a distal end defined by a broad edge extending transverse to said longitudinal axis;
• and further comprising concavely radiused surfaces extending from said grip portion to said top and bottom surfaces of said taper portion and concavely radiused surfaces extending from said grip portion to said top and bottom surfaces of said blunt portion.
