Abstract

Painting roll has a support (200) forming an handle (210) and two arms (232,242) connecting to one end of the roll (100). The support is made of two parts, each with an arm, which can each slide relatively to the other, driving the arms apart. The roll itself is made of a tube (110) covered with a fabric layer (120).

Description

L'invention concerne les dispositifs pour peindre du type comportant un rouleau et une monture permettant d'entraíner manuellement le rouleau en rotation le long d'une surface.The invention relates to devices for painting of the type comprising a roller and a mount for manually driving the roller rotating along a surface.

Dans le cadre de la présente invention, il faut entendre par « peinture » toute matière formée de pigments de couleur ou de charges décoratives véhiculés par un liant fluide ou pâteux destiné à sécher.In the context of the present invention, the expression “ "Paint" any material formed by color pigments or fillers decorative carried by a fluid or pasty binder intended to dry.

On a proposé, dans le document FR 1 457 903, une monture à deux branches en V, chaque branche présentant à son extrémité un tronçon d'axe pointant vers l'autre branche.Document FR 1 457 903 has proposed a frame with two V-shaped branches, each branch having a section at its end axis pointing to the other branch.

Avec ce dispositif, on écarte les branches selon une distance supérieure à la longueur du rouleau, puis on fait pénétrer les deux tronçons d'axe dans les extrémités du rouleau. Le rouleau se trouve alors pincé longitudinalement entre les extrémités des branches, cet effet de pincement retenant les tronçons d'axe dans le rouleau.With this device, we spread the branches by a distance greater than the length of the roll, then we penetrate the two sections axis in the ends of the roller. The roller is then pinched longitudinally between the ends of the branches, this pinching effect retaining the axis sections in the roller.

Un tel dispositif, s'il permet un changement aisé du rouleau, nécessite des branches particulièrement robustes et élastiques. Des branches à forte section sont donc nécessaires, préférentiellement métalliques, qui rendent la monture lourde et coûteuse.Such a device, if it allows an easy change of the roller, requires particularly robust and elastic temples. Of branches with a large cross-section are therefore necessary, preferably metal, which make the frame heavy and expensive.

L'invention vise à résoudre ces inconvénients.The invention aims to solve these drawbacks.

On propose pour cela un dispositif à peindre destiné à recevoir un rouleau pour retenir de la peinture, comportant un support formant poignée prévu pour maintenir le rouleau libre en rotation, le support formant deux bras aptes à coopérer avec chacune des extrémités du rouleau (100), les bras et les extrémités du rouleau portant des aménagements complémentaires, désolidarisables par écartement des deux bras, le support formant au moins deux pièces coulissantes l'une sur l'autre, dont au moins une porte un des deux bras, de sorte qu'un coulissement relatif de ces deux pièces correspond à un écartement des deux bras, caractérisé en ce que le support forme un carter sensiblement cylindrique s'étendant le long du rouleau et entourant partiellement ce dernier. For this, we propose a painting device intended to receive a roller for retaining paint, comprising a handle support designed to keep the free roller rotating, the support forming two arms able to cooperate with each of the ends of the roller (100), the arm and ends of the roller carrying arrangements complementary, separable by spacing the two arms, the support forming at least two sliding parts one on top of the other, including minus one carries one of the two arms, so that a relative sliding of these two parts correspond to a spacing of the two arms, characterized in that the support forms a substantially cylindrical casing extending the along the roller and partially surrounding it.

D'autres caractéristiques, buts et avantages de l'invention apparaítront à la lecture de la description détaillée qui va suivre, faite en référence aux figures annexées sur lesquelles :

  • la figure 1 est une vue en perspective d'un dispositif à rouleau selon une première variante de l'invention ;
  • la figure 2 est une vue en perspective d'un dispositif à rouleau selon une seconde variante de l'invention ;
  • la figure 3 est une vue en coupe longitudinale d'un bras de maintien d'extrémité selon l'invention.
Other characteristics, objects and advantages of the invention will appear on reading the detailed description which follows, made with reference to the appended figures in which:
  • Figure 1 is a perspective view of a roller device according to a first variant of the invention;
  • Figure 2 is a perspective view of a roller device according to a second variant of the invention;
  • Figure 3 is a longitudinal sectional view of an end holding arm according to the invention.

Le dispositif de la figure 1 comprend classiquement un rouleau 100 formé d'un tube 110 entouré d'un revêtement externe 120 textile spécialement prévu pour être chargé en peinture. Il comprend également une monture 200 formant un manche 210 et un carter 220 qui longe le rouleau 100, ce carter portant à ses extrémités deux flasques rotatifs 237 et 247 placés dans les extrémités du tube 110 du rouleau 100.The device of FIG. 1 conventionally comprises a roller 100 formed of a tube 110 surrounded by an external textile covering 120 specially designed to be loaded with paint. It also includes a frame 200 forming a handle 210 and a casing 220 which runs along the roller 100, this casing carrying at its ends two rotary flanges 237 and 247 placed in the ends of the tube 110 of the roller 100.

Le carter 220 forme classiquement une paroi entourant partiellement le rouleau 100, ici sur environ 90°, pour agir comme gouttière à peinture.The housing 220 conventionally forms a wall partially surrounding the roller 100, here about 90 °, to act as a paint gutter.

Le carter 220 se referme en outre sur chaque extrémité du rouleau 100 à chaque fois par une paroi transversale à ce dernier, qui porte à chaque fois sur sa face intérieure une collerette cylindrique de maintien d'un des flasques 237 ou 247.The housing 220 also closes on each end of the roller 100 each time by a wall transverse to the latter, which leads to each time on its inner face a cylindrical collar for holding a flanges 237 or 247.

On a représenté sur la figure 3 un ensemble 240 comprenant une telle paroi d'extrémité 242 du carter 220, sa collerette intérieure 245 et un flasque 247 monté à rotation sur la collerette 245.FIG. 3 shows a set 240 comprising a such end wall 242 of the casing 220, its inner flange 245 and a flange 247 rotatably mounted on the flange 245.

Cet ensemble présente la particularité de former un équipage mobile à coulissement longitudinal sur le carter 220. Le carter 220 s'arrête au niveau de cet équipage 240 par simple interruption de sa partie courante, formant donc une bordure en arc de cercle perpendiculaire à la direction principale du carter. La paroi transversale 242 forme un bord inférieur en arc de cercle qui s'étend parallèlement au bord du carter 220 et ce bord inférieur se prolonge dans la direction principale du carter 220 en formant une coque 244, de même forme que le carter 220 et qui vient recouvrir intérieurement celui-ci. This set has the particularity of forming a mobile crew with longitudinal sliding on the housing 220. The housing 220 stops at the level of this crew 240 by simple interruption of its current part, thus forming a circular arc border perpendicular to the direction main housing. The transverse wall 242 forms a lower edge in arc of a circle which extends parallel to the edge of the casing 220 and this edge lower extends in the main direction of the casing 220 forming a shell 244, of the same shape as the casing 220 and which covers internally this one.

Cette coque cylindrique présente la même étendue transversale que le carter 220, et forme par ses bords longitudinaux à chaque fois un repli qui vient recouvrir un bord longitudinal correspondant au carter 220. L'équipage 240 entoure donc partiellement le carter 220 à la façon d'une agrafe dans laquelle le carter 220 est libre de coulisser. La coque 244 et le carter 220 sont munis de moyens de retenue de l'équipage 240 dans des positions choisies de ce dernier le long du carter 220. Ces moyens, ici un ergot élastique porté par l'équipage et deux crans de réception de cet ergot formés sur le carter 220, maintiennent de manière libérable l'équipage dans deux positions, l'une déployée où les flasques sont écartées d'une distance supérieure à la longueur du rouleau 100, l'autre rétractée où les flasques présentent un écartement sensiblement égal à la longueur du rouleau pour maintenir ce dernier en étant engagés dans ses extrémités. Les éléments de retenue sont prévus pour se libérer lorsque l'équipage est soumis à une force de coulissement élevée.This cylindrical shell has the same transverse extent as the casing 220, and forms by its longitudinal edges each time a fold which covers a longitudinal edge corresponding to the casing 220. The crew 240 therefore partially surrounds the casing 220 in the manner of a clip in which the housing 220 is free to slide. The hull 244 and the casing 220 are provided with means for retaining the crew 240 in chosen positions of the latter along the casing 220. These means, here a elastic lug worn by the crew and two notches for receiving this lug formed on the housing 220, releasably hold the crew in two positions, one deployed where the flanges are spaced a distance apart greater than the length of the roll 100, the other retracted where the flanges have a spacing substantially equal to the length of the roller for maintain the latter by being engaged at its ends. The elements restraints are provided for release when the crew is subjected to a high sliding force.

Dans une variante, un ressort non représenté peut être monté entre ces deux pièces 220 et 240 pour rappel longitudinal de l'équipage 240 vers le centre de la gouttière 220.Alternatively, a spring not shown can be mounted between these two parts 220 and 240 for longitudinal recall of the crew 240 towards the center of the gutter 220.

La coque 244 et le carter 220 portent en outre ici des éléments de butée respectifs qui se rencontrent dans une position d'écartement extrême de l'équipage 240, empêchant ce dernier de se désolidariser du carter 220.The shell 244 and the housing 220 further carry here elements of respective stopper which meet in a position of extreme spacing of the crew 240, preventing the latter from detaching from the casing 220.

Le carter 220 présente dans sa partie recouverte par la coque 244 une largeur légèrement plus faible que dans sa partie courante.The housing 220 has in its part covered by the shell 244 a width slightly smaller than in its current part.

Il présente pour cela un décrochement de ses bords longitudinaux qui permet de placer les bords repliés de la coque 244 dans le prolongement des bords de la partie courante du carter 220.It has for this a recess of its longitudinal edges which allows you to place the folded edges of the shell 244 in the extension of the edges of the current part of the casing 220.

La collerette cylindrique 245 maintenant le flasque 247 est munie d'au moins une fente longitudinale débouchant à son extrémité libre qui permet un rétrécissement transversal de cette collerette lorsqu'elle est glissée dans le flasque 247 au montage. Elle présente également à son extrémité libre une excroissance annulaire 246 pour retenir le flasque 247 en position emboítée.The cylindrical flange 245 holding the flange 247 is provided at least one longitudinal slot opening at its free end which allows a transverse narrowing of this flange when it is slid into the flange 247 during assembly. She also presents to her free end an annular protuberance 246 to retain the flange 247 in the nested position.

L'équipage 240 est avantageusement réalisé en polypropylène. The crew 240 is advantageously made of polypropylene.

On notera que la collerette 245 est disposée légèrement en retrait par rapport au sommet de la paroi latérale 242, de sorte que cette paroi s'étend sur l'ensemble du pourtour de la collerette, arrêtant ainsi un éventuel écoulement de peinture arrivant le long de la collerette 245.It will be noted that the flange 245 is disposed slightly recessed relative to the top of the side wall 242, so that this wall extends over the entire periphery of the collar, thus stopping a possible flow of paint arriving along the flange 245.

Le flasque 247 forme un disque 249 de diamètre supérieur à celui du tube 110 et contre lequel vient buter l'extrémité du tube 110.The flange 247 forms a disc 249 with a diameter greater than that of the tube 110 and against which the end of the tube 110 abuts.

Le disque 249 porte sur sa face tournée vers le rouleau deux cylindres coaxiaux 248 et 250, dont le cylindre interne 248 entoure de manière complémentaire la collerette 245 et dont le cylindre externe 250 est emboíté dans le tube 110 en contact annulaire contre la face intérieure de ce tube. Le cylindre externe 250 porte à proximité du disque 249 une excroissance annulaire 251 venant en appui contre la face interne du tube 110 de manière à former un joint d'étanchéité entre l'intérieur du rouleau 100 et ce cylindre 250.The disc 249 carries on its face turned towards the roller two coaxial cylinders 248 and 250, the inner cylinder 248 of which surrounds in a complementary manner the flange 245 and whose external cylinder 250 is fitted into the tube 110 in annular contact against the inner face of this tube. The external cylinder 250 carries near the disc 249 a annular protuberance 251 bearing against the internal face of the tube 110 so as to form a seal between the inside of the roller 100 and this cylinder 250.

L'intérieur du tube 110 et donc fermé par une barrière étanche constituée du cylindre externe 250, du disque 249 et du cylindre interne 248.The inside of the tube 110 and therefore closed by a tight barrier consisting of the external cylinder 250, the disc 249 and the internal cylinder 248.

En vue en coupe longitudinale, le tube 110 semble donc se renfermer vers son intérieur par ces trois parties successives.In longitudinal section view, the tube 110 therefore seems to be enclose towards its interior by these three successive parts.

Les flasques 247 et 237 sont ici assemblés sur la monture 200. Il est toutefois possible de les prévoir fixés sur le rouleau 100 et facilement amovibles par rapport à la monture 200.The flanges 247 and 237 are assembled here on the mount 200. It is however possible to foresee them fixed on the roller 100 and easily removable from the 200 mount.

Tel qu'illustré sur la figure 1, l'un des replis formés par la coque 244 de l'équipage 240 autour du bord longitudinal de la gouttière 220 présente en partie courante une fenêtre 260 mettant à jour le bord longitudinal du carter 220. Par rapport à la tranche du carter dépassant de cette fenêtre 260, la fenêtre 260 est bordée d'un côté par la coque 244, et de l'autre par une portion de repli longeant la tranche selon une forme en arc de cercle bombée en éloignement de la tranche. Cette portion en arc de cercle est au contact de la face externe du carter. Plus précisément, elle porte un ergot en appui élastique contre la face externe du carter, qui vient frotter contre le carter lors du coulissement et se loger dans des cavités formées sur le carter, correspondant respectivement à la position écartée et à la position refermée.As illustrated in FIG. 1, one of the folds formed by the shell 244 of the crew 240 around the longitudinal edge of the gutter 220 present in the main part a window 260 updating the longitudinal edge of the casing 220. Relative to the edge of the casing protruding from this window 260, the window 260 is bordered on one side by the shell 244, and on the other by a portion of fold along the edge in an arcuate shape curved away from the edge. This portion in an arc is at contact of the external face of the casing. Specifically, she wears a lug in elastic support against the external face of the casing, which rubs against the housing during sliding and being housed in cavities formed on the casing, corresponding respectively to the spread position and to the position closed.

Selon une variante, l'élément 240 peut former une partie en saillie par exemple à son extrémité la plus proche du centre du carter 220, une telle partie étant facilement repoussée en éloignement du manche 210 par le pouce de la main avec laquelle il tient le manche 210. Un tel aménagement est particulièrement aisé à mettre en place lorsque la coque cylindrique de l'équipage 240 recouvre le carter 220 en face externe.According to a variant, the element 240 can form a projecting part for example at its end closest to the center of the housing 220, a such part being easily pushed away from the handle 210 by the thumb of the hand with which he holds the handle 210. Such layout is particularly easy to put in place when the hull cylindrical of the crew 240 covers the casing 220 on the external face.

Le carter 220 est muni à son extrémité opposée d'un flasque rotatif 239 porté par une paroi transversale 232 venue de matière avec le carter 220. Cette seconde paroi transversale 232 n'est donc pas mobile sur le carter 220 mais, selon une variante représentée à la figure 2, le carter 220 peut également porter à chacune de ses extrémités un équipage coulissant 240 conforme à celui décrit précédemment.The housing 220 is provided at its opposite end with a rotating flange 239 carried by a transverse wall 232 integrally formed with the casing 220. This second transverse wall 232 is therefore not movable on the casing 220 but, according to a variant shown in FIG. 2, the casing 220 can also carry a sliding assembly at each of its ends 240 conforms to that described above.

Le fait d'adopter deux tels éléments téléscopiques permet au fabricant de fournir diverses longueurs de rouleaux, en ne faisant varier que la longueur de la pièce centrale 220, qui est particulièrement simple de réalisation.Adopting two such telescopic elements allows the manufacturer to supply various lengths of rolls, varying only the length of the central part 220, which is particularly simple to production.

Le manche 210 présente ici la particularité d'être formé d'une paroi tubulaire et d'être parcouru par deux ouvertures oblongues 215, 217 sur deux côtés opposés, s'étendant chacune sur une longueur qui est du même ordre de grandeur que la largeur de la paume de la main.The handle 210 has the particularity here of being formed by a wall tubular and to be traversed by two oblong openings 215, 217 on two opposite sides, each extending over a length which is the same order of magnitude as the width of the palm of the hand.

Ces deux ouvertures 215 et 217 sont placées proches de l'extrémité libre du manche 210 et de part et d'autre d'un plan géométrique principal du rouleau qui passe par le manche 210 et le rouleau 100.These two openings 215 and 217 are placed close to the end free from the handle 210 and on either side of a main geometric plane of the roller which passes through the handle 210 and the roller 100.

Ces deux ouvertures 215 et 217 se trouvent à l'intérieur de la main de l'utilisateur.These two openings 215 and 217 are inside the hand of the user.

Selon une variante, un tel manche reçoit une pièce en élastomère introduite dans celui-ci par son extrémité ouverte, cette pièce venant affleurer dans les ouvertures 215 et 217 pour fournir une adhérence toute particulière au manche 210.According to a variant, such a handle receives an elastomer part introduced into it by its open end, this part coming flush into openings 215 and 217 to provide full grip particular to handle 210.

Selon une autre variante, la cavité interne du manche 210 reçoit un élément dont les parties affleurantes à travers les ouvertures 215 et 217 portent des inscriptions caractéristiques par exemple du vendeur du rouleau.According to another variant, the internal cavity of the handle 210 receives a element the parts of which are flush with the openings 215 and 217 bear characteristic inscriptions for example of the seller of the roller.

On notera également que le carter 220 présente une partie centrale en coque formant une convexité vers l'extérieur du carter. Sur cette coque vient se fixer le manche 210 de sorte que cette partie en coque fournit une rigidité accrue du carter 220 au voisinage du point de fixation du manche.It will also be noted that the casing 220 has a central part in shell forming a convexity towards the outside of the casing. On this shell attaches the handle 210 so that this shell part provides a increased rigidity of the casing 220 in the vicinity of the handle attachment point.

Le manche 210 peut être clipsé, vissé sur le carter 220, ses moyens de fixation pouvant être prévus amovibles.The handle 210 can be clipped, screwed onto the casing 220, its means fixing which can be provided removable.

Selon une variante de l'invention, le carter 220 peut présenter une autre forme, par exemple être une simple traverse rectiligne ou en V.According to a variant of the invention, the casing 220 can have a other shape, for example being a simple straight or V-shaped cross member.

On notera que les moyens décrits précédemment fournissent un maintien particulièrement efficace du rouleau, sans pour autant être soumis à de fortes sollicitations. On peut donc grâce à l'invention réaliser un dispositif dont l'ensemble des pièces, notamment le carter 220, les parois transversales 232 et 242, les collerettes 235 et 245, les flasques 237 et 247, sont réalisés en matière plastique. L'invention permet donc un gain en légèreté et en coûts de fabrication.Note that the means described above provide a particularly effective holding of the roller, without being subjected to heavy loads. We can therefore thanks to the invention achieve a device including all the parts, in particular the casing 220, the walls transverse 232 and 242, the flanges 235 and 245, the flanges 237 and 247, are made of plastic. The invention therefore allows a gain in lightness and manufacturing costs.
