Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a cover provided with a pourer of the "guillotine" type with variable flow rate, which can in particular be fitted to the base shade boxes used for automobile bodies and which are used in stirring machines.
  • Lids of this type include a pouring spout, the opening edge of which is strictly flat.
  • the pull tab that is applied to the spout is also flat and slides over the edge of the spout when you pull its operating lever to pour the paint.
  • an air vent there may be placed on the wall of the cover, behind the agitator axis, an air vent, the flat upper part of which comes under the pull tab and in the sliding plane. of it.
  • the pull tab is further shaped to close said chimney in the rest position and open it in the service position, thereby facilitating the pouring of paint.
  • the pull tab may include a median longitudinal lumen of width equal to the diameter of the sleeve or guide sleeve of the agitator axis, which surrounds the latter and the outer or rear end of which abuts in the rest position on the sleeve, said lumen opening the ventilation chimney in the service position.
  • This opening of the ventilation chimney, during the pouring of paint, ensures the atmosphere in the box and therefore regulates the flow of pouring and allows better dosing precision.
  • the pull tab can be connected to the actuation lever by a fold formed at its end, which penetrates into a lumen provided at the corner of the two branches of the actuation lever and cooperates with the lower edge of the lumen of said lever.
  • the articulation connection of the actuating lever can be achieved by simple pressing of the end of its ascending branch on the bottom of a cavity formed on the cover.
  • This cavity has a V-shaped section, one of the walls of which is vertical and forms a stop forwards for the ascending branch of the lever returned to the rest position by means of said helical springs.
  • the other wall is inclined for the rotation movement of the actuating lever.
  • the cover according to the invention is intended to be mounted in leaktight manner on a paint can 1 for a stirring machine by by means of conventional cam locking devices 3, which act on the internal rim 5 of the box.
  • This cover includes a propeller agitator 7, of vertical axis, which is connected to it by a guide sleeve 9 and which is rotated by the drive device 11 of the stirring machine (by fork or by pinions) .
  • the spout 13 emerges in the outer lateral part of the cover and is slightly raised relative to the upper wall of the latter, so as to facilitate the flow of paint.
  • the opening of the spout has a dihedral section and the flat opening edge 15 receives a pull tab 17, which is slidably mounted above.
  • This zipper 17 closes the spout 13 in the rest position (FIGS. 1 and 2) and is actuated in opening during pouring (FIGS. 3 and 4) by means of an actuating lever 19 provided with a terminal trigger 21 , which authorizes the removal of the cover with one hand on the stirring machine.
  • the pull tab 17 is pressed against the edge 15 of the pouring spout by a flat spring 23 fixed to the cover at its rear part by a screw 25 tightened on a trigger guard 27 just before the agitator axis 7.
  • the flat spring 23 has lateral ears 29 which descend vertically along each of the lateral edges of the pull tab 17, and a front wing 31 of rounded section which presses on the pull tab.
  • Two helical springs 33 substantially parallel and arranged under the lateral edges of the zipper, are hooked, on the one hand, to the lower ends of the ears 29 and, on the other hand, to cut parts 35 at the rear of the zipper . These springs apply a return force to the ears 29, which generates a torque on the flat spring 23 relative to its point of attachment.
  • the pull tab 17 is connected to the actuation lever 19 by a rear downward fold 37 formed perpendicular to its main plane.
  • This fold 37 enters a longitudinal opening 39 formed between the two lever arms 19 and cooperates by sliding contact with the rounded lower edge 41 of this light.
  • the actuating lever 19 is articulated to the cover by simple sliding contact of its lower end 43 of section also rounded on the bottom of a cavity 45 of V-shaped section.
  • This cavity 45 has a first vertical wall 47, on which bears in abutment the ascending branch 49 of the actuating lever in the rest position, and a second inclined wall 51 which allows the rotational movement of the lever 19.
  • This rotation has as its axis the end 43 of the lever 19 which rotates in the bottom of the cavity 45.
  • the pull tab 17 is naturally pulled which slides on the edge 15 of the pouring spout and under the flat spring 23. In doing so, the helical springs 33 and the torque applied to the flat spring 23 is increased.
  • the front wing 31 therefore presses more on the pull tab 17. It can therefore be seen that, by means of the flat spring thus designed, a progressive plating of the pull tab on its edge is carried out as it is opened and this contributes to effectively clearing the paint on the edge after pouring, as soon as it returns to closure.
  • the pull tab further comprises a median longitudinal lumen 53 of width equal to the diameter of the sleeve 9 of the agitator axis and which surrounds the latter.
  • This lumen 53 is formed so that its rounded rear end 55 comes into abutment on the sleeve 9 of the agitator axis in the rest position, thus limiting the forward movement of the pull tab 17. Its length is expected to be fairly large. to allow the maximum clearance of the zipper and therefore ensure that its front end is at a sufficient distance from the fixing bridge 27 of the flat spring 23.
  • This light 53 also guides the translational movement of the zipper 17, in addition to the conventional side cheeks 57 of the spout, and as the latter slides under the flat spring 23, it has no other possible movement than that of the translation in the plane of the edge of the spout.
  • the actuating lever 19 cannot have any other movement than that of rotation to drive the pull tab 17. In particular, being retained by the rear fold 37 of the pull tab, it cannot escape from the cavity 45.
  • the cover includes an aeration chimney 59 at the rear of the agitator axis, which is closed by the zipper in the rest position, thus isolating the contents of the box, and which is opened by the light 53 of the pull tab in the service position ( Figure 4).
  • This chimney 59 relatively distant from the pouring spout, facilitates the entry of air in service and, consequently, regulates the pouring rate of the paint.
  • the cover is made from plastic molding and the zipper is made of steel.
  • An additional rigidity of the structure is advantageously provided in the central part to support the agitator axis and the fixing point of the flat spring. This is obtained by grouping the fixing bridge 27 of the flat spring and the ventilation chimney 59 around the central sleeve 9 receiving the stirring axis.
  • This socket possibly interchangeable, made of high density polyethylene, prevents the paint from sticking to the stirrer rod.
  • the sticking of the paint at the level of the zipper can be prevented by coating it with an anti-adhesive treatment, for example in polytetrafluoroethylene which also improves the sealing of closure of the zipper on the spout.
