Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for handling a can which contains paint or a similar material during painting or the like activities.
  • Paint or a similar material, such as stain, for example is generally supplied in standard size cans, for example one-litre cans, half-litre cans and quarter-litre cans.
  • the can is usually held with one hand, which engages the outer circumference of the can.
  • it is generally impossible to avoid paint dripping down the outer circumference of the can, for example as a result of the brush being wiped off along the upper edge of the can of paint. This phenomenon has several drawbacks.
  • the object of the invention is to avoid the drawbacks of the above-described method of handling a can containing paint or a similar material, which been usual for dozens of years.
  • the can in order to accomplish that objective, is placed into a hand-held holder, which holder comprises a closed bottom and at least one upright edge joining said bottom.
  • any paint that may drip down the outer circumference of the can of paint can be caught on said bottom, the underside of which will remain clean, so that the holder with the can present therein can be placed on a surface without there being a risk of said surface being soiled.
  • a holder may be fitted, in a simple manner, with suitable means by which the holder and the can that is present therein can be held firmly.
  • a holder intended for receiving a can containing paint or a similar material which is in particular suitable for carrying out such a method is characterized in that said holder comprises a closed bottom, an upright edge joining said bottom and a handle.
  • the holder and a can that is present can be held firmly without difficulty, whilst the hand that holds said holder will not be soiled.
  • the holder comprises a few flexible ears, which are connected to parts of the holder that extend upwards from said bottom, in such a manner that, in use, the free ends of the ears remote from said upwardly extending parts of the holder will engage the outer circumference of a can that is present in said holder.
  • the can will be secured against movement with respect to the holder during use of the holder, which will make it easier to handle a holder/can combination, the more so because the can be positioned centrally in the holder by means of said ears.
  • Figure 1 shows a first embodiment of a holder according to the invention.
  • Figure 2 shows a second embodiment of a holder according to the invention.
  • Figure 3 shows a third embodiment of a holder according to the invention.
  • the holder 1 that is shown in Figure 1 comprises a bottom 2 and a wall 3 joining the outer circumference of said bottom and extending upwards therefrom.
  • a handle 4 is attached to wall 3.
  • a usual standard paint can 5, which is conventionally provided with a removable cover 6, can be placed into said holder.
  • paint or a similar material is generally supplied in a standard size can, for example a one-litre, half-litre or quarter-litre can.
  • the dimensions of the holders will preferably be adapted to the dimensions of the standard paint cans, wherein the holder is so designed that, as is also shown in Figure 4, the configuration of the upright wall 3 is adapted to conform to the configuration of can 5, whereby the internal diameter of the holder is slightly larger than the external diameter of the can.
  • the height of the holder wall 3 is preferably slightly smaller than the height of can 5, so that the upper part of can 5 rises above holder wall 3.
  • openings 7 may be formed in the holder wall so as to reduce the weight of the holder as well as the amount of material that is required for producing the holder.
  • the can When a painting job is to be carried out, the can will be placed into the holder in the manner that is shown in Figure 1, so that the can and the holder can be carried together by taking hold of the handle 4 of the holder. During painting or the like, any paint that may drip down the outer wall of the can 5 will be caught on bottom 2. Since a circumferential, closed, upright edge formed by the bottom portion of holder wall 3 joins bottom 2, any paint that has been caught on said bottom is prevented from dripping off said bottom. The underside of bottom 2 cannot be soiled by paint thereby.
  • holder 1 comprises a strong handle 4, it will furthermore be easy to hold the holder/can combination firmly, also in those cases where the person who uses the holder/can combination has comparatively small hands.
  • the holder that is shown in Figure 2 comprises a bottom 8, which has an upright edge 9.
  • uprights 10 - 13 which extend upwards from the bottom, join said bottom.
  • said uprights 10 - 13 are interconnected by a circumferential ring 14, whose outer circumferential edge is positioned at a higher level than the inner circumferential edge.
  • Said sloping configuration of ring 14 makes it easier to insert a can into the holder.
  • Bottom 8 and circumferential edge 14 are furthermore connected by a handle 15, which extends outside the bottom, seen in top plan view of bottom 8 of the holder.
  • Strip-shaped ears 16 are attached to said uprights with their longitudinal edges, in such a manner that said ears extend from the uprights in question into the interior of the holder, that is, over bottom 8, seen in top plan view of the bottom.
  • the upper boundary edges 17 of ears 16 slope down from the point where they join the respective uprights so as to facilitate the insertion of a can into the holder.
  • an ear 16 preferably includes a small angle with a radially extending line which extends through the centre of bottom 8 and the point where the ear in question joins the associated upright. Consequently, the flexible ears can readily move out slightly upon insertion of a can into the holder and move into contact with the outer circumference of the can with their free longitudinal edges, thereby securing the can against movement within the holder and retaining it in an at least substantially central position in the holder.
  • projections 18 are preferably disposed on the bottom 8 of the holder, on which the bottom of a can present in the holder will be supported.
  • the use of such projections 18 ensures that the bottom of the can will remain spaced from the bottom 8 of the holder by some distance, so that paint which may drip down the outer circumference of the can and which is caught on bottom 8 cannot soil the bottom of the can.
  • a closed wall 19 which extends upwards from bottom 8, joins the bottom 8 of the holder, which wall is provided with a circumferential ring 20 at its upper end, whose outer circumferential edge is positioned at a higher level than the inner circumferential edge that joins wall 19, so that edge 20 is slightly conical, which facilitates the insertion of a can into the holder.
  • a handle 21 is fixed to wall 19.
  • a few spaced-apart, flexible ears 22 are furthermore fixed to the inner side of wall 19, which ears are similar to ears 16, and which likewise function to centre a can that is inserted into the holder and to secure said can against movement within the holder.
