Abstract

The invention relates to a glue stick with a semi-solid, abradable adhesive which can be combined with other containers, in particular adhesive containers. This is done by another container, a tube or bottle with a container neck, engages and is coupled to a arranged on the glue pin end portion closure and connection part. In this case, the axially arranged closure and connection part, preferably in the adhesive pin twist grip, provided with a Ausnehmumg for a container neck. As a result, the container to be combined can be releasably closed and at the same time coupled to the adhesive pin, or connected to it. For example, an adhesive container with liquid adhesive can be bonded to the adhesive pin with semi-solid adhesive to always have the right adhesive for moving adhesive work. But there are other combination options, such. B. with special adhesives, on. In addition, storage is simplified with such a combination and the number of individual adhesive containers is reduced.

Description

Numerous adhesive containers are today known for a wide variety of adhesive work. Depending on the requirements, the adhesives and containers have a different composition, consistency and shape. Adhesives are offered in cylindrical containers, cans, tubes or bottles with appropriate sampling devices.

For many surface bonds, especially for paper and cardboard, in particular cylindrical glue sticks with semi-solid, abradable adhesive are suitable for surface application. In this case, one end part is designed as a rotary handle and the other end part as a cap. After removing the cap, a piston or a nut with a semi-solid adhesive disposed thereon in cylindrical form is guided by movement of the rotary handle and a threaded spindle arranged thereon. The rotary handle is rotated until the semi-solid adhesive body projects beyond the cylindrical container in order to be able to be abraded at the splice. With the rotary handle, the adhesive body can thus be rotated arbitrarily up and down in the glue stick container. After turning back the glue stick container can be closed again. In this way, the glue stick has a long life. Flat adhesive work with the semi-solid adhesive is very precise and clean due to its uniform abrasion.

Small adhesive work, punctiform or linear bonds, but so are difficult to do. For this purpose, the well-known and widespread adhesive tubes or bottles with liquid adhesive or solvent adhesive are better to handle. In particular, this makes it possible to stick selectively and linearly by removing the adhesive from the small removal opening on the container neck. By pressure on the tube or bottle, or simply by turning the container over and holding the container opening to the splice, the liquid adhesive is released. The container neck with removal opening is often designed with a screw-lock possibility. For adhesive bonding, however, these adhesive containers are not so suitable, unless one manages a little awkward, with a spatula or the like.

Another type of adhesive container with liquid adhesive or adhesive solvent is known, with which one can stick both punctiform, linear, as well as flat.

In connection with this, the following patents have been found:

This invention describes a liquid adhesive or solvent adhesive container having a container neck with a dispensing opening, a cap, and a porous material applicator. These types of adhesive containers are now very common and in different configurations. To the container neck of the adhesive tube or bottle while the brush is slidably disposed. As long as the brush is not pushed up, can be released from the removal opening at the top of the container neck of the liquid adhesive to the splice. However, if you want to glue flat, you push the scraper upwards, towards the removal opening. Thus, then the wider brush can pick up the pressed out adhesive and transferred to a splice. While some of the above applications describe a porous screed, these scrapers are today of non-absorbent material with a smooth surface. Thus, in one embodiment, it is possible by means of rotation to screw up the lapping member guided over the container neck, while in another embodiment the lapping member is simply pushed up. In all of these embodiments, some aspects still remain disadvantageous.

So the scraper remains glued after the first use, which in the long run may have a detrimental effect.

It can also happen that adhesive undesirably gets to the user's hands. Likewise, in the metering of the liquid adhesive, the surface bonding, a uniform adhesive application sometimes difficult to achieve because sometimes more and sometimes less liquid adhesive can escape. Then you can see heights and valleys when applying the adhesive. This has a particularly negative effect on the bonding of thin papers when the adhesive application breaks through. However, a fringe or a type of engraving in the adhesive film is also disadvantageous due to the hard edge regions of the lapping member, if the adhesive container is not held exactly vertically.

Overall, there are many adhesive containers, with liquid and semi-solid adhesives, for different types of adhesives and adhesives, but there are no adhesive containers or combinations that summarize advantageous adhesives and containers to allow differentiated bonding.

The invention specified in protective claim 1 is therefore based on the problem:
Advantageous adhesives and types for different gluing work in a combination. To provide opportunities for different combinations. Allow additions of a glue stick with other containers and contents in a combination container. To reduce the variety of existing adhesives and containers and to simplify the storage.

This problem is solved with the features listed in protection claim 1.

With the invention of a glue stick with a closing or connecting element, a combination possibility with other containers and adhesives is created. This can z. B. be effected with a combination punctual, linear or surface bonding with the appropriate adhesives. But it can also so, when combined with a special adhesive, eg. As wood glue, completely different materials are glued. For on the way and for work to be done quickly, the combination option means time savings and expediency.

Thus, the summary in a combination container makes sense and the variety of adhesive containers can be reduced and the storage can be improved.

An advantageous embodiment of the invention provides for a combination of the glue stick with an adhesive container with liquid adhesive. Here, according to the invention, the glue stick with semi-solid adhesive with an adhesive container, a -tube or bottle, with liquid adhesive already commercially available and sale as an adhesive-container combination offered.

In this case, the closure and connecting element is preferably arranged in the adhesive pin turning handle, or the adhesive pin turning handle is designed as a closure and connecting element.

In this case, the container neck with the removal opening of the container with the liquid adhesive is releasably received in the recess of the closure and connecting element in the glue stick rotary handle.

Especially the rotary handle of a conventional adhesive stick lends itself to such a configuration, since the turning handles of a glue stick already have a cylindrical Ausnehmumg, in which a closure and connecting element is well absorbable or usable. In this case, the closure and connecting element and the recess for the container neck of a container to be combined can be designed similar to a conventional cap.

The arrangement for the adhesive pin, the closure and connecting element and the recess takes place in a centered axial arrangement.

The adhesive cap can serve as a base in the storage of the resulting combination container, which is advantageous in that the liquid adhesive of the coupled container is then always in the region of the removal opening.

If the adhesive cap is removed, the semi-solid adhesive body can be pushed out of the adhesive pin by turning the rotary handle with or without the adhesive container attached, in order to perform a surface bonding.

Advantageously, this even affects when an adhesive container is still coupled, since you can use this adhesive container as an extension of the twist grip.

But it is also possible to remove the other adhesive container with liquid adhesive from the closure in order to glue it at the same time. The combination containers can therefore be used individually and simultaneously for gluing. This also gives the possibility, if an adhesive container is empty to replace it with another.

The embodiment is based on the 1 . 2 . 3 and 4 shown.

In 1 are in cross section the glue stick ( 1 ) and a combined container ( 2 ) detached from each other, or decoupled shown. The container neck with removal opening ( 7 ) is from the on the rotary handle ( 4 ) arranged closure and connecting element ( 3 ) solved. The glue stick ( 1 ) is with the adhesive cap ( 13 ) closed.

2 in cross-section the glue stick ( 1 ) connected to another container or coupled, while the container neck ( 7 ) of the adhesive tube or bottle ( 1 ) into the receiving opening ( 5 ) of the closure or Verbindungselments ( 3 ), which in the rotary handle ( 4 ) is arranged.

In 3 can be seen in cross section, as the cap ( 13 ) is released from the glue stick part. The on a stamp ( 10 ) arranged semi-solid adhesive body ( 11 ) is pushed out and ready to glue, while the coupled container ( 2 ) closed is.

4 clearly shows the detachable parts of a combination option. The loosened cap of the glue stick ( 13 ) the glue stick ( 1 ) with the pushed-out glue stick body ( 11 ) around the threaded spindle ( 9 ) on a piston ( 10 ) is arranged. Connected to the threaded spindle is the rotary handle ( 4 ), on which the closure and connecting element ( 3 ) with a recess ( 5 ) for the container neck ( 7 ) of the container ( 2 ) is arranged.

Another embodiment of the invention provides that not the rotary handle of the glue stick is designed as a closure and connecting element for another container, but that the cylindrical cap of the glue stick is extended and configured as a closure of a container. This is done in such a way that the cylindrical cap has two axially opposite openings with an inside partition. So that the adhesive cap has a mirror image of a closure and connection element for the container neck of a container. The resulting double cap thus shows in cross-section an H-shaped contour, wherein a portion of Ausnehmumg or the closure element for the container neck of a container. This can be inserted and closed on one side of the cap of the glue stick and on the opposite side of the container neck with removal opening, a combined container, are recorded and closed. The double closure can be designed both screwable and pluggable.

The embodiment is based on the 5 and 6 shown. 5 shows in this embodiment, a closed combination of glue stick and a container, with a arranged at the end of the container rotary handle ( 4 ). The two parts, the Klebstift- and the container, with the approximately centrally arranged double-lock and connecting element ( 14 ) connected and coupled.

6 shows the in 5 described embodiment with the detached parts of the combination. Here, in the middle part of the double-lock ( 14 ) with the cross-sectionally H-shaped contour and the closure arranged on one side ( 5 ) for the container.

A further embodiment of the invention offers to equip already in trade and sale a combination of a glue stick with an adhesive container for wood, plastic, or metal bonds. This would be appropriate for more complex work in which a variety of work to do in one operation. Eg in modeling for architecture, model airplanes.

The contents of the glue stick and the combined container can also be used for other areas. Thus, the glue stick could be filled with a substance other than the previously known adhesives and combined with associated containers and liquids. In still other embodiments of the invention, it is possible to couple additional containers or releasably connect with container parts. It would also be possible to arrange further aids or accessories on the adhesive container.

An embodiment according to the invention provides, for example, an adhesive pin, with a closure arranged in the adhesive pin end part, preferably in the twist grip. This adhesive pin with inside, preferably screwable closure allows any container with a corresponding receptacle on the container neck, releasably receive and dock. This of course also gives the opportunity to exchange used containers arbitrarily.

Furthermore, it is according to the invention, the closure cap of the adhesive to design so that outside it has a possibility with which they can be connected with another container z. B. an adhesive pin can be axially coupled or connected.

A much reduced solution is also provided according to the invention. In this case, the closure and connecting element is provided as a retrofittable additional part. With this retrofittable closure and connecting element, it is possible to use an existing, commercial glue stick or a container, eg. B. convert an adhesive tube or bottle so that you can connect or attach another container. The retrofittable closure and connecting element is designed so that it can be fitted accurately, for example, in the opening of a rotary handle and preferably, at least in a partial area, has a splice for better support. Like a commercially available cap, it has a recess which allows a releasable threaded or pluggable connection with the container neck of a container. Likewise, this is possible according to the invention with a double closure and connecting element with a, in its cross-section H-shaped contour. In this case, the adhesive end portion is taken with removal opening on one side and on the other side of the container neck of a container. The containers are so connected axially and detachably.

The descriptions illustrate the advantages of the invention. An adhesive stick is advantageously usable in the surface bonding, whereas it is not so well suited for punctual and linear bonds. For this purpose, other adhesives z. B. liquid Adhesives in tubes or bottles can be used better and more precisely.

The variety of surfaces, materials and fabrics often requires different types of adhesives and types.

The invention here provides a way to meet the variety of requirements for today's gluing work by providing opportunities for combination and variation. The closure and connection element according to the invention makes this possible and creates the prerequisite for this.

Also in terms of clarity and time savings in adhesive work, the invention of a glue pin with closure and connecting element, an improvement.

In an age in which many people travel a lot and half of the office is taken on trips, combination solutions are also useful in the area of adhesive containers.

Because it allows the reduction of adhesive utensils while practical, easy transportable use in private and professional life.
