Description

La présente invention concerne un couvercle muni d'un verseur de type à "guillotine" à débit variable, pouvant notamment équiper les boîtes de teinte de base employées pour les carrosseries automobiles et qui sont utilisées dans les machines d'agitation.The present invention relates to a cover provided with a "guillotine" type pourer with variable flow rate, which can in particular be fitted to the base shade boxes used for automobile bodies and which are used in stirring machines.

Les couvercles de ce type comprennent un bec verseur dont la tranche d'ouverture est rigoureusement plane. La tirette qui est appliquée sur le bec verseur est également plane et glisse sur la tranche du bec verseur lorsqu'on tire son levier d'actionnement pour verser la peinture. Pour réduire au maximum les phénomènes de collage de peinture sur la tranche et donc permettre la reproduction facile de l'ouverture de la tirette, il est nécessaire que le glissement de la tirette sur la tranche du bec puisse se faire avec une force d'appui adéquate afin de chasser tout dépôt de peinture à ce niveau.Lids of this type include a pouring spout, the opening edge of which is strictly flat. The pull tab that is applied to the spout is also flat and slides over the edge of the spout when you pull its operating lever to pour the paint. To minimize paint sticking phenomena on the edge and therefore allow easy reproduction of the opening of the zipper, it is necessary that the sliding of the zipper on the edge of the spout can be done with a pressing force adequate to remove any paint deposits at this level.

La présente invention vise à répondre en particulier à ce but et propose un couvercle muni d'un bec verseur pour boîtes de teintes de base sur les machines d'agitation, comportant :
- au moins un élément de fixation sur une boîte de teinte,
- un bec verseur dont la tranche d'ouverture est rigou­reusement plane,
- une tirette mobile complémentaire de la tranche d'ouvertu­re du bec verseur et susceptible de glisser sur celle-ci,
- un levier d'actionnement à deux branches, articulé au couvercle et relié à ladite tirette mobile entre une position de repos où la tirette obture le bec verseur et une position tirée de service où la peinture peut être versée; caractérisé en ce qu'il est muni:
- d'un ressort plat fixé au couvercle par sa partie arrière, à l'avant de l'axe agitateur, comprenant sur sa face avant une aile appliquée en pression contre la tirette, et,à distance du point de fixation,deux oreilles verticales et descendantes disposées de part et d'autre et proches de chacun des bords longitudinaux de la tirette,et
- deux ressorts hélicoïdaux reliés, d'une part, à chacune des oreilles du ressort plat et, d'autre part, à ladite tirette au niveau de sa partie arrière.The present invention aims to respond in particular to this aim and proposes a cover provided with a pouring spout for boxes of basic colors on stirring machines, comprising:
- at least one fixing element on a color box,
- a pouring spout whose opening edge is strictly flat,
- a mobile pull tab complementary to the opening edge of the pouring spout and capable of sliding thereon,
- An actuating lever with two branches, hinged to the cover and connected to said movable pull tab between a rest position where the pull tab closes the pouring spout and a pulled service position where the paint can be poured; characterized in that it is provided with:
- a flat spring fixed to the cover by its rear part, at the front of the agitator axis, comprising on its front face a wing applied under pressure against the pull tab, and, at a distance from the attachment point, two vertical and descending ears arranged on either side and close to each of the longitudinal edges of the zipper, and
- Two helical springs connected, on the one hand, to each of the ears of the flat spring and, on the other hand, to said pull tab at its rear part.

Il résulte de cette disposition que la traction du le­vier d'actionnement met en tension les ressorts hélicoïdaux, ce qui induit sur le ressort plat un couple de torsion par rapport à son point de fixation, qui augmente la force d'appui de ladite aile avant sur la tirette. Cette action accentue par conséquent le placage de la tirette sur la tranche du bec ver­seur, ceci proportionnellement à l'ouverture de la tirette, et se révèle très efficace pour dégager la peinture après ver­sement, entre la tranche du bec verseur et la tirette.It follows from this arrangement that the traction of the actuating lever puts the helical springs under tension, which induces on the flat spring a torque relative to its fixing point, which increases the bearing force of said front wing on the pull tab. This action therefore accentuates the plating of the zipper on the edge of the spout, this in proportion to the opening of the zipper, and proves to be very effective in releasing the paint after pouring, between the edge of the spout and the zipper.

Selon d'autres caractéristiques avantageuses de l'inven­tion, on peut disposer sur la paroi du couvercle,à l'arrière de l'axe agitateur, une cheminée d'aération dont la partie supérieure plane vient sous la tirette et dans le plan de glis­sement de celle-ci. La tirette est en outre conformée pour fermer ladite cheminée en position de repos et l'ouvrir en position de service, facilitant ainsi le versement de la pein­ture.According to other advantageous features of the invention, there may be placed on the wall of the cover, behind the agitator axis, an air vent, the flat upper part of which comes under the pull tab and in the sliding plane. of it. The pull tab is further shaped to close said chimney in the rest position and open it in the service position, thereby facilitating the pouring of paint.

La tirette peut comprendre une lumière longitudinale mé­diane de largeur égale au diamètre du manchon ou douille de guidage de l'axe agitateur, qui entoure ce dernier et dont l'extrémité extérieure ou arrière vient en butée en position de repos sur la douille, ladite lumière ouvrant la cheminée d'aération en position de service.The pull tab may include a median longitudinal lumen of width equal to the diameter of the sleeve or guide sleeve of the agitator axis, which surrounds the latter and the outer or rear end of which abuts in the rest position on the sleeve, said lumen opening the ventilation chimney in the service position.

Cette ouverture de la cheminée d'aération,lors du versement de la peinture,assure la mise à l'atmosphère de la boîte et par conséquent régularise le débit de versement et autorise une meilleure précision du dosage.This opening of the ventilation chimney, during the pouring of paint, ensures the atmosphere in the box and therefore regulates the flow of pouring and allows better dosing precision.

La tirette peut être reliée au levier d'actionnement par un pli formé à son extrémité, lequel pénêtre dans une lumière prévue à l'angle des deux branches du levier d'actionnement et coopère avec la bordure inférieure de la lumière dudit levier.The pull tab can be connected to the actuation lever by a fold formed at its end, which penetrates into a lumen provided at the corner of the two branches of the actuation lever and cooperates with the lower edge of the lumen of said lever.

La liaison en articulation du levier d'actionnement peut être réalisée par simple appui de l'extrémité de sa branche ascendante sur le fond d'une cavité formée sur le couvercle. Cette cavité a une section en V dont l'une des parois est verticale et forme butée vers l'avant pour la branche ascendante du levier rappelé en position de repos par l'intermédiaire desdits ressorts hélicoïdaux. L'autre paroi est inclinée pour le débattement en rotation du levier d'actionnement.The articulation connection of the actuating lever can be achieved by simple pressing of the end of its ascending branch on the bottom of a cavity formed on the cover. This cavity has a V-shaped section, one of the walls of which is vertical and forms a stop forwards for the ascending branch of the lever returned to the rest position by means of said helical springs. The other wall is inclined for the rotational movement of the actuating lever.

Comme la tirette glisse sous le ressort plat, étant guidée latéralement à l'avant par de petites joues latérales classiques formées le long des bords latéraux du bec verseur et plus à l'arrière par la lumière longitudinale médiane dont les bords latéraux glissent avec faible jeu le long de la douille de l'axe agitateur, tout autre mouvement de débattement de la tirette est empêché . Par conséquent, le levier d'actionnement est parfaitement maintenu en position,tout débattement de ce dernier,autre que la rotation vers l'arrière pour entraîner la tirette,étant empêché.As the zipper slides under the flat spring, being guided laterally at the front by small classic side cheeks formed along the side edges of the spout and more at the rear by the median longitudinal lumen, the side edges of which slide with little play along the sleeve of the agitator axis, any other movement of movement of the pull tab is prevented. Consequently, the actuation lever is perfectly held in position, any movement of the latter, other than rotation towards the rear to drive the pull tab, being prevented.

Il en résulte finalement une très grande simplicité dans le mécanisme et comme le ressort plat est fixé au couvercle par une vis, il suffit simplement de dévisser cette dernière pour démonter la tirette pour son nettoyage par exemple.This ultimately results in great simplicity in the mechanism and as the flat spring is fixed to the cover by a screw, it is sufficient to unscrew the latter to dismantle the pull tab for cleaning, for example.

Diverses autres caractéristiques de l'invention ressor­tent de la description ci-après d'un exemple de réalisation en référence aux dessins annexés sur lesquels:

  • La figure 1 est une vue en coupe partielle d'un couvercle selon l'invention en position de repos;
  • La figure 2 est une vue de dessus de ce couvercle;
  • La figure 3 est une vue en coupe partielle du couvercle en position de service ; et
  • La figure 4 est une vue de dessus du couvercle de la figure 3.
Various other characteristics of the invention emerge from the description below of an exemplary embodiment with reference to the appended drawings in which:
  • Figure 1 is a partial sectional view of a cover according to the invention in the rest position;
  • Figure 2 is a top view of this cover;
  • Figure 3 is a partial sectional view of the cover in the service position; and
  • FIG. 4 is a top view of the cover of FIG. 3.

Avec référence aux figures 1 à 4, le couvercle selon l'invention est destiné à être monté de manière étanche sur une boîte de peinture 1 pour machine d'agitation par l'intermédiaire de dispositifs de blocage à cames classiques 3,qui agissent sur le rebord interne 5 de la boîte. Ce couvercle comprend un agitateur 7 à hélice, d'axe vertical, qui lui est relié par une douille de guidage 9 et qui est entraîné en rotation par le dispositif d'entraînement 11 de la machine d'agitation (par fourche ou par pignons). Le bec verseur 13 émerge en partie latérale extérieure du couvercle et est légèrement réhaussé relativement à la paroi supérieure de ce dernier, de manière à faciliter l'écoulement de la peinture. L'orifice du bec a une section diédrique et la tranche d'ouverture 15 plane reçoit une tirette 17, laquelle est montée coulissante au-dessus. Cette tirette 17 obture le bec 13 en position de repos (figures 1 et 2) et est actionnée en ouverture lors du versement (figures 3 et 4) par l'intermédiaire d'un levier d'actionnement 19 muni d'une gâchette terminale 21, laquelle autorise le prélèvement du couvercle d'une seule main sur la machine d'agitation.With reference to FIGS. 1 to 4, the cover according to the invention is intended to be mounted in leaktight manner on a paint can 1 for a stirring machine by by means of conventional cam locking devices 3, which act on the internal rim 5 of the box. This cover includes a propeller agitator 7, of vertical axis, which is connected to it by a guide sleeve 9 and which is rotated by the drive device 11 of the stirring machine (by fork or by pinions) . The spout 13 emerges in the outer lateral part of the cover and is slightly raised relative to the upper wall of the latter, so as to facilitate the flow of paint. The opening of the spout has a dihedral section and the flat opening edge 15 receives a pull tab 17, which is slidably mounted above. This zipper 17 closes the spout 13 in the rest position (FIGS. 1 and 2) and is actuated in opening during pouring (FIGS. 3 and 4) by means of an actuating lever 19 provided with a terminal trigger 21 , which authorizes the removal of the cover with one hand on the stirring machine.

La tirette 17 est plaquée contre la tranche 15 du bec verseur par un ressort plat 23 fixé au couvercle à sa partie arrière par une vis 25 serrée sur un pontet 27 juste avant l'axe agitateur 7. Le ressort plat 23 comporte des oreilles latérales 29 qui descendent verticalement le long de chacun des bords latéraux de la tirette 17,et une aile avant 31 de section arrondie qui appuie sur la tirette. Deux ressorts hélicoïcaux 33, sensiblement parallèles et disposés sous les bords latéraux de la tirette,sont accrochés, d'une part, aux extrémités inférieures des oreilles 29 et, d'autre part, à des parties découpées 35 à l'arrière de la tirette. Ces ressorts appliquent un effort de rappel sur les oreilles 29, ce qui engendre un couple de torsion sur le ressort plat 23 relativement à son point de fixation. Ce couple de torsion renforce l'appui de l'aile avant 31 sur la tirette 17. La tirette 17 est reliée au levier d'actionnement 19 par un pli arrière descendant 37 formé perpendiculairement à son plan principal. Ce pli 37 pénètre dans une lumière longitudinale 39 formée entre les deux branches de levier 19 et coopère par contact de glissement avec le bord inférieur arrondi 41 de cette lumière. Le levier d'actionnement 19 est articulé au couvercle par simple contact de glissement de son extrémité inférieure 43 de section également arrondie sur le fond d'une cavité 45 de section à forme de V. Cette cavité 45 comporte une première paroi verticale 47, sur laquelle s'appuie en butée la branche ascendante 49 du levier d'actionnement en position de repos, et une seconde paroi inclinée 51 qui auto­rise le débattement en rotation du levier 19. Cette rotation a pour axe l'extrémité 43 du levier 19 qui tourne dans le fond de la cavité 45. Lors de la rotation du levier 19,on tire naturellement la tirette 17 qui glisse sur la tranche 15 du bec verseur et sous le ressort plat 23. Ce faisant, on tend davantage les ressorts hélicoïdaux 33 et le couple de torsion appliqué au ressort plat 23 est augmenté. L'aile avant 31 appuie par conséquent davantage sur la tirette 17. On voit donc que l'on réalise par l'intermédiaire du ressort plat ainsi conçu un placage progressif de la tirette sur sa tranche au fur et à mesure de son ouverture et ceci contribue à dégager efficacement la peinture se trouvant sur la tranche après versement, dès son retour à la fermeture. La tirette comporte en outre une lumière longitudinale médiane 53 de largeur égale au diamètre de la douille 9 de l'axe agitateur et qui entoure cette dernière. Cette lumière 53 est formée de telle sorte que son extrémité arrière 55 arrondie vienne en butée sur la douille 9 de de l'axe agitateur en position de repos, limitant ainsi le mouvement vers l'avant de la tirette 17. Sa longueur est prévueassez grande pour permettre le débattement maximal de la tirette et donc assurer que son extrémité avant soit à distance suffisante du pontet de fixation 27 du ressort plat 23. Cette lumière 53 guide également le mouvement de translation de la tirette 17, en plus des joues latérales 57 classiques du bec verseur, et comme cette dernière glisse sous le ressort plat 23, elle n'a d'autre mouvement possible que celui de la translation dans le plan de la tranche du bec verseur. De même, comme mentionné précédemment, le levier d'actionnement 19 ne peut avoir d'autre mouvement que celui de la rotation pour entraîner la tirette 17. En particulier, étant retenu par le pli arrière 37 de la tirette, il ne peut s'échapper de la cavité 45.The pull tab 17 is pressed against the edge 15 of the pouring spout by a flat spring 23 fixed to the cover at its rear part by a screw 25 tightened on a trigger guard 27 just before the agitator axis 7. The flat spring 23 has lateral ears 29 which descend vertically along each of the lateral edges of the pull tab 17, and a front wing 31 of rounded section which presses on the pull tab. Two helical springs 33, substantially parallel and arranged under the lateral edges of the zipper, are hooked, on the one hand, to the lower ends of the ears 29 and, on the other hand, to cut parts 35 at the rear of the zipper . These springs apply a return force to the ears 29, which generates a torque on the flat spring 23 relative to its point of attachment. This torque increases the support of the front wing 31 on the pull tab 17. The pull tab 17 is connected to the actuation lever 19 by a rear downward fold 37 formed perpendicular to its main plane. This fold 37 enters a longitudinal opening 39 formed between the two lever arms 19 and cooperates by sliding contact with the rounded lower edge 41 of this light. The actuating lever 19 is articulated to the cover by simple sliding contact of its lower end 43 of section also rounded on the bottom of a cavity 45 of V-shaped section. This cavity 45 has a first vertical wall 47, on which bears in abutment the ascending branch 49 of the actuating lever in the rest position, and a second inclined wall 51 which allows the rotational movement of the lever 19. This rotation has as its axis the end 43 of the lever 19 which rotates in the bottom of the cavity 45. When the lever 19 is rotated, the pull tab 17 is naturally pulled which slides on the edge 15 of the pouring spout and under the flat spring 23. In doing so, the helical springs 33 and the torque applied to the flat spring 23 is increased. The front wing 31 therefore presses more on the pull tab 17. It can therefore be seen that, by means of the flat spring thus designed, a progressive plating of the pull tab on its edge is carried out as it is opened and this contributes to effectively clearing the paint on the edge after pouring, as soon as it returns to closure. The pull tab further comprises a median longitudinal lumen 53 of width equal to the diameter of the sleeve 9 of the agitator axis and which surrounds the latter. This lumen 53 is formed so that its rounded rear end 55 comes into abutment on the sleeve 9 of the agitator axis in the rest position, thus limiting the forward movement of the pull tab 17. Its length is expected to be fairly large. to allow the maximum clearance of the zipper and therefore ensure that its front end is at a sufficient distance from the fixing bridge 27 of the flat spring 23. This light 53 also guides the translational movement of the zipper 17, in addition to the conventional side cheeks 57 of the spout, and as the latter slides under the flat spring 23, it has no other possible movement than that of the translation in the plane of the edge of the spout. Similarly, as mentioned previously, the actuating lever 19 cannot have any other movement than that of rotation to drive the pull tab 17. In particular, being retained by the rear fold 37 of the pull tab, it cannot escape from the cavity 45.

Par ailleurs, le démontage de la tirette est très aisé. Il suffit de devisser la vis de fixation 25 du ressort plat pour démonter la tirette lorsque son nettoyage s'im­pose à la longue.Furthermore, disassembly of the pull tab is very easy. Just unscrew the fixing screw 25 of the flat spring to disassemble the pull tab when cleaning is required in the long run.

On notera également que le couvercle comporte une cheminée d'aération 59 à l'arrière de l'axe agitateur,qui est fermée par la tirette en position de repos, isolant ainsi le contenu de la boîte, et qui est ouverte par la lumière 53 de la tirette en position de service (figure 4). Cette cheminée 59,relativement éloignée du bec verseur,facilite l'entrée d'air en service et,par conséquent,régularise le débit de versement de la peinture.It will also be noted that the cover has an aeration chimney 59 at the rear of the agitator axis, which is closed by the zipper in the rest position, thus isolating the contents of the box, and which is opened by the light 53 of the pull tab in the service position (Figure 4). This chimney 59, relatively distant from the pouring spout, facilitates the entry of air in service and, consequently, regulates the pouring rate of the paint.

En outre, le couvercle est issu de moulage en matière plastique et la tirette est en acier. Un surcroît de rigidité de la structure est avantageusement apporté dans la partie centrale pour le soutien de l'axe d'agitateur et du point de fixation du ressort plat. Ceci est obtenu en regroupant le pontet de fixation 27 du ressort plat et la cheminée d'aération 59 autour de la douille centrale 9 recevant l'axe d'agitation. Cette douille,éventuellement interchangeable,en polyéthylène de haute densité,empêche le collage de la peinture sur la tige d'agitateur. De même, le collage de la peinture au niveau de la tirette pourra être empêché en la revêtant d'un traitement anti-adhérent, par exemple en polytétrafluoréthylène qui améliore aussi l'étanchéité de fermeture de la tirette sur le bec verseur.In addition, the cover is made from plastic molding and the pull tab is made of steel. An additional rigidity of the structure is advantageously provided in the central part to support the agitator axis and the fixing point of the flat spring. This is obtained by grouping the fixing bridge 27 of the flat spring and the ventilation chimney 59 around the central sleeve 9 receiving the stirring axis. This socket, possibly interchangeable, made of high density polyethylene, prevents the paint from sticking to the stirrer rod. Likewise, the sticking of the paint at the level of the zipper can be prevented by coating it with an anti-adhesive treatment, for example in polytetrafluoroethylene which also improves the sealing of closure of the zipper on the spout.

L'invention n'est naturellement pas limitée à l'exemple de réalisation décrit ci-dessus et diverses modifications peuvent y être apportées sans sortir de son cadre.The invention is naturally not limited to the embodiment described above and various modifications can be made thereto without departing from its scope.
