Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Farbroller nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a paint roller according to the preamble of claim 1.

Stand der Technik:State of the art:

Herkömmliche Farbroller bestehen aus einem zylinderförmigen Walzenkörper, im folgenden auch als Walze oder Farbrolle bezeichnet, mit einem inneren zylinderförmigen Rohrkörper, der zur Aufnahme eines Walzenbezugs aus Plüsch, Fell oder Schaumstoff oder ähnlichem dient. Im Inneren des Rohrkörpers ist im allgemeinen eine geschlitzte sich radial aufweitende Klemmhülse vorgesehen. In einer Ausführungsform wird die Klemmhülse gegen axiales Verschieben auf einer Seite im Rohrkörper durch einen entsprechenden Vorsprung gesichert. Auf der anderen Seite in Richtung Rohrkörperöffnung wird ein Abschlußstück eingerastet, um das Herausfallen der Hülse zu verhindern. In manchen Fällen ist auch das Abschlußstück, wie die Klemmhülse, drehbar gelagert und beide Einzelteile dienen zur Aufnahme und Lagerung eines in den Walzenkörper einzuschiebenden Tragbügels. Dabei hat die Klemmhülse die Aufgabe, den Walzenkörper auf dem Tragbügel axial zu fixieren. Der Tragbügel setzt sich in der Regel aus einem gebogenen Metalldraht und einem Handgriff aus Kunststoff an dessen unteren Ende zusammen. Conventional paint rollers consist of a cylindrical one Roller body, hereinafter also as a roller or paint roller designated, with an inner cylindrical tubular body, to hold a roller cover made of plush, fur or Foam or the like is used. Inside the tube body is generally a slotted radially widening Clamping sleeve provided. In one embodiment, the Clamping sleeve against axial displacement on one side in the Pipe body secured by a corresponding projection. On the other side towards the tube body opening is a End piece snapped in to prevent the sleeve from falling out prevent. In some cases, the end piece is like the clamping sleeve, rotatably mounted and both parts serve for receiving and storing one in the roller body support bracket to be inserted. The ferrule has the Task to axially close the roller body on the support bracket fix. The bracket is usually made up of one bent metal wire and a plastic handle its lower end together.

Eine derartige Konstruktionsweise ist allerdings mit Nachteilen behaftet. Einerseits sind für den Farbroller, der nach Gebrauch häufig weggeworfen wird, mehrere Einzelteile notwendig, die nicht nur die Herstellung verteuern, sondern auch aus Umweltschutzgesichtspunkten nicht wünschenswert sind. Insbesondere der Aufbau des Tragbügels als Kombination aus Metall und aufgespritztem Kunststoff ist nur mit viel Aufwand in einer Rohstoffrückgewinnung verwertbar.Such a construction is, however, with Disadvantages. On the one hand, for the paint roller, the often thrown away after use, several items necessary, which not only make production more expensive, but also also undesirable from an environmental point of view are. In particular, the structure of the bracket as a combination made of metal and molded plastic is only with a lot Effort can be used in a raw material recovery.

Aus diesem Grund wurde in der Vergangenheit versucht, den Tragbügel einstückig aus Kunststoff herzustellen. Ein derartiger Tragbügel ist beispielsweise aus der DE-A-4 426 221 bekannt.For this reason, attempts have been made in the past Manufacture support bracket in one piece from plastic. On Such bracket is for example from the DE-A-4 426 221 known.

Bei einigen Ausführungsformen mußte allerdings festgestellt werden, daß für den praktischen Anwendungsfall keine ausreichende Stabilität des Tragbügels vorhanden ist.In some embodiments, however, was found be that for practical use none there is sufficient stability of the support bracket.

Bei anderen Ausführungsformen wird zwar eine ausreichende Stabilität durch den Einsatz von faserverstärkten Kunststoffen erreicht, dies macht die Herstellung jedoch zugleich auch teuer. Darüber hinaus besteht die Möglichkeit, den Tragbügel einfach größer zu dimensionieren, was allerdings zu einem erhöhten Materialverbrauch führt und daher aus Kostengründen ebenso nicht empfehlenswert ist.In other embodiments, a sufficient one Stability through the use of fiber-reinforced Plastics achieved, but this makes the production also expensive. There is also the possibility just make the carrying handle bigger, what however leads to increased material consumption and is therefore also not recommended for cost reasons.

Auch ist aus der DE-A-30 37 618 ein Pinselstiel für einen Heizkörper bekannt, der quer oder schräg angeordnete Stege aufweist, die durch ihre Anordnung aber nur Stabilität in einer Biegerichtung geben.Also from DE-A-30 37 618 is a brush handle for one Radiator known, the transverse or diagonally arranged webs has, but due to their arrangement only stability in give a bending direction.

Als nächstkommender Stand der Technik ist die DE-B-1 219 832 anzusehen, da der Tragbügel einen Doppel-T-Querschnitt bzw. einen Kreuzquerschnitt aufweist, dessen Form die Steifigkeit des Tragbügels in alle Richtungen erhöht.The closest prior art is DE-B-1 219 832 to look at because the support bracket has a double-T cross-section or has a cross section, the shape of the rigidity of the bracket in all directions.

Aufgabe und Vorteile der Erfindung:Object and advantages of the invention:

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Farbroller mit einem einstückigen Tragbügel aus Kunststoff bereitzustellen, der unter geringem Materialeinsatz und bei geringen Herstellungskosten eine zu einem herkömmlichen Tragbügel aus beispielsweise Metalldraht vergleichbare Steifigkeit aufweist. Weiterhin soll eine einfache und wirksame und zugleich universelle Befestigungsmöglichkeit zwischen dem Tragbügel und dem Walzenkörper gewährleistet sein. The invention has for its object a paint roller with a one-piece plastic bracket To provide, the use of little material and low manufacturing cost to a conventional one Bracket made of metal wire, for example, comparable Has rigidity. Furthermore, a simple and effective and universal attachment option guaranteed between the support bracket and the roller body his.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is solved by the features of claim 1.

In den Unteransprüchen sind vorteilhafte und zweckmäßige Weiterbildungen der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung angegeben.In the subclaims are advantageous and expedient Developments of the device according to the invention specified.

Die Erfindung geht davon aus, daß der Farbroller aus einem mit einem Handgriff versehenen einstückigen Tragbügel aus Kunststoff und einer am vorderen Ende des Tragbügels drehbar anbringbaren Farbrolle besteht. Der Kerngedanke liegt nun darin, daß der Tragbügel über seine Länge wenigstens teilweise querverlaufende Versteifungselemente umfaßt, die durch eine Längsverstrebung versteifend untereinander verbunden sind. Auf diese Weise wird ähnlich wie bei der Verrippung eines Flugzeugtragflügels aus Spanten und Holmen bei einem geringen Gewicht eine ausgezeichnete Steifigkeit erzielt. Es ist somit nicht notwendig, einen Kunststoff einzusetzen, der beispielsweise faserverstärkt ist, was zu reduzierten Herstellungskosten führt. Darüber hinaus trägt der Umstand, daß vergleichsweise weniger Material für die Herstellung notwendig ist, zu einer weiteren Verminderung der Kosten bei. Das geringe Gewicht der Konstruktion des Tragbügels hat für einen Anwender den Vorteil, weniger schnell bei der Durchführung von langwierigen Arbeiten zu ermüden.The invention assumes that the paint roller from one one-piece support bracket with a handle Plastic and one rotatable at the front end of the bracket attachable paint roller. The main idea is now in that the support bracket at least over its length partially includes transverse stiffening elements, the stiffening each other by a longitudinal strut are connected. In this way it becomes similar to the Ribbing of an aircraft wing from frames and spars excellent rigidity with a low weight achieved. It is therefore not necessary to use a plastic to use, which is fiber-reinforced, for example leads to reduced manufacturing costs. It also carries the fact that comparatively less material for the Manufacturing is necessary to further reduce the Cost at. The light weight of the construction of the Support bracket has the advantage for one user, less quickly when performing lengthy tasks fatigue.

Um die Versteifung besonders effizient zu gestalten, wird weiterhin vorgeschlagen, die Längsverstrebung durch Wandungsabschnitte zu realisieren. Dabei ist es besonders bevorzugt, die Wandungsabschnitte als offenes Hohlprofil und insbesondere als Halbschale auszubilden. Zweckmäßigerweise werden die Versteifungselemente im Fall eines Hohlprofils auf dessen Innenseite angebracht.In order to make the stiffening particularly efficient, further suggested the longitudinal strut through Realize wall sections. It is special preferred, the wall sections as an open hollow profile and in particular as a half-shell. Conveniently the stiffening elements in the case of a hollow profile attached to the inside.

Zur Erzielung eines angenehmen und ergonomischen Handgriffs wird im weiteren vorgeschlagen, die querverlaufenden Versteifungselemente wenigstens im Bereich des Handgriffs an der offenen Seite des Hohlprofils überstehen zu lassen. Damit wird die Raumform des Handgriffs einerseits durch die Außenkontur des Hohlprofils und andererseits durch die Form der Versteifungsrippen definiert. Dabei ist es günstig, daß die Versteifungselemente einen Abstand von 2 bis 6 mm aufweisen, um beim Anwender Druckstellen in dessen Hand zu vermeiden.To achieve a comfortable and ergonomic handle is proposed in the following, the transverse Stiffening elements at least in the area of the handle to let the open side of the hollow profile protrude. In order to is the spatial shape of the handle on the one hand by the Outer contour of the hollow profile and on the other hand by the shape of the stiffening ribs. It is favorable that the stiffening elements a distance of 2 to 6 mm to have pressure marks in the user's hand avoid.

Zur Optimierung des Materialeinsatzes bei der Herstellung wird außerdem vorgeschlagen, daß die Abstände der außerhalb des Handgriffs angeordneten Versteifungselement größer sind als die der im Bereich des Handgriffs angebrachten Versteifungselemente.To optimize the use of materials in production it is also suggested that the distances of the outside of the handle arranged stiffening element are larger than that attached in the area of the handle Stiffening elements.

Aus den gleichen Gründen wird weiterhin vorgeschlagen, die Breite und/oder den Querschnitt des Hohlprofils vom Handgriff bis zum vorderen Ende des Tragbügels hin kontinuierlich oder wenigstens abschnittsweise abnehmen zu lassen.For the same reasons it is still proposed that Width and / or cross section of the hollow profile from the handle continuously or up to the front end of the bracket to have it removed at least in sections.

Um eine weitere Verbesserung der Griffqualität des Handgriffs zu erreichen, wird überdies vorgeschlagen, wenigstens in einem Teilbereich des Handgriffs auf der Außenseite des Hohlprofils eine gerippte Greiffläche vorzusehen.To further improve the grip quality of the handle to achieve it is also proposed, at least in a portion of the handle on the outside of the To provide a ribbed gripping surface.

Zur Erzielung einer hohen Steifigkeit und zur Einsparung von Herstellungsmaterial wird darüberhinaus vorgeschlagen, den vorderen Teil des Tragbügels vor dem Aufnahmebereich der Farbrolle als U-förmiges Profil auszuführen. Dieser Bereich ist vorzugsweise zur Erhöhung der Stabilität ebenfalls verrippt.To achieve high rigidity and to save Manufacturing material is also proposed front part of the bracket in front of the receiving area of the Paint roller as a U-shaped profile. This area is also preferred to increase stability ribbed.

Bei einer besonders bevorzugten Ausführungsform wird außerdem der vordere Bereich des Tragbügel unmittelbar als Walzenlager für einen Walzenkörper, der hier auch als Farbrolle oder Walze bezeichnet wird, ausgebildet. Auf diese Weise wird die Zahl der Einzelteile, aus der sich normalerweise ein Farbroller zusammengesetzt wird, reduziert. Beispielsweise kann die im Stand der Technik beschriebene Klemmhülse und das Abschlußstück für die Fixierung der Klemmhülse zur Realisierung des Walzenlagers bei der vorliegenden Erfindung vorzugsweise einstückig am vorderen Ende des Tragbügels angeformt werden. Der Tragbügel kann demzufolge in seinem endseitigen Bereich derart ausgebildet sein, daß er in einer auf der Innenseite des Rohrkörpers vorgesehenen Nut oder dergleichen derart einrastet, daß sich der Rohrkörper auf dem Tragbügel selbst dreht. Um eine einfache Konstruktion zu erhalten, wird vorgeschlagen, die Farbrolle auf dem Walzenlager am vorderen Ende des Tragbügels einrastbar auszuführen. Dabei ist es vorteilhaft, wenn das Walzenlager einen Einraststeg für das Eingreifen in eine umlaufende Nut im Rohrkörper der Farbrolle aufweist. Die Dimensionen von Einraststeg und Nut sind dabei vorzugsweise so festzulegen, daß die Farbrolle um ihre Längsachse drehbar ist. Eine gegenseitige Vertauschung von Einraststeg und Nut an den jeweiligen Teilen ist ggf. vorteilhaft.In a particularly preferred embodiment, in addition the front area of the support bracket directly as a roller bearing for a roller body, which is also used here as a paint roller or Roll is called trained. In this way the Number of items that normally make up one Paint roller is assembled, reduced. For example can the clamping sleeve described in the prior art and End piece for fixing the clamping sleeve for Realization of the roller bearing in the present invention preferably in one piece at the front end of the bracket be molded on. The bracket can therefore in his end area be formed such that it in a groove provided on the inside of the tubular body or The like snaps in such a way that the tubular body on the Support bracket itself rotates. To make a simple construction too received, it is proposed to paint the roller on the Roller bearings can be snapped into place at the front end of the bracket to execute. It is advantageous if the roller bearing a snap-in bar for engaging in a circumferential groove in the tubular body of the paint roller. The dimensions of Locking web and groove are preferably to be determined that the paint roller is rotatable about its longitudinal axis. A mutual exchange of snap-in bar and groove on the respective parts may be advantageous.

Für eine besonders günstige Lagerung der Farbrolle wird desweiteren vorgeschlagen, den Einraststeg im Bereich der Mitte des Walzenlagers anzuordnen.For a particularly cheap storage of the paint roller furthermore proposed the snap bar in the area of To be placed in the center of the roller bearing.

Um ein stabiles Rollen der Farbrolle auf dem Walzenlager zu gewährleisten, kann wenigstens ein zusätzlicher Lagersteg vorgesehen werden, auf dem der Rohrkörper der Farbrolle gleiten kann und gegen Verkippen abgestützt wird.To ensure a stable rolling of the ink roller on the roller bearing can guarantee at least one additional bearing bridge be provided on which the tubular body of the paint roller can slide and is supported against tilting.

Schließlich ist es vorteilhaft, wenn am Walzenlager ein Begrenzungssteg für das tragbügelseitige Ende der drehbar montierten Farbrolle vorgesehen ist. Der Begrenzungssteg verhindert, daß Farbe in den Rohrkörper der Rolle eindringen kann. Weiterhin wird hierdurch der Montageweg definiert, d. h. die Einschublänge kann hierdurch vorgegeben werden. Finally, it is advantageous if a on the roller bearing Boundary bar for the end of the support bracket rotatable mounted paint roller is provided. The boundary bridge prevents color from penetrating into the tube body of the roll can. This also defines the assembly route, d. H. the insertion length can be specified in this way.

In Sonderfällen kann es weiterhin vorteilhaft sein, wenn die Verbindung zwischen Walzenlager und Rohrkörper über eine separate Klemmhülse oder Haftmuffe erfolgt, die in ihrer Innenrohrfläche die entsprechenden Einrastmittel aufweist. Hierdurch kann ein einfacher zylindrischer Rohrkörper in jeweils passender Länge verwendet werden, in den die Klemmhülse durch einfachen Preßsitz eingebracht wird.In special cases, it can also be advantageous if the Connection between roller bearing and tubular body via a separate clamping sleeve or adhesive sleeve is made in their Inner tube surface has the corresponding locking means. This allows a simple cylindrical tube body in appropriate length can be used in which the Clamping sleeve is inserted by a simple press fit.

Er umfaßt an seinem unteren Ende einen Handgriff 2 und an seinem oberen Ende ein ungefähr senkrecht zum Handgriff verlaufendes Walzenlager 4. Dazwischen liegt ein gebogenes Verbindungsteil 3. Das Verbindungsteil 3 und der Handgriff 2 werden im wesentlichen durch ein einseitig offenes Hohlprofil 5 (siehe hierzu die Schnittverläufe in den Fig. 4a bis b) gebildet. Im Bereich des Handgriffs 2 wird das Hohlprofil 5 durch querverlaufende Rippen 6 versteift. Exemplarisch sind Rippen oder Versteifungselemente entlang der Schnittlinin E-E bzw. F-F (siehe Fig. 3) in den Fig. 4e und Fig. 4f dargestellt. Die Versteifungselemente 6 sind in einem vergleichsweise engen Abstand a von vorzugsweise 3 mm angeordnet (siehe hierzu insbesondere Fig. 4g). Die Versteifungselemente 6 stehen auf der offenen Seite des Hohlprofils 5 über dieses über, so daß auf der einen Seite durch das Hohlprofil 5 und auf der anderen Seite durch die Außenkanten der Versteifungselemente die Raumform des Handgriffs 2 definiert wird (Fig. 2). Wie insbesondere in Fig. 1 deutlich wird, ist die Außenseite des Hohlprofils im Bereich der Greiffläche 7 des Handgriffs 2 zur Verbesserung der Greifqualität gerippt. A first embodiment of an inventive The support bracket for a paint roller is shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 as well as the associated cross sections in FIGS. 4a to g shown. The cross sections in Figures 4a to g are shown in 2: 1 scale. The bracket 1 is made in one piece from plastic. He embraces at his lower end a handle 2 and at its upper end Roller bearing 4 running approximately perpendicular to the handle. In between is a curved connecting part 3. Das Connecting part 3 and the handle 2 are essentially through a hollow profile 5 open on one side (see the Cut profiles in FIGS. 4a to b) are formed. In the area the handle 2, the hollow profile 5 by transverse Ribs 6 stiffened. Ribs or are exemplary Stiffening elements along the cut line E-E or F-F (see Fig. 3) shown in Figs. 4e and 4f. The Stiffening elements 6 are comparatively narrow Distance a of preferably 3 mm (see here in particular Fig. 4g).

Auch im Bereich des Verbindungsteils 3 sind zur Versteifung querverlaufende Rippen bzw. Versteifungselemente 7 im Hohlprofil 5 vorhanden. Der Abstand der Versteifungselemente ist allerdings deutlich größer als im Bereich des Handgriffs 2. Außerdem stehen die Versteifungselemente nicht über die offene Seite des Hohlprofils über. Zur weiteren Verbesserung der Stabilität sind die letzte Querrippe des Handgriffs 2 und alle weiteren darauffolgenden Querrippen 8 des Verbindungsteils 3 durch einen im mittleren Bereich des Hohlprofils verlaufenden Längssteg 9 verbunden (siehe hierzu insbesondere die Schnittbilder 4c und 4d).Also in the area of the connecting part 3 are for stiffening transverse ribs or stiffening elements 7 in Hollow section 5 available. The distance of the stiffening elements is, however, significantly larger than in the area of the handle 2. In addition, the stiffening elements are not above the open side of the hollow profile over. For further improvement stability are the last cross rib of the handle 2 and all other subsequent transverse ribs 8 of the Connecting part 3 by a in the central area of the Hollow profile extending longitudinal web 9 connected (see here in particular the sectional images 4c and 4d).

Die Versteifung durch den Längssteg 9 und die Versteifungselemente 8 erfolgt allerdings nicht über den kompletten Bereich des Verbindungsteils 3, sondern lediglich vom Handgriff über eine erste Biegung bis in den Bereich der darauffolgenden nächsten Biegung. Von hier aus läuft das sich bis dahin im Querschnitt verjüngende Hohlprofil 5 mit insbesondere unveränderter Breite bzw. Querschnitt bis zum Walzenlager 4 in Form eines U-Profils ohne zusätzliche Versteifungselemente (vergleiche hierzu die Querschnitte in Fig. 4a bzw. 4b) bis zum Walzenlager 4 weiter. Wahlweise kann auch dieser Bereich mit zusätzlichen Versteifungselementen versehen sein.The stiffening by the longitudinal web 9 and Stiffening elements 8, however, does not take place via the complete area of the connecting part 3, but only from the handle through a first bend to the area of the subsequent next bend. It runs from here until then in cross section tapering hollow profile 5 in particular unchanged width or cross-section up to Roller bearing 4 in the form of a U-profile without additional Stiffening elements (compare the cross sections in 4a and 4b) up to the roller bearing 4. Optionally can this area with additional stiffening elements be provided.

Das Walzenlager 4 am Ende des Verbindungsteils 3 dient zur direkten Aufnahme und drehbaren Lagerung eines zylindrischen Walzenkörpers mit entsprechendem Walzenbezug.The roller bearing 4 at the end of the connecting part 3 is used for direct mounting and rotatable mounting of a cylindrical Roll body with corresponding roll cover.

In den Figuren 5 und 6 sind derartige Walzen ohne Plüsch- oder Schaumstoff-Bezug, also lediglich durch ihre Rohrkörper 10, 11, auf welche der Walzenbezug anzubringen ist, dargestellt. Die Rohrkörper 10, 11 werden einfach auf das Walzenlager 4 aufgesteckt und eingerastet. Dabei rutscht ein am Walzenlager 4 umlaufender Einraststeg 12 entlang eines Konus 13 auf der Innenseite der Rohrkörper 10, 11 in eine ebenfalls auf der Innenseite der Rohrkörper 10, 11 umlaufende Nut 14. Die Abmessungen des Einraststeges 12 und der Nut 14 sind so bestimmt, daß der Einraststeg zwar in der Nut einrastet, aber dennoch in Richtung des Nutverlaufs eine Drehung des Rohrkörpers und damit der Walze ermöglicht wird.In FIGS. 5 and 6, such rollers are shown without plush or foam cover, so only through their tubular body 10, 11, on which the roller cover is to be attached, shown. The tubular body 10, 11 are simply on the Roller bearing 4 plugged in and locked. This slips on the roller bearing 4 encircling web 12 along a Cone 13 on the inside of the tubular body 10, 11 in a also revolving on the inside of the tubular body 10, 11 Groove 14. The dimensions of the locking web 12 and the groove 14 are determined so that the snap-in web is in the groove engages, but still in the direction of the groove Rotation of the tube body and thus the roller is made possible.

Der Einraststeg 12 ist ungefähr mittig auf dem Walzenlager 4 positioniert. Im Abstand dazu sind jeweils links und rechts weitere Stege 15, 16 an ausgesparten Verbindungselementen 17, 18 bzw. Verbindungszylindern angeordnet. Die Aussparungen 22 dienen zur Materialeinsparung. Die Stege 15, 16 bilden ein Lager für den Rohrkörper 10 oder 11, auf welchen er bei einer Drehbewegung gleitet und sich gegenüber Verkippungskräften abstützt. Dies ist insbesondere dann wichtig, wenn der Rohrkörper wie im Fall des in Fig. 6 dargestellten, über das Walzenlager 4 im aufgesteckten Zustand weit übersteht.The latching web 12 is approximately centered on the roller bearing 4 positioned. At a distance from each other are left and right further webs 15, 16 on recessed connecting elements 17, 18 or connecting cylinders arranged. The cutouts 22 serve to save material. The webs 15, 16 form one Bearing for the tubular body 10 or 11, on which he at one Rotational movement slides and against tilting forces supports. This is particularly important if the Tubular body as in the case of the shown in Fig. 6, on the Roll bearing 4 protrudes far in the attached state.

Der Rohrkörper 11 ist z. B. doppelt so lang wie der Rohrkörper 10 und kann aufgrund seiner symmetrischen Konstrukion beidseitig auf das Walzenlager 4 aufgesteckt und eingerastet werden.The tubular body 11 is, for. B. twice as long as that Tubular body 10 and can because of its symmetrical Construction on both sides of the roller bearing 4 and be snapped into place.

Die Verstrebungselemente 19 in der Mitte des Rohrkörpers 11 sind nochmal in der Einzelheit VIII in Fig. 8 vergrößert dargestellt. Sie dienen ebenfalls als Anschlag für eine Bewegung des Walzenkörpers 4 innerhalb der Nut 14 in axialer Richtung.The strut elements 19 in the middle of the tubular body 11 are enlarged again in detail VIII in Fig. 8 shown. They also serve as a stop for one Movement of the roller body 4 within the groove 14 in the axial Direction.

Um den Rohrkörper 10, 11 tragbügelseitig abzudecken, ist am inneren Rand des Walzenlagers ein Begrenzungssteg 20 vorhanden. Dieser kann beispielsweise auch die Aufgabe übernehmen, den Rohrkörper 10, 11 gegenüber Farbeintritt zu verschließen, insofern auch die andere Seite des Rohrkörpers durch den Walzenbezug ausreichend verschlossen ist. Weiterhin stellt der Steg 20 eine Wegbegrenzung beim Zusammenbau dar. In order to cover the tubular body 10, 11 on the support bracket side, is on inner edge of the roller bearing a limiting web 20th available. This can also be the task, for example take over, the tubular body 10, 11 against color entry close the other side of the tube body is sufficiently closed by the roller cover. Farther the web 20 represents a path limitation during assembly.

Eine Variante der Erfindung sieht vor, daß der Rohrkörper 10, 11 in seinem jeweiligen Endbereich nicht selbst als "Haftmuffe" oder "Klemmhülse" für das Walzenlager 4 ausgebildet ist, sondern ein getrenntes Teil hierfür vorgesehen ist. In Fig. 9 ist demzufolge eine getrennte Haftmuffe oder Klemmhülse 21 dargestellt, die prinzipiell den gleichen Aufbau wie der Rohrkörper nach Fig. 5 aufweist, jedoch als getrenntes, separates Teil in ein zylindrisches Innenrohr des Walzenkörpers 10', 11', bzw. der Farbrolle mit Preßsitz oder dergleichen eingebracht wird. Hierdurch wird zwar ein weiteres Teil (Haftmuffe) benötigt. Als Walzenkörper können jedoch normale, abzulängende zylindrische Rohre verwendet werden, die wahlweise mit Plüsch- oder Schaumstoff bezogen werden können.

A variant of the invention provides that the tubular body 10, 11 is not itself designed in its respective end region as an "adhesive sleeve" or "clamping sleeve" for the roller bearing 4, but a separate part is provided for this. 9 accordingly shows a separate adhesive sleeve or clamping sleeve 21, which in principle has the same structure as the tubular body according to FIG. 5, but as a separate, separate part in a cylindrical inner tube of the roller body 10 ', 11', or the ink roller is introduced with a press fit or the like. As a result, another part (adhesive sleeve) is required. However, normal cylindrical tubes to be cut to length can be used as the roller body, which can optionally be covered with plush or foam.
