AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The invention is a way to quickly and evenly place mortar in a consistent manner. It is critical to work quickly because properly mixed mortar has a short shelf life, usually 90 minutes, but can be significantly shorter in hot temperatures and sunlight. This patent aims to provide a faster and more efficient way to apply mortar for construction purposes.

Problems solved by technology

The speed with which this device works is critical as properly mixed mortar has a very short shelf life, typically 90 minutes but this time can be shortened dramatically in the event of high temperatures and hot sunlight.

Embodiment Construction

[0012]The “Mortar Application Device” is constructed using a power source combined with a mortar hopper. The power source rotates a cam wheel. This cam wheel makes contact with the mortar hopper. The resulting vibration from the cam wheel to the mortar hopper causes the mortar to flow from the mortar exit orifice.

[0013]The power source in my current prototype uses electricity but can easily be converted to operate on battery power.

[0014]Mortar itself is a very dirty and gritty material. It is mainly composed of sand and Portland cement. Both materials are highly destructive to any power tool. By keeping a clear separation between the power source and the mortar, the tool could last for years.

Abstract

A device used for the placement mortar or similar type substances in a specific location. Those locations could be brick, block or other places where mortar and other similar materials are used in construction and repair of masonry structures and objects.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to a method for controlling the placement of mortar or other similar materials.BACKGROUND[0002]Present day tools typically used for the placement of mortar include a trowel for placing the mortar and a hawk for holding the mortar. The “Mortar Application Device” replaces these two tools to allow for rapid and even application of mortar where it is desired.[0003]The “Mortar Application Device” is an invention I created in order to construct block and masonry walls more effectively. The prototype shown in the attached photos was constructed by me to meet that need. I actually tried to locate and purchase a similar device but was unable to find anything suitableSUMMARY OF THE INVENTION[0004]The object of this invention is to create a way to place mortar in an even, consistent and rapid manner. The speed with which this device works is critical as properly mixed mortar has a very short shelf life, typically 90 minutes but this ti...
