Definitions

  • the invention relates to an agitator cover for a can. color on paint stirring machines and particular an agitator cover provided with a device avoiding contact wear of the agitators on the bottom of the boxes during agitation.
  • the invention aims to remedy this drawback and offers an agitator cover for a shade box on the paint stirring machines, of the type comprising an axis agitator mounted free in translation relative to the cover, provided with an axial rod driven in rotation and a lower stirring blade, the stirring axis being able to be applied in abutment on the bottom of the box under the blade thrust during agitation, characterized in that the agitator axis has at its lower end a application tip on the bottom of the box, this tip being freely rotatably mounted on the agitator axis and being provided at least three lower projecting elements capable of come into contact by the same plane perpendicular to the axis with the bottom surface of the box.
  • said three projecting elements of the tip have their bottom end all three arranged in the same plane, substantially parallel to that the bottom of the box and the perimeter of the triangle thus defined contains the axis. These protruding elements come into contact punctual with the bottom of the box.
  • the nozzle is preferably mounted free to rotate coaxial to the agitator axis, although a slight eccentricity inside the three support points either conceivable.
  • the agitator axis is applied to the bottom of the box by its tip which remains fixed on the bottom thanks to the adhesion of the point support of the elements in projection, the agitator axis rotating on the nozzle.
  • the bottom of the box is not eroded by the agitator axis.
  • Said tip is advantageously provided with a height design determined in relation to the pale, so as to bring the latter to a height determined optimal functioning relative to the bottom surface of the box.
  • the tip with its three points gives a lower seat stable to the axis of rotation.
  • Said agitator shaft end piece is advantageously a circular plate slightly larger in diameter equivalent to that of the agitator shaft rod (4-15 mm), mounted perpendicular to the axis of rotation.
  • the elements protruding are cylindrical fingers whose end is rounded. These fingers are arranged circularly to 120 ° from each other.
  • Coaxial rotary mounting of the nozzle on the axis agitator is provided by a latching device circular conformation to be taken in the barrel bore end of the agitator axis.
  • This latching device can be constituted by three upper clip tabs fixed in the part upper central tip and the nose part upper cooperates with a complementary skirt of the barrel axis.
  • This rotating mounting part of the nozzle is preferably synthetic material with a low coefficient of friction, for example based on "Teflon".
  • the agitator axis is preferably provided with a paddle spiral configuration (spiral generator).
  • the tip with its three points according to the invention allows to bring this high efficiency spiral blade to a precise reference height relative to the surface of bottom of the box, at which its performance is optimal, at a high level at which the vibration mounting of the blade is no longer required.
  • This spiral blade can be mounted mobile by translation on the agitator shaft rod, at its part lower, and the nozzle be rotatably mounted on the blade at its lower part, coaxial to the latter, protruding of its lower leading edge of a determined height corresponding to the height of application of the blade on the bottom of the box where the operation is optimal.
  • the agitator cover 1 represented is of a classic model (except the agitator), comprising a pouring spout 3, a handling handle 5 to the end diametrically opposite the spout, and an axis agitator 7 in vertical axial position.
  • the axis is driven by an upper pinion 9, itself engaged with a chain continuous (not shown) of a stirring machine on which the cover is mounted.
  • This cover receives a lower shade 11.
  • the agitator axis 7 consists of an axial rod 13 and a lower agitating blade 15.
  • the blade 15 is mounted movable in translation on the axis rod 13 in its part lower so as to descend under the hydrodynamic action agitation towards the bottom 17 of the box (flat surface horizontal) at a short distance from it.
  • the rod 13 has a determined length constant, allowed thanks to the mounting in translation of the pale and suitable for use with various boxes in a given capacity range, the height of these varying slightly from one manufacturer to another.
  • the blade 15 is of the generator type 19 in the form of spiral whose mixing efficiency allows the use without having to vibrate the agitator axis 7, which required in the prior art known a mounting in blade suspension with corresponding adaptation in height to each box.
  • the blade 15 is slidably mounted longitudinally by its central shaft 21 on the agitator axis, this on a stroke determined.
  • This bole 21 has two shoulders longitudinal 23 diametrically opposite each provided with a internal groove 25 receiving a complementary rib 27 of the stem. Upward translation is limited by a upper stop 29 at the upper end of each of the grooves, and similarly down by a stop lower.
  • the blade 15 further comprises at the lower end of its axial shaft 21 a lower bearing end piece 31 mounted freely rotating on it and which projects down under the horizontal lower rectilinear edge 33 of the blade.
  • the distance h between the lower horizontal plane of the nozzle and the lower edge 33 of the blade is determined according to the latter and the paint to be treated (in a lesser measurement) so as to obtain an efficiency agitation optimal.
  • the end piece 31 comprises (FIGS. 2 and 3) a body part disc-shaped or circular plate 35, diameter equivalent to that of the barrel of the blade 21, three elements to upper snap hook 37 (clip tabs) on a same circle at 120 ° from each other, arranged vertically on the central part of the plate 35, and three lower fingers 39 arranged vertically under the plate 35 and also on the same circle at 120 ° angle one of the other.
  • the whole has an axial symmetry, from molding in a low synthetic material coefficient of friction (based on "Teflon").
  • the fingers 39 have their rounded end and come to the during the agitation apply occasionally on the bottom surface 17 of the box (in a perpendicular plane to the axis). They are arranged substantially on the periphery of the plate 35, being rigidly held thereon by radial ribs 41. their lateral arrangement increases the bonding torque adherent to the bottom of the box, against all rotary sliding on this background.
  • the upper hook elements 37 constitute the part of rotary connection of the nozzle on the blade. They have their upper hook nose 43 facing radially towards the exterior and come into engagement by snapping into the cylindrical skirt 45 internal lower complementary to the barrel pale.
  • This skirt 45 is developed vertically enclosing with slight play the vertical legs of the elements hooks 37 in its lower part of reduced diameter 47 and receiving in a larger overlying part diameter of hook noses 43.
  • This hooking assembly of the tip on the blade shaft has a suitable clearance, of a part for the rotation travel and, secondly, for the travel in seat plane of the nozzle on the surface background 17.
  • the relative rotary sliding of the nozzle and the blade is performed between the facing horizontal surfaces respectively 49, 49 'of the barrel lower end of the blade and the corresponding upper surface of the platinum.
  • the sliding torque is very low, well less than the sliding torque of the support points fingers 39 on the bottom surface 17 of the box.
  • the mounting snap-on end cap due to the mounting snap-on end cap, it can be removed easily, by simply removing it using a screwdriver blade, for example to replace it in case of wear or by a nozzle of different height depending on the paint treated.
  • the tip can be alternatively mounted directly on the axle rod agitator, at its lower end, and not on the blade, the telescopically sliding axis with a fixed blade on the axis or the blade sliding in translation on the axis.
