Definitions

  • the invention relates to a container, in particular a paint bucket, said bucket consisting of a bottom and a substantially cylindrical wall which near its upper edge is provided with means which may cooperate with a lid for closing the bucket.
  • Suchlike buckets are applied at a large scale in various dimensions.
  • an auxiliary wall extends around the wall of the bucket or can be applied onto said wall, said auxiliary wall together with the wall of the bucket forming a space open at its upper end and closed at its lower end, in which space paint can be received which has run over the upper rim of the bucket.
  • the plane in which the upper rim of the auxiliary wall is present is positioned at some distance below the plane in which the upper rim of the bucket is lying. Generally speaking this distance will be at least 10 mm.
  • a simple embodiment is obtained when the auxiliary wall is cylindrical and extends itself till the bottom of the bucket, a number of supporting ribs being provided between the auxiliary wall and the wall of the bucket.
  • auxiliary wall can be executed thin and nevertheless remains in the right position in respect of the wall of the bucket so that the bucket can be picked up by means of the auxiliary wall.
  • the supporting ribs are formed by strips running in the axial direction of the bucket. It is, however, also possible to bend the upper rim of the auxiliary wall inwardly and to provide this bent portion with recesses, the remaining lips being connected to the wall of the bucket.
  • the upper wall portion of the bucket which upper portion is provided with the upper edge and with the means which may cooperate with a lid, will have a smaller diameter than the lower wall portion of the bucket, a transition portion being present between the upper and the lower wall portion, said auxiliary wall extending upwardly and around this transition portion to form the space in which paint can be received.
  • transition portion simultaneously may form the auxiliary wall.
  • the auxiliary wall together with the wall portion present at its lower side and being directed towards the wall of the bucket is executed as a separate portion and can be sealingly clamped onto the wall of the bucket.
  • the paint bucket shown in the Figs. 1 and 2 comprises the bottom 1, a substantially cylindrical wall 2 connected to said bottom 1 and being provided with means 4 near its upper edge 3 such that the bucket can be closed by means of a not shown lid.
  • a substantially cylindrical auxiliary wall 5 is provided around said cylindrical wall 2 and also is connected to said bottom 1, a number of ribs 6 being provided between the walls 2 and 5.
  • the ribs 6 substantially are running in axial direction.
  • the upper rim 7 of the ribs 6 ends at some distance below the plane 8 in which the upper rim 9 of the auxiliary wall 5 is positioned. By this it is prevented that when a drop of paint is falling on the upper rim 7 of a rib 6 this might run over the upper rim 9 of the auxiliary wall 5 and soil the outer surface of the auxiliary wall 5.
  • the distance between the plane 8 in which the upper rim of the auxiliary wall 5 is present and the plane 10 in which the upper rim 3 of the bucket is present, is indicated by a .
  • the distance a generally speaking will not be smaller than 10 mm, so that it is prevented that when wiping off a paint-brush this is touching the upper rim 9 of the auxiliary wall 5.
  • the distance b between the cylindrical wall 2 and the auxiliary wall 5 will be from 2 up to 5 mm.
  • the distance has to be large enough to prevent that a drop of paint lands on the outer surface of the auxiliary wall 5 but on the other hand has to be made as small as possible because a bucket provided with a an auxiliary wall 5 will comprise more space than a standard bucket, the use of material also being higher in case of a large diameter of the auxiliary wall 5.
  • auxiliary wall 5 together with the ribs 6 and with a separate bottom as one part so that a suchlike part can be marketed as a separate part. Then also the possibility exists to make the auxiliary wall 5 less high and to provide it with an inwardly bent portion which e.g. joints a cylindrical portion which can be slid over the wall 2.
  • a clamping bracket By means of a clamping bracket said last mentioned portion can be clamped onto the wall 2 of the bucket so that a space is obtained which is closed at its lower end.
  • Fig. 3 shows the possibility that the auxiliary wall 5 is bent downwardly along the upper rim 9 to form a wall portion 12.
  • the free edge of this wall portion 12 is connected to the wall 2 of the bucket and in said wall portion 12 recesses 13 are provided through which drops of paints, if any, may be received in the space 11 between the wall 2 and the auxiliary wall 5.
  • the recesses 13 will extend till the rim of the wall portion 12, so that applying the recesses is easy and also the bending of the wall portion l2.
  • Fig. 4 shows an embodiment in which the auxiliary wall 5 is having only a limited height and is forming an extension of the lower portion 14 of the wall 2 of the bucket.
  • the upper wall portion 15 of the wall 2 joints the lower wall portion 14 by means of a U-shaped portion 16. In this way again a space 11 is shaped for receiving drops of paint in it.
  • the wall 2 again consists of a lower portion 14 and an upper portion 15, the upper rim 3 of which is provided with the means 4 for cooperating with a lid.
  • the diameter of the upper portion 15 is again smaller than that of the lower portion 14 and the wall portion 14 is passing smoothly into the wall portion 15 by means of the transition portion 17.
  • the auxiliary wall 5 is positioned around this portion 17 and is joining the wall portion 14 so that again a space 11 is formed for receiving drops of paint.
  • the wall 2 again is divided into a lower portion 14 and an upper portion 15 with smaller diameter.
  • both wall portion 14 and 15 are connected to each other by means of an auxiliary wall 5 which in this case is truncated conical shaped and which together with the wall portion 15 is forming the space 11 for receiving drops of paint.
