Benefits of technology

"The invention provides a tool coating with colored patterns that make the tool look more attractive and beautiful. The colored patterns can be positioned at any location on the tool coating, making it easy to identify. The tool coating comprises a body, at least one colored pattern layer, and optionally a composite layer. The colored pattern layer is applied to the surface of the tool coating."

Problems solved by technology

Conventional tool coatings have very few flat surfaces so printing on the surface of the tool coatings is difficult, especially when the colored patterns, letters, numbers, figures or combination be printed intricate and need precision printing.
Therefore, printing on tool coatings is often restricted to flat surfaces of the tool coating.
Printing the patterns, letters, numbers, figures or combination in color with conventional printing techniques results in poor quality, unfocused images so as the appearance of the tool coating is not attractive.

second embodiment

[0024] With further reference to FIG. 3 the tool coating with colored patterns in accordance with the present invention applied to a tool (30) is a dipped tool coating and has a colored pattern layer (33).

third embodiment

[0025] With further reference to FIG. 4, the tool coating with colored patterns in accordance with the present invention applied to a tool (40) is a dipped tool coating and has two color pattern layers (43).

fourth embodiment

[0026] With further reference to FIG. 5, the tool coating with colored patterns in accordance with the present invention applied to a tool (50) is a cast tool coating and has a colored pattern layer (53).

[0027] The present invention has the following improvements.

[0028] 1. The at least one colored pattern layer with colorful and exquisite characters and figures may be applied to any the surface of the tool coating mounted on the tool to decorate the tool make the tool more attractive.

[0029] 2. The color pattern layers are soft and pliable so they readily conform to any flat or curved surface of the tool coating body. Therefore, the characters and figures of the colored pattern layer may be placed at any desired position on the tool coating body.

Abstract

A tool coating with colored patterns is attached to a tool, has a tool coating foundation having a surface and at least one colored pattern layer. The at least one colored pattern layer may form exquisite and colorful characters and figures and may be attached to any surface of the tool coating foundation instead of only flat surfaces of the tool coating body. Therefore the appearance of the tool is more attractive and a user can see the characters and figures of the tool coating and identify the tool easily.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to a tool coating, and more particularly to a tool coating with an exterior surface having colored patterns bonded to the surface without regard to the shape of the surface. [0003] 2. Description of Related Art [0004] A conventional tool such as a wrench used to turn a bolt, is usually made of metal and a handle that is covered by a tool coating. The functions of the tool coating include but are not limited to improving a person's grip on the tool, insulating the tool and decorating the tool. The tool coating usually has a shape and a feel to allow a user to grip the tool safely, easily and comfortably. [0005] Tool coatings are available in two basic types depending on how the tool coating is fabricated. Tool coatings may be fabricated and applied by dipping the handle or handles of tool into a liquid plastic or polymer material, removing the handle or handles of the tool from the liqui...
