Abstract

1. Colour applicator, especially for application of correction fluids on machine paper, drawings, photographics and photocopies, characterized in that the applicator (1) consists of a closed-cell plastic material with rough surface absorbing the paint to be applied.

Description

.Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen Appliaktor zur Farbübertragung gemäss der Gattung des Patentanspruches 1.The invention relates to an applicator for color transfer according to the preamble of claim 1.

Als Applikatoren zur Farbübertragung sind Pinselchen bekannt. Diese haben für den Auftrag von Korrekturflüssigkeit auf _Schreibpapier, Zeichnungen, Fotos und Fotokopien den Nachteil, dass kleinste Flächen, wie Punkt und Komma, nicht sauber und nicht mit der nötigen Sicherheit abgedeckt werden können. Weiterhin zeigt das Pinselchen bereits nach kurzem Gebrauch schon ein quastenartiges Aussehen, da sich die Pinselhärchen -auseinanderdrücken.Brushes are known as applicators for color transfer. The disadvantage of applying correction fluid on writing paper, drawings, photos and photocopies is that the smallest areas, such as periods and commas, cannot be covered cleanly and cannot be covered with the necessary security. Furthermore, the brush shows a tassel-like appearance after only a short use, because the brush hairs are pressed apart.

Der Erfindung liegt von daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Applikator zur Farbübertragung der gattungsgemässen Art zu schaffen, mit dem auch kleinste Flächen mit der nötigen Sicherheit mittels Korrekturflüssigkeit abgedeckt werden können, wobei eine Veränderung des Applikators durch den Gebrauch vermieden werden soll.The invention is therefore based on the object of providing an applicator for color transfer of the generic type, with which even the smallest areas can be covered with the necessary security by means of correction fluid, a change in the applicator being avoided through use.

Die Lösung dieser Aufgabe ergibt sich aus dem kennzeichnenden Merkmal des Patentanspruches 1. Das geschlossenzellige Kunststoffmaterial erhält durch mechanische Bearbeitung kleinste Ver- .tiefungen an seinem Aussenumfang, in welche sich die Korrekturflüssigkeit oder andere farbstofftragende Flüssigkeiten absetzen können. Ein Eindringen der Korrekturflüssigkeit oder anderer farbstofftragenden Flüssigkeiten in den Applikator ist durch dessen geschlossenzellige Struktur unmöglich. Der erfindungsgemässe Applikator kann also auch nicht versehentlich ausgedrückt werden, wie es bei einem Pinsel ähnlich einem Schwammeffekt möglich ist. Ein Kleckern und Klecksen der Korrekturflüssigkeit wird somit verhindert. Als Fabrträger dienen somit die insbe--sondere bei der Herstellung angefrästen Poren an dem Aussenumfang des Applikators. Die Grösse der angefrästen Poren bzw. Zellen bestimmt die Menge der aufnehmbaren Farbe. Der Applikator kann nach dem eventuellen Antrocknen der Korrekturflüssigkeit oder Farbe leicht durch deren Abblättern -gereinigt werden.The solution to this problem results from the characterizing feature of patent claim 1. The closed-cell plastic material is given the smallest recesses on its outer circumference by mechanical processing, into which the correction fluid or other dye-carrying liquids can settle. Penetration of the correction liquid or other dye-bearing liquids into the applicator is impossible due to its closed-cell structure. The applicator according to the invention can therefore also not be inadvertently expressed, as is possible with a brush similar to a sponge effect. This prevents the correction fluid from spilling and spilling. The pores on the outer circumference of the applicator, which are milled in particular during manufacture, thus serve as fabric carriers. The size of the milled pores or cells determines the amount of color that can be absorbed. The applicator can be easily cleaned by peeling it off after the correction liquid or ink has dried.

Als geschlossenzelliges Kunststoffmaterial findet insbesondere geschlossenzelliger Polyäther, Polyesterschaumstoff oder Gummi auf Neoprenbasis Verwendung.Closed cell polyether, polyester foam or rubber based on neoprene are used in particular as the closed cell plastic material.

Bedingt durch die Art des Materials, d.h. des geschlossen--zelligen Kunststoffmaterials kann an den Applikator eine bleistiftartige Spitze angearbeitet werden. Mittels der Spitze ist es möglich, auch kleinste Flächen abzudecken. Die bisher verwendeten Pinselchen sind zu weich und können nur grossflächig eingesetzt werden.Due to the type of material, i.e. of the closed - cell plastic material, a pencil - like tip can be worked on the applicator. With the tip, it is possible to cover even the smallest areas. The brushes used so far are too soft and can only be used over a large area.

-Der erfindungsgemässe Applikator besitzt insbesondere die Eigenschaft, jeweils gleiche Flüssigkeitsmengen aufzunehmen bzw. einem Behälter, insbesondere für Korrekturflüssigkeit, zu entnehmen. Daher kann ein sich sonst im Vorratsbehälter befindender, für das Pinselchen notwendiger -Abstreifer entfallen.The applicator according to the invention has the property, in particular, of taking up the same amount of liquid or removing it from a container, in particular for correction liquid. Therefore, a wiper that is otherwise located in the storage container and is necessary for the brush can be dispensed with.

Die Erfindung ist nachfolgend anhand eines in der einzigen Figur dargestellten Ausführungsbeispieles eines Applikators näher erläutert. Die einzige Figur zeigt eine Ansicht des Applikators.The invention is explained in more detail below with reference to an embodiment of an applicator shown in the single figure. The only figure shows a view of the applicator.

-Der Applikator 1 aus geschlossenzelligem Kunststoffmaterial, das insbesondere durch seine Herstellung angefräste Poren bzw. Zellen besitzt, ist am freien Ende eines Schaftes 2 auf einem am Schaft 2 angebrachten Kern 3 festaufgeschoben, der dem Applikator 1 einerseits einen festen Halt gewährleistet, jedoch andererseits eine genaue Führung beim -Flüssigkeitsauftrag gewährleistet. Der Schaft2ist am anderen Ende mit einem Verbindungsstück 4 versehen, das insbesondere in den Deckel eines nicht dargestellten Behälters für Korrekturflüssigkeit eingesetzt wird.-The applicator 1 made of closed-cell plastic material, the pores milled in particular by its manufacture or has cells, is firmly pushed onto the free end of a shaft 2 on a core 3 attached to the shaft 2, which on the one hand ensures a firm hold for the applicator 1, but on the other hand ensures precise guidance when applying the liquid. The shaft 2 is provided at the other end with a connecting piece 4, which is used in particular in the lid of a container for correction fluid, not shown.

Der Applikator 1 besitzt eine rauhe Oberfläche, die ins--besondere durch Herausfräsen der Kontur erzielt wird. Der Applikator 1 besitzt ferner eine bleistiftartige Spitze 5 zum feinen, punktförmigen Flüssigkeitsauftrag bzw. zur Abdeckung kleinster Flächen.The applicator 1 has a rough surface, which is achieved in particular by milling out the contour. The applicator 1 also has a pencil-like tip 5 for fine, punctiform application of liquid or for covering the smallest areas.

Durch die Rauheit der Oberfläche des Applikators 1 ist die -an diesem haftende Flüssigkeitsmenge, die einem Vorratsbehälter entnommen wird, immer konstant. Durch die immer konstant am Applikator 1 anhaftende Flüssigkeitsmenge kann ein sonst notwendiger Abstreifer im Vorratsbehälter enfallen.Due to the roughness of the surface of the applicator 1, the amount of liquid adhering to it, which is removed from a storage container, is always constant. Due to the constant amount of liquid adhering to the applicator 1, an otherwise necessary wiper can be dispensed with in the storage container.

Die Verwendung des erfindungsgemässen Applikators ist auch -bei anderen Farbstoffe tragenden Flüssigkeiten möglich.The applicator according to the invention can also be used in the case of other liquids carrying dyes.
