Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a receptacle for brushes and possibly thinner, detachably associated with a box of product to be applied.
  • Most boxes of product to apply (paint type) do not have a reservoir to hold a brush and when you stop painting momentarily, it is customary to place it on top, in unstable equilibrium with possible paint grout. They also do not have a diluent reservoir for soaking the brush (es) to prevent them from drying out during a prolonged cessation of application of the product.
  • patent US4353476A uses an envelope adhesive attached to the outside of the boxes, fitted a pocket to receive the brush. The question arises on the strength of the adhesive during successive uses (with the risk of drying it during temperatures high ambient) as well as the removability of this envelope.
  • Patents GB2231550A, W09302871A and FR2693885A propose as for them, trays supported for their fixing on the inside edge of boxes.
  • the subject of the invention is a device intended to hold at least one brush of flat or round shape on a metal box of ferrous type of product to be applied, of the type consisting of receptacle formed of a container shaped to receive at least one flat brush or a round brush of corresponding depth substantially at the maximum length of the bristles including the crimping ring and possibly containing in its bottom of the thinner and holding means on the box product to be applied, according to the invention these means are made up of a magnetic support defining an area fixed support center magnetic or not and on both sides therefrom two flexible magnetic lateral zones suitable for follow the possible curvature of the product box and made up of a plurality of individual elements strong magnetism joined together in juxtaposition and / or superposition by connecting means defining areas of relative displacement between individual magnetic elements.
  • the individual magnetic elements consist either of fragments of natural or synthetic elastomer sheet such as for example rubber, plastic, magnetic silicone or of rigid elements of ferrite type.
  • the individual elements are joined together in juxtaposition by flexible magnetic bonding means or not defining interval zones between elements individual magnets connecting the elements edge to edge.
  • These elements can be elongated in the form of strips of natural or synthetic elastomer such as by example rubber, plastic, magnetic silicone or ferrite bars arranged vertically with respect to the tank arranged parallel to each other so as to be position parallel to the axis of the curved surface metallic of the box.
  • natural or synthetic elastomer such as by example rubber, plastic, magnetic silicone or ferrite bars arranged vertically with respect to the tank arranged parallel to each other so as to be position parallel to the axis of the curved surface metallic of the box.
  • These individual elements can be a set of natural or synthetic elastomer tablets such as by example rubber, plastic, magnetic silicone or ferrite arranged aligned in a square mesh or staggered.
  • the flexible connection structure consists of a sheet flexible or of an openwork structure on which are joined the individual magnetic elements by being either attached or wrapped or molded so monobloc on said sheet.
  • the magnetic support may consist of a structure of flexible bond in the form of a strip or canvas on which a sheet of natural or synthetic elastomer is added such as for example rubber, plastic, silicone magnetic of strong magnetization in which are then machined zones of intervals of depth corresponding to the thickness of the magnetic sheet so as to define between these zones of intervals of the bands constituting the elements individual magnetic.
  • a sheet of natural or synthetic elastomer such as for example rubber, plastic, silicone magnetic of strong magnetization in which are then machined zones of intervals of depth corresponding to the thickness of the magnetic sheet so as to define between these zones of intervals of the bands constituting the elements individual magnetic.
  • the individual elements can be formed flexible sheets of magnetic material superimposed on top of each other and joined together in solid central part along a substantially vertical line of so that the overlapping sheets located in zones lateral to said central connection area are connected between them by magnetic adhesion while being free from ability to move slightly by sliding compared to others when they are formatted at the curve of the box.
  • the individual magnetic elements can be combined in juxtaposition and superposition and consisting of magnetic filings placed in an envelope flexible thin walled double wall, or subdivided into several compartments including the junction constitute the intervals, either in the form of at minus one compartment in which the filings are kept apart or distributed by holding means flexible such as silicone, fluent material or structure alveolar defining zones of intervals.
  • the tray is of the flared type grouping in the same volume two recesses, one intended for a flat brush, the other central intended for a round brush and comprising a rear strip inclined inwards and having a rear border slightly in withdrawal from the plane of the support face of the central fixed part of the magnetic support so as to avoid any flow of the product to be applied between said support face and the outer wall of the box and to protect the magnetic product support corrosive.
  • the front face of the tank is rounded and provided on all its length of an upper border projecting inwards of the pan to form a drainer and provided in its part median of a concave zone intended to hold in position the base of the handle of a round brush.
  • the container may also have internally on its front face and symmetrically to the concavity axis of the border two vertical ribs approaching towards the bottom intended for the reinforcement of the tank and for the draining of the brushes.
  • the magnetic support shown in the following figures is equipped with elongated strips of magnetic rubber or silicone or vertical and parallel ferrite bars.
  • Figure 1 is a perspective view of the receptacle with the respective location of the flat and round brush, fixed on a rounded wall of product box.
  • Figure 2 is a front view of the receptacle (with section total of the rear panel), fixed on a straight wall of box.
  • Figure 3 is a top view of the receptacle (with section partial rear panel), fixed on a rounded wall of box.
  • Figure 4 is a sectional view along AA of the receptacle fixed on a rounded box wall.
  • the brush tray (1) is made of plastic or derivatives, rigid whose walls (1a), (1b), (1c), (1i), (1j), delimit with a bottom (1d) a compartment (1e) of depth corresponding substantially to the maximum length bristles including the crimp ring of a flat brush or round and possibly containing thinner.
  • the two types of brushes are supported by their bristles on the bottom (1d).
  • the base of the flat brush fits in space between (1c), (1b), (1d) and that of the round brush in the concave space of the border (1i) and the rear face (1 C).
  • This bin has, without limitation, a rounded envelope on its front face (la), and its two sides (1b), one face rear (1c) and a bottom (1d). Its vertical shape is conical and its flared opening (1p), inclined forming an angle x by horizontal to facilitate the introduction and brush removal.
  • the magnetic support shown in the following figures is consisting of two flexible magnetic side parts independent. Each part is connected to the tank by one side and hinged mounted in a corner at the back of the tank.
  • Figure 5a shows a perspective view of the receptacle.
  • Figure 5b shows a top view of the fixed receptacle on a round box.
  • Figure 5c shows a top view of the fixed receptacle on a straight box.
  • the two flexible magnetic side parts (2) are made for example of rubber or silicone bands magnetic with strong magnetization or ferrite bars (2f) separated by a small interval (2i) rows vertically with respect to the tank and arranged parallel the from each other so as to be positioned parallel to the axis of the metallic curved surface of the box. These bands are assembled on a flexible sheet of rubber magnetic or not, or synthetic material (2a).
  • Each flexible magnetic side part (2) is mounted articulated by one side on each rear end of the tank, for example by snapping into a vertical groove rear corner of the tank (2k) allowing it to adapt to different round box diameters (3) or straight (4).
  • FIGS. 2, 3 and 4 Five embodiments of the MAGNETIC SUPPORT using individual magnetic elements assembled in juxtaposition will be described below: A description of a first embodiment of the flexible magnetic support will be made with reference to FIGS. 2, 3 and 4 showing all of the magnetic parallel strips of strong magnetization or of ferrite bars supported by a flexible sheet.
  • the flexible magnetic support thus formed can be either removably attached to the container by means or either secured by gluing either monobloc by the opposite face of the flexible sheet (2a) vertically in the middle in the direction of the bands on the concave rear face (1g) of the shoulder (1f) of the tank thus defining a fixed central magnetic area (2g) and two other flexible lateral magnetic zones (2b) equally distributed on both sides of it allowing distribute and move anchor points away from the bin magnetic more resistant to takeoff of the support when exerts an effort on the tank due to the fact that no action is taken directly on them.
  • the fixed central magnetic area (2g) here represents a surface substantially corresponding to that of three rows of bands. These can follow the shape of the face concave (1g) of the shoulder and present a surface perfectly matching the rounded shape of the wall of the most circular boxes of products to apply currents (3). In this case, for straight boxes (4), the distance (2m) of the central strip from the wall represents a negligible loss of attraction compared to that of all bands.
  • the bands making part of the two flexible lateral zones (2b) can be move towards or away from each other by the intervals (2i) separating them by articulating freely by through the flexible sheet (2a) for marrying perfectly the different diameters of shaped boxes round or straight.
  • the flexible sheet (2a) makes it integral all of the bands and allows them to be articulated so that these always present their support face to the metal box perpendicular to the radius of the curve so to obtain an optimum orientation of the lines of force magnetic for maximum magnetization.
  • the intervals (2i) must be sufficiently small (for example from 0.5 to 1.5mm) to avoid loss of magnetization too large but sufficient to allow support magnetic to adapt to small diameter boxes.
  • intervals can be constant or increasing or decreasing from the center of the central area towards outside.

  • Figures 6a, 6b, 6c show in section along aa, bb, cc pellets of different sections.
  • the individual magnetic elements consist of natural or synthetic elastomer tablets such as by example rubber, plastic, magnetic silicone or ferrite arranged aligned in a square mesh or staggered and reported either on a full flexible sheet magnetic or not or on an openwork structure (14).
  • these pellets can be of section cylindrical (10), frustoconical (11), or polygonal (12).
  • Figures 7a, 7b, 7c, 7d show in section along aa, bb, cc, dd strips of natural or synthetic elastomer such as for example rubber, plastic, silicone magnetic or ferrite bars of different sections.
  • All the magnetic fragments and the structure flexible are monoblocks, made by coating with zones thick corresponding to magnetic fragments (from 15 to 18) and thin zones (20,21) ensuring the flexible connection.
