Embodiment Construction
[0017] The cutting tool guide structures provided herein allow for easy and precise cutting of adhesive-backed films applied to, or partially applied to, vehicle or motor vehicle surfaces. A motor vehicle may be, for example, a car or a van. Preferably, the cutting tool guide structure is placed on a surface of the motor vehicle. This allows cutting off excess film adjacent to or even on the surface of the motor vehicle, thereby reducing the formation of air bubbles and cracks on the remaining film or the need to reposition portions of the film that have adhered.
[0018] Preferred surfaces include the roof and side panels of an automobile with the roof most preferred.
[0019] A cutting tool guide structure according to the present disclosure may be removably attachable to a motor vehicle, it may also be securely attached to the motor vehicle such that it remains in place. The cutting tool guide structure includes at least one cutting slit. The cutting slot receives a cutt...

Abstract
The invention provides a cutting tool guide (1) for cutting an adhesive backing film partially applied to a vehicle surface. The cutting tool guide structure (1) is removably attached to the surface of the vehicle, the cutting tool guide structure (1) includes a cutting slit (4) for receiving a cutting tool (6), and the cutting The slit (4) is dimensioned such that the cutting tool can move back and forth in one direction within the cutting slit (4) for a cutting operation. The guide structure (4) also includes an engagement area (2) at an opposite end, the engagement area being shaped and configured to match an opposing surface area (5) of the vehicle, the engagement area enabling the cutting tool A guide structure (1) may have its engagement area placed on said surface area of said vehicle to provide an abutting fit. Also provided is a method of applying an adhesive-backed film to the surface of a vehicle and cutting the film to conform to the surface using the cutting tool guide structure.
Description
technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a cutting tool guide structure allowing precise cutting of a film applied to a vehicle surface, and to a method of cutting an adhesive backing film applied to an automotive surface using the cutting tool guide structure. Background technique [0002] It has recently become popular to use different paint colors on the body of motor vehicles such as passenger cars. For example, it is desirable for a car to have a black roof, while the rest of the car body is a different color. Applying the different colors requires two successive painting processes. In the first step, the first coat of paint is applied to the entire body of the vehicle. The first coat of paint must dry before the second coat can be applied over the first coat. This operation takes a long time and is thus expensive. As an alternative to different paint layers, suitably colored polymer films may be used to provide the different colours, which polymer fi...
