  • Publication number: 20030079361
    Abstract: A wallpapering tool is provided generally comprising a main portion and a leg portion. The main portion generally includes a handle and a blade defining a longitudinal axis. The blade is connected at one end to the handle, while the other free end of the blade defines a straight guiding edge. The leg portion is integrally formed with the main portion and projects laterally therefrom to further define the straight guiding edge. In one embodiment, the leg portion is defined solely by the blade. In another embodiment, the handle and blade in combination define the leg portion. The leg portion provides access to the straight guiding edge that would normally be blocked by the blade, the handle, a person's hand holding the took, or any combination thereof.
