Application Tool With Holding Recesses For Antislip Protrusions
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing methods for forming antislip protrusions on flooring materials, such as ceramic tiles and granite, require masking sheets that are wasteful and cumbersome to set up, making it difficult to quickly and efficiently form coated portions with reduced variation.
Innovation Solution
An application tool with protruding application bodies that hold coating liquid in recesses, allowing for the direct application of antislip treatment composition without masking sheets, enabling precise and rapid formation of coated portions with reduced waste and variation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If masking sheets are used to form antislip protrusions, then the coating liquid can be precisely applied to specific portions, but the masking sheets are wasted and the operation becomes cumbersome and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The invention extracts and eliminates the masking sheet from the system by using application bodies with holding recesses that directly hold and apply coating liquid to form antislip protrusions without requiring any masking material, thereby removing the waste and time-consuming setup associated with masking sheets
Solution Approach 2:
The application bodies with holding recesses serve themselves by directly holding the coating liquid and applying it to the floor surface without needing external masking sheets, enabling the system to perform the coating function autonomously and efficiently
2Manufacturing precision
If masking sheets are used to form antislip protrusions, then the coating liquid can be precisely applied to specific portions, but the process becomes complex and difficult to complete in a short time period
Solution Approach 1:
The masking sheet operation is extracted and removed from the system, replacing it with simple application bodies that directly apply coating liquid through holding recesses, thereby simplifying the overall process while maintaining precision
Solution Approach 2:
The application bodies have holding recesses with specific local structures that enable precise coating liquid application to specific portions of the floor surface, achieving the required precision through localized structural features rather than complex masking operations
3Manufacturing precision
If masking sheets are used to form antislip protrusions, then the coating liquid can be applied to form uniform protrusions, but the masking sheets generate waste and increase operational burden
Solution Approach 1:
The masking sheet is extracted from the system and replaced by application bodies with holding recesses that directly form uniform antislip protrusions through controlled coating liquid application, eliminating the waste of masking sheets while maintaining uniformity
Solution Approach 2:
The holding recesses in the application bodies are designed with specific dimensional parameters that control the shape and size of the applied coating liquid, ensuring uniform antislip protrusions are formed without requiring masking sheets

AI summary
Provided is an application tool that allows reduction of an amount of waste by using no masking sheets, and can easily form a coated portion such as an antislip protrusion with reduced variation in a short time period. The application tool includes a support plate and a plurality of application bodies disposed at the support plate so as to protrude with height positions of the tips aligned with each other. A tip recess is disposed at the tip portion of each of the plurality of the application bodies as a holding recess for holding coating liquid.
