<p>A hand held tool (30) for the uniform compressing, forming and simultaneous cleaning of a previously applied bead of caulking (17) or other similar fluent material from a constructed joint (31). The tool (30) includes an elongated handle (16) and triangular head (11) with working edges (13), the working edges (13) being essentially an arrow-like shaped piece of rubber-like material fixed to and extending slightly beyond the acute isosceles triangular shaped head portion (20) of the tool (30) at the extremity opposite an elongated handle (16), the acute angle of the working edges (13) at the extremity is slightly rounded. The head (20) and the handle (16) contain a continuous longitudinal cavity provided for the collection of excess material gathered during the operation of the tool (30) and in the preferred embodiment the head (20) and handle (16) are essentially molded as one unit in resilient plastic material with the handle (16) expanding in a fan-like shape the outer angles of the head (20).</p> |
