Abstract

A compound delivery applicator comprising a substantially conical portion comprising a first end configured to couple to a compound receptacle and an applicator blade coupled to the substantially conical portion. The applicator blade comprises a first portion extending outwardly along a longitudinal axis of and from a second end of the substantially conical portion, the first portion comprising a first side edge and a second side edge each forming an acute angle relative to the longitudinal axis of the substantially conical portion and a scraper coupled to the first portion distal the substantially conical portion. The compound delivery applicator further comprises a compound delivery channel extending internally through at least a portion of the substantially conical portion, the compound delivery channel further extending through the scraper of the applicator blade and configured to pass a compound therethrough.

Claims

1. A compound delivery applicator comprising:

a substantially conical portion comprising a first end configured to couple to a compound receptacle;

an applicator blade coupled to the substantially conical portion, the applicator blade comprising;

a first portion extending outwardly along a longitudinal axis of and from a second end of the substantially conical portion, the first portion comprising a first side edge and a second side edge each forming an acute angle relative to the longitudinal axis of the substantially conical portion; and

a scraper coupled to the first portion distal the substantially conical portion, the scraper comprising a recessed channel along at least a portion of an edge of the scraper distal from the first portion of the applicator blade;

a compound delivery channel proximate at least one of the first and second side edges of the first portion of the applicator blade and extending internally through at least a portion of the substantially conical portion, the compound delivery channel further extending through the scraper of the applicator blade and configured to pass a compound therethrough; and

a flow control button located within the recessed channel of the scraper.

2. The compound delivery applicator of claim 1, wherein the scraper further comprises a distribution surface comprising an opening configured to pass compound from the compound delivery channel therethrough.

3. The compound delivery applicator of claim 2, wherein the distribution surface forms an acute angle relative to the longitudinal axis of the substantially conical portion.

4. The compound delivery applicator of claim 3, wherein the recessed channel is located on a surface of the scraper other than the distribution surface.

5. The compound delivery applicator of claim 1, further comprising a tab located proximal the substantially conical portion.

6. The compound delivery applicator of claim 1, wherein the compound delivery applicator is configured to pivot laterally about the longitudinal axis.

7. The compound delivery applicator of claim 1, wherein the compound delivery applicator is configured to pivot vertically about the longitudinal axis.

8. The compound delivery applicator of claim 1, further comprising a sanding surface located on an exterior surface of at least one of the substantially conical portion and the applicator blade.

9. A compound delivery applicator comprising:

a substantially conical portion comprising a first end configured to threadably couple to a compound receptacle;

an applicator blade coupled to the substantially conical portion, the applicator blade comprising;

a first portion extending outwardly along a longitudinal axis of and from a second end of the substantially conical portion, the first portion comprising a first side edge and a second side edge each forming an acute angle relative to the longitudinal axis of the substantially conical portion; and

a scraper coupled to the first portion distal the substantially conical portion; and

a compound delivery channel extending internally through at least a portion of the substantially conical portion, the compound delivery channel further extending through the scraper of the applicator blade and configured to pass a compound therethrough.

10. The compound delivery applicator of claim 9, wherein an edge of the scraper comprises a first edge portion and a second edge portion forming an angle with each other within a range of 90 to 120 degrees and wherein the edge of the scraper further comprises a third edge portion and a fourth edge portion that are substantially parallel to one another.

11. The compound delivery applicator of claim 9, further comprising a sanding surface located on an exterior surface of at least one of the substantially conical portion and the applicator blade.

12. The compound delivery applicator of claim 9, further comprising a cap configured to fit over the compound delivery applicator and secure to a compound receptacle.

13. The compound delivery applicator of claim 12, wherein the cap further comprises a sanding surface on an end of the cap distal from an open end of the cap.

14. The compound delivery applicator of claim 9, wherein the compound delivery applicator is configured to pivot laterally about the longitudinal axis.

15. The compound delivery applicator of claim 9, wherein the compound delivery applicator is configured to pivot vertically about the longitudinal axis.

16. The compound delivery applicator of claim 9, further comprising a tab located proximal the substantially conical portion.
