Description

La présente invention a pour objet un dispositif de support pour le manchon cylindrique d'un rouleau à peindre.The present invention relates to a support device for the cylindrical sleeve of a paint roller.

Les rouleaux à peindre connus à ce jour présentent généralement une forme en T et comprennent un manchon cylindrique monté en rotation libre entre des flasques sur un étrier, généralement un fil métallique plié équipé d'un manche à son extrémité.The paint rollers known to date generally have a T-shape and comprise a cylindrical sleeve mounted in free rotation between flanges on a stirrup, generally a bent metal wire equipped with a handle at its end.

Ces rouleaux sont très encombrants, notamment lorsqu'il sont proposés à la vente sur un linéaire où ils sont généralement suspendus à une tringle par un orifice pratiqué à l'extrémité du manche.These rollers are very bulky, especially when they are offered for sale on a shelf where they are generally suspended from a rod by an orifice made at the end of the handle.

La présente invention vise à remédier à cet inconvénient en proposant un dispositif de support pour rouleau à peindre qui, outre le fait d'être d'un encombrement très réduit lors son exposition à la vente, présente également l'avantage d'être d'un coût de fabrication et d'un poids moindres que les dispositifs existants.The present invention aims to remedy this drawback by proposing a support device for a paint roller which, apart from being very compact when exposed to the sale, also has the advantage of being lower manufacturing costs and less weight than existing devices.

Le dispositif de support d'un rouleau à peindre selon l'invention se caractérise essentiellement en ce qu'il vient entièrement de moulage par injection d'une matière plastique, et en ce que le manche est divisé dans le sens de la longueur en deux parties solidarisables, articulées sur la partie destinée à supporter ledit manchon cylindrique.The device for supporting a paint roller according to the invention is essentially characterized in that it comes entirely from injection molding of a plastic material, and in that the handle is divided lengthwise in half. solidary parts, articulated on the part intended to support said cylindrical sleeve.

Un tel support peut être est ainsi présenté à la vente avec les deux parties solidarisables du manche positionnées dans le prolongement l'une de l'autre, le long de l'étrier destiné à supporter le manchon cylindrique, parallèlement à celui-ci, permettant un gain important de place sur un linéaire.Such a support can thus be presented for sale with the two integral parts of the handle positioned in the extension of one another, along the stirrup intended to support the cylindrical sleeve, parallel to the latter, allowing a significant gain in space on a shelf.

Pour utiliser un tel rouleau, il suffit de rapprocher les deux parties du manche et de les encliqueter l'une dans l'autre, leur solidarisation étant réalisée par des moyens connus en soi.To use such a roller, it suffices to bring the two parts of the handle together and to snap them into one another, their joining being carried out by means known per se.

Les avantages et les caractéristiques de la présente invention ressortiront plus clairement de la description qui suit et qui se rapporte au dessin annexé, lequel en représente quelques modes de réalisation non limitatifs.The advantages and characteristics of the present invention will emerge more clearly from the description which follows and which refers to the appended drawing, which represents some non-limiting embodiments.

Dans le dessin annexé :

In the attached drawing:
  • Figure 1 shows a partial front view of a first embodiment of a device according to the invention, where the handle is in the two extreme positions, open and closed.
  • Figure 2 shows a side view of the same device whose handle is reconstructed.
  • FIG. 3 represents a top view, in the extension of the reconstituted handle, of this same device.
  • FIG. 4 represents a front view of a second embodiment of a device according to the invention.
  • FIG. 5 represents a front view of the same device in another configuration.

Si on se réfère aux figures 1, 2 et 3 on peut voir qu'un support de manchon cylindrique, non représenté, d'un dispositif de rouleau à peindre selon l'invention, réalisé par moulage par injection d'une matière plastique du type polypropylène, comporte deux parties distinctes, un manche 1 sensiblement cylindrique divisé en deux parties demi-cylindriques 2 et 3, et un étrier 4 en forme de goulotte comportant à chacune de ses extrémités un flasque 40 muni de moyens pour la fixation du manchon.Referring to Figures 1, 2 and 3 it can be seen that a cylindrical sleeve support, not shown, of a paint roller device according to the invention, produced by injection molding of a plastic material of the type polypropylene, has two separate parts, a substantially cylindrical handle 1 divided into two semi-cylindrical parts 2 and 3, and a stirrup 4 in the form of a chute comprising at each of its ends a flange 40 provided with means for fixing the sleeve.

Le manche 1, constitué du rapprochement des deux parties 2 et 3, comporte une base 10 de section carrée, abritant une cavité 11 de forme également carrée.The handle 1, consisting of the bringing together of the two parts 2 and 3, comprises a base 10 of square section, housing a cavity 11 of also square shape.

Les parties 2 et 3 du manche 1 sont solidarisées à l'étrier 4 sur un plot carré 41 positionné au centre de l'étrier 4, par l'intermédiaire de deux ponts, respectivement 42 et 43, venant de moulage, qui autorisent un pivotement à 90° des parties 2 et 3, permettant de les faire passer d'une position parallèle à une position perpendiculaire à l'étrier 4, et de constituer ainsi le manche 1, la solidarisation l'une à l'autre des deux parties 2 et 3 étant réalisée par des moyens d'encliquetage connus, non représentés.Parts 2 and 3 of the handle 1 are secured to the stirrup 4 on a square stud 41 positioned in the center of the stirrup 4, by means of two bridges, respectively 42 and 43, coming from molding, which allow pivoting at 90 ° to parts 2 and 3, allowing them to pass from a position parallel to a position perpendicular to the stirrup 4, and thus to constitute the handle 1, the joining together of the two parts 2 and 3 being produced by known latching means, not shown.

Un second plot 44, de section également carrée, faisant saillie au centre du plot 41, et de dimensions extérieures égales aux dimensions intérieures de la cavité 11 du manche 1, est enveloppé étroitement par la base 10 du manche lors du rapprochement des deux parties 2 et 3, renforçant ainsi la solidarisation et le maintien du manche 1 sur l'étrier 4.A second stud 44, also of square section, projecting at the center of stud 41, and of external dimensions equal to the internal dimensions of the cavity 11 of the handle 1, is tightly wrapped by the base 10 of the handle when the two parts 2 are brought together. and 3, thus reinforcing the joining and maintaining of the handle 1 on the stirrup 4.

Après fabrication, le manche 1 est ouvert, les parties 2 et 3 sont positionnées parallèlement à l'étrier 4, rattachées à celui-ci par des ponts 45 sécables, visibles sur la figure 1, de sorte que le support peut être présenté à la vente suspendu dans un linéaire avec un encombrement moindre, des orifices 20 et 30 étant pratiqués en vue de cette suspension à l'extrémité des parties respectivement 2 et 3 du manche 1.After manufacture, the handle 1 is open, the parts 2 and 3 are positioned parallel to the stirrup 4, attached to the latter by breakable bridges 45, visible on Figure 1, so that the support can be presented for sale suspended in a linear with a smaller footprint, orifices 20 and 30 being formed for this suspension at the end of parts 2 and 3 respectively of the handle 1.

D'autre part, l'étrier 4 comporte, saillants perpendiculairement à la fois à l'étrier 4 et à l'axe du manche 1, deux ergots parallèles 46 et 47, venant également de moulage, permettant le positionnement à l'horizontale du rouleau sur le bord du pot de peinture en vue de son égouttage, l'écartement de ces deux ergots 46 et 47 permettant leur encliquetage sur un pot d'épaisseur standard.On the other hand, the stirrup 4 comprises, projecting perpendicular both to the stirrup 4 and to the axis of the handle 1, two parallel lugs 46 and 47, also coming from molding, allowing the horizontal positioning of the roller on the edge of the paint bucket for draining, the spacing of these two pins 46 and 47 allowing their snap-fastening on a pot of standard thickness.

Si on se réfère maintenant aux figures 4 et 5, on peut voir que selon un second mode de réalisation le manche 1 est constitué de deux parties non identiques 2' et 3', solidarisables l'une à l'autre également par encliquetage.If we now refer to Figures 4 and 5, we can see that according to a second embodiment the handle 1 consists of two non-identical parts 2 'and 3', which can be joined together also by snap-fastening.

Les parties 2' et 3' sont solidarisées à l'étrier 4, avec possibilité de pivotement, de la même manière que dans le mode de réalisation précédent, c'est-à-dire par des ponts, respectivement 42 et 43.The parts 2 ′ and 3 ′ are secured to the stirrup 4, with the possibility of pivoting, in the same manner as in the previous embodiment, that is to say by bridges, respectively 42 and 43.

La partie 2' comporte en extrémité une portion tubulaire 21 permettant l'adaptation d'une rallonge, non représentée, facilitant les travaux de peinture à distance, par exemple pour peindre un plafond.Part 2 'has at its end a tubular portion 21 allowing the adaptation of an extension, not shown, facilitating remote painting work, for example for painting a ceiling.

Les parties 2' et 3' comportent chacune à proximité des ponts, respectivement 42 et 43, et perpendiculairement à ceux-ci, une nervure plate, respectivement 22 et 32, destinée, lors du rapprochement des parties 2' et 3' pour constituer le manche 1, à être engagée dans une mortaise 48 pratiquée, dans le sens longitudinal, dans le plot 41.The parts 2 'and 3' each have, near the bridges, respectively 42 and 43, and perpendicularly to these, a flat rib, respectively 22 and 32, intended, when the parts 2 'and 3' are brought together to form the handle 1, to be engaged in a mortise 48 made, in the longitudinal direction, in the stud 41.

Les nervures plates 22 et 32 en association avec la mortaise 48 permettent ainsi de renforcer la solidarisation du manche 1 à l'étrier 4, dans le sens d'utilisation du rouleau, soit perpendiculairement à ces nervures plates 22 et 32.The flat ribs 22 and 32 in association with the mortise 48 thus make it possible to strengthen the connection from handle 1 to stirrup 4, in the direction of use of the roller, or perpendicular to these flat ribs 22 and 32.

Il convient de noter que chacune des parties 2' et 3' peut comporter plusieurs nervures plates parallèles 22, 32 destinées à être engagées dans plusieurs mortaises 48 parallèles pratiquées dans le plot 41.It should be noted that each of the parts 2 ′ and 3 ′ may comprise several parallel flat ribs 22, 32 intended to be engaged in several parallel mortises 48 made in the stud 41.

Outre son faible encombrement lors de son exposition à la vente, le dispositif selon l'invention présente d'autres avantages.In addition to its small size when exposed to the sale, the device according to the invention has other advantages.

D'une part, en effet, la forme en goulotte de l'étrier 4 permet d'éviter les projections de peinture sur le manche 1, donc sur la main de l'utilisateur.On the one hand, in fact, the trough shape of the stirrup 4 makes it possible to avoid paint splashes on the handle 1, therefore on the user's hand.

D'autre part, du fait que le dispositif selon l'invention est entièrement réalisé en matière plastique, il ne présente pas de risques d'électrocution de l'utilisateur, comme c'est le cas des rouleaux à peindre classiques lorsqu'ils sont utilisés à proximité d'une source de courant.On the other hand, because the device according to the invention is entirely made of plastic, it does not present any risk of electric shock to the user, as is the case with conventional paint rollers when they are used near a power source.
