Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a storage device for paint, particularly solid watercolor paint commonly known as cake type.

Conventionally, solid watercolor paints that are molded into a predetermined shape are usually stored in a small dish-shaped container such as porcelain, and then sold in a separate large box.

However, such products have the disadvantage that they do not fit well in small containers, require a separate pallet to be carried when in use, and are difficult to use after being dissolved in water.

In view of these drawbacks, the present invention creates a depression in a flat metal plate, and fits a small container containing paint into the depression to firmly fix it, so that even if there are only a few, it will not move accidentally. We devised a cake-type paint storage device that does not cause any problems.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained based on the attached drawings, which are examples.

FIG. 1 shows an example of a paint storage container and a palette, in which a container 1 and a lid 2 are pivoted 3 at the back and can be opened and closed.

This body container 1 has a bottom plate 1a which is a flat metal plate.
Circular depressions 4, 4 at designated locations (12 locations on the drawing)
A small container 5 made of synthetic resin containing the paint A is fitted into the recess 4.

Recesses 6, 6 as pallets are appropriately formed in the lid body 2.

As can be seen from FIGS. 2 and 3, the recess 4 provided in the meat container 1 has a tapered shape with a larger diameter at the inner depth than the opening 4a. Further, on the lower surface of the small container 5, a plurality of legs 7 (divided into eight equal parts in the drawing) are vertically arranged and arranged in a circular shape so as to fit into the recess 4.

The legs 7 are flared so that when strong pressure is applied, since the small container itself is made of synthetic resin, it can bend inward as shown by the dotted line in Figure 2 and fit into the recess 4.

That is, by aligning the legs 7 with the positions of the depressions 4 and applying strong pressure to the small container 5, the legs 7 will be placed in the depressions 4 as shown in FIG.
is inserted, and the small container 5 is firmly fixed. Since the legs of the small container 5 are wedged into the recess 4, there is no fear that the container will accidentally fall off even if it falls over.

When the small container 5 is to be removed, the small container 5 can be lifted up with the fingers, contrary to the case described above.

If a magnet 8 is fixed to the bottom surface of the small container 5 as shown in FIG. 5, it can be temporarily attached to the body container 1 or any other place made of iron plate.
Even if the legs 7 of the body are damaged, there is a practical benefit in that they can be fixed to the body container 1.

In Fig. 6, an independent flat mounting plate 9 is prepared,
An embodiment is shown in which a small container 5 is fitted thereon and the mounting plate 9 is housed in the body container 1.

In this case, it is convenient to provide the body container 1 itself with a recess 6'.

In other drawings, reference numeral 10 indicates a spring for fixing the paint brush provided on the body container or the mounting plate.

Of course, the present invention can be applied as a paint storage box or packaging container, but as shown in the illustrated embodiment, paints can be stored therein as a palette, and in other words, the paint packaging container can also be sold as a palette. Alternatively, the paint of any color stored in the small container 5 may be sold separately for replacement, and the user may incorporate only the desired color according to his or her preference and carry it with him or her.

According to the present invention, the cake-type paint contained in the small container 5 can be firmly fixed on the metal flat plate, so even when storing a small number of objects, there is no fear that the small container will move accidentally. There is no. In addition, as in the example, if the small container can be directly fixed to the palette and can be used as both a paint storage box and a palette, it will be extremely easy to use when used by dissolving paint with a paintbrush dipped in water. There is.
