Definitions

  • the present invention refers to a device for squeezing a paint tool.
  • paint is usually taken and diluted, typically with water, inside a container.
  • painting is carried out by immerging a roller or paintbrush in the container containing the diluted paint so as to impregnate it with paint.
  • meshes are currently used that have a square shape and are placed on top of the container or in special trays; the roller or paintbrush is passed over and pressed against this mesh so that excess paint falls into the underlying container or tray.
  • US 20031000041 A1 discloses a device for wringing a paint tool comprising a mesh.
  • the mesh has a concave shape and defines sides from which supports extend for constraining said device to the lips of a container.
  • a leg extends from an edge which is interposed between said walls.
  • the technical function that the present invention proposes is therefore providing a device for squeezing a paint tool that allows the technical drawbacks complained about in the known art to be eliminated.
  • one object of the invention is to provide a device allowing the desired amount of paint to be removed from the roller or paintbrush by passing the same roller or paintbrush against the device a limited number of times.
  • Another object of the invention is to embody a device that can be constrained in a firm and steady manner to a bucket containing paint.
  • the device according to the invention is made as a single element of a plastic material.
  • the device according to the invention usefully guarantees greater freedom for the user since it is provided with holders to which rollers or paintbrushes can be fixed when not being used.
  • the device is equipped with a mesh and a continuous surface, with the holders positioned on the edge of the continuous surface so that when the roller or paintbrush is hung on the holders and another roller or paintbrush is squeezed (by pressing it against the device), the paint that falls does not daub the roller or paintbrush hung on the holders.
  • a device for squeezing a paint tool and indicated as whole by reference numeral 1.
  • the device 1 comprises a mesh 2 against which the paint tool (preferably a roller, although the device according to the invention can nevertheless be used along with paintbrushes) can be pressed to remove excess paint.
  • the paint tool preferably a roller, although the device according to the invention can nevertheless be used along with paintbrushes
  • the mesh 2 has a concave shape and defines sides 4 equipped with one or more openings (a single, large-sized opening in the example); alternatively, the sides 4 can also be closed.
  • Supports 5 suitable for constraining the device to the lips of a container 7 containing the paint to be applied, extend from the sides 4.
  • the device 1 also has a continuous surface 9 that extends from an edge 10 of the mesh 2 inserted between the sides 4. Furthermore, as shall become clearer further on, the continuous surface 9 usefully extends for a width LP equal or greater than the length LR of the roller to be squeezed with the device 1 ( Figures 3 , 5 ).
  • the mesh 2 is substantially U-shaped and the continuous surface 9 extends from one end of the U.
  • the U-shaped mesh 2 has flared or stretched ends and the end of the U from which the continuous surface 9 extends is aligned with the portion of continuous surface 9 that is connected to it.
  • the U-shaped mesh 2 is shaped like an arc of a circle and the continuous surface 9 has a curved profile.
  • the concave mesh 2 internally defines a seat 12 prepared to accept the roller RU or other paint device to be pressed ( Figures 5, 6 ).
  • the concave seat 12 has a radius of curvature RS equal or greater than the radius of the roller RU to be pressed, where this radius is measured when the roller RU is substantially dry, not impregnated with paint and substantially undeformed.
  • the concave seat 12 has a depth H equal or greater than at least one third of the diameter D of the roller RU to be pressed and, more preferably, the depth H is equal or greater than at least half the diameter D: this allows the sides of the roller RU to be adequately encircled and to squeeze it better and more quickly.
  • the radius of curvature RS of the seat 12 is preferably not greater than 1.2 times the radius of the roller RU to be pressed.
  • the continuous surface 9 has a plurality of protuberances 13 that project from its surface and that have an elongated shape oriented with one end 14 facing towards the mesh 2 and closer to a central transversal axis 18 with respect to the other end 17.
  • the protuberances 13 prevent the roller from sliding and, in practice, ensure that when the roller is passed against the wall 13, it rotates in a manner such that all of its surface is squeezed and the excess paint is removed in a uniform manner.
  • Holders 20 able to hold a roller or paintbrush project from a free edge 19 of the continuous surface 9, close to a part opposite to that where the mesh 2 is positioned.
  • An edge 21 of the mesh 2, opposite to the edge 10 from which the continuous surface 9 extends, is thicker.
  • the supports 5 are defined by profiles having an inverted L shape.
  • locking elements 26, for example, shaped like hooks or projections able to engage on the lips of the container 7, are provided on the side of the supports 5 facing the respective side 4 and close to the free end of each support 5.
  • Wings 25 that have free ends set apart from the corresponding side 4 project from the ends of the supports 5; they provide grip points for opening the supports 5 and disengaging them from the lips of the container 7 (when the device 1 is constrained to the container 7 and must be removed from it).
  • the supports 5 are elastically flexible and the device is made entirely in a single element in a plastic material.
  • the particular shape of the supports 5, together with the locking elements 26, allows the device 1 to be firmly kept on the container 7 during use.
  • the device 1 is usefully arranged such that during use, when it is rested on the open lips 70 of the container 7 containing the paint to be applied, the continuous surface 9 has an inclination a equal or greater than 45° and, more preferably, equal or greater than 70°, where the inclination ⁇ is measured with reference to the plane on which the open lips 70 of the container 7 lie ( Figure 6 ).
  • the supports 5 and/or the wings 25 and/or the edge 21 are suitable shaped for this purpose.
  • Paint is poured into the container 7 beforehand and is mixed with a solvent (normally water).
  • a solvent normally water
  • the device 1 is applied to the lips of the container 7, which has a square or rectangular shape, with open edges bent to define wide channels 30.
  • the device according to the invention can usefully be applied to a generic container having a square or rectangular shape.
  • the device 1 is applied with the supports 5 that engage the channels 30 and fasten on them thanks to their elastic properties, their shape and the presence of the locking elements 26.
  • the roller or paintbrush can be rolled or made to slide in contact with the continuous surface 9 up to the mesh 2; the roller can be pressed in correspondence to the mesh 2 to optimize the amount of paint that remains on the roller.
  • the paint removed from the roller runs along the continuous surface 9 and (guided by the protuberances 13) runs to the centre of the same continuous surface 9; this prevents the paint from falling at the sides of the continuous surface 9 with the risk of dirtying the supports 5, the container 7 or the floor.
  • the paint passes from the continuous surface 9 into the mesh 2 (preferentially close to the central zone) and, from here, the paint falls through the openings in the mesh 2 and into the container 2.
  • the device according to the invention is extremely efficient because it is equipped with a part (the continuous surface 9) on which the roller or paintbrush can be made to roll or be brushed (while being pressed against the same continuous surface 9), and a part (the mesh 2) in which the roller can be pressed, obtaining a very efficient squeezing action.
  • the squeezing action of the roller in the mesh 2 is very efficient because the mesh 2, thanks to its particular profile, is able to embrace and therefore squeeze a large portion of the roller.
  • a roller can be duly squeezed in a correct and efficient manner by passing it only two times over the continuous surface 9 and on the mesh 2 (so as to treat two roller sections of at least 180 degrees).
  • rollers or paintbrushes that are not being used can be fixed to the holders 20 and can be left suspended inside the container 7 so that any drips do not dirty the floor, but fall inside the container 7; in this regard, the continuous surface 9 and the protuberances 13 that direct the paint prevent the paint removed from the roller or paintbrush from falling and dirtying the rollers or paintbrushes hung below the continuous surface 5.
  • the device according to the invention is particularly useful because it allows a roller or paintbrush to be squeezed in an efficient manner and, in addition, guarantees high freedom of action for the user, who does not need to hold the mesh with one hand while using it.
  • the user is freed from the chore of directly holding the rollers or paintbrushes not being used in one hand or of adequately positioning them.
  • the materials used, as well as the dimensions can be of any type, according to the requirements and the state of the art.
