There is disclosed a strip applying tool for applying strip material to substrates. The tool includes a slidably mounted punching member to remove a portion of the strip material thereby facilitating the formation of a corner while maintaining the strip in a continuous uninterrupted length. The tool further provides a channel extending therein to receive strip material which provides a guide wall to permit the application of the strip to the substrate while maintaining a lower surface of the tool above the substrate to prevent moving or scratching of the substrate.

Why it's free to use
- Filed June 3, 1991 and granted September 15, 1998. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended June 3, 2011.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by June 3, 2013.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
