Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen Roller zum Auftragen von Farben oder dergleichen Auftragsmassen auf Flächen oder Gegenstände.The invention relates to a roller for applying paint or the same application dimensions on surfaces or objects.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es einen Roller aufzuzeigen, der bei preiswerter Ausbildung und einfacher Handhabung ein zeitsparendes, gleichmäßiges und insbesondere auch tropffreies Auftragen von Farben oder anderen Auftragsmassen ermöglicht.The object of the invention is to show a scooter, which is inexpensive training and simple handling a time-saving, uniform and in particular also Drip-free application of colors or other application masses possible.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe ist ein Roller entsprechend dem Patentanspruch 1 ausgeführt. Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind Gegenstand der Unteransprüche.To solve this problem is a scooter according to claim 1 executed. Developments of the invention are the subject of the dependent claims.

Bei der Erfindung ist die äußere Trommel auf der inneren Trommel drehbar vorgesehen, d.h. die innere Trommel bildet beispielsweise das Lager der äußeren Trommel, wodurch sich eine besonders gute Verteilung der Farbe oder Auftragsmasse ergeben.In the invention, the outer drum is rotatable on the inner drum provided, i.e. the inner drum forms, for example, the bearing of the outer one Drum, which results in a particularly good distribution of the paint or application mass surrender.

Die Erfindung wird im Folgenden anhand der Figuren an einem Ausführungsbeispiel näher erläutert. Es zeigen:

  • Fig. 1 in vereinfachter Darstellung einen Farb-Roller gemäß der Erfindung;
  • Fig. 2 in vergrößerter Darstellung die Innentrommel des Farb-Rollers der Figur 1;
  • Fig. 3 in vereinfachter Darstellung die Außentrommel des Farb-Rollers der Figur 1;
  • Fig 4 in einer Darstellung der Fig. 1 eine weitere Ausführung des Farbrollers gemäß der Erfindung.
    • The invention is explained in more detail below with reference to the figures using an exemplary embodiment. Show it:
  • Figure 1 in a simplified representation of a paint roller according to the invention.
  • 2 shows the inner drum of the paint roller of FIG. 1 in an enlarged representation;
  • 3 shows a simplified representation of the outer drum of the paint roller of FIG. 1;
  • Fig. 4 in a representation of Fig. 1, a further embodiment of the paint roller according to the invention.

    • Der in den Figuren allgemein mit 1 bezeichnete Roller dient z.B. zum Auftragen von Farbe auf Wände und/oder Decken von Gebäuden, beispielsweise auf Wände oder Decken von Gebäudeinnenräumen. Der Roller 1 kann aber auch zum Aufbringen von Farben oder anderen Massen auf andere Flächen dienen. The scooter, generally designated 1 in the figures, serves e.g. to apply Paint on walls and / or ceilings of buildings, for example on walls or Ceilings of building interiors. The roller 1 can also be used to apply Colors or other masses are used on other surfaces.

    Der Roller besteht im wesentlichen aus einer inneren Trommel 2, der von einem geschlossenen Zylinderkörper 3 mit kreiszylinderförmiger Umfangswand gebildet ist. Der von der Umfangswand 4 umschlossene Innenraum des Zylinderkörpers 3 ist beidendig durch eine Stirnwand 5 bzw. 6 verschlossen. An der Stirnwand 5 ist ein verschließbarer Deckel 7 zum Nachfüllen der inneren Trommel 2 mit Farbe vorgesehen. An der Stirnwand 6 ist das eine Ende eines Haltebügels 8 befestigt, der am anderen Ende einen Handgriff 9 aufweist.The scooter consists essentially of an inner drum 2 by one closed cylinder body 3 is formed with a circular cylindrical peripheral wall. The interior of the cylinder body 3 enclosed by the peripheral wall 4 is closed at both ends by an end wall 5 or 6. On the end wall 5 is a lockable lid 7 for refilling the inner drum 2 with paint intended. On the end wall 6, one end of a bracket 8 is attached to the has a handle 9 at the other end.

    In der Umfangswandung 4 sind Öffnungen 10 vorgesehen, die bei der dargestellten Ausführungsform als mit ihrer Längserstreckung in Umfangsrichtung verlaufende Schlitze ausgeführt sind.In the peripheral wall 4 openings 10 are provided, which in the illustrated Embodiment as extending with its longitudinal extent in the circumferential direction Slots are made.

    Mit 11 ist eine äußere Trommel bezeichnet. Diese besteht im wesentlichen aus einer kreiszylinderförmigen Umfangswand 12, die eine Vielzahl von Öffnungen 13 aufweist, deren Querschnitt kleiner ist als der Querschnitt der Öffnungen 10. Bei der dargestellten Ausführungsform sind die Öffnungen 13 Löcher. An einer Seite schließt an die Umfangswand ein mit einer mittigen Öffnung versehener Boden 12' an.With 11 an outer drum is designated. This essentially consists of a circular cylindrical peripheral wall 12, which has a plurality of openings 13, whose cross section is smaller than the cross section of the openings 10. In the illustrated embodiment, the openings are 13 holes. Closes on one side a bottom 12 'provided with a central opening on the peripheral wall.

    Bei dem gebrauchsfertigen Roller 1 umschließt die äußere Trommel 11 die innere Trommel 2 auf ihre gesamte Länge. Die Trommel 11 ist auf die Trommel 2 aufschiebbar und dort durch Einrasten derart fixierbar, daß die äußere Trommel 11 frei drehbar auf der inneren Trommel 2 vorgesehen ist. Hierfür sind beispielsweise zwei geschlitzte Ringe 14 in Nuten der inneren Trommel 2 aufgenommen, die beim Aufschieben in entsprechende Nuten der äußeren Trommel einrasten.In the ready-to-use scooter 1, the outer drum 11 encloses the inner one Drum 2 along its entire length. The drum 11 is on the drum 2 can be pushed on and locked there by snapping in such a way that the outer drum 11 is free is rotatably provided on the inner drum 2. For example, there are two slotted rings 14 in grooves of the inner drum 2, which at Push it into the corresponding grooves in the outer drum.

    Wie die Figur 2 zeigt, bildet die Stirnwand 6 einen über die Umfangsfläche der Umfangswand 4 einen radial überstehenden Flansch. Durch diesen Flansch und den benachbarten Ring 14 ist ein seitliches Austreten von Farbe an der Stirnwand verhindert. Der Boden 12' verhindert mit dem benachbarten Ring 14 ein Austreten von Farbe an der Stirnwand 5. Weiterhin dient der Boden 12' zur Verstärkung der Trommel 11. Auf der Trommel 11 befindet sich eine Auflage 15 aus einem weichen, für Farbe durchlässigen Material, beispielsweise aus Schaumstoff.As FIG. 2 shows, the end wall 6 forms one over the circumferential surface of the Circumferential wall 4 has a radially projecting flange. Through this flange and the adjacent ring 14 is a lateral leakage of paint on the end wall prevented. With the adjacent ring 14, the base 12 'prevents leakage of Color on the front wall 5. Furthermore, the bottom 12 'serves to reinforce the drum 11. On the drum 11 is a pad 15 made of a soft, for color permeable material, such as foam.

    Beim Auftragen der Farbe auf eine Fläche gelangt diese aus dem Innenraum der inneren Trommel 2 durch die Öffnungen 10, durch die Öffnungen 13 der sich drehenden Trommel 11 und durch die Auflage 15 an deren Oberfläche, wo die Farbe dann an die Fläche abgegeben wird. Durch die viskosen Eigenschaften der Farbe ist gewährleistet, daß nur beim Drehen der äußeren Trommel 11 Farbe durch die Öffnungen 10 aus der Trommel 2 entnommen wird und zwar durch eine Art Saugeffekt, so daß ein tropffreier Farbauftrag möglich ist.When the paint is applied to a surface, it comes from the interior of the inner drum 2 through the openings 10, through the openings 13 of the rotating drum 11 and through the pad 15 on the surface where the color then released to the surface. Due to the viscous properties of the color ensures that only when turning the outer drum 11 color by the Openings 10 is removed from the drum 2 by a kind Suction effect, so that a drip-free paint application is possible.

    Die Trommel 2 kann auch als Farbpatrone ausgeführt sein.The drum 2 can also be designed as a color cartridge.

    *Die Figur 4 zeigt in einer Darstellung ähnlich Figur 1 als weitere mögliche Ausführungsform einen Farbroller 1a, der sich von dem Farbroller 1 im wesentlichen dadurch unterscheidet, daß die äußere Trommel bis über die Stirnwand 6 der inneren Trommel 2 reicht bzw. diese Stirnwand 6 umschließt. Das seitliche Austreten von Farbe wird durch die Ringe 14 verhindert, insbesondere auch durch den der Stirnwand 6 benachbarten Ring 14. Die Öffnungen 10 zumindest der inneren Trommel 2 befinden sich dann an dem von dem vorgenannten Ring 14 abgedichteten und von der äußeren Trommel 11 umschlossenen Bereich, d.h. an einem Bereich der Umfangswand 4 der inneren Trommel 2, der (Bereich) einen Abstand von der Stirnwand 6 aufweist, welcher größer ist als der entsprechende Abstand zwischen dieser Stirnwand 6 und dem benachbarten Ring 14.* Figure 4 shows a representation similar to Figure 1 as a further possible Embodiment a paint roller 1 a, which is different from the paint roller 1 differs in that the outer drum over the end wall 6 of the inner Drum 2 is sufficient or encloses this end wall 6. The lateral exit of Color is prevented by the rings 14, in particular also by that of the end wall 6 adjacent ring 14. The openings 10 of at least the inner drum 2 are then on the sealed by the aforementioned ring 14 and by the outer drum 11 enclosed area, i.e. at an area of Circumferential wall 4 of the inner drum 2, the (area) a distance from the Has end wall 6, which is larger than the corresponding distance between this end wall 6 and the adjacent ring 14.
