  • Adhesive spreader
    Patent number: 5379479
    Abstract: A handle attached to a spreader blade housing. The housing supports a spreader blade which spreads the adhesive over a desired surface. The angle of the handle is preferably adjustable relative to the housing. Weights are added to the housing to apply a downward force to the spreader blade, so that a downward force need not be applied through the handle by an operator. The weights are preferably removable, allowing the weight applied to the spreader blade to be adjusted to compensate for different viscosities of adhesive and different application speeds.
