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 be applied (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.
  • 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 fixed central magnetic zone (2g) here represents a surface corresponding substantially to that of three rows of strips. These can follow the shape of the concave face (1g) of the shoulder and have a surface that perfectly matches the rounded shape of the wall of most circular boxes of common products to be applied (3). In this case, for boxes of straight shape (4), the distance (2m) of the central strip relative to the wall represents a negligible loss of attractive force compared to that of all the strips.
  • the bands forming part of the two flexible lateral zones (2b) can approach or move away from one another by the intervals (2i) separating them by being articulated freely via the flexible sheet (2a) to perfectly match the different diameters of boxes of round or straight shape.
  • the flexible sheet (2a) makes all the bands integral and allows them to be articulated so that they always have their bearing face to the metal box perpendicular to the radius of the curve in order to obtain an optimum orientation of the lines of magnetic force for maximum magnetization.
  • the intervals (2i) must be small enough (for example from 0.5 to 1.5mm) to avoid too great a loss of magnetization but sufficient to allow the magnetic support to adapt to small diameter boxes. These intervals can be constant or increasing or decreasing from the center of the central zone to the outside. To ensure good stability of the box / tray / brushes assembly, it is preferable to position the tray at the bottom of the box so that the outside face of its bottom (1d) is in contact with the support plane (5) from the box (3).
  • FIG. 6 representing pellets aligned in a square mesh or in staggered rows.
  • Figures 6a, 6b, 6c show in section along aa, bb, cc the pellets of different sections.
  • the individual magnetic elements consist of pellets of natural or synthetic elastomer such as for example rubber, plastic, magnetic silicone or ferrite arranged aligned in a square mesh or in staggered rows and reported either on a flexible full magnetic sheet or not or on a openwork structure (14). As illustrated, these pellets can be of cylindrical (10), frustoconical (11), or polygonal (12) section.
  • FIG. 7 representing the individual magnetic elements connected to the flexible structure by coating.
  • Figures 7a, 7b, 7c, 7d show in section along aa, bb, cc, dd the bands of natural or synthetic elastomer such as for example rubber, plastic, magnetic silicone or ferrite bars of different sections.
  • All of the magnetic fragments and the flexible structure are in one piece, made by coating with thick zones corresponding to the magnetic fragments (from 15 to 18) and thin zones (20, 21) ensuring the flexible connection. These thin zones being situated relative to the thickness of the thickest zones either on the external surface (20) or in the internal part (21), in particular the central part, as illustrated according to FIGS.
  • FIG. 8 representing the individual magnetic elements connected to the flexible structure by molding.
  • Figures 8a, 8b, 8c, 8d show in section along aa, bb, cc, dd the magnetic elements of different sections. All the magnetic fragments and the flexible structure are obtained by molding in a single piece, produced by the extrusion or co-extrusion process by alternately introducing into the molten elastomer appropriate metal particles in the thick areas ( from 25 to 28) and not in the intervals constituting the thin zones (20,21) ensuring the flexible connection. Then the whole can be magnetized. As in the embodiment by coating, the thin zones can be located with respect to the thickness of the thickest zones either on the external surface (20) or in the internal part (21), in particular central, as illustrated in FIGS. 8f and 8g.
  • FIGS. 9a and 9b show the flexible structure in the form of a strip or of canvas assembled by one face to a magnetic sheet of strong magnetization in which the intervallles.
  • a sheet of natural or synthetic elastomer such as rubber, plastic, magnetic silicone with strong magnetization (2f) in which the interval zones (2i) are machined is assembled by bonding to the flexible structure (2a), for example. depth corresponding to the thickness of the magnetic sheet.
  • An embodiment of the MAGNETIC SUPPORT using individual magnetic elements assembled in superposition will be described below with reference to FIG. 10 showing flexible magnetic sheets assembled in superposition.
  • the individual magnetic elements (2f) consist of flexible sheets of natural or synthetic elastomer such as for example rubber, plastic, magnetic silicone assembled in superposition on one another and joined together vertically in their center thus defining a zone fixed magnetic or non-magnetic central support (2g) and on either side of it two flexible magnetic lateral zones (2b).
  • the flexible sheets of the two zones (2b) adhere to each other magnetically and are capable of conforming to the curvature of the box by generating slight relative displacements between them due to the small air gap existing between each of them.
  • the sheets whose outer edges are free can be offset, the furthest from the central part being that which is in direct contact with the box, the others overlapping each other.
  • FIGS. 11a and 11b representing magnetic metal filings enclosed in a flexible envelope (31).
  • the individual magnetic elements (2f) are joined together in juxtaposition and superposition and consist of suitable magnetized metal filings (30) arranged in a flexible thin envelope (31) with double wall (32) closed, or subdivided into several compartments (34) (35), the junction zones (36) of which constitute the intervals, either in the form of at least one compartment (33) in which the filament strands are kept spaced apart or distributed by flexible holding means (37) such as silicone, fluent material or cellular structure defining zones of intervals.
