Ein solcher Fließbecher ist aus dem Stand der Technik bekannt, beispielsweise aus der
Sämtliche aus dem Stand der Technik bislang bekannten Einrichtungen zum Verschließen der Belüftungsöffnung haben sich bezüglich der Dichtigkeit als unzureichend erwiesen. Auch bei einem Ventilmechanismus kann nicht zuverlässig ausgeschlossen werden, dass beim Abstellen des mit Farbe gefüllten Farbbechers auf dessen Boden Farbe durch die Belüftungsöffnung austritt.All previously known from the prior art devices for closing the ventilation opening have proved to be inadequate in terms of tightness. Even with a valve mechanism can not be reliably ruled out that exits on stopping the color cup on the bottom of paint through the vent.

Zum Verschließen der Belüftungsöffnung 4 wirkt eines der beiden Verschlusselemente 5 mit dem Vorsprung 10 am Behälterboden 23 zur Bildung eines Ventils zusammen, wobei der Vorsprung 10 das Ventilgehäuse und das Verschlusselement 5 den Ventildeckel bildet. Das Ventil ist hierbei als Doppelventil mit zwei in Strömungsrichtung hintereinander angeordneten und voneinander getrennten Ventilsitzen ausgebildet ist. Jeder Ventilsitz weist eine eigene Dichtfläche 6 bzw. 7 auf. Das Zusammenwirken von Verschlusselement 5 und Vorsprung 10 zur Bildung des Ventils, mit dem die Belüftungsöffnung 4 verschließbar ist, ist in
Durch Zusammenwirken der Nuten 15 und 16 an der Innenseite des Grundkörpers 11 und der Ringrippe 17 an der Außenseite des Vorsprungs 10 ist das durch das Verschlusselement 5 und den Vorsprung 10 gebildete Ventil in zwei Ventilstellungen fixierbar. In der in

Das zweite, am Deckel 2 angeformte Verschlusselement 5, welches identisch zum anderen Verschlusselement 5 ausgebildet ist, kann zum Verschließen der Auslassöffnung 19 am Anschlussteil des Deckels 2 verwendet werden, indem dieses Verschlusselement 5 zunächst vom Deckel 2 abgebrochen und dann auf den Auslassstutzen 20 aufgesetzt wird. Der Innendurchmesser des Grundkörpers 11 und der Außendurchmesser des Auslassstutzens 20 sind hierfür aufeinander abgestimmt, damit die Innenseite 14 des Grundkörpers 11 dicht an der Außenseite des Stutzens 20 anliegt, wie in

In einem hier nicht zeichnerisch dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel des Fließbechers ist vorgesehen, dass die Belüftungsöffnung 4 zunächst durch eine dünne Membran verschlossen ist und erst beim Einsetzen des Verschlusselements 5 in die erste Ventilstellung eingestochen wird, indem eine am Stopfen 13 des Verschlusselements 5 angeformte Spitze die dünne Membran durchstößt.In a non-illustrated embodiment of the flow cup is provided that the
Aufgrund der Ausbildung von zwei separaten Ventilsitzen mit jeweils einer Dichtfläche 6 bzw. 7 wird ein dichter Verschluss der Belüftungsöffnung 4 bei dem erfindungsgemäßen Fließbecher ermöglicht. Gegenüber den aus dem Stand der Technik bekannten Maßnahmen zum Verschließen der Belüftungsöffnung im Behälterboden zeichnet sich dieser Verschluss durch eine wesentlich bessere Dichtigkeit aus. Dies erlaubt es schliesslich, den Behälter auf dem Boden abzustellen, ohne dass die in dem Behälter befindliche Farbe herausläuft. Dadurch wird insbesondere ermöglicht, die Farbe in dem Behälter anzumischen, bevor der Behälter dann in üblicher Weise auf die Farbspritzpistole aufgesetzt wird. Das Ventil zum Verschließen der Belüftungsöffnung zeichnet sich ferner dadurch aus, dass das Verschlußelement 5 leicht wieder vom Behälter weggenommen werden kann, indem das Verschlußelement vom Vorsprung manuell durch Lösen der Rastverbindung abgezogen wird. Auf diese Weise wird ermöglicht, dass überschüssige Farbe, welche beim Lackiervorgang nicht gebraucht wurde, durch die Belüftungsöffnung ausfliessen und einer Wiederverwertung zugeführt werden kann, wenn der Behälter mit dem Behälterboden nach unten gehalten wird.Due to the formation of two separate valve seats, each with a sealing
In einem alternativen, hier nicht zeichnerisch dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel liegt die Belüftungsöffnung 4 und der diese umgebende Vorsprung 10 azentrisch bezüglich der Längsmittelachse des Behälters 1, d.h. die Belüftungsöffnung 4 sowie die Mittelachse A des Vorsprungs 10 liegen außermittig bezüglich des Becherbodens 23.In an alternative embodiment, not illustrated here, the
Weiterhin kann das Ventil zum Verschließen der Belüftungsöffnung 4 so ausgebildet sein, dass es in mehr als zwei Ventilstellungen einstellbar ist. Hierfür ist beispielsweise vorgesehen, dass mehr als zwei Ringnute 15, 16 an der Außenseite des hohlzylindrischen Grundkörpers 11 angeordnet sind. Alternativ zu einer Mehrzahl von Ringnuten zur Bildung eines in mehreren Stellungen verrastbaren Ventils können auch parallel und im Abstand zueinander verlaufende Doppelringnute ausgebildet sein.Furthermore, the valve for closing the
