Abstract

A non-collapsible, disposable container for use with a paint spray gun or the like, said container provided with a one-valve to allow air to enter the container but prevent paint from exiting the container through said valve.

Description

SPRAY GUN RECEPTACLE
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to disposable containers for accommodating paint or other substances. The invention is particularly applicable although not limited to use with spray guns and especially paint spray guns.
A paint spray gun comprises a manifold communicating with a source of fluid under pressure - for example, compressed air - and with a nozzle through which the paint is dispensed, and with a paint container attached to the manifold. Paint is introduced into the manifold so that paint droplets become entrained in the air flowing therethrough and exit the nozzle as a spray. The paint container may be attached above the manifold so that the paint is introduced into the manifold by gravity flow or underneath, in which case a tube is provided which extends into the container to siphon paint from the container into the manifold.
A problem with this arrangement is that the container must be cleaned after each use, so that the paint residue does not contaminate contents of the container in a subsequent application. For example, if the gun is to be used with paints of different colours at different times, the container must be cleaned after each use to ensure that no paint residue is left behind which would discolour or otherwise contaminate the paint used in a subsequent application. Cleaning the container is time-consuming and not always completely successful.
One approach to the foregoing problem has been to provide a disposable liner for the container. An example may be found in Canadian application no.2,277,096.
In this arrangement, the liner is made to be collapsible so that as the volume of paint diminishes during use of the gun, the volume of the liner also diminishes, whereby internal vacuum is avoided. This necessitates a relatively expensive fabrication process for the liner which results in a relatively costly product.

BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention seeks to improve upon these prior art arrangements by providing a non-collapsible container which is disposable and which does not require the extra complexity and cost of a separate collapsible liner.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
Referring to the drawings:
Figure 1 shows a gravity flow paint spray gun to which the invention may be applied;
Figures 2A and 2B show a first embodiment of the invention; and Figures 3A and 3B show a second embodiment of the invention.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION.
A gravity flow paint spray gun is schematically shown in Figure 1. The gun 10 comprises a manifold 12 communicating with a fitting 14 which is adapted for connection to a compressed air supply hose (not shown). The manifold 12 also communicates with a nozzle 16. A trigger (also not shown) is provided to open or close the compressed air supply to the manifold 12. A paint container 18 is attached to a fitting 20 on the manifold 12. When the trigger is depressed, compressed air flows through the manifold and draws paint from the container through the fitting 20 so that paint droplets become entrained in the air and exit the nozzle 16 as a spray.
Figure 2A shows a disposable container 180 according to one embodiment of the invention, the container having a closed bottom 182 and an open top 184. A one-way valve 186 is provided so that air can enter the container but paint cannot exit the container.
Figure 2B shows a reusable cover or lid 188 for the container 180. The cover is provided with a fitting 200 for attachment to the fitting 20 on the spray gun which may, for example, be a bayonet fitting. The cover 188 is provided with a gasket 202 around its periphery 204.
In use, the container is charged with paint and the periphery 204 of the cover is then placed over the open top 184 of the container and secured thereto, with the gasket 202 serving to provide a seal between the cover and the container. If desired, a filter (not shown) may be placed in the mouth of the cover to prevent any contaminants in the paint from being introduced into the spray gun. The attachment of the cover to the container can be by any conventional means such as by providing the cover and the container with complementary bayonet fittings or screw threads. Once the cover is secured and sealed to the container, the spray gun may be introduced to the cover by turning the gun upside down and engaging the fitting 20 with the fitting 200. Once the fittings 20 and 200 are securely engaged, the spray gun and container may safely be inverted to provide the orientation shown in Figure 1, without leakage of paint from the container. After use of the container in the foregoing embodiment, it is simply removed from the spray gun, detached from the cover and discarded.
In an alternative embodiment shown in Figures 3A and 3B, the cover (including a fitting 300 for attachment to the spray gun fitting 20 analogously to the fitting 200 of Figure 1B) and the container are formed as an integral unit 280, with a filter (not shown) provided at the junction between the cover and the container for a similar purpose to that of the previous embodiment. The entire unit 280 is disposable. In this case, the container is provided with a bottom part 282 which is reusable and which may, for example, be secured to the container by means of complementary screw threads provided on the container and the reusable bottom. The bottom 282 is provided with a one-way valve 286 for the same purpose as the one-way valve 186 of Figure 2A. This embodiment has the advantage that the unit 280 can be secured to the spray gun with the latter in its normal orientation - i.e., with the container and cover inverted on top of the spray gun - the container can be charged with paint and the unit 280 then sealed by application of the bottom part 282 thereto. After use of the container in the foregoing embodiment, it is simply removed from the spray gun, the bottom part 282 detached therefrom and kept for re-use, and the unit 280 discarded.
As noted above, an advantage of the present invention is that the container need not be made collapsible, by virtue of the one-way valve. The use of a rigid container also provides the advantage that the container can either be disposed of after each use or stored and re-used when the same paint colour is to be applied with each use of the container. For example, a number of containers could be stored and re-used a number of times before eventual disposal, each one dedicated to a specific paint colour. This would provide additional cost-savings,

Claims (3)

1. A non-collapsible, disposable container for use with a paint spray gun or the like, said container provided with a one-valve to allow air to enter the container but prevent paint from exiting the container through said valve.
