Description

The The present invention relates to a paint roller for a Paint roller. Furthermore, the present invention relates to an intermediate color roller for use with a paint roller and a paint roller.

The Use of paint rollers, a handle, one on the handle molded rod and attachable to the rod role, in particular consisting of lambskin or a foam, have, is known. In particular, with the help of such paint roller large areas such Walls and Ceilings painted. The rod is at its upper end in such a way bent so that a substantially perpendicular to the handle, straight roll axis is formed. On this a role is attachable. For painting or rolling a surface, for example a wall, the paint roller is dipped in color with the roller and then over the area to be painted guided, the role being on the surface unrolls while giving off the color. That way you can flat surfaces fast and delete it effectively.

issues However, arise when the flat surface in a relation to the flat surface Angled surface passes. This is e.g. at the transition of walls to ceilings the case. The paint application up to the transition edge is included Help from well-known paint rollers hardly with satisfactory results possible. It is therefore common such transitions first with Using a brush or a very narrow paint roller to prime, Then, in a second step, which adjoins the transition adjacent areas to delete. Through this additional Pre-coating operation will continue to prevent the Roller with its free end when brushing or rolling the transition edge the perpendicular to the surface to be machined extending second surface damaged. adversely is that the pre-painted paint is often already dried is when the second inking occurs. This can lead to an uneven paint job to lead, since the house painter the color thickness or saturation of the two successively applied surfaces not reliable compare and judge.

Farther often become different patterns or decorative multi-color combinations on walls or on surfaces applied. Even with these, the known paint rollers can be used. For example, to apply patterns, the rollers have upstanding ones and deep areas on the peripheral surface of the sheath on. If the paint roller is unrolled on the surface to be coated, only becomes paint is applied to the surface by the upstanding areas, which makes the desired Pattern is generated. The disadvantage is that a change of pattern only possible by replacing the roller is: for example, stripes of different patterns are applied must be changed in each case before the role. The same applies to the application of different colored stripes. Even then it is necessary to change the paint roller and the paint to be applied.

From the DE 198 52 865 A1 as well as the EP 0 979 684 A2 already segmented paint rollers are known in which the individual ink rollers are mounted independently of each other rotatable, so that different colors or patterns can be applied simultaneously. However, the end portion of the second roller does not contain any paint application material in these known paint rollers, so that they can not be used in the transition area between walls and ceilings.

A suitable for the edge area Eckroller is indeed already by the DE 79 27 282 U1 disclosed, wherein the additional ink roller is formed by a lid, which is clamped in the form of a loop by means of a cylindrical plug portion in the bearing bore of the roller body to allow an application of paint in the edges between abutting walls or between wall and ceiling without repainting necessary. However, due to the immediate clamping engagement, the roller and the lid are not rotatable independently of each other, which limits the possibilities of variation.

The The object of the present invention is therefore a system to create paint with which one another at an angle arranged surfaces like walls and ceilings can be painted quickly and easily. Also should the possibility of variation of a painting with regard to patterns and different colors improved or simplified. The system should be inexpensive to manufacture and on site easy and easy to use.

The Task is further solved by an intermediate roller for use with a paint roller and an additional paint roller consisting of a roller area Paint application material, as well as one in the direction of the longitudinal axis the Zwischenfarbrolle extending free thru axle and a to connecting the thru-axle, in the direction of the longitudinal axis the intermediate color roller running within the roller area Hollow shaft, into which the through axle of the additional ink roller can be inserted, wherein the paint roller has a molded to a handle rod and a roll consisting of paint application material and one by one first opening and a second opening limited and extending along a longitudinal axis of the roller Hollow shaft comprises, wherein the role plugged onto the rod is that the rod penetrates through the first opening into the hollow shaft, but not over an entire length the hollow shaft extends and the roller is rotatable about its longitudinal axis, wherein the additional color roller and the Zwischenfarbrolle independently are rotatably mounted and wherein the additional paint roller has an end portion which is surrounded by paint application material.

advantageous Further developments are the subject of the dependent claims.

The inventive paint roller for one commercial Paint roller allows a very simple and fast editing from angled flat surfaces.

Of the particular advantage of the invention is that the paint roller with inserted additional color roller according to the invention on the one hand completely on the surface to be painted can be placed and thus the two roles at the same time and in the same speed and direction on the to be painted area Roll on the other hand, the paint roller are also performed in such a way can that only the additional color roller contact with the to be deleted area Has. So it can, for example, first by oblique touchdown the paint roller or by placing only the additional paint roller of direct area of the transition edge and already in the opposite stroke by fully putting on the paint roller of the adjoining the direct transition area area deleted become. The additional Operation of the priming with the help of another coating tool can thus be omitted. Irregularities due to differently dried layers of paint, as in the painting and temporally offset further stroking arise also avoided.

Should the additional color role primarily for processing transitions between serve two angled surfaces, it is advantageous when the paint roller has the same roll material as the paint roller itself. The use of lambskin has proven to be proved particularly advantageous, since due to the relatively long Hair or fibers overlap the materials of the additional paint roller and the roller of the paint roller results and thus forming a gap between the two Roles excluded or minimized. This overlap can be promoted by: For example, lambskin rolls lambskin arranged in such a way is that the hair is aligned respectively towards the other role are. With the help of the additional paint roller, the free end of the paint roller is completely through the color-applying medium, such as lambskin formed. A damaging of surfaces by knocking the free end is thus excluded.

The invention Additional ink roller is also particularly advantageous use, when different alternating patterns or colors are applied should be. In case of different patterns, the additional paint roller according to have a different pattern than the role of the paint roller. If different, alternating colors are desired, can the additional paint roller with a different color than the roller of the paint roller be charged. In both cases can be the use of a spacer between the additional paint roller and the role of the paint roller. Such a spacer For example, can be pushed onto the thru axle of the additional ink roller are then then inserted into the hollow shaft of the roller becomes. Also, a distance can be generated by the thru axle a length has, which exceeds the free cavity within the hollow shaft and thus keeps the additional paint roller at a distance.

In order to facilitate the processing of different colors, the color can be applied to the additional color roller and the roller of the paint roller with the aid of a specially adapted bath. The tub has two basins, separated by a partition wall are separated from each other. In the basins different color can be filled, which is each taken from a roll, the paint roller is pulled through the tub so that the additional ink roller is guided on one side of the partition and the role of the paint roller on the other side of the partition.

A inventive intermediate color roller has on one side also a thru axle, which in the hollow shaft of Roll of color roller is inserted. Other end is a hollow shaft provided for receiving the thru axle of the additional paint roller. Consequently results in an arbitrarily expandable system for different patterns and colors.

Also can be provided that the role of the paint roller in the end her the Zusatzfarbrolle facing side a smaller diameter as at the other end. The additional color roller is then appropriate cup-shaped perform, so that they are in the inserted state over the tapered area the role extends.

The Additional color roller can also be made of two or more individual segments consist. These individual segments form, based on the cross section the additional color roller, in each case a circle segment of the additional color roller, so that several individual segments give a complete additional color role. Thus, the user has another variation possibility, for example in View of the composition of the samples or materials.

The inventive paint roller for one Paint roller is a matter of course not just for painting surfaces intended in the sense of painting in or on buildings, but is suitable also to carry out other activities. For example, could correspondingly smaller rolls with different patterns for painting be used by pictures. This is in particular to a use thought by children due to the variations Such a plug-in system can create a variety of patterns.
