Fugentorpedo – Makes Joints Shine again

Shark Tank of Patents

EP3314072B1 relates to the cleaning of joints and gutters where conventional joint or gutter scrapers are rather inconvenient for end users and relatively inflexible in terms of the width of the joint/gutter to be worked on.

The special trick of "Fugentorpedo", the novel cleaning device lies in the fact (see Figs. 3B and 3C of EP3314072B1) that a bar 20 is inserted into a base body 10, the bar 20 having a latching lug 22 at the front in the working direction, which can be latched into a recess 18 of the base body 10.

By actuating a grooved area 24 at the end of the rod 20, which actuates the latching lug 22, the rod 20 can be pulled out of the recess 18.
