Description

L'invention concerne les dispositifs pour peindre du type comportant un rouleau et une monture permettant d'entraîner 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 frame for manually driving the roller in rotation 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 term "paint" means any material formed of color pigments or decorative fillers carried by a fluid or pasty binder for drying.

Le document US-5 921 905 décrit un support de rouleau pour peinture comprenant deux ensembles configurés pour supporter un rouleau de peinture, comportant chacun une crémaillère associée à un pignon susceptible d'être actionné pour ajuster la distance séparant les deux ensembles afin d'adapter le support à des longueurs différentes de rouleaux.The document 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.

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.It was proposed in the document FR 1 457 903 , a mount with two branches V, each branch having at its end a section of 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, 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.

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 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.

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

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 constitué des deux pièces coulissantes forme un carter sensiblement cylindrique s'étendant le long du rouleau et entourant partiellement ce dernier.To this end, a painting device is proposed 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.

D'autres caractéristiques, buts et avantages de l'invention apparaîtront 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:
  • the figure 1 is a perspective view of a roller device according to a first variant of the invention;
  • the figure 2 is a perspective view of a roller device according to a second variant of the invention;
  • the 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 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.

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 roll 100, here about 90 °, to act as a paint channel.

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 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.

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.We have shown on the figure 3 an assembly 240 including such an end wall 242 of the housing 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 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.

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 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. These means, here an elastic lug carried by the crew and two receiving notches of this lug formed on the housing 220, releasably maintain the crew in two positions, one deployed where the flanges are spaced a distance greater than the length of the roller 100, the other retracted where the flanges have a spacing substantially equal to the length of the roller to maintain the latter being engaged in its ends. Retaining members are provided to 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 return of the crew 240 to 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 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.

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

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 purpose a recess of its longitudinal edges which allows to place the folded edges of the shell 244 in the extension of the edges of the running part of the housing 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 emboîtée.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.

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 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.

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 of greater diameter than the tube 110 and against which abuts the end of the tube 110.

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 emboîté 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 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.

L'intérieur du tube 110 est 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 is thus closed by a sealed barrier consisting of the outer cylinder 250, the disc 249 and the inner cylinder 248.

En vue en coupe longitudinale, le tube 110 semble donc se renfermer vers son intérieur par ces trois parties successives.In longitudinal sectional view, the tube 110 thus seems to be closed to 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 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.

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 on the figure 1 , 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. Compared to the edge of the housing protruding from this window 260, 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.

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.Alternatively, 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.

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 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.

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.The fact of adopting two such telescopic elements allows the manufacturer to provide various lengths of rollers, varying only the length of the central piece 220, which is particularly simple.

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 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.

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 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.

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 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.

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 an element whose flush portions through the openings 215 and 217 bear characteristic inscriptions for example from the seller of the roll.

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 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.

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 on the housing 220, its fixing means can be provided removable.

Selon une variante de l'invention, le carter 220 peut présenter une autre forme, par exemple en V.According to a variant of the invention, the housing 220 may have another shape, for example V.

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.It will be noted that 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.
