Patent number: 11673233Abstract: A device for smoothing a working edge of a squeegee tool that is used for application of film substrates to glass surfaces; the device having a main body including a base and opposing first and second panels extending away from the base and diverging away from one another to define an open mouth, and a fabric sheet secured to the main body at opposite end portions, and the fabric sheet including a central portion received within the open mouth and formed in a V-shape transverse configuration, wherein the working edge of the tool is moved longitudinally between the opposing panels and in frictional engagement with a top surface of the fabric sheet at a bottom of the V-shape to effectively remove bumps, nicks and scratches on the working edge of the tool.Type: GrantFiled: June 18, 2019Date of Patent: June 13, 2023Assignee: TRI-EDGE INDUSTRIES, LLCInventor: Jay Mendez

Patent number: 11185197Abstract: A window cleaning tool for removing dirt, dust, residue and other debris from the surface of a window includes a rigid plate member having a flat top surface, a flat bottom surface, a peripheral side edge including a back edge and left and right side edges converging towards one another and meeting at a nose of the plate member. A strap passes through elongate slot openings in the plate member to allow the plate member to be secured to a user's hand with the back of the user's hand engaged against the top surface of the plate member. Hook components of a hook and loop fastener on the bottom of the plate member allow for releasable attachment of a non-scratch scouring pad thereto. The scouring pad is generally configured to match the shape of the plate member as defined by the outer peripheral edge.Type: GrantFiled: September 17, 2019Date of Patent: November 30, 2021Assignee: TRI-EDGE INDUSTRIES, LLCInventor: Jay Mendez

Patent number: 10179443Abstract: A tool for applying tint film to the rear window of an automobile has a unitary body with a concave top side and a convex bottom side, and the unitary body including a first elongate wing with front and rear edges extending to a first distal end, and an opposite second elongate wing with front and rear edges extending to a second distal end, and a central portion between the first and second elongate wings. The unitary body includes a skeletal frame member and flexible blades fitted to the skeletal frame member and extending about a periphery of the first and second elongate wings to define the front and rear edges and distal ends. The skeletal frame maintains desired curvature and prevents excessive flexing and bending of the elongate wings. The first and second wings have different degrees of curvature measured transversely between the respective front and rear edges.Type: GrantFiled: April 4, 2017Date of Patent: January 15, 2019Assignee: TRI-EDGE INDUSTRIES, LLCInventors: Jay Mendez, Glenn Schneider
