Definitions
- the invention relates to the means of applying paint, for example brushes, rollers or pads.
- Paint rollers have been proposed having a sleeve of very small dimensions, and the support of which is particularly elongated (hare's paw).
- Radiator brushes have also been proposed having an elongated handle and a brush head mounted at an angle to the handle.
- the "hare's foot” type roller does not allow access to the narrowest places and the radiator brush remains difficult to handle.
- the present invention proposes to resolve these drawbacks by proposing means for applying paint which are both very handy and which allow access to the narrowest places.
- a device for painting characterized in that it comprises a support formed by a handle, by a wire which extends this handle and which describes an elbow then a return substantially transverse to the direction. of the handle, device further comprising a paint application element as well as means for holding this element on the support, means designed to be releasably fixed in position on the transverse return of the support, these means being capable of producing a rotation control of the application element relative to the support.
- FIG. 1 shows a device according to the invention, comprising a brush head clipped to a wire frame, and having a swivel ball of the brush head;
- - Figure 2 is a cross section of a clip clamp of the device of Figure 1, in place on the wire frame;
- - Figure 3 shows a device according to the invention, substantially similar to the device of Figure 1, but in which the brush head is of the flat brush type;
- FIG. 4 shows a device according to the invention comprising an application pad mounted by clipping on a wire frame, and having a ball of orientation of the pad;
- FIG. 5 shows a device according to the invention, comprising a rotary roller whose axis is orientable on a wire frame by clipping, with a swivel joint between the axis of the roller and the wire frame;
- the device of Figure 1 consists of three main sets.
- These three sets are respectively a support 100, an element 200 intended to be loaded with paint (application element), and an assembly 300 ensuring a support between the application element 200 and the support 100.
- the support 100 is generally in the form of a conventional metallic frame for a paint roller.
- the wire 120 From the handle 110 at its end, the wire 120 first describes a rectilinear section 122 aligned with a main axis X of the handle 110, then departs laterally from the direction of the handle, and forms a bend 125 sufficiently closed to ultimately form a rectilinear return 127 and direction substantially perpendicular to the handle 110.
- This return 127 is however here of a particularly short length.
- the paint application element 200 is held in position on this return 127 by the holding means 300, without the possibility of sliding along the return 127 and without the possibility of rotation around this return 127.
- the fixing means 300 have a portion 310 which extends along the wire 120 towards the handle 110 and is fixed on a portion of the elbow 125.
- the holding means 300 also comprise a ball joint, consisting of a hub part 355 secured to the brush head 200 and a receptacle part, receptacle part composed by an association of the above-mentioned element 310 with a second element 320 attached to the wire.
- the two elements 310 and 320 forming the receptacle can be brought closer to one another by clamping, the hub 355 being able to be immobilized in the receptacle by this clamping.
- the two approximable elements 310 and 320 therefore form two jaws around the hub 355.
- a first jaw 310 which pinches the elbow 125 of the wire 120, remains fixed during screwing, the other jaw 320 is driven along the return 127 during screwing.
- the fixed jaw 310 extends towards the handle 110 by forming a clamp which snaps onto the elbow 125.
- the clamp forms two side walls 312 and 313 which delimit a groove 316, in which groove extends the wire 120.
- This groove 316 is open towards one side of the main geometric plane of the support 100 .
- the wall 312 carries on its internal face a protrusion 317 along the free edge of this wall 312. This protrusion 317 and placed so that the wire element 120 is placed between this protrusion 317 and the bottom of the groove 316.
- the protuberance 317 has an oblique slope towards the bottom of the groove 316 which delimits, together with the opposite wall 313, a shape which converges away from the bottom. This throat 316 with edges converging ensures stable maintenance of the metallic wire 120 in the bottom of the groove 316, without play.
- the side wall 312 carrying the protrusion 317 is placed on the internal side of the elbow 125 and thus prevents the assembly 310 from sliding away from the rectilinear return 127.
- the opposite wall 313 external to the elbow 125 is opposed, it, with a possible sliding of the jaw 310 in the direction of the rectilinear return 127.
- the jaw 310 is therefore put in place by simple approximation in force on the wire 120, the walls 312 and 313 moving away from each other during the setting up.
- the jaw 310 extends beyond the elbow 125 towards the outside thereof, thus preventing friction of the dirty metal against the surface to be painted.
- the jaw 310 has, apart from its clamp part intended for engaging the elbow 125, a part intended for receiving the wire which is generally released.
- the jaw 310 surrounds the straight portion 127 over the whole of its periphery.
- the jaw 310 has a through passage in which the return 127 is introduced through its end and then the jaw 310 is pivoted around the straight portion 127 until the opening of the groove 316 faces the elbow 125.
- a tab 314 is provided extending from the free edge of the wall 313 away from the groove 316. A pressure of the finger on this tab 314 produces a separation of the wall 313 relative to to the wire 120 as well as a sliding of the wire out of the clamp.
- the other jaw 320 of the ball joint which is driven by screwing, has a longitudinal channel 322 of the same diameter as that of the wire return 127.
- the length of this channel is chosen so that, when the two jaws 310 and 320 are closed on the hub 355, the end of the jaw 320 very slightly protrudes from the end of the wire return 127.
- the wired return 127 is itself provided at this end with a threaded internal passage in which a screw 330 is engaged.
- the screwing of the screw 330 pushes the jaw 320 towards the jaw 310, tightening the hub 355.
- the user obtains a tool whose support is elongated and narrow, and the application element is optimally positioned depending on the location to be reached.
- the jaws 310 and 320 each form a cavity 315, 325 of spherical shape. These two cavities 315 and 325 face each other and together form an overall cavity 340 which receives approximately two thirds of the hub 355. This overall cavity 340 is open away from the support
- the angular clearance allowed for the brush head 200 is limited by the edges of this opening, the limit positions of the brush head 200 being those where the connecting element 358 abuts against the edges of the opening.
- this cavity 340 is sufficiently open to be able to position the brush head in an angular cone of approximately 60 ° around the main axis X of the support 100, which is also here the axis of the handle 110.
- cutouts 345 are provided in the edges of the cavity 340, which form notches for the connecting element 358 of the brush head 200.
- These notches 345 each have a circular shape to receive the connection 358 in a complementary manner.
- notches 345 are four in number here, placed at the four cardinal points around the axis X.
- a first notch 345 maintains the brush head 200 in the main plane of the support 100 in position oblique to the X axis, a second notch 345 maintains the brush head 200 on the opposite side of the X axis and always in the main plane of the support 100.
- the third and fourth notches 345 correspond to two opposite oblique positions with respect to the axis X, this time in a plane perpendicular to the main plane of the support 100.
- the angular adjustment can be carried out here in two dimensions, that is to say, both in the plane of the frame 100 and transversely to this plane.
- the angular adjustment is limited to a clearance in a chosen plane and / or in a limited angular range.
- the brush head 200 is placed in a preferred position where it extends obliquely with respect to the axis X of the handle 110, that is to say obliquely with respect to the main axis X of the support 100, here in the main plane of support 100 and obliquely to the return 127.
- a lock in this position is particularly suitable for painting in places that are difficult to access.
- the brush head also points on the same side as that on which the wire return 127 points, which is advantageous.
- the ideal oblique orientation is that of Figure 1, in the plane of the support first, pointing on the same side as the return 127 on the other hand.
- the brush head 200 can be a brush head of the flat type, as shown in FIG. 3.
- the application element 200 is a pad composed of a plate 210, which is substantially rigid, covered with a textile layer 220.
- the rigid plate 210 is provided in the central part with a connecting finger, referenced 358 as in the previous example, connecting finger 358 which carries a hub 355 at its end.
- This hub 355 is engaged in a spherical receptacle 340 formed by two jaws 310 and 320 similar to those previously described.
- the spherical receptacle 340 has a particularly pronounced border cutout towards one side of the main plane of the support 100.
- This border cutout makes it possible to place the shoe 200 so that the plane of the latter is practically parallel to the plane of the support 100.
- such a border which is particularly open towards one side of the plane of the support 100 allows a more pronounced angular movement of the shoe 200, making it possible to bring the plane of the shoe 200 closer to the plane of the support 100, thus forming a tool which can be easily inserted into a cramped place.
- the main axis of the shoe 200 that is to say the axis normal to the shoe, can be placed in a particularly oblique direction relative to the axis of the handle 110, which is also the main axis of the support 100.
- the shoe 200 can be held in different orientations relative to the metal frame 100, according to the needs of the user.
- the edge of the cavity 340 forms semicircular notches 345 which reinforce the maintenance of the hub 355 in particular positions of the pad 200.
- fixing means 300 similar to those of the examples described above are proposed, however the paint application element 200 is an assembly forming both a rotary sleeve 250 and an axis of rotation 230 of this sleeve.
- the axis of rotation 230 forms at its first end the hub 355, and extends from the hub to receive the sleeve in rotation.
- This tool therefore includes a support similar to conventional mounts of paint rollers, but the roller is mounted on an axis not aligned with the return 127, but attached to the support by means of an element allowing angular adjustment.
- the axis 240 can be placed by the user in a chosen position, preferably in one of the stable positions where the axis 240 is housed in one of the cutouts of the edge of the cavity 340.
- the angular adjustment of the position of the roller allows the user to optimize the shape of his tool in adaptation to the type of place to be reached.
- the roller is kept in an oblique position relative to the main axis X of the handle 110, ideally oblique to the return 127 and ideally in the plane of the support 100.
- X preferably in the plane of the support 100 and preferably oblique to the return 127.
- rotation means for example a ball joint, which are left free to rotate at during application, in a limited range of rotation, preferably around an oblique position relative to the handle 110.
- This arrangement is particularly advantageous in the case of a shoe.
- This angular limitation is done, for example, by selectively limiting the opening of the cavity 340 for receiving the hub, and by not producing any tightening of the hub 355.
- This arrangement allows the painter to introduce the tool into a particularly inaccessible place, and, by moving the application element 200 within this authorized range, to cause a change in configuration of the tool to a configuration more suited to the actual application phase.
- it is provided, as a variant, to adopt a telescopic handle 110 on the wire 120, with means for holding in a telescoping position of chosen extent.
