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 Applikator zur Farbübertragung gemäss der Gattung des Anspruches 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, since the brush hairs spread apart.

Andere bekannte Applikatoren bestehen aus offenporjgem Kunststoff- oder Metall-Schwamm, der von innen her mit der betreffenden Flüssigkeit getränkt wird (s. z. B. US-A-2 481 803 und 2081 101, FR-A-2192918 und DE-C-431 521).Other known applicators consist of an open-pored plastic or metal sponge which is impregnated with the liquid in question from the inside (see, for example, US Pat. Nos. 2,481,803 and 2,081,101, FR-A-2192918 and DE-C-431 521 ).

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 Korrekturflüssigkelt 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 Anspruches 1. Das geschlossenzellige Kunststoffmaterial erhält durch mechanische Bearbeitung kleinste Vertiefungen an seinem Aussenumfang, in welche sich die Korrekturflüssigkeit oder andere farbstofftragende Flüssigkeiten absetzen können. Ein Eindringen der Korrekturflüsslgkeit oder anderer farbstoffiragenden Flüssigkeiten in den Applikator ist durch dessen geschlossenzellige Struktur unmöglich. Der erfindungsgemässe Applikator kann alsp 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 Farbträger dienen somit die insbesondere 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 claim 1. The closed-cell plastic material receives the smallest recesses on its outer circumference through mechanical processing, into which the correction fluid or other dye-carrying liquids can settle. Penetration of the correction liquid or other dye-containing liquids into the applicator is impossible due to its closed-cell structure. The applicator according to the invention can also not be inadvertently expressed as p, 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 production, thus serve as the color carrier. 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 paint has dried.

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

Bedingt durch die Art des Materials, d. h. des geschlossenzelligen 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.Depending on the type of material, i.e. H. 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 equal amounts of liquid or of taking it out of a container, in particular for correction liquid. Therefore, a wiper which 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 Schaft 2 ist 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, which in particular has milled pores or cells due to its manufacture, 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 an accurate one Guidance when applying liquid guaranteed. 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 insbesondere 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 hadtende Flüssigkeitsmenge, die einem Vorratsbehälter entnommen wird, immer konstant. Durch die immer konstant am Applikator 1 anhaftende Flüssigkeitsmenge kann ein sonst notwendiger Abstreifer im Vorratsbehälter entfallen.Due to the roughness of the surface of the applicator 1, the amount of liquid that is present in the applicator and 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 in the reservoir can be dispensed with.

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