Abstract
Description
[0001] DESCRIPTION
[0002] A strip of putty prepared for filling with a tape or reinforcing tape included in a sealed container.
[0003] The present invention consists of a putty strip prepared and reinforced with a strip or tape of fiberglass, fabric or paper that fulfills the purpose of reinforcing the joints of plasterboard or sheets or other types of interior and exterior cladding plates and in turn to fill plasterboard plates as well as other types of construction plates in the beveled or lowered part where the plates are joined.
[0004] Putty and plasters are construction materials used to fill and repair joints in cladding boards. These materials can be prepared at the time of application by adding water to a container into which the plaster or putty is sprinkled with water to begin the setting process. This is a widely used technique, if not the most used, which requires previous experience and speed in its application, which is why it is not prepared in large quantities by the expert. After a while and once it has a viscous or consistent consistency to be used according to the criteria of the applicator, it is removed with a spatula to a container in order to gradually remove the plaster or putty from the container and apply it to the joints of the boards, which will be fitted with a reinforcing tape before applying the plasters or putties for filling. Generally, the putties or plasters come in bags in powder form to later be prepared with water.using containers to later be discarded or stored in places where there is not always space, as well as they come in plastic buckets of different sizes and weights in which they do come prepared and ready to be used, these are generally more expensive to come already prepared and come in buckets that are generally made of plastic material with the disadvantage that they have that when they are constantly opened and closed to be applied exposing them to the air that activates their setting and contamination of the same material or with its own material that dries on top of the bucket and falls on the clean material deteriorating it, material that if left over must be stored somewhere that meets the technical requirements of the partition and that are generally not met losing the excess material. on the other hand, the tape or tape for reinforcements is used in construction to place and reinforce the joints of the plates before filling to avoid cracks with thetime in the putty or plaster in the joints of lining plates as well as to reinforce repairs anywhere in these plates, these tapes are applied over the entire extension of the plate joints and are made of fiberglass or moisture resistant paper in terms of the presentation format of the reinforcement tapes come rolled on themselves with different lengths to later unroll it as it is required to install by the expert being that generally you have to save the surplus although it is easy to store it also generates an extra expense that can not be avoided by its standard measurements that range from 20 meters to more than 90 meters being an inevitable extra expense at the time of building Currently, although there are techniques for applying filling materials to joints of plates or plasterboard or other types of plates for construction, the previous technique does not consider or include allthe materials in a single prepared application are only limited to the separate application of each material, it even contemplates preparing the filling material at the moment to later be applied, on the other hand this invention comes to simplify the application of fillers for joints of plates or coating plates by coming everything incorporated and ready for application, which is reserved only for teachers or experts in the matter, giving anyone the ability to do it and to be able to apply the product quickly, easily and cleanly without having to occupy spaces to store surplus materials or as well as missing material, which this tape solves several situations such as the preparation of the filling material and complex application techniques, all in a single product.
[0005] The description of the invention mentioned consists of a fiberglass or paper strip which reinforces the joints of the plates. This strip is included along the strip of putty or filling material. These two materials, one for reinforcement and the other for filling, are placed inside a container that protects their qualities and shape, a container that will seal the materials inside.
[0006] The putty strip prepared for filling with tape or reinforcement tape included in a sealed container is manufactured with two sheets that can be thermoplastic or some other plastic material of elongated and rectangular shape (1 and 4), while one sheet goes down inside a mold, the putty for filling (2) is spread homogeneously along and above the sheet (1) that is above the mold then the fiberglass tape (3) is placed along and above the putty (2) placing it from end to end in all its extension, then another plastic sheet (4) is placed on top then they are joined in all its edge and contour (5) with the sheet below, all the possible air is extracted ending everything in a single piece or sealed and joined structure, giving it a characteristic resistance and maneuverability, with respect to the packaging it can have a tab (7) in some of its corners or a pre-cut or pre-chopped (8) in any from its ends to make moreeasy to open, you can add measurement indicators anywhere through its extension, drawing or label to be formed a quick guide in case a cut is required cut to its exact size. container that must also have adequate resistance and hardness to serve as an applicator throughout its extension and must have the quality of conserving moisture inside, moisture that in turn serves as a release agent when applying the putty (2) without prejudice to being able to apply another release liquid to the inside of the container or that from its same properties or treatment of the container so that it is easy to remove from the putty (2) in order to leave it exposed to the setting process in terms of its dimensions the container must comply with the standard measurements of the construction plates (6) and the lowered edges of these plates which range from 120 cm in its shortest part and from 240 cm in its longest part, although due to its new shape ortechnique to apply the product contained inside the container can be up to 260 centimeters container that must also comply with its respective width and depth generated at the time of joining these construction plates these plates that when joined by their opposite and lowered edges give the sum of 10 cm wide as a minimum, therefore following the previous reasoning of the longitudinal measurement, this width must reach up to 30 centimeters if required and the explanation of these extra measures has to do with the fact that the minimum measurements contemplated are for the material contained inside and the maximum measurements will be for the container that said previously it is a new form of application and to also leave enough space so that it can be sealed having to leave a fin shape on all its edges since they will serve the purpose of the cleaner application of the materials the tape with its contained materialsit must have a minimum height of 5 millimeters to approximately 5 centimeters since there are plates that do not have a lowered edge on their contours, so the content may vary according to manufacturing requirements. The form or manner of applying the product consists of cutting the container (1 and 4) at its tip in the seal part (5) by pulling the tab (7) or cutting the pre-cut (8), gradually removing the rear sheet (4) that will face the wall (6) by exerting pressure with the hand or tool that is deemed convenient in the front part above the front sheet (1) in its entire extension to fill the spaces to be repaired or filled and once the sheet has been removed from the back part (4) and the filling (2) is fixed to the plate (6), the front sheet (1) is removed, which will leave the filling material (2) exposed to subsequently level it with a spatula or specialized tool to match putties or plasters (2) in order to give wayto the setting process which begins once installed on the plate (6) and not in containers as is generally done today, this new way of applying the materials means that the application of these reinforcing and filling materials is up to 10 times faster than the existing application techniques, considering an average application time of less than 1 minute per strip in contrast to up to 10 minutes with the slower application techniques which consider preparing the filling material in a container and waiting for it to set as would be the case with plaster.
[0007] This invention can be exploited by most companies dedicated to the manufacture of construction materials in the field of painting, which produce plasters and putties of all kinds and sell large volumes to different retail companies nationally and globally, since they are generally multinational companies.
[0008] The current state of the art to reinforce and fill plate joints consists of first applying a thin layer of filler along the plate joint, then a paper or fiberglass tape or strip is placed on top of and along the thin layer of filler, which reinforces the joint of the plates, as is the patent called joining tape with date and publication number of the European concession: 04.11.2015 EP 1936064, this reinforcing joining tape for plates comes to reinforce already applied putties as well as to install it before applying the filling putties or plasters, what characterizes it is its application in damp materials or walls but it is not a filling element since it is only to reinforce said joints, there is also a European application number: 08290472 .3 which is a tool that mixes and applies a filling putty and a reinforcing tape at the same time that when passing through the machine it joins both materials,machine that must be prepared and learned to use and that does not fill the spaces between the plate joints, leaving for later the application of the missing filler with a spatula or tool that fulfills the function of filling the plate joints. I would also like to mention the European application: 96931911.0 which consists of a plastic container that serves as a container and applicator that has an external plastic nozzle to apply automotive putty and that is compact in size and trapezoidal in shape. This container is characterized more by its gradual use of its only content applied through a plastic nozzle. As can be seen, none of them has as a characteristic the configuration of all the material in a single structure, whether it is the reinforcing tape and the prepared filler material that is contained in layers within a sealed laminar container and also does not consider the application in a single step.packaging which is discarded once used, which makes the application of the product cleaner without generating losses or waste of filler content as usually happens with the existing application technique since most of the time it consists of preparing the plasters or putties for filling at the moment that have to be prepared by experts in the field with their exact setting times and that even so inevitably generate waste and losses of material,The advantage that this product also has is that it comes prepared with its exact dosage to be applied and ready to be used by anyone, reducing the cost of labor to carry out these jobs as well as reducing application times considerably as well as avoiding the accumulation of surpluses of these products when there are leftovers and that finally spoil over time and in some cases prevents the lack of material by coming in its exact measure consequently all its qualities of form, configuration, dimension and application make it a versatile product easy to use and more friendly with the environment as it also implies a reduction of monetary costs in the calculation and final surrender for people and companies.,
