Abstract

Device for holding and releasing several aerosol cans

Description

Problem:

• 1.) Today, the use of aerosol or paint spray cans is very common among artists. Often hundreds of square meters of space are sprayed for artworks. Priming such a surface with conventional spray cans is a tedious and time consuming task. A maximum of two aerosol cans can currently be used (one in each hand).
• 2.) This problem can be solved so far only by spraying but not coating colors are used for large areas, which are applied with the ink roller. The disadvantage here is, firstly, that coating colors never exactly match the spray paint colors used. Second, that sprays and coatings rarely buy from a dealer. And thirdly, coating colors take longer to dry and thus must always be inserted between priming and the actual spraying a longer compulsory break.
• 3.) When spraying surfaces above the height that can be achieved from a standing position, you will have to work with a ladder.

Solution:

The invention presented here allows the simultaneous triggering of several aerosol cans. If only a maximum of two spray cans can be used so far, the invention makes it possible to use four, six or even more cans simultaneously. The invention accelerates the priming process, and coating colors can be dispensed with.

The device can be placed on a pole by means of an adapter. Thus, higher altitudes can be achieved. A ladder becomes superfluous.

Description of the invention and its features:

• 1.) The invention is a device for manual operation, with the several aerosol cans (a) can be held and triggered.
• 2.) The device is to be held with two hands, but it can be separated in the middle (f). This creates two devices that can hold each half of the spray cans, and are ever triggered with one hand. In the non-separated state, the two devices are connected either directly or through an adapter piece (f). The separation and assembly of the individual parts is easy and fast and without tools. For example with clips (g).
• 3.) The spray cans are clamped by means of elastic clips (b) below the top edge ring at the top of the spray can, or optionally on the pressure body itself.
• 4.) The manually operated release trigger (d) distributes its power to several levers (c), which in turn press on spray can heads. So with a hand movement several spray cans are triggered simultaneously.
• 5.) The levers (c) that press on the spray heads are designed so that they do not block the fastening of an aerosol can in a clamp described under 3.). Instead, they are raised by inserting a new box and placed in rest position. This is achieved by a bevel of the lever on the front (c). Alternatively, it could be realized by a return spring.
• 6.) The invention can be an adapter for a handle put on, with which you can hold them from normally unreachable surfaces. At the same time clutches are attached to the release trigger or attachable, which allow the triggering from the distance, or from the lower end of the stem, for example, by trains or linkage.

Claims (10)

Device for holding and releasing several aerosol cans Apparatus according to claim 1, which is ambidextrous and capable of receiving and discharging 4 spray cans. Apparatus according to claim 2, which can be disassembled without tools into two identical devices, each of which fulfills the function described in claim 1, but not half-four-handed four spray cans, but with one hand for two aerosol cans. Apparatus according to claim 1, which, in contrast to the apparatus described in claim 3, can be divided not into two but into three parts, two parts being functioning single devices according to claim 1, and a third part being a connecting piece between the two individual devices. Apparatus according to claim 3 or 4, which can hold a total of not four, but six or eight aerosol cans and by dividing two separate devices arise, which can hold not two, but each three or four aerosol cans. A device according to claim 1, to which a handle can be attached, and an adapter for a remote release. The remote release can be realized for example from Bowden cable, linkage or cable. An apparatus according to claim 1, characterized in that the handles and the release lever are arranged comparable to a bicycle handlebar with two brake levers. That is, the device is designed to hold it as follows: arms are outstretched, hands are in pronation, thumbs enclose the handles and carry the bulk of the weight, fingers rest on the two release levers. The curving of the fingers exerts pressure on at least two levers which press on the spray heads of the aerosol cans. An apparatus according to claim 1, which, unlike that described in claim 7, is not held in pronation, but which has two pistol grips, the triggering being the same as a gun trigger. An apparatus according to claim 7 or 8, which can be divided as described in claims 3, 4 and 5. In the undivided state, the left hand releases the aerosol cans to the left of the center, and the right hand releases the aerosol cans to the right of the center. Apparatus according to claim 1, characterized in that the levers which trigger the spray heads, are such that they do not block the loading of the device with aerosol cans. This is either realized so that ... - ... the levers are held by spring pressure in rest position. - ... are held in a resting position by gravity. - ... or the levers are provided with an oblique edge (c), which causes a lever to be pushed upwards by attaching an aerosol can from its spray head, so that the entire trigger mechanism is automatically brought to rest even without spring pressure.
