Definitions

  • the invention relates to devices for painting of the type comprising a roller and a frame for manually driving the roller in rotation along a surface.
  • paint means any material formed of color pigments or decorative fillers carried by a fluid or pasty binder for drying.
  • U.S. 5,921,905 discloses a paint roller holder comprising two sets configured to support a paint roller, each having a rack associated with a pinion that can be actuated to adjust the distance between the two sets to accommodate the holder at different lengths of paint. rolls.
  • the branches are spaced at a distance greater than the length of the roller, then the two axle sections are penetrated into the ends of the roller.
  • the roll is then pinched longitudinally between the ends of the branches, this pinching effect retaining the axis sections in the roll.
  • Such a device if it allows easy change of the roller, requires particularly robust and elastic branches. Branches with a large section are necessary, preferably metal, which make the mount heavy and expensive.
  • the invention aims to solve these disadvantages.
  • a painting device for receiving a roller for retaining paint, comprising a support forming a handle designed to keep the roller free in rotation, the support forming two arms capable of cooperating with each end of the roller (100). , the arms and ends of the roller carrying complementary arrangements, separable by spacing the two arms, the support forming at least two sliding parts on one another, at least one door one of the two arms, so that a relative sliding of these two parts corresponds to a spacing of the two arms, characterized in that the support consisting of the two sliding parts form a substantially cylindrical housing extending along the roller and partially surrounding the latter.
  • the device of the figure 1 typically comprises a roll 100 formed of a tube 110 surrounded by a textile outer coating 120 specially designed to be loaded with paint. It also comprises a frame 200 forming a handle 210 and a housing 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 roll 100.
  • the housing 220 conventionally forms a wall partially surrounding the roll 100, here about 90 °, to act as a paint channel.
  • the housing 220 is further closed on each end of the roll 100 each time by a wall transverse thereto, which carries each time on its inner face a cylindrical collar for holding one of the flanges 237 or 247.
  • This assembly has the particularity of forming a movable longitudinally sliding assembly on the casing 220.
  • the casing 220 stops at this crew 240 by simply interrupting its current portion, thus forming a circular arcuate border perpendicular to the direction main case.
  • the transverse wall 242 forms a lower edge in an arc which extends parallel to the edge of the casing 220 and this lower edge extends in the main direction of the casing 220 forming a shell 244, of the same shape as the casing 220 and which internally covers this one.
  • This cylindrical shell has the same transverse extent as the housing 220, and forms with its longitudinal edges each time a fold which covers a longitudinal edge corresponding to the housing 220.
  • the crew 240 thus partially surrounds the housing 220 in the manner of a clip in which the housing 220 is free to slide.
  • the hull 244 and the housing 220 are provided with crew retaining means 240 in selected positions of the latter along the housing 220.
  • a spring not shown can be mounted between these two parts 220 and 240 for longitudinal return of the crew 240 to the center of the gutter 220.
  • the hull 244 and the housing 220 furthermore carry here respective abutment elements which meet in an extreme spacing position of the crew 240, preventing the latter from separating from the housing 220.
  • the casing 220 has in its portion covered by the shell 244 a slightly smaller width than in its current portion.
  • the cylindrical flange 245 holding the flange 247 is provided with at least one longitudinal slot opening at its free end which allows a transverse narrowing of the flange when it is slid into the flange 247 assembly. It also has at its free end an annular protuberance 246 for retaining the flange 247 in the nested position.
  • the crew 240 is advantageously made of polypropylene.
  • the collar 245 is arranged slightly recessed with respect 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 collar 245.
  • the flange 247 forms a disc 249 of greater diameter than the tube 110 and against which abuts the end of the tube 110.
  • the disc 249 carries on its side facing the roll two coaxial cylinders 248 and 250, the inner cylinder 248 of which surrounds the flange 245 in a complementary manner and the outer cylinder 250 of which is fitted into the tube 110 in annular contact against the inner face of the flange. this tube.
  • the outer cylinder 250 carries near the disc 249 an annular protrusion 251 bearing against the inner face of the tube 110 so as to form a seal between the inside of the roll 100 and the cylinder 250.
  • the inside of the tube 110 is thus closed by a sealed barrier consisting of the outer cylinder 250, the disc 249 and the inner cylinder 248.
  • the tube 110 thus seems to be closed to its interior by these three successive parts.
  • the flanges 247 and 237 are here assembled on the mount 200. However, it is possible to provide them fixed on the roll 100 and easily removable relative to the mount 200.
  • one of the folds formed by the hull 244 of the crew 240 around the longitudinal edge of the gutter 220 has in current portion a window 260 updating the longitudinal edge of the housing 220.
  • the window 260 is bordered on one side by the shell 244, and on the other by a folding portion along the edge in a circular arcuate shape away from the wafer.
  • This portion in an arc is in contact with the outer face of the housing. More specifically, it bears a lug in elastic support against the outer face of the housing, which rubs against the housing when sliding and lodge in cavities formed on the housing, respectively corresponding to the spread position and the closed position.
  • the element 240 may form a projecting portion for example at its end closest to the center of the housing 220, such a portion being easily pushed away from the handle 210 by the thumb of the hand with which it holds the sleeve 210.
  • Such an arrangement is particularly easy to implement when the cylindrical shell of the crew 240 covers the housing 220 on the outer face.
  • the casing 220 is provided at its opposite end with a rotatable flange 239 carried by a transverse wall 232 formed integrally with the casing 220.
  • This second transverse wall 232 is therefore not movable on the casing 220 but, according to a variant shown to the figure 2 , the housing 220 may also carry at each of its ends a sliding assembly 240 as described above.
  • the handle 210 here has the particularity of being formed of a tubular wall and being traversed by two oblong openings 215, 217 on two opposite sides, each extending over a length which is of the same order of magnitude as the width. from the palm of the hand.
  • These two openings 215 and 217 are placed close to the free end of 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.
  • such a handle receives an elastomer piece introduced into it by its open end, this piece being flush in the openings 215 and 217 to provide a very particular adhesion to the handle 210.
  • the internal cavity of the handle 210 receives an element whose flush portions through the openings 215 and 217 bear characteristic inscriptions for example from the seller of the roll.
  • the casing 220 has a central portion in shell forming a convexity towards the outside of the casing. On this shell is fixed the handle 210 so that this portion in shell provides increased rigidity of the housing 220 in the vicinity of the point of attachment of the handle.
  • the handle 210 can be clipped, screwed on the housing 220, its fixing means can be provided removable.
  • the housing 220 may have another shape, for example V.
  • the means described above provide a particularly effective maintenance of the roll, without being subjected to heavy stresses. It is therefore possible thanks to the invention to produce a device in which all the parts, in particular the housing 220, the transverse walls 232 and 242, the flanges 235 and 245, the flanges 237 and 247, are made of plastics material. The invention thus allows a gain in lightness and manufacturing costs.
