Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a brush storage tool, and particularly to a brush storage tool suitable for storing brushes used in brush painting.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, brush painting has been widely used as a painting method because of its simplicity. A brush used in brush painting generally consists of a handle for the operator to hold and bristles for impregnating the paint.

Therefore, after finishing the brush painting, it is necessary to remove the paint adhering to the brush (particularly its bristles) by washing with thinner. That is, if this cleaning is not carried out, the remaining paint will harden, impairing the function of the brush.

However, the paint cannot be sufficiently removed by thinner cleaning for a short time, and thorough cleaning for a long time is time-consuming. Therefore, a method is used in which the paint is dissolved into the thinner over a long period of time without much effort by immersing the brush in thinner while the brush is being stored.

Conventionally, a brush storage device as shown in FIG. 8 has been used to carry out such a method. FIG. 8 is a schematic vertical cross-sectional view showing the state of use of a conventional brush storage tool. In FIG. 8, 22 is a container body, and 24 is a lid that can seal the upper opening of the container body. Thinner 26 is stored inside the container body 22. Reference numeral 28 denotes a brush, and the bristles 28b and the lower part of the handle 28a are dipped in thinner, and the brush is placed against the inner wall of the container body 22.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

However, in conventional brush storage tools, as shown in FIG. 8, the brushes are stored in an upright position within the container body, so the weight of the brushes is always on the bristles. It turns out. Thus, after being stored for a long time, the bristles become deformed and bent, resulting in so-called curls.

When a brush with such curls is used again, its painting workability deteriorates, and in extreme cases, it may no longer function as a brush.

[Means for solving problems]

According to the present invention, in order to solve the problems of the prior art as described above, an end receiving means of a rod-shaped body for hanging a brush is supported on the inner wall of a sealable container having a solvent reservoir in the lower part thereof. A brush characterized in that at least one pair of supporting means is provided, the supporting means detachably supports the end receiving means, and each pair of supporting means receives both ends of the rod-shaped body. Storage equipment will be provided.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, specific embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a transparent perspective view showing a first embodiment of the device of the present invention in use.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 2 denotes a container body, which has a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape and has an opening at the top. 4 is a lid that can seal the opening, and is of course removable. The lower part of the interior of the container body 2 serves as a solvent (thinner) reservoir, in which thinner 6 is stored.

The material for the container body 2 and the lid 4 is preferably steel or stainless steel, but the material is not particularly limited thereto, and any material can be used as long as it has resistance to thinner. Furthermore, the thinner 6 may be a ketone-based, ester-based, ether-alcohol-based, aromatic-based, aliphatic-based, alcohol-based organic solvent, etc. alone or in combination, or a thinner that is painted with a brush stored in the storage tool. True solvents for paints can be used.

A pair of support members 8 and 10 are fixed to opposing inner walls of the container body 2. The support member 8 includes two plate-like bodies 8-1 and 8-2 extending in parallel in the vertical direction.
Consisting of Similarly, the support member 10 consists of two plate-shaped bodies 10-1 and 10-2 extending in parallel in the vertical direction. In the support member 8, the plate-shaped bodies 8-1, 8.
Pairs of locking portions (notches) are formed in four stages on the opposing side edges of the portion 2. The same holds true for the support member 10, in which four pairs of locking portions are formed. These supporting member plates 8-1, 8-2, 10-1, 10-2 are made of steel or stainless steel, for example, and are firmly fixed to the container body 2 by riveting or the like.

The uppermost locking part of the plate-shaped body 8-1 and the plate-shaped body 8-2
A V-shaped receiving means 12 is supported between the uppermost locking portion and the uppermost locking portion. Similarly,
The uppermost locking part of the plate-shaped body 10-1 and the plate-shaped body 10-
A V-shaped receiving means 14 is also supported between the uppermost locking part 2 and the uppermost locking part 2. Each of these receiving means 12, 14 has hooks formed at both ends thereof, which can be engaged with the engagement portions of the plate-like body, and are supported by being engaged with the engagement portions of the plate-like body.

A rod-shaped body 16 made of steel or the like is inserted between the receiving means 12 and 14. That is, both ends of the rod-shaped body are placed and received on the lowermost ends of the receiving means 12, 14. The rod-like body 16 is inserted through a hanging hole in the handle 18a of the brush 18, so that the brush 18 is suspended. Bristle portion 18 of the brush 18
b is immersed in the thinner 6, but is not in contact with the bottom surface of the container body 2.

FIG. 2 is an enlarged view for explaining how the receiving means 12 is attached to the support member 8.

As shown in FIG. 2, in the support member 8, portions 8a, 8b, 8c, and 8d including the pair of locking portions of the plate-shaped bodies 8-1 and 8-2 are respectively referred to in the present invention. constitutes a support means for. Support member 1
The same applies to 0.

The receiving means 12 is made of a material having appropriate spring properties, and when attached to the supporting member 8, the receiving means 12 is compressed horizontally inward at both ends, and the hooks at both ends are attached to the supporting member 8a. It is locked in the locking part that constitutes the.

In this way, the receiving means 12 exhibits spring properties and is always supported with force applied to the locking portions of the plate-shaped bodies 8-1 and 8-2, so that it will not fall off with a slight external force. There is no. In addition, when the receiving means 12 is to be locked to the locking part that constitutes the supporting means 8b,
Both ends of the receiving means 12 may be further compressed inward (indicated by dotted lines in FIG. 2) and moved downward. Furthermore, the same applies to the case where the support means 8e and 8d are engaged with the engagement portions that constitute the support means 8e and 8d.

FIGS. 3a to 3c are diagrams for explaining how to use the tool of this embodiment.

First, as shown in FIG. 3a, the rod-shaped body 16 is lifted upward and positioned outside the container body 2.
Then, the brush 18 after painting is positioned corresponding to the rod-shaped body 16. Of course, the lid must be removed at this time.

Next, as shown in FIG. 3b, the rod-shaped body 16 is passed through the hanging hole of the handle 18a of the brush 18. Similarly, a desired number of brushes are suspended from the rod-shaped body 16.

The rod 16 is then lowered into the container body 2, as shown in FIG. Accept it. Incidentally, by storing the thinner 6 to an appropriate height in the container main body 2 and further supporting the receiving means with a supporting means of an appropriate height, the bristles 18b and the handle 18 of the brush 18 can be easily removed.
The lower part a can be immersed in the thinner 6, and the brush portion 18b can be prevented from coming into contact with the bottom surface of the container body 2.

Finally, the upper opening of the container body 2 is of course sealed with a lid, and the container is stored in this state.

To take out the brush after storage, the above procedure may be reversed.

In the method shown in FIG. 3, an example is shown in which both ends of the rod-shaped body 16 are removed from the receiving means and the brush 18 is inserted, but only one end is removed from the receiving means and the rod-shaped body 16 is inserted diagonally. It is also possible to insert the brush 18 from the upper end of the rod-shaped body in this state.

FIG. 4 shows a modification of the receiving means of FIG.
It is a partial sectional view corresponding to a cross section. That is, an overhanging portion 12' is provided at the lowermost end of the receiving means 12 to stably receive the end of the rod-shaped body 16 over a longer length.

1 and 2 above, the case where the receiving means is supported by the uppermost supporting means is shown, but in this embodiment, the receiving means is supported by supporting means at other heights as necessary. Of course I can support it. That is, the supporting means to be used is appropriately selected depending on the liquid level height of the thinner 6 and the length of the brush 18. By appropriately setting the liquid level of the thinner and the supporting means according to the type of brush to be stored, the bristles of the brush are stored in a state where they do not come into contact with the bottom of the container body and are suspended in the thinner. can do.

FIG. 5 is a transparent perspective view showing a second embodiment of the device of the present invention. Note that illustration of the lid body is omitted in this figure.

This embodiment is substantially different from the first embodiment only in the supporting means. That is, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, three supporting means 9a are provided at different positions in the horizontal direction on one inner wall surface of the container body 2.
9b and 9c are provided. These support means are located at different heights. As illustrated, each support means is constituted by a set of protruding members located at the same height, and the protruding members correspond to the locking portions in the first embodiment. On the inner wall surface of the container body 2 opposite to the inner wall surface on the supporting means 9a, 9b, 9c side, supporting means 9d, 9e, 9f forming a pair with each of the supporting means are similarly provided at corresponding positions. There is.

Fig. 6 shows the state of use in this embodiment.
FIG.

As shown in FIG. 6, in this example,
All of the supporting means are made to support receiving means, and each pair of receiving means receives a rod-like body 16, so that brushes 18 of different lengths can be hung and stored at the same time using each rod-like body.

In this embodiment, each pair of support means is arranged at different positions in the horizontal direction, but if they are arranged at the same position in the horizontal direction, the configuration can be substantially the same as that of the first embodiment. can do.

FIG. 7 is a partial perspective view showing a modification of the support means in this embodiment. The tip of the protruding member constituting this support means 9a is bent upward. Therefore, according to this modification, even if a flexible member is not used as the receiving means, the receiving means will not easily fall off from the supporting means.

In the above embodiment, a V-shaped receiving means is used, but the receiving means in the present invention is not limited to such a shape, and can stably receive the end of the rod-shaped body. You can use it if it is.

Furthermore, in the above embodiments, a case is illustrated in which a hole for hanging is formed in the brush, but
It will be clear that the invention is equally applicable to the storage of brushes with hooks or other means for hanging.
