Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of devices for impregnating an application tool with paint.
  • the user To impregnate the roller 30, the user generally begins by immersing the roller 30 on a third of its periphery, then, by rolling it on the grid 20, makes it perform a third of a turn, and repeats these operations twice in succession, shifting to each time the roller a third of a turn before submerging it. Correct impregnation of the roller thus requires significant labor time, and nothing guarantees the user against the risk of immersing the roller 30 too deeply, which would cause penetration of paint into the interior space of the roller. , with the disadvantage of requiring an extended spin time.
  • the grid has a plurality of cylindrical channels through which the liquid is forced to impregnate the tampon when the latter presses on the grid.
  • the latter In order to avoid excessive impregnation of the applicator pad when the latter is pressed against the grid, the latter is shaped so that the buffer closes the channels, thus hampering the passage of the liquid through the grid and slowing down the penetration of the latter in the liquid.
  • this solution is not entirely satisfactory and the container must be provided with a spin roller against which the impregnated pad is moved before use.
  • the present invention relates to an improved device, overcoming the aforementioned drawbacks, in particular less costly to produce and making it possible to safely and quickly carry out a correct impregnation of the tool.
  • the present invention therefore provides a device for impregnating an application tool with paint, of the type comprising a container for containing the paint and a shaped grid for floating on the surface of the paint while being capable of sinking into it. under the action of a downward force, so as to present above the upper surface of the grid, suitable for supporting the tool, the thickness of paint desired to impregnate the tool , the grid being shaped so that said upper surface emerges from the paint in the absence of the application tool.
  • the buoyancy of the grid is sufficient for said upper surface to continue to emerge from the paint when one or more application tools rest by their weight on the grid and the grid has a plurality of channels opening onto said grid. upper surface, at least one of said channels having a flared internal section opening onto said upper surface.
  • the invention facilitates the passage of paint through the grid while giving it high buoyancy.
  • the present invention also relates to a grid, taken separately, suitable for being used to form a device according to the invention.
  • a device comprising a container 100 adapted to contain paint and a grid 200.
  • the grid 200 has a clean upper surface 2100 to serve as a support for an application tool not shown in these figures.
  • the grid 200 is shaped to float in the container on the surface of the paint, being capable of sinking into it under the action of a force exerted downwards, so as to present above the surface 2100 a thickness of paint desired to impregnate the tool.
  • the device has been shown in FIGS. 2, 3 and 4 in a configuration where the container 100 does not contain paint.
  • the term "paint” means any impregnation or treatment product in general, in liquid, gelled or pasty form, that is to say all kinds of glycerophthalic or acrylic paints, but also lacquers, waxes, varnishes, fungicides, resins, sealants, and other products for the treatment of a support or impregnation.
  • application tool means any instrument capable of being used for applying the paint to a support, that is to say all the paintbrushes, brushes, applicators of the paint pad type, rollers, etc.
  • the container 100 comprises a bottom 105, preferably plane as shown, bordered laterally by a raised wall 110, extending substantially at right angles to the plane of the bottom 105.
  • the container 100 at the shape of a rectangular tank, but it goes without saying that it is possible to propose other container geometries without departing from the scope of the invention, the raised wall 110 being able moreover to be adapted to receive a closure cover not shown. .
  • the grid 200 extends over a surface covering almost the entire bottom 105 of the container 100, and has an external contour 2300 matching the internal contour of the raised wall 110 of the container 100, so that the movements possible for the grid 200 in the container 100 are essentially translational movements in a vertical direction perpendicular to the plane of the bottom 105, that is to say to the plane of the top view of FIG. 2.
  • the grid would then be capable of rotating around this axis, in addition to the movement of translation in the above-mentioned vertical direction.
  • the grid 200 comprises a central part or sole 210, delimited according to its thickness above by the surface 2100, suitable for serving as a support for an application tool not shown, and below by a flat surface 2110.
  • the sole 210 is bordered on its periphery by a bulged part 230, of greater thickness than the sole 210, intended in particular to improve the flotation of the grid on the surface of the paint and to provide comfort in use, by presenting a peripheral wall 2350 sufficiently raised above the upper surface 2100 so as to avoid penetration of paint by the outer edges of the grid when the latter is pressed into the paint.
  • the bulged portion 230 comprises four rectilinear parallel portions two by two, that is to say, more particularly, the first two portions 231 parallel to each other and two other portions 232 parallel to each other, of shorter length than the portions 231, arranged perpendicularly to the latter.
  • gripping ears 240 are provided on two opposite sides of the grid. Preferably, these are the sides of the grid along which the two portions 232 of shorter length extend.
  • This passage is, as shown, constituted by a plurality of channels 220 extending through the thickness of the sole and opening onto the upper 2100 and lower 2110 surfaces.
  • These channels 220 each preferably have a symmetrical internal section around a vertical axis, referenced X for the channel 220 shown in FIG. 4A, and can have various internal sections, circular or polygonal.
  • the channels 220 have a generally flared upward section, opening onto the upper surface 2100, so as to facilitate the flow of the paint, and according to another characteristic of the invention, the grid 200 is shaped so that the upper surface 2100 continues to emerge from the paint when one or more application tools 30 rest by their weight on grid 200.
  • the channels 220 comprise a lower part 221 extending from the lower face 2110 upwards, over approximately 7/8 of the thickness of the sole 210, having a frustoconical internal surface diverging from the lower surface 2110, by an angle close to a few degrees, approximately 5 ° in the example of embodiment described, extending upwards by a countersink 222 leading to the upper surface 2100.
  • the geometry of the countersinks 222 has been, in the embodiment described, chosen circular in order to simplify the machining of the molds used for the production of the grid, but it is advantageously possible to propose making the countersinks 222 with a geometry square, which would make it possible to reduce the portions of the upper surface 2100 serving as a bearing surface for the application tool between the millings 222, therefore to improve the paint shrinkage by increasing the passage section for the paint .
  • the lower surface 2110 of the grid 200 is advantageously shaped to match the shape of the bottom 105 of the container 100, so as to minimize the volume of paint remaining in the container when the grid rests on the bottom and is no longer usable, with the advantage of allowing, when the grid is removed, a resumption of work under the same conditions as those obtained by the use of the grid, that is to say with a small thickness of paint to impregnate the tool d 'application.
  • the grid is shaped so that the upper surface 2100 emerges from the paint P in the absence of the application tool.
  • the level N1 of the plane of the upper surface 2100 measured by taking as a reference the plane of the bottom 105 of the container 100, is then greater than the level N2 of the surface of the paint P in the container.
  • the skilled person will choose the material in which the grid is made, so that the Archimedes thrust due to the volume of material immersed is sufficient to maintain the upper surface 2100 emerged.
  • the grid covers a major part of the free surface of the paint in the container, preferably more than three quarters, which makes it possible to reduce the surface of paint in direct contact with the ambient air, thus limiting the losses of solvent. by evaporation and thus allows better conservation of the paint.
  • the grid 200 can be produced by injecting plastic foam into a mold or by hermetically assembling two hollow half-shells, the air trapped between the shells then ensuring the buoyancy of the grid.
  • the grid is produced by injecting polyurethane foam into a mold.
  • the geometrical distribution of the volume of material necessary to ensure the buoyancy of the grid is carried out at the choice of the skilled person, in the thickness of the sole 210 and the bulged part 230, so as to give the grid the most great stability possible on the surface of the paint when a downward force, applied near an edge of the grid, tends to unbalance it.
  • Illustrated in Figure 6 is a roller 30 which rests by its weight on the upper surface 2100 while remaining out of the paint P.
  • the grid 200 is capable of sinking into the paint P under the action of a force F exerted downwards, so as to present, above the upper surface 2100, a thickness of paint N2-N1 desired to impregnate the application tool.
  • the expression "desired thickness of paint” should be understood, within the context of the present invention, as the thickness of paint which provides the user with optimal comfort of use, that is to say, allows him to '' soak the application tool with an adequate amount of paint.
  • the force F exerted will be such that the thickness of paint N2-N1 remains less than the thickness of the peripheral part 31 of the roller.
  • the internal section of the channels 220 is, as previously mentioned, flared, opening onto the upper surface, facilitating rapid removal of the paint from the upper surface 2100 when the application tool is removed, i.e. -to say when the upper surface 2100 tends to emerge from the paint.
  • the internal section of the channels 220 is adapted, at the choice of a person skilled in the art, to the viscosity and surface tension characteristics of the paint, so that the pressure drop encountered by the paint when crossing the channels 220 does not constitute discomfort for the user by limiting the paint flow too much.
  • an internal section will be chosen having a geometry making it possible to cover, using a single grid model, a range of paint viscosities as wide as possible.
  • a device according to the invention for impregnating an application tool with paint thanks to its particularly simple structure, proves to be robust in its use, and allows better conservation of the paint, savings in solvent as well as gains. of labor time allowing rapid impregnation of the application tool with the quantity of paint just necessary.
