Abstract

The holder consists of a vessel deep enough to receive the bristles and bristle holder of the brush, and two supple magnetic panels for attaching the holder to the outer surface of a container made from a ferromagnetic material. The panels can be made from a supple magnetic natural or synthetic elastomer such as rubber, plastic or silicone. The holder (1), designed to receive a flat (PP) or round (PR) brush and optional diluting agent or thinners (DI), consists of a vessel deep enough to receive the bristles and a bristle holder of the brush, and two supple magnetic panels (2) for attaching the holder to the outer surface of a container (3) made from a ferromagnetic material. The panels can be made from a supple magnetic natural or synthetic elastomer such as rubber, plastic or silicone, or they can contain rigid magnetic elements e.g. of ferrite joined by strips of a supple material lying parallel to the container's axis.

Description

La présente invention concerne un réceptacle pour pinceaux et éventuellement du diluant,associé d'une façon amovible à une boíte de produit à appliquer.
La plupart des boítes de produit à appliquer(de type peinture) ne disposent pas de réservoir pour contenir un pinceau et lorsque l'on s'arrête de peindre momentanèment,il est d'usage de le poser sur son dessus,en équilibre instable avec des coulis de peinture éventuels.
Elles ne comportent pas non plus de réservoir à diluant pour faire tremper le/les pinceaux (x) afin d'éviter que ceux-ci ne sèchent lors d'un arrêt prolongé d'application du produit.The present invention relates to a receptacle for brushes and possibly thinner, detachably associated with a box of product to be applied.
Most boxes of product to apply (paint type) do not have a reservoir to hold a brush and when you stop painting momentarily, it is customary to place it on top, in unstable equilibrium with possible paint grout.
They also do not have a diluent reservoir for soaking the brush (es) to prevent them from drying out during a prolonged cessation of application of the product.

Cependant il a été proposé des dispositifs formant réceptacles à pinceaux en tant qu'accessoires destinés à se fixer sur les boítes.
Les brevets DE9310970U,US2308666A et US4436217A proposent des bacs extérieurs mais adaptables seulement à un type particulier de boítes:

  • le premier se fixe à l'aide d'un clip correspondant à un diamètre particulier de boíte.
  • le second se fixe à l'aide d'un cordage venant s'appuyer sur des boítes disposant de deux charnières d'articulation d'une anse de transport,en saillie sur l'extérieur.
  • le troisième se fixe à l'aide d'une pièce support venant se positionner cette fois directement sur une des deux charnières d'articulation d'une anse de transport,en saillie sur l'extérieur.Cette fixation se faisant selon un diamètre bien particulier.
However, devices forming brush receptacles have been proposed as accessories intended to be fixed on the boxes.
The patents DE9310970U, US2308666A and US4436217A propose external tanks but adaptable only to a particular type of boxes:
  • the first is fixed with a clip corresponding to a particular diameter of box.
  • the second is fixed with a rope coming to rest on boxes with two hinges for articulation of a transport handle, projecting from the outside.
  • the third is fixed using a support piece that is positioned this time directly on one of the two hinges of articulation of a transport handle, projecting on the outside. This fixing is done according to a very specific diameter .

Par ailleurs, le brevet US4353476A utilise une enveloppe adhésive venant se fixer sur l'extérieur des boítes, équipée d'une poche pour recevoir le pinceau. La question se pose sur la tenue de l'adhésif lors d'utilisations successives (avec le risque de séchage de celui-ci lors de températures ambiantes élevées) ainsi que l'amovibilité de cette enveloppe.In addition, patent US4353476A uses an envelope adhesive attached to the outside of the boxes, fitted a pocket to receive the brush. The question arises on the strength of the adhesive during successive uses (with the risk of drying it during temperatures high ambient) as well as the removability of this envelope.

Les brevets GB2231550A,W09302871A et FR2693885A proposent quant à eux, des bacs prenant appui pour leur fixation sur le bord intérieur des boítes. Patents GB2231550A, W09302871A and FR2693885A propose as for them, trays supported for their fixing on the inside edge of boxes.

Les inconvénients sont alors les suivants:

  • il est nécessaire de laisser la boíte ouverte.
  • l'emplacement imposé du bac en position haute rend instable l'ensemble.
  • le problème de rangement se pose lorsque l'on veut laisser tremper les pinceaux à l'intérieur avec du diluant et que l'on veuille fermer la boíte pour éviter que le produit ne sèche.
The disadvantages are as follows:
  • it is necessary to leave the box open.
  • the imposed location of the tray in the high position makes the assembly unstable.
  • the storage problem arises when you want to let the brushes soak inside with thinner and you want to close the box to prevent the product from drying out.

Le RECEPTACLE proposé permet de résoudre ces problèmes.The RECEPTACLE proposed solves these problems.

Il s'adapte sur les boítes de forme ronde ou droite de taille indifférente,métalliques de type ferreux de produits à appliquer existants et de façon instantané sans aucune mise en oeuvre particulière,grâce à des moyens de fixation magnétiques associés à une structure de liaison souple.It fits on boxes of round or straight shape any size, metallic ferrous type of products to apply existing and instantly without any wager in particular work, thanks to fixing means magnetic associated with a flexible connection structure.

Il se fixe sur la face extérieure des boítes à la hauteur désirée et dans le bas de sorte à reposer par son fond sur le même plan d'appui que la boíte lorsque l'on veut améliorer la stabilité de l'ensemble.Sa fixation est indépendante du système d'ouverture ou de fermeture du couvercle.Il peut séjourner de façon isolée en lieu et place de la boíte avec les pinceaux et le diluant à l'intérieur.
Il possède un rebord permettant l'égouttage des pinceaux.It is fixed on the outside of the boxes at the desired height and at the bottom so as to rest by its bottom on the same support plane as the box when you want to improve the stability of the assembly. independent of the opening or closing system of the cover. It can be isolated in place of the box with the brushes and the thinner inside.
It has a rim allowing the dripping of the brushes.

D'une manière plus générale ,l'invention a pour objet un dispositif destiné à maintenir en position au moins un pinceau de forme plate ou ronde sur une boíte métallique de type ferreux de produit à appliquer,du type constitué d'un réceptacle formé d'un bac conformé pour recevoir au moins un pinceau plat ou un pinceau rond de profondeur correspondant sensiblement à la longueur maximum des soies y compris la bague de sertissage et pouvant contenir éventuellement en son fond du diluant et des moyens de maintien sur la boíte de produit à appliquer, selon l'invention ces moyens sont constitués d'un support magnétique définissant une zone centrale d'appui fixe magnétique ou non et de part et d'autre de celle-ci deux zones latérales magnétiques souples aptes à suivre la courbure éventuelle de la boíte de produit et constituées d'une pluralité d'éléments individuels magnétiques de forte aimantation réunis entre eux en juxtaposition et/ou superposition par des moyens de liaison définissant des zones de déplacements relatifs entre les éléments individuels magnétiques.More generally, the subject of the invention is a device intended to hold at least one brush of flat or round shape on a metal box of ferrous type of product to be applied, of the type consisting of receptacle formed of a container shaped to receive at least one flat brush or a round brush of corresponding depth substantially at the maximum length of the bristles including the crimping ring and possibly containing in its bottom of the thinner and holding means on the box product to be applied, according to the invention these means are made up of a magnetic support defining an area fixed support center magnetic or not and on both sides therefrom two flexible magnetic lateral zones suitable for follow the possible curvature of the product box and made up of a plurality of individual elements strong magnetism joined together in juxtaposition and / or superposition by connecting means defining areas of relative displacement between individual magnetic elements.

Ces éléments peuvent se présenter allongés sous forme de bandes d'élastomère naturel ou synthétique tel que par exemple caoutchouc, plastique, silicone magnétique ou de barreaux de ferrite rangés verticalement par rapport au bac disposés parallèlement les uns des autres de sorte à se positionner parallèlement à l'axe de la surface courbe métallique de la boíte.These elements can be elongated in the form of strips of natural or synthetic elastomer such as by example rubber, plastic, magnetic silicone or ferrite bars arranged vertically with respect to the tank arranged parallel to each other so as to be position parallel to the axis of the curved surface metallic of the box.

Ces éléments individuels peuvent être un ensemble de pastilles d'élastomère naturel ou synthétique tel que par exemple caoutchouc, plastique, silicone magnétique ou de ferrite disposées alignées selon une maille carrée ou en quinconce.These individual elements can be a set of natural or synthetic elastomer tablets such as by example rubber, plastic, magnetic silicone or ferrite arranged aligned in a square mesh or staggered.

La structure de liaison souple est constituée d'une feuille souple ou d'une structure ajourée sur laquelle sont solidarisés les éléments individuels magnétiques en étant soit rapportés soit reliés par enrobage soit moulés de façon monobloc sur ladite feuille.The flexible connection structure consists of a sheet flexible or of an openwork structure on which are joined the individual magnetic elements by being either attached or wrapped or molded so monobloc on said sheet.

Le support magnétique peut être constitué d'une structure de liaison souple sous forme de bande ou de toile sur laquelle est rapportée une feuille d'élastomère naturel ou synthétique tel que par exemple caoutchouc, plastique, silicone magnétique de forte aimantation dans laquelle sont ensuite usinées des zones d'intervalles de profondeur correspondant à l'épaisseur de la feuille magnétique de sorte à définir entre ces zones d'intervalles des bandes constituant les éléments individuels magnétiques.The magnetic support may consist of a structure of flexible bond in the form of a strip or canvas on which a sheet of natural or synthetic elastomer is added such as for example rubber, plastic, silicone magnetic of strong magnetization in which are then machined zones of intervals of depth corresponding to the thickness of the magnetic sheet so as to define between these zones of intervals of the bands constituting the elements individual magnetic.

En variante, les éléments individuels peuvent être constitués de feuilles souples de matériau magnétique superposées les unes sur les autres et reliées solidairement entre elles en partie centrale selon une ligne sensiblement verticale de sorte à ce que les feuilles superposées situées en zones latérales à ladite zone centrale de liaison soient reliées entre elles par adhésion magnétique en étant libres de pouvoir se déplacer légèrement par glissement les unes par rapport aux autres, lorsqu'elles sont mises en forme à la courbe de la boíte.Alternatively, the individual elements can be formed flexible sheets of magnetic material superimposed on top of each other and joined together in solid central part along a substantially vertical line of so that the overlapping sheets located in zones lateral to said central connection area are connected between them by magnetic adhesion while being free from ability to move slightly by sliding compared to others when they are formatted at the curve of the box.

Selon une autre variante,les éléments individuels magnétiques peuvent être réunis en juxtaposition et superposition et constitués de limaille aimantée disposée dans une enveloppe souple de faible épaisseur à double paroi fermée, soit subdivisée en plusieurs compartiments dont les zones de jonction constituent les intervalles, soit sous forme d'au moins un compartiment dans lequel les brins de limaille sont maintenus espacés ou répartis par des moyens de maintien souples tels que silicone, matériau fluant ou structure alvéolaire définissant des zones d'intervalles.According to another variant, the individual magnetic elements can be combined in juxtaposition and superposition and consisting of magnetic filings placed in an envelope flexible thin walled double wall, or subdivided into several compartments including the junction constitute the intervals, either in the form of at minus one compartment in which the filings are kept apart or distributed by holding means flexible such as silicone, fluent material or structure alveolar defining zones of intervals.

Selon d'autres particularités:
Le bac est du type évasé regroupant dans un même volume deux évidements, l'un destiné à un pinceau plat, l'autre central destiné à un pinceau rond et comportant un bandeau arrière incliné vers l'intérieur et présentant une bordure supérieure arrière légèrement en retrait par rapport au plan de la face d'appui de la partie fixe centrale du support magnétique de sorte à éviter tout écoulement du produit à appliquer entre ladite face d'appui et la paroi extérieure de la boíte et à protéger le support magnétique de produits corrosifs éventuels.According to other peculiarities:
The tray is of the flared type grouping in the same volume two recesses, one intended for a flat brush, the other central intended for a round brush and comprising a rear strip inclined inwards and having a rear border slightly in withdrawal from the plane of the support face of the central fixed part of the magnetic support so as to avoid any flow of the product to be applied between said support face and the outer wall of the box and to protect the magnetic product support corrosive.

La face avant du bac est arrondie et munie sur toute sa longueur d'une bordure supérieure en saillie vers l'intérieur du bac pour former égouttoir et pourvue dans sa partie médiane d'une zone concave destinée au maintien en position de l'embase du manche d'un pinceau rond.The front face of the tank is rounded and provided on all its length of an upper border projecting inwards of the pan to form a drainer and provided in its part median of a concave zone intended to hold in position the base of the handle of a round brush.

Le bac peut comporter en outre intérieurement à sa face avant et symétriquement à l'axe de concavité de la bordure deux nervures verticales allant en se rapprochant vers le fond destinées au renfort du bac et à l'égouttage des pinceaux. The container may also have internally on its front face and symmetrically to the concavity axis of the border two vertical ribs approaching towards the bottom intended for the reinforcement of the tank and for the draining of the brushes.

Les deux types de pinceaux prennent appui par leurs soies sur le fond (1d). L'embase du pinceau plat tient dans l'espace compris entre (1c), (1b), (1j) et celui du pinceau rond dans l'espace concave de la bordure (1i) et de la face arrière (1c). Ce bac a de façon non limitative une enveloppe arrondie sur sa face avant (la),et ses deux côtés (1b), une face arrière (1c) et un fond (1d). Sa forme verticale est conique et son ouverture évasée (1p), inclinée formant un angle x par rapport à l'horizontale pour faciliter l'introduction et le retrait du pinceau.The two types of brushes are supported by their bristles on the bottom (1d). The base of the flat brush fits in space between (1c), (1b), (1d) and that of the round brush in the concave space of the border (1i) and the rear face (1 C). This bin has, without limitation, a rounded envelope on its front face (la), and its two sides (1b), one face rear (1c) and a bottom (1d). Its vertical shape is conical and its flared opening (1p), inclined forming an angle x by horizontal to facilitate the introduction and brush removal.

D'autre part sont solidaires ou assemblés à l'enveloppe les éléments suivants:

  • Une bordure supérieure avant (1i) avec deux joues (1j),de même épaisseur que l'enveloppe et en saillie vers l'intérieur du bac pour former égouttoir et présentant dans sa partie médiane une zone concave destinée au maintien du pinceau rond. Cette bordure prend appui par ses deux joues (1j) sur la partie supérieure des deux nervures (1h).Les bords intérieurs de cette bordure (1i),(1j),et des deux nervures (1h) servent de racloir pour égoutter le pinceau lorsqu'on le retire d'un mouvement rotatif.
  • Deux nervures verticales (1h) disposées à l'intérieur de la face avant (1a) et symétriquement à l'axe de la concavité de la bordure (1i) et allant en se rapprochant vers le fond (1d).
  • Un bandeau plat (1k) de même épaisseur que l'enveloppe disposé sur le bord supérieur de la face arrière (1c) incliné vers l'intérieur du bac. Celui ci évite les coulis de produit en excès sur le pinceau entre boíte et bac lors du déplacement de ce dernier et protège le caoutchouc magnétique lorsqu'on utilise des produits corrosifs à appliquer. Sa largeur est sensiblement inférieure à l'épaisseur de l'ensemble épaulement + support magnétique pour éviter que son bord supérieur vienne toucher le corps de la boíte en empêchant ainsi une bonne application du support magnétique.
  • Un épaulement (1f) centré verticalement au dos de la face arrière (1c) formant zone d'appui central et présentant sur sa partie arrière éventuellement une face concave (1g) sur toute sa hauteur. Cette face concave a une courbure correspondant sensiblement à celles des boítes cylindriques d'une contenance allant de 0,5 à 2,5 litres de produits à appliquer existants courants, et destinée à la fixation du support magnétique (2) dont la surface totale est sensiblement équivalente à celle de la face arrière (1c),et qui constitue les moyens de maintien.
On the other hand, the following elements are attached to or assembled with the envelope:
  • A front upper border (1i) with two cheeks (1j), of the same thickness as the envelope and projecting towards the inside of the tank to form a drip tray and having in its central part a concave zone intended to hold the round brush. This border is supported by its two cheeks (1d) on the upper part of the two ribs (1h). The interior edges of this border (1i), (1d), and of the two ribs (1h) serve as a scraper to drain the brush when removed with a rotary motion.
  • Two vertical ribs (1h) arranged inside the front face (1a) and symmetrically to the axis of the concavity of the border (1i) and going towards the bottom (1d).
  • A flat strip (1k) of the same thickness as the envelope placed on the upper edge of the rear face (1c) inclined towards the inside of the tank. This avoids the excess product grout on the brush between box and tray when moving the latter and protects the magnetic rubber when using corrosive products to apply. Its width is significantly less than the thickness of the shoulder + magnetic support assembly to prevent its upper edge from touching the body of the box, thus preventing proper application of the magnetic support.
  • A shoulder (1f) centered vertically on the back of the rear face (1c) forming a central support zone and having on its rear part possibly a concave face (1g) over its entire height. This concave face has a curvature corresponding substantially to that of cylindrical boxes with a capacity ranging from 0.5 to 2.5 liters of existing existing products to be applied, and intended for fixing the magnetic support (2) whose total surface is substantially equivalent to that of the rear face (1c), and which constitutes the holding means.

Une description d'un autre exemple de mode de réalisation du RECEPTACLE va être faite en références aux figures 5a,5b et5c Le support magnétique représenté aux figures suivantes est constitué de deux parties latérales magnétiques souples indépendantes. Chaque partie est reliée au bac par un côté et montée articulée dans un angle à l'arrière du bac. A description of another exemplary embodiment of the RECEPTACLE will be made with reference to Figures 5a, 5b and 5c The magnetic support shown in the following figures is consisting of two flexible magnetic side parts independent. Each part is connected to the tank by one side and hinged mounted in a corner at the back of the tank.

La figure 5a représente une vue en perspective du réceptacle. La figure 5b représente une vue de dessus du réceptacle fixe sur une boíte de forme ronde.Figure 5a shows a perspective view of the receptacle. Figure 5b shows a top view of the fixed receptacle on a round box.

La figure 5c représente une vue de dessus du réceptacle fixé sur une boíte de forme droite.Figure 5c shows a top view of the fixed receptacle on a straight box.

Si l'on se reporte aux figures 5a,5b et 5c le réceptacle est constitué de deux ensembles.

  • d'un bac à pinceaux (1).
  • de deux parties latérales magnétiques souples (2). Le bac à pinceaux (1) est en matière plastique rigide ou dérivés. Sa forme peut être rectangulaire ,évasé ou pas. Sa largeur est suffisante pour contenir soit un pinceau plat (PP) ou un pinceau rond (PR) et éventuellement du diluant (DI) dans son fond (1d).
If one refers to Figures 5a, 5b and 5c the receptacle consists of two sets.
  • a brush tray (1).
  • two flexible magnetic side parts (2). The brush tray (1) is made of rigid plastic or derivatives. Its shape can be rectangular, flared or not. Its width is sufficient to contain either a flat brush (PP) or a round brush (PR) and possibly thinner (DI) in its bottom (1d).

Les deux parties latérales magnétiques souples (2) sont constituées par exemple de bandes de caoutchouc ou silicone magnétique de forte aimantation ou de barreaux de ferrite (2f) séparées par un petit intervalle (2i) rangées verticalement par rapport au bac et disposées parallèles les unes des autres de sorte à se positionner parallèlement à l'axe de la surface courbe métallique de la boíte. Ces bandes sont assemblées sur un feuille souple de caoutchouc magnétique ou non ,ou matériau synthétique (2a).The two flexible magnetic side parts (2) are made for example of rubber or silicone bands magnetic with strong magnetization or ferrite bars (2f) separated by a small interval (2i) rows vertically with respect to the tank and arranged parallel the from each other so as to be positioned parallel to the axis of the metallic curved surface of the box. These bands are assembled on a flexible sheet of rubber magnetic or not, or synthetic material (2a).

Chaque partie latérale magnétique souple (2) est montée articulée par un côté sur chaque extrémité arrière du bac, par exemple par encliquetage dans une rainure verticale d'angle arrière du bac (2k) permettant à celle-ci de s'adapter aux différents diamètres de boíte de forme ronde (3) ou droite (4).Each flexible magnetic side part (2) is mounted articulated by one side on each rear end of the tank, for example by snapping into a vertical groove rear corner of the tank (2k) allowing it to adapt to different round box diameters (3) or straight (4).

Cinq modes de réalisation du SUPPORT MAGNETIQUE utilisant des éléments individuels magnétiques assemblés en juxtaposition vont être décrits ci-après:
   Une description d'un 1er mode de réalisation du support magnétique souple va être faite en référence aux figures 2, 3 et 4 représentant l'ensemble des bandes parallèles magnétiques de forte aimantation ou de barreaux de ferrite supportées par une feuille souple. Five embodiments of the MAGNETIC SUPPORT using individual magnetic elements assembled in juxtaposition will be described below:
A description of a first embodiment of the flexible magnetic support will be made with reference to FIGS. 2, 3 and 4 showing all of the magnetic parallel strips of strong magnetization or of ferrite bars supported by a flexible sheet.

Le support magnétique est composé:

  • d'une feuille souple de caoutchouc magnétique ou pas ou matériau synthétique (2a) supportant sur une face:
  • un ensemble de bandes d'élastomère naturel ou synthétique tel que par exemple caoutchouc, plastique, silicone magnétique de forte aimantation ou de barreaux de ferrite (2f) séparées par un petit intervalle (2i) rangées verticalement par rapport au bac et disposées parallèles les unes des autres de sorte à se positionner parallèlement à l'axe de la surface courbe métallique de la boíte.
The magnetic support is composed:
  • a flexible sheet of magnetic rubber or not or synthetic material (2a) supporting on one side:
  • a set of strips of natural or synthetic elastomer such as for example rubber, plastic, magnetic magnet of strong magnetization or ferrite bars (2f) separated by a small gap (2i) arranged vertically with respect to the tank and arranged parallel to each other others so as to be positioned parallel to the axis of the metal curved surface of the box.

Le support magnétique souple ainsi constitué peut être soit fixé d'une façon amovible au bac par des moyens d'encliquetage ou soit rendu solidaire par collage soit monobloc par la face opposée de la feuille souple (2a) verticalement en son milieu dans le sens des bandes sur la face arrière concave (1g) de l'épaulement (1f) du bac définissant ainsi une zone magnétique centrale fixe (2g) et deux autres zones magnétiques latérales souples (2b) réparties également de part et d'autre de celle-ci permettant de répartir et d'éloigner du bac des points d'ancrage magnétiques plus résistants au décollage du support lorsqu'on exerce un effort sur le bac du fait que l'on n'agit pas directement sur eux.The flexible magnetic support thus formed can be either removably attached to the container by means or either secured by gluing either monobloc by the opposite face of the flexible sheet (2a) vertically in the middle in the direction of the bands on the concave rear face (1g) of the shoulder (1f) of the tank thus defining a fixed central magnetic area (2g) and two other flexible lateral magnetic zones (2b) equally distributed on both sides of it allowing distribute and move anchor points away from the bin magnetic more resistant to takeoff of the support when exerts an effort on the tank due to the fact that no action is taken directly on them.

La zone magnétique centrale fixe (2g) représente ici une surface correspondant sensiblement à celle de trois rangées de bandes. Celles ci peuvent suivre la forme de la face concave (1g) de l'épaulement et présenter une surface épousant parfaitement la forme arrondie de la paroi de la plupart des boítes circulaires de produits à appliquer courants (3). Dans ce cas, pour les boítes de forme droite (4), l'éloignement (2m) de la bande centrale par rapport à la paroi représente une perte de force d'attraction négligeable comparée à celle de l'ensemble des bandes. Les bandes faisant partie des deux zones latérales souples (2b) peuvent se rapprocher ou s'éloigner l'une de l'autre par les intervalles (2i) les séparant en s'articulant librement par l'intermédiaire de la feuille souple (2a) pour épouser parfaitement les différents diamètres de boítes de forme ronde ou droite.La feuille souple (2a) rend solidaire l'ensemble des bandes et permet leur articulation de sorte que celles ci présentent toujours leur face d'appui à la boíte métallique perpendiculaire au rayon de la courbe afin d'obtenir une orientation optimum des lignes de force magnétique pour une aimantation maximum.The fixed central magnetic area (2g) here represents a surface substantially corresponding to that of three rows of bands. These can follow the shape of the face concave (1g) of the shoulder and present a surface perfectly matching the rounded shape of the wall of the most circular boxes of products to apply currents (3). In this case, for straight boxes (4), the distance (2m) of the central strip from the wall represents a negligible loss of attraction compared to that of all bands. The bands making part of the two flexible lateral zones (2b) can be move towards or away from each other by the intervals (2i) separating them by articulating freely by through the flexible sheet (2a) for marrying perfectly the different diameters of shaped boxes round or straight.The flexible sheet (2a) makes it integral all of the bands and allows them to be articulated so that these always present their support face to the metal box perpendicular to the radius of the curve so to obtain an optimum orientation of the lines of force magnetic for maximum magnetization.

Les intervalles (2i) doivent être suffisamment petits (par exemple de 0,5 à 1,5mm) pour éviter une perte d'aimantation trop importante mais suffisants pour permettre au support magnétique de s'adapter aux boítes de petit diamètre.The intervals (2i) must be sufficiently small (for example from 0.5 to 1.5mm) to avoid loss of magnetization too large but sufficient to allow support magnetic to adapt to small diameter boxes.

Ces intervalles peuvent être constants ou allant en croissant ou décroissant du centre de la zone centrale vers l'extérieur.These intervals can be constant or increasing or decreasing from the center of the central area towards outside.

Pour assurer une bonne stabilité de l'ensemble boíte/bac/pinceaux il est préférable de positionner le bac dans le bas de la boíte de telle façon que la face extérieure de son fond (1d) soit en contact avec le plan support (5) de la boíte (3).To ensure good overall stability box / tray / brushes it is best to position the tray in the bottom of the box so that the outside of its bottom (1d) is in contact with the support plane (5) of the box (3).

Une description d'un 2ème mode de réalisation du support magnétique souple va être faite en référence à la figure 6 représentant des pastilles alignées selon une maille carrée ou en quinconce.A description of a second embodiment of the flexible magnetic holder is going to be made with reference to FIG. 6 representing pellets aligned according to a square or staggered mesh.

Les figures 6a,6b ,6c représentent en coupe selon aa,bb,cc les pastilles de différentes sections.Figures 6a, 6b, 6c show in section along aa, bb, cc pellets of different sections.

Les éléments individuels magnétiques sont constitués de pastilles d'élastomère naturel ou synthétique tel que par exemple caoutchouc, plastique, silicone magnétique ou de ferrite disposées alignées selon une maille carrée ou en quinconce et rapportés soit sur une feuille souple pleine magnétique ou non ou sur une structure ajourée (14).The individual magnetic elements consist of natural or synthetic elastomer tablets such as by example rubber, plastic, magnetic silicone or ferrite arranged aligned in a square mesh or staggered and reported either on a full flexible sheet magnetic or not or on an openwork structure (14).

Comme illustré , ces pastilles peuvent être de section cylindrique (10), tronconique (11), ou polygonale (12).As illustrated, these pellets can be of section cylindrical (10), frustoconical (11), or polygonal (12).

Une description d'un 3ème mode de réalisation du support magnétique souple va être faite en référence à la figure 7 représentant les éléments individuels magnétiques reliés à la structure souple par enrobage.A description of a 3rd embodiment of the flexible magnetic holder is going to be made with reference to figure 7 representing the individual magnetic elements connected to the flexible structure by coating.

Les figures 7a,7b,7c,7d représentent en coupe selon aa,bb,cc,dd les bandes d'élastomère naturel ou synthétique tel que par exemple caoutchouc, plastique, silicone magnétique ou de barreaux de ferrite de différentes sections. Figures 7a, 7b, 7c, 7d show in section along aa, bb, cc, dd strips of natural or synthetic elastomer such as for example rubber, plastic, silicone magnetic or ferrite bars of different sections.

L'ensemble des fragments magnétiques et de la structure souple sont monoblocs, réalisés par enrobage avec des zones épaisses correspondant aux fragments magnétiques (de 15 à 18) et des zones minces (20,21) assurant la liaison souple.All the magnetic fragments and the structure flexible are monoblocks, made by coating with zones thick corresponding to magnetic fragments (from 15 to 18) and thin zones (20,21) ensuring the flexible connection.

Ces zones minces étant situées par rapport à l'épaisseur des zones les plus épaisses soit en surface extérieure (20) ou en partie interne (21) notamment centrale comme illustré suivant les figures 7f et 7g.These thin areas being located relative to the thickness of the thickest areas either on the outer surface (20) or partly internal (21), particularly central as illustrated according to Figures 7f and 7g.

Une description d'un 4ème mode de réalisation du support magnétique souple va être faite en référence à la figure 8 représentant les éléments individuels magnétiques reliés à la structure souple par moulage.A description of a 4th embodiment of the flexible magnetic holder is going to be made with reference to figure 8 representing the individual magnetic elements connected to the flexible structure by molding.

Les figures 8a,8b,8c,8d représentent en coupe selon aa,bb,cc,dd les éléments magnétiques de différentes section. L'ensemble des fragments magnétiques et de la structure souple sont obtenus par moulage d'une seule pièce, réalisé par procédé d'extrusion ou de co-extrusion en introduisant alternativement dans l'élastomère en fusion des particules métalliques appropriées dans les zones épaisses (de 25 à 28) et pas dans les intervalles constituant les zones minces (20,21) assurant la liaison souple. Ensuite l'ensemble peut être aimanté.Figures 8a, 8b, 8c, 8d show in section along aa, bb, cc, dd the magnetic elements of different sections. All the magnetic fragments and the structure flexible are obtained by molding in one piece, made by extrusion or co-extrusion process by introducing alternately in the molten elastomer of the particles metal suitable for thick areas (25 to 28) and not in the intervals constituting the thin zones (20,21) ensuring the flexible connection. Then the whole can to be magnetized.

Comme dans le mode de réalisation par enrobage les zones minces peuvent être situées par rapport à l'épaisseur des zones les plus épaisses soit en surface extérieure (20) ou en partie interne (21) notamment centale comme illustré suivant les figures 8f et 8g.As in the embodiment by coating the zones thin can be located relative to the thickness of thickest areas either on the outer surface (20) or in internal part (21) in particular central as illustrated according to Figures 8f and 8g.

Une description d'un 5ème mode de réalisation du support magnétique souple va être faite en référence aux figures 9a et 9b représentant la structure souple sous forme de bande ou de toile assemblée par une face à une feuille magnétique de forte aimantation dans laquelle sont usinés les intervallles. On assemble par exemple par collage sur la structure souple (2a) une feuille d'élastomère naturel ou synthétique tel que par exemple caoutchouc, plastique, silicone magnétique de forte aimantation (2f) dans laquelle sont usinées les zones d'intervalles (2i) de profondeur correspondant à l'épaisseur de la feuille magnétique. A description of a 5th embodiment of the flexible magnetic support will be made with reference to Figures 9a and 9b showing the flexible structure in form of tape or canvas assembled by one face to a sheet magnetic with strong magnetization in which the interval. We assemble for example by gluing on the flexible structure (2a) a sheet of natural elastomer or synthetic such as for example rubber, plastic, strong magnet magnetic silicone (2f) in which the interval zones (2i) deep are machined corresponding to the thickness of the magnetic sheet.

Un mode de réalisation du SUPPORT MAGNETIQUE utilisant des éléments individuels magnétiques assemblés en superposition va être décrit ci-après en référence à la figure 10 représentant des feuilles souples magnétiques assemblées en superposition.An embodiment of the MAGNETIC SUPPORT using individual magnetic elements assembled in superposition will be described below with reference to FIG. 10 representing magnetic flexible sheets superimposed.

Les éléments individuels magnétiques (2f) sont constitués de feuilles souples d'élastomère naturel ou synthétique tel que par exemple caoutchouc, plastique, silicone magnétique assemblées en superposition les unes sur les autres et réunies solidairement entre-elles verticalement en leur centre définissant ainsi une zone centrale d'appui fixe magnétique ou non (2g) et de part et d'autre de celle-ci deux zones latérales souples magnétiques (2b).The individual magnetic elements (2f) consist of flexible sheets of natural or synthetic elastomer such as e.g. rubber, plastic, magnetic silicone assembled one on top of the other and joined together vertically in their center thus defining a fixed central support area magnetic or not (2g) and on either side of it two flexible magnetic side zones (2b).

Les feuilles souples des deux zones (2b) adhèrent entre elles magnétiquement et sont aptes à se conformer selon la courbure de la boíte en générant des légers déplacements relatifs entre elles du fait du petit entrefer d'air existant entre chacune d'elles. Les feuilles dont les bords extérieurs sont libres peuvent être décalées, la plus éloignée de la partie centrale étant celle qui se trouve en contact direct avec la boíte, les autres se superposant les unes sur les autres.The flexible sheets of the two zones (2b) adhere to each other magnetically and are able to conform according to the curvature of the box by generating slight relative displacements between them due to the small air gap between each of them. The leaves whose outer edges are can be offset, the farthest from the part central being that which is in direct contact with the box, the others overlapping each other.

Une mode de réalisation du SUPPORT MAGNETIQUE utilisant des éléments individuels magnétiques assemblés en juxtaposition et en superposition va être décrit ci-après en référence aux figures 11a et 11b: représentant de la limaille métallique aimantée enfermée dans une enveloppe souple (31).An embodiment of the MAGNETIC SUPPORT using individual magnetic elements assembled in juxtaposition and superimposed will be described below with reference to Figures 11a and 11b: representative of metal filings magnetized enclosed in a flexible envelope (31).

Les éléments individuels magnétiques (2f) sont réunis entre eux en juxtaposition et superposition et sont constitués de limaille métallique aimantée appropriée (30) disposée dans une enveloppe souple de faible épaisseur (31) à double paroi (32) fermée, soit subdivisée en plusieurs compartiments (34) (35) dont les zones de jonction (36) constituent les intervalles soit sous forme d'au moins un compartiment (33) dans lequel les brins de limaille sont maintenus espacés ou répartis par des moyens de maintien souples (37) tels que silicone, matériau fluant ou structure alvéolaire définissant des zones d'intervalles.The individual magnetic elements (2f) are joined between them in juxtaposition and overlay and are made up of suitable magnetic metal filings (30) arranged in a thin, flexible double-walled envelope (31) (32) closed, or subdivided into several compartments (34) (35) whose junction zones (36) constitute the intervals either in the form of at least one compartment (33) in which the strands of filings are kept apart or distributed by flexible holding means (37) such as silicone, fluent material or cellular structure defining interval zones.
