Claims
- 1. A tool for improved placement of a backing within a stonework joint for sealing thereof comprising:
- a paddle;
- an edge on said paddle having a thickness and a length;
- a gauging bar, parallel to said edge;
- two parallel edge engaging plates affixed to the paddle, extending beyond said gauging bar a distance, forming a channel therebetween.
- 2. The apparatus of claim 1 further comprising:
- said distance being proportioned to said thickness.
- 3. The apparatus of claim 1 further comprising:
- said distance being the appropriate depth for contact of sealant in a joint having a width approximately equal to the paddle thickness.
- 4. The apparatus of claim 1 further comprising:
- said engaging plates defining backer rod engaging edges;
- said engaging edges being parallel, extending a length which is longer than said thickness.
- 5. The apparatus of claim 1 further comprising:
- said thickness being a gauge for matching a joint;
- said gauging bar distance being a gauge for sealant wall contact within said.
- 6. A tool for correction of placement of backer into a stonework joint comprising:
- means for insertion gauging a joint width of said stone work joint;
- means for correcting the placement of the contact of the edges of backer within said joint;
- means, proportioned to the joint width gauged by said means for insertion, for gauging the depth of said contact of the edges of backer within said joint; said means for correcting the placement of the contact comprise:
- a channel having parallel sides and outer edges, extending a distance from said paddle.
- 7. The tool of claim 6 wherein said means for gauging depth comprise:
- a gauging bar, parallel to said means for correcting the placement of the contact, and spaced a distance therefrom equal to said depth.
- 8. The tool of claim 6 wherein said means for gauging depth comprise:
- two parallel gauging bars, each parallel to said means correcting the placement of the contact, and spaced a distance therefrom equal to said depth.
