Description
PAINT MUG WITH LINER
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to container for fluid products and more particularly for paint.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Paint containers have been in use for some time. However, conventional paint containers have many drawbacks. Some are difficult to use while others do not minimize paint drippings.
The container of the present invention overcomes the drawbacks of some of the conventional containers by having a combined pouring spout and hanger means for the container. The construction of the container is such as to minimize paint running on the sides of a paint container and on the painter's hands. This container may also be designed to provide for a quart can of paint or of any other regular size to be placed in the container. Also, a disposable plastic liner may be placed in the container into which paint is placed for use.
US Patent Number 3 5,933 discloses a paint holder and delivery device comprising a spout and a handle. The device also comprises a space to store a paintbrush. The device does not comprise a hanger means and is of a far more complex construction than the container of the present invention. A pair of flanges extend on opposite sides of the paint reservoir to provide surfaces for removal and recapture of excess paint from the paint brush.
US Patent Number 4,927,046 discloses a paint container comprising a handle and spout.
The spout is also adapted to hold the handle of the paint brush. This device does not comprise a hanger means for the container or a means to minimize paint running on the sides of the container or paint spillage.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention provides a container for paint or other fluid products comprising a base, a generally cylindrical side wall and hanger member. The side walls have an inwardly directed bevelled upper edge having a pouring spout. In a preferred embodiment, the hanger member is integrally moulded with the container side wall and incorporates a pouring spout in the form of a channel in the upper surface thereof.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
The invention is illustrated by way of example in the accompanying drawings in which:
Figure 1 is a side view of the container of the present invention;
Figure 2 is a top view of the container with the lid removed;
Figure 3 is a front view of the container of the present invention;
Figure 4 is a front view of the liner which can be used with the container of the present invention;
and Figure 5 is a perspective view of the container and lid therefore.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
Referring to the drawings, a paint container indicated generally as 10 comprises a base 12 and a generally cylindrical side wall 14. The side wall 14 has an inwardly directed bevelled upper edge 16 with a combined spout/hanger arrangement extending therefrom.
The bevelled edge 16 of the container 10 allows paint on the rim to run back into the container 10. The spout/hanger arrangement includes a hanger 20 member and a spout 18. Hanger member 20 is integrally moulded with the bevelled upper edge 16 of the container 10 and extends outwardly of the container 10 in a generally hook-shaped arm 22. The pouring spout 18 is formed in the upper surface of the hanger member as seen in Figure 5. A dependant portion 24 of the hanger arm extends generally downwardly and is adapted to be hooked over the rung of a ladder or the like.
The side wall 14 of the container 10 is, in a preferred embodiment, cylindrical.
The container 10 further comprises a handle 26. The handle 26 is secured to the side wall 14 of the container at a point diametrically opposed to the pouring spout 18.
In the preferred embodiment, the handle 26 has the shape of an asymmetrical V. The longest arm 28 of the handle 26 is secured adjacent to and immediately below the bevelled edge 16 of the container 10.
The shorter arm 30 of said handle 26 is secured adjacent to and immediately above the base 12.
The handle 16 can have any number of shapes and can also have any number of cross sections.
In a preferred embodiment, the handle 26 has a triangular cross section which allows the painter a better grip on the container 10. The handle 26 can also have indentations 32 as illustrated in Figure 1 for an easier placement of the fingers of the user.
In a preferred embodiment, the base 12 has a larger diameter than that of the container 10 thus giving it increased stability thus making the tipping of such a container less likely. The base 12 can have any number of shapes. The base 12 illustrated in Figure 1 flares outwardly.
The container 10 may include a lid 34 having a handle 36.
Paint or other fluids can be placed directly in the container 10 or one can use a removable or disposable liner 38 of the type illustrated in Figure 4. The liner 38 is adapted to be placed in the container 10 and has the same general shape as the container 10. The liner 38 has a bevelled edge 40 and a spout 42 which; in practice, overlays the spout 18 on the container. It further comprises a flange 44 which extends downwardly from the upper edge 46 of the liner and terminates on either side of the spout 42. Such flange 44 is placed on the outside of the upper edge of the container 10 and thus prevents spillage and dripping of paint within the container 10 when the liner 38 is in use. In use, the insert 38 is placed within the container 10, ensuring that the flange 44 is outside of the container 10.
