Abstract

We offer a mini S-tool that allows anyone to easily and foolproofly fill nail holes and wood screw holes inside their home (using disposable chopsticks from a convenience store) for free. [Solution] The hole-filling material is a disposable chopstick A which is sharpened to a circular, sharp angle with a pencil sharpener 2, temporarily hammered in with a hammer 3, the insertion part cut with a saw 1 is driven in, and a piece of the combined set S is attached to the base material surface A which has been driven in and the disposable chopstick A which has been driven in is sanded in the same time. A pocket-sized hole-filling tool mini S is provided.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention is composed of a rectangular box-shaped case B, a saw 1 inserted into the case B, a pencil sharpener 2, and a main body A having a hammer structure at the opposite part of the pencil sharpener 2, which are set as a set. The present invention considers the mounting structure of the saw 1 as an inventive structure. Usually, after driving a hole-filling material into a nail hole, the driven material A driven into the base material surface I is often cut obliquely, damaged by a cutter knife or the like, and requires skilled skills. The present invention is an inventive mounting structure of the saw that can cut while leaving the driving cost and can perform a floating cut.

Background Art

[0002] Conventionally, nail holes and wood screw holes in houses and interiors were repaired by resin or wood powder by professionals, and high costs were paid. Recently, L-shaped metal fittings using wood screws as earthquake countermeasures for overturned furniture have been shunned, and various measures such as jacks, cardboard, and rubber plates have been taken. For tall furniture and the like, L-shaped metal fittings are optimal. If there is a tool that anyone can easily repair the hole filling, at least the furniture in the bedroom can be fixed and measures can be taken so that it does not become a floor mat for the furniture. However, everyone thinks that it is good to use wood screws for attaching the curtain rail. Is it not okay to fix tall furniture that is life-threatening if it falls with the wood screws of the L-shaped metal fitting? Some public housing seems to be prohibited. When moving, people do not want to pay repair costs and the house will be damaged, so they are shunned.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] Therefore, there were the following problems. (a) When moving to a new apartment or condominium, you may be charged exorbitant fees. (i) I don't understand why they're doing the repairs. (c) Ultimately, you end up hiring a professional company and reluctantly paying to solve the problem. This invention solves these problems by creating a mini hole-filling tool that anyone can easily use to fill holes, and what's more, it uses disposable chopsticks from a convenience store, so there are no material costs and no repair costs. [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] (a) Repair materials can be disposable chopsticks or toothpicks from a convenience store, so the material cost is 0 yen. (i) Use the pencil sharpener 2 on tool body A to sharpen one end of chopstick A into a cone shape. (c) Insert the sharpened chopstick A into the nail hole (you can also apply wood glue to the sharpened end). (e) Lightly light the tip of the inserted chopsticks. (O) Using the tool body, which is fixed in place with the saw 1 attached (with a few mm of driving allowance raised) (patent application section) on one side of the tool body A (the side into which the chopsticks are driven), the saw is moved back and forth, leaving a few mm of driving allowance, to cut. (c) Therefore, the disposable chopsticks can be cut parallel to the main body to be repaired, leaving a few millimeters of space for insertion. (k) After cutting, the tool body A is stored in case B and integrated into one unit S. (K) The opposite side of the integrated hole-filling tool Mini S pencil sharpener, the main body side (with a sturdy, thick structure that functions as a hammer), can be used as a hammer to drive in holes with a few millimeters of clearance. (Ke) After driving in the hole, hold sandpaper lengthwise along one side of the hole-filling tool Mini S case B, and press with your thumb and index finger to finish the base of the driven chopstick A at the same time. [Effects of the Invention]

[0006] (a) Safety Aspect The tool body A (saw 1, pencil sharpener 2) is integrated into case B, making it a single unit S and ensuring safety. (i) Compact, pocket-sized is good. (c) Parallel cutting is difficult with a utility knife, but it is good to be able to cut while leaving a gap for the drive-in. (e) It can also be used as a pencil sharpener, which is convenient. (O) It's convenient because it's easy for any amateur woman to use. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

[0007] [Figure 1] Six-view drawing and perspective view of the present invention [Figure 2] Case body of the present invention, lower left perspective view. [Figure 3] Perspective view of the present invention (upper left) and cross-sectional view of the pencil sharpener. [Figure 4] Perspective view of the present invention (lower left) and cross-sectional view after cutting with chopsticks inserted. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0008] The following describes embodiments for carrying out the present invention. Drawing 1: Hole-filling tool mini main unit A - 6 views and perspective view Drawing 2 Case B Perspective View Drawing 3: Cross-sectional view with pencil sharpener 2 and one end of chopstick A inserted. The pencil sharpener 2 is attached to one of the main body A's longitudinal sides and fixed in place. One end of the disposable chopsticks 7 is inserted and rotated to create a circular, sharp angle. In the center of the main body of Drawing 4A, there is a groove for inserting the saw blade 1, which is several meters (for insertion) above one side of the base of the main body. (K) The saw blade 1 is inserted into a groove that has risen a few millimeters and is fixed in place with adhesive. (K) Place the main body surface that has been cut with the saw 1 above against the base of the driven chopstick, and push the main body 1 in the direction of the chopstick while pushing and pulling it back and forth. This allows anyone to safely complete the cut while leaving some clearance for the chopstick. (K) Thus, the invention of the floating cutting saw was made, which allows anyone to cut a driven-in hole-filling member without damaging the base material surface and leaving a driving allowance. The present invention has the above-described configuration When using the present invention (C) Method of using the Hole Filling Tool Mini S to repair nail holes and screw holes indoors in a building without relying on external contractors and without incurring costs (explanation with reference to the cross-sectional view of Drawing 4) For the hole filling material, split chopstick A is sharpened into a circular acute angle with a pencil sharpener 2, temporarily struck with a hammer 3, cut with a saw 1, the driving allowance is driven in, a sandpaper is attached to one piece of the A+B combined set S, and the base material surface i and the driven split chopstick A are simultaneously finished with sandpaper to complete the work

Claims

[Claim 1] The structure involves embedding a saw blade of appropriate length, width, and thickness (1 mm) into one side of the hole-filling tool mini body A, which has been curved and then attached to that side. The structure has a U-shaped groove on the inside into which a saw blade 1, approximately 1 mm thick, can be inserted, and the saw blade 1 is fixed at a position a few millimeters above the bottom surface (see Figure 4, Y-Y cross section). Due to the above structure, the blade of saw 1 does not come into contact with the base material surface A where the hole repair is to be made, allowing for parallel cutting to the base material surface without damaging the base material. The hammering allowance is then hammered in again and finished with sandpaper. We offer the small, foolproof hammering tool Mini S.
