Definitions
- This invention relates to a large can for a brushable coating composition which can has a capacity of above 0.2 litres and is conveniently closable by a screw-thread lid.
- the can is large enough to be useful as a container for paints, lacquers, varnishes, woodstains and any other coating compositions of the type which are commonly applied using large brushes (usually at least 20mm wide and at least 5mm broad) at ambient temperatures (say 5 to 40°C) to surfaces found in buildings.
- Such compositions are often applied by amateur, that is to say “do-it-yourself” or "DIY” painters.
- the cans will be frequently referred to as "paint cans" even though they are useful for containing other brushable coating compositions.
- EP 0 464 083A published in 1992 tackled the problem of overloaded brushes by providing a chordally extending brushwipe within the circular opening of a paint can conventionally closeable by means of a press-fit lid.
- the can is apparently a large can of about 2.5 litres judging by its size relative to the human hand shown in Figure 3 of EP 0 464 083A.
- An object of this invention is to provide a large can for containing a brushable coating composition which is conveniently closeable and reopenable without the need for a sharp tool by means of a screw-thread lid.
- An object of a development of the invention is to adapt the can to reduce the risk of paint transferring to the screw-threads from a brush laid at rest by providing a rest for the brush which rest is inside the can and remote from the rim of the opening into the can.
- a further developement makes the can more comfortable to hold so that it is easier to control the loading of the brush with the coating composition and hence overloading is less likely.
- this invention provides a large can (for example a paint can) for a brushable coating composition which can has
- the invention also provides a combination of the can and a screw-thread lid in position on the can so as to close the opening and particularly such a combination which contains a brushable coating composition such as paint, lacquer, varnish or woodstain.
- a brushable coating composition such as paint, lacquer, varnish or woodstain.
- a re-entrant rebate is provided in the side wall of the can to assist users in gripping the can comfortably and to guide them to a more favourable orientation of the brushwiping edge.
- a suitable rebate comprises an angled concavity created by two mutually inclined webs which extend into the can and meet along the angle forming an angled edge. If the brushwipe has a distal brushwiping edge comprising portions of larger and smaller curvatures (for example if it is elliptical) then it is preferred that the line of the angled edge should at least in part approximately follow the curve of a portion of larger curvature.
- the edge is elliptical, it is preferred that the line of the angled edge be approximately parallel to the tangent to the elliptical brushwiping edge at the extremities of its minor diameter.
- the rebate is also dimensioned so as to receive a human thumb comfortably, then on gripping the can between the fingers and thumb of one hand with the thumb in the rebate, the user will automatically be guided to align the brushwipe favourably.
- a favourable alignment results in a wiping action comprising a movement towards or away from the user as opposed to transversely of the user. Such movement allows good control over the wiping action.
- the length of the angled edge is preferably from 30 to 75 mm.
- the top surface of the upper web also serves as a brush-rest so avoiding the need to rest an overloaded brush on the rim of the opening.
- the top web be inclined at an angle of from 20 to 50° to the horizontal so as to provide a good rest whilst allowing paint to flow back into the can.
- Gripping and alignment of the can may be further assisted by providing a circumferentiably extending waste which preferably extends around from 40 to 75% of the girth of the can.
- the waste may be dimensioned to receive human fingers comfortably.
- the waste may be dimensioned to receive a thumb whilst the rebate is dimensioned to receive the fingers.
- the brushwipe should terminate in a distal brushwiping edge. This reduces the risk of paint splashing onto the rim of the opening from where it could flow into the screw-threads. It is also preferred that the brushwiping edge should extend completely around the opening so as to offer a some degree of brushwiping capability irrespective of the orientation of the can relative to the user.
- the brushwiping edge should comprise portions of different curvatures.
- a portion having a large curvature is useful for wiping the edge bristles of a rectangular brush whilst a portion of smaller curvature is useful in wiping the lateral bristles.
- a brushwiping edge may map out an elliptical or semi-elliptical shape.
- An elliptical shape allows greater spacing from the opening in an area where the front and back lateral faces of an overloaded brush are most likely to be wiped.
- the elliptical shape also has the advantage of a relatively sharp curve around the extremities of the major diameter which can be used to wipe edge bristles of a brush and also can be used as a lip to guide paint when being poured from the can.
- a semi-elliptical shape is less obstructive in the opening and so broader brushes can be received into the opening.
- the brushwipe prefferably slope downwardly into the can. Such a slope both helps removed paint to flow back into the can and to fall back into the can along a path well clear of the side wall.
- the slope should be from 20 to 60° to the horizontal.
- the brushwipe can be provided as a separate component which is fitted into the opening for example by press-fitting, snap-fitting or push-fitting followed by adhesive bonding if necessary.
- the brushwipe can be formed in a compound injection/blow moulding process during which the rest of the can is also formed.
- the opening and the screw-threads can be formed very precisely in the injection moulding operation along with a parison from which the lower portion of the can is subsequently formed during the blow moulding operation.
- the lid and its screw-threads are also formed by a precision injection moulding process, it is possible to achieve a good fluid-tight engagement when the lid is screwed onto the can.
- precision injection moulding allows precise control of the thickness of the parison so that the thickness can be varied to accommodate the different degrees of stretching undergone by different portions of the parison during blow moulding.
- the opening and its threads can be cooled until they are form-stable. They then do not need to be deliberately re-heated because they do not take part in the blow moulding operation.
- the shoulder on cooling can provide a shape-defining surface for a portion of the parison. This allows a portion of the parison to be blown back onto the shoulder to form the brushwipe.
- the cans may be moulded from various thermodeformable materials.
- Preferred materials are plastics including polyamides, polyethylenes, polypropylenes, butadiene-styrene polyesters and polyethylene terephthalates. Crystalline thermoplastics which can be orientated during blow moulding are especially preferred.
- Figure 1 shows a paint can 1 suitable for containing 0.5 litres of paint and having a circular opening 2 as shown in Figure 3 which opening 3 is defined by cylindrical inner surface 3 and cylindrical outer surface 4.
- Screw-threads 5 extend around outer surface 4 and are dimensioned so as to be able to receive screw-threads 6 formed on the inside of screw-thread lid 7 as shown in Figure 15. Threads 5 and 6 can co-operate to retain screw-thread lid 7 on can 1 as shown in Figure 2 whereby lid 7 closes opening 2.
- Can 1 also has a circumferential rib 8 which acts as a stop for lid 7 to prevent over-tightening which might increase the risk of jamming..
- Figure 3 shows a circumferential brushwipe 9 located within opening 2 and which extends inwardly and downwardly of opening 2 at an angle of 50° to the horizontal and terminating in an elliptical distal brushwiping edge 10.
- Edge 10 throughout its whole extent is spaced inwardly from inner surface 3 of opening 2. Such spacing ensures that the brushwiping means constituted by edge 10 is always remote from both inner surface 3 and even more so from outer surface 4 and screw-threads 5 which receive lid 7 during closing.
- the remoteness virtually eliminates any risk of outer surface 4 and threads 5 being contaminated by paint wiped from an overloaded brush by use of edge 10. Therefore, lid 7 can be conveniently screwed on and off can 1 with little risk of jamming.
- the elliptical shape of brushwiping edge 10 provides a portion 10a of small curvature which is useful in wiping the front and back faces presented by the bristles of a rectangular paint brush whilst also providing a sharp angular portion 10b of high curvature which is useful in wiping the end bristles of the brush.
- Portion 10b of high curvature also serves as a sort of lip when paint is poured from can 1 so that the flow of paint can be guided during pouring.
- Can 1 is conveniently made by a compound injection/blow moulding process in which opening 2, screw threads 5, rib 8 and shoulder 16 shown in Figure 6 are all formed together with parison 11 by injection moulding a suitable thermoplastics material.
- injection moulding allows very precise reproduction particularly of opening 2 and screw-threads 5 which is important to the achievement of a the best possible fluid-tight fit between the screw-threads 5 and 6 when lid 7 is screwed into its closing position on can 1.
- FIG 7 shows opening 2 and integral parison 11 in a blow mould 12 which comprises shape-defining elements 13 and 14 which define side walls 17 and base 18 of can 1 as shown in Figure 8.
- Blow mould 12 also comprises a plug 19 fitted with nozzle 20 for admitting air under high pressure into cavity 21.
- Plug 19 serves to prevent any inwards distortion of opening 2 and shoulder 16 should they become unavoidably heated during the time when the thermoplastics material comprising parison 11 is heat-softened to permit blow-moulding to occur.
- Blow moulding is performed by heating the thermoplastics parison 11 to allow it to become deformable and then admitting air under high pressure into cavity 21 via nozzle 20 where it blows parison 11 into conformity with shape-defining elements 13 and 14 as shown in Figure 8.
- Formation of opening 2 and shoulder 16 by injection moulding prior to the blow moulding process has the important additional advantage of avoiding the need for their further positive heating because they do not have to be shaped under air pressure as does the parison 11. This means that opening 2 and shoulder 16 remain form-stable and so shoulder 16 can serve as a shape-defining surface for portion 19 of parison 11. Therefore during blow moulding, portion 19 is blown back against shoulder 16 with the result that an initially two-leaved brushwipe 9 is formed.
- portion 19 Heat from portion 19 then partially melts the underside of shoulder 16 causing portion 19 to integrate with shoulder 16 to form a single piece brushwipe 9.
- the ability of shoulder 16 to remain form-stable during blow moulding allows brushwipe 9 to be formed as part of the blow moulding process.
- Figure 9 shows a paint can 31 identical with can 1 in every respect except for the shape of its side wall 37 below rib 8.
- Side wall 37 has been developed by a modification which guides a user of can 31 into orientating it so that small curvature portion 10a of brushwiping edge 10 is presented in the most comfortable alignment for wiping the flat faces of a rectangular paint brush.
- a comfortable alignment encourages efficient removal of excess paint from the brush which in turn reduces the risk of paint dripping from the brush onto threads 5 as the brush is withdrawn from can 31.
- Side wall 37 is modified by the presence of a re-entrant rebate 32 comprising two partially elliptical webs 33 and 34 joined along the line of angled edge 35 as shown in Figures 9 and 11 to 13.
- the line of the angled edge 35 is approximately parallel to the tangent to elliptical brushwiping edge at an end of its minor diameter shown as C-C in Figure 13.
- Angled edge 35 is 60 mm in length and is dimensioned to accommodate a human thumb comfortably.
- Can 31 also has a partially circular waste 36 which extends around 75% of the circumference of can 31 and it too is dimensioned so as to accommodate human fingers comfortably when together with their associated thumb, they grip can 31.
- the natural orientation of can 31 presents angled edge 35 (and hence brushwiping portion 10a) in an alignment relative to the user of can 31 such that the most comfortable brush wiping action involves a movement of the brush towards or away from the user (as opposed to a lateral movement relative to the user) which allows for greater control of the wiping action.
- Figure 10 shows that the line of waist 36 follows a path which is arcuate in a vertical plane. This accommodates a natural tendency for users to be more comfortable if the middle portion of their gripping figures rise slightly upwards relative to their thumb.
- FIG 14 shows precision injection moulded lid 7 suitable for use on either can 1 or can 31 and Figure 15 shows screw threads 6 formed on the inside of lid 7.
- Internal upper surface 37 of angled re-entrant rebate 35 is also used as a brush rest allowing a paint brush to be rested with its bristles inside can 35 so further reducing the likelihood of paint contaminating screw threads 6 by providing an alternative to resting a loaded brush on the rim of opening 2.
- Upper web 34 is inclined at 45° to the horizontal.
- Figure 16 shows a modification to the brushwipe 9 of Figure 3.
- brushwiping edge 10c is concentric with inner surface 3 of opening 2 so producing a semi-elliptical shape for brushwipe 9.
- the semi-elliptical shape allows broader wide brushes to be received into opening 2.
- Figure 17 shows a modification to the brushwipe 9 of Figure 5.
- brushwipe 9 is formed separately from the rest of can 1 but it makes an interference fit into opening 2 in which its outer surface 9a abuts against inner surface 3 of opening 2.
