Definitions

  • the invention relates to a spray can with a can body for receiving the Spray material, with the can body being assigned a spray device for the spray material and a cover to protect the spray device.
  • Spray cans of the type mentioned above have long been known in practice and exist in a wide variety of embodiments.
  • the Can body mostly designed cylindrical, with the spray device on one of the base surfaces of the cylinder is arranged.
  • the spray device is mostly formed by a spray head with a spray valve.
  • the lid is common also essentially cylindrical, with a base of the Cylinder is omitted to attach to the can body in the area of the spray device to dock.
  • Spray cans of the type mentioned are often used to spray colored paints used.
  • lacquer is often either the lid corresponding to the recorded Paint color completely colored or part of the can body accordingly painted. This is for example when buying the spray can The color of the paint in the can body can be reliably determined.
  • the present invention is therefore based on the object of a spray can to design and further develop the type mentioned at the outset such that a Simplified production with reduced costs with structurally simple means is reached.
  • Spray can with the Features of claim 1 solved.
  • Spray can designed such that the can body or the lid Color detection element is assigned to display the color of the spray material.
  • the color detection element could be sprayed with the Be sprayed or painted. This is the original color of the spray material applied to the color recognition element.
  • the color recognition element is arranged in the area of the The lid could essentially spray at least in some areas be transparent. As a result, even with the lid and closed thus the color detection element covered by the lid, the identification of the Color of the spray material possible by looking through the lid.
  • the color recognition element could be the can body be reversibly assigned. This enables the color recognition element in the event of an inadvertently incorrect assignment to the can body are removed again and a correct color recognition element is assigned can be. Furthermore, with regard to recycling the spray can after use, a separation of the components of the spray can - in this If the color recognition element is separated from the can body - possible. If the color detection element is made of a different material than that Can body is made, can be a material-specific disposal or Components can be reused. Alternatively, the color recognition element could assigned essentially irreversibly to the can body his. This would be a particularly reliable assignment of the color recognition element realized to the can body.
  • the color recognition element could be designed as a ring. On such a ring could for example be arranged around the spray device what enable color recognition from virtually all directions could.
  • the ring could be open or closed as needed be, an open ring is usually easier to remove from the can body.
  • the color recognition element could be ring-like outer shell of a hollow spherical layer or a hollow truncated cone each with an upper smaller and a lower larger passage be trained.
  • Such an outer jacket could be the can body assigned or arranged on the can body such that the Spray device protrudes from the upper, smaller passage. With in other words, the sprayer would be from the outer jacket in this case surround.
  • Such an outer jacket has a relatively large color recognition area on what simplifies color detection overall.
  • Such an outer jacket has a predeterminable material thickness, which on the is to be stopped in the respective application. Especially with one that is not too thick Design of the outer jacket, the outer jacket could have a certain elasticity exhibit. This is particularly suitable as a material for the outer material a plastic. Due to an existing elasticity, the Outer jacket with areas of the can body a mutual clamping effect provide that for a safe assignment of the color recognition element contributes to the can body. In other words, it is an unintended one Mostly detach the color recognition element from the can body avoided.
  • Spray cans for paints or varnishes usually have a sealing fold, which ultimately is ring-shaped directly around the spray device. This will achieved a seal between the can body and the spray device, which is usually attached to the can body as a separate element. Furthermore a conventional spray can can have a further fold or sealing fold, which is formed in the upper area of the can body and ultimately also as Reinforcement serves.
  • a particularly simple assignment of the Outer jacket to the can body could be the inner edge of the top Passage of the outer jacket - widening inwards - beveled. When the outer casing is assigned to the can body, the outer casing slips due to the bevel, it is easier to use the ring-like sealing fold between spraying device and can body.
  • Outer jacket to or on the can body could be the outer jacket in the area the outer edge of the lower passage - to the lower passage or to towards its free end - be tapered.
  • the inner diameter could the upper passage may be slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the annular sealing fold formed around the spraying device of the can body.
  • the sealing fold For arranging the outer jacket around the sealing fold or a certain force must be applied along the sealing fold, which is the upper one Passage slightly elastically stretches to ensure a secure fit on the sealing rebate or a secure fit below the sealing fold after taking the original one to reach the unstretched condition of the upper passage. in the in the latter case, the sealing fold would have an area with a smaller outside diameter exhibit.
  • the outer sheath could be guided along the sealing fold as far until the outer sheath is quasi lower in an area below the sealing rebate Diameter arrives.
  • the outer jacket could be the outer edge of the lower passage preferably positively on the inner circumference of the upper area ring-shaped sealing fold formed of the can body. This sealing fold forms a connection between a side surface and an upper base of the can body.
  • the outer diameter of the outer jacket could be in the area of the lower one Passage may be slightly larger than the inside diameter of the one in the top Area of the can body formed, ring-like fold or sealing fold of the Can body. This could in turn cause a clamping effect due to Elasticity of the outer jacket in the area of the fold or sealing fold achieved become. This would have a particularly secure arrangement of the outer jacket on Can body result.
  • the outer jacket could ultimately move from the sealing fold to the spray device extend to the fold or sealing fold in the upper area of the box body.
  • the outer sheath could be substantially different from the top passage have through slot extending to the lower passage. This could simply compress or expand the outer jacket to allow removal from the can body.
  • the color recognition element could also be assigned to the cover. It is in addition to a preferably reversible assignment of the color recognition element to the lid also a preferably reversible arrangement of the concrete Color detection element in the lid conceivable.
  • the color recognition element could also be irreversibly assigned to the lid or arranged in the lid his.
  • the lid could have at least one recess for the color recognition element exhibit. This could cause the color detection element to latch in the Recess are made possible.
  • the cover could have at least one support web for support have the can body.
  • a support web limits the positioning process the lid on the can body until the can body stops on the jetty.
  • the recess or recess could be in be formed on the support web or in the support webs. Such Recess could be done easily by interrupting the support web be realized.
  • the recess could be a complete passage in the lid. hereby material could be saved in the manufacture of the cover. It could the size of the passage so the size of the color recognition element be coordinated that the color recognition element the passage in the The cover, when assembled, is essentially completely closed.
  • the Color detection element could be quasi complementary to the lid be trained to complete only when assembled Form lid.
  • the lid could be made elastic. there the lid could in particular be made of plastic.
  • the color detection element could be a predetermined breaking point exhibit. After creating the specified fraction, this could Color detection element then simply detached from the can body or lid become.
  • the lid or the can body Have engagement passage or an engagement recess.
  • the intervention passage or the engagement recess could be dimensioned in such a way that the color recognition element either with the hand or a finger or graspable with a special instrument and from the can body or Lid would be detachable.
  • spray can also includes all known spray cans or Includes aerosol cans.
  • Fig. 1 shows a schematic side view of the embodiment of a Spray can according to the invention.
  • the spray can has a can body 1 Picking up the sprayed material, with the can body 1 having a spray device 2 is assigned for the spray material.
  • the spray can also has a lid 3 to protect the spray device 2.
  • the spray can is designed in such a way that the can body 1 or the lid 3 a color recognition element 4 for display is assigned to the color of the spray material.
  • the color detection element 4 is at least in its outer area with the Sprayed material is lacquered, so that ultimately it is on the color recognition element 4 the same spray material or the same paint is in the can body 1.
  • the Cover 3 is transparent so that the color recognition element 4 also is visible from the outside when the lid 3 is closed.
  • the color recognition element 4 is reversibly assigned to the can body 1.
  • the Color detection element 4 is ultimately designed as a closed ring, the color detection element 4 more specifically as a ring-like outer jacket 5 a hollow spherical layer, each with an upper smaller and a lower one larger passage 6 and 7 is formed. In other words, it is Color detection element 4 formed like a shell.
  • the outer jacket 5 is made of plastic, so that a simple Arranging the outer jacket 5 on the can body 1 is made possible.
  • the inner one Edge 8 of the upper passage 6 is beveled inward widening.
  • the outer jacket 5 is in the region of the outer edge 9 of the lower one Passage 7 tapered. This has the advantage that the Outer jacket 5 easier on a sealing fold 10 and on a sealing fold 11 of the Can body slide along when the outer jacket 5 on the can body 1 is put on.
  • the sealing fold 10 forms the transition from the upper part of the Can body 1 to the spray device 2.
  • the sealing fold 11 forms the transition from the cylindrical shell of the can body 1 is often conical trained upper part of the can body 1.
  • the inner diameter of the upper passage 6 is slightly smaller than that Outer diameter of the ring-like sealing fold 10. That means that the outer jacket 5 after its arrangement on the box body 1, so to speak, below the sealing fold 10 is engaged in a narrowed area below the sealing fold 10.
  • the outer casing 5 lies with the outer edge 9 of the lower passage 7 in a quasi-positive manner on the inner circumference of the sealing fold 11 of the can body.
  • the outer diameter of the outer casing 5 in the region of the lower passage 7 could be made slightly larger than the inner diameter of the sealing fold 11. This would virtually allow the outer casing 5 to nestle against the inner periphery of the sealing fold 11.
  • the outer jacket 5 extends essentially from the upper sealing fold 10 to the lower sealing fold 11.
  • the cover 3 has recesses 12 for a color recognition element 4. in this respect a color recognition element 4 could also be assigned to the cover 3 become.
  • a color recognition element 4 could also be assigned to the cover 3 become.
  • the recesses 12 in the support webs 13 of the Cover 3 formed, which serve to rest on the can body 1.
  • the lid 3 is also elastic and made of plastic.
