Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a brush washer used to wash paintbrushes covered with oil paint after painting with oil.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, a waste paint tray and a net body are provided in a container containing cleaning oil, a paintbrush is rubbed against this net body, and the washed waste paint is collected in the waste paint tray, and a handle attached to the waste paint tray and the net body. There is a known brush washer that can be used to remove waste paint from the container by holding it and discarding it. (Refer to Utility Model Publication No. 31-8317).

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

With this conventional brush washer, when putting the waste paint tray in and out of the container, there is almost no gap between the waste paint tray and the container periphery, so the cleaning oil easily overflows and spills. I have to let it happen. Note that if a gap is provided between the waste paint tray and the periphery of the container, rubbing the paintbrush will agitate the cleaning oil and cause the waste paint from the net to fall outside the waste paint tray. Gaps must be kept as small as possible.

The object of the present invention is to eliminate this inconvenience and to realize a brush washer in which a waste paint tray can be easily and quickly taken in and out without spilling cleaning oil.

[Means for solving problems]

The present invention consists of a container for storing cleaning oil, a waste paint tray that is placed on the inner bottom of the container and has a handle that is exposed outside the cleaning oil so that it can be taken out, and a container for cleaning oil on the waste paint tray. A gap is formed between the brush washing net held by the brush washing net and the inner peripheral surface of the container, and the outer periphery between the net and the waste paint tray is wrapped, and the waste paint that has fallen from the net is guided onto the waste paint tray. , and a guide body that forms a passage for transferring cleaning oil up and down the waste paint tray as the waste paint tray comes in and out.

[Effect]

Therefore, in this brush washer, when the waste paint tray is put in and taken out by holding the handle, the washing oil moves through the gap formed by the guide body, so it is possible to quickly put in and take out the brush without spilling it. . Further, waste paint that falls from the net body is guided by the guide body and is reliably collected in the waste paint tray.

〔Example〕

An embodiment of the present invention shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 will be described below. In this brush washer 10, 11
is a container in which cleaning oil 12 is stored. 13
A waste paint tray is placed on the inner bottom of the container 11, and waste paint 14 is stored therein. Reference numeral 15 denotes a handle, which is made of a substantially U-shaped thin plate.The lower end is fixed to the waste paint tray 13, and the upper end is exposed above the washing oil 12, and the waste paint tray 13 can be taken out by holding this upper end. . Reference numeral 16 denotes a net body, which includes a protrusion 17 in the middle of the support portion of the handle 15 and a support 1 rising from the waste paint tray 13.
8 and held below the surface of the washing oil 12 on the waste paint tray 13. Reference numeral 19 denotes a guide body, which is a cup-shaped body having a number of through holes 20 on the circumferential surface of its lower end, and wraps around the outer periphery between the net body 16 and the waste paint tray 13.
The waste paint that has fallen from the net body 16 is guided onto the waste paint tray 13. Further, a gap 21 is formed between this guide body 19 and the inner circumferential surface of the container 11, so that when the waste paint tray 13 is taken in and out, the cleaning oil 12 is removed from the waste paint tray 13.
From above, it passes through the upper end of the guide body 19, the gap 21 and the through hole 20, and moves freely under the waste paint tray 13, so that it does not overflow to the outside.

In this example, the guide body 19 is made of a cup-shaped body, but the bottom and lower end circumferential surfaces are not necessary.
It may have any shape as long as it wraps around the outer periphery between the net and the waste paint tray.

Therefore, in this brush washer 10, when washing paintbrushes, the paintbrushes are washed with the mesh body 16 in the same way as in conventional brush washer.
Use by rubbing it on. When used in this manner, the waste paint 14 that has fallen from the net body 16 accumulates on the waste paint tray 13, so the waste paint tray 13 is taken out of the container 11 together with the net body 16 by holding the handle 15, the waste paint 14 is washed away, and the waste paint 14 is collected again. Just hold the handle 15 and return it.

Note that instead of storing waste paint 14 directly in the waste paint tray 13 as shown in the figure, a disposable plate made of plastic or the like may be fitted onto the waste paint tray 13, and the waste paint may be stored thereon. .

[Effect of idea]

As mentioned above, the brush washer of the present invention can be used when removing accumulated waste paint by holding the handle, or when returning the waste paint tray to the container after washing it. Furthermore, since the cleaning oil in the container is well circulated through the gap between the guide body and the inner surface of the container, the waste paint tray can be quickly taken in and out without fear of spillage, making it extremely easy to handle. Moreover, since the paint that has fallen from the net body is guided by the guide body and reliably collected in the waste paint tray, no waste paint is left in the container.

Furthermore, by fitting a disposable plate to the waste paint plate, it is possible to simply dispose of the waste paint together with the disposable plate, thereby saving the effort of washing the waste paint plate.
