Definitions

  • the present invention relates to apparatus for spraying liquids (for example, spray guns) according to the preamble of claim 1, and, to the liquid containers or reservoirs of such apparatus according to the preamble of claim 14.
  • apparatus and containers are known from US-A-4 811 904 .
  • Therm are many uses, in many different fields, for disposable containers. For example, many goods are packaged in disposable containers (e.g. bags) either before or after purchase. When the disposable container is a plastic bag, it will often be re-used by the purchaser as a disposable liner for another receptacle, for example a refuse bin.
  • disposable liners are produced specifically for use in other, re-usable, receptacles: in those cases, the liner may be intended to aid disposal of the contents of the receptacle (as in the case of a liner in a refuse bin); to protect the receptacle or its contents; or to facilitate, or even eliminate, the cleaning of the receptacle.
  • a liner in a receptacle in which a substance like glue, paint or plaster is mixed or contained for use can be particularly advantageous, in terms of facilitating the cleaning of the receptacle after use and of preventing substances in the receptacle from being contaminated by the remains of other substances.
  • Receptacles in which paints are mixed or contained for use must be clean to ensure that the colour or quality of the paint is not altered by traces of other substances: that is particularly important, as explained above, when a vehicle is being re-painted and the paint is required to match an existing one.
  • disposable waxed paper cups it is often the practice in vehicle body shops to use disposable waxed paper cups as mixing containers, particularly when only a small amount of paint is required.
  • An alternative approach, proposed in US-A-4 383 635 involves the provision of a disposable container which, for use, is located in a re-usable frame-like receptacle.
  • Guns for spraying liquids are generally well known and typically comprise a reservoir in which a liquid to be dispensed is contained, and a spray nozzle through which the liquid is dispensed, under pressure, under the control of a trigger mechanism.
  • the liquid may be fed from the reservoir under gravity and/or it may be entrained in a stream of pressurized fluid, for example air or water, which is supplied to the gun from an external source.
  • the cleaning operation involves the use of comparatively large amounts of solvents which, for environmental reasons, should be handled and disposed of with care. That, in turn, can add substantially to the cost of a painting operation. It has already been suggested (see, for example, EP-A-0 678 334 mentioned above) that the use of a disposable liner in the paint reservoir (i.e, the paint pot) of a spray gun can simplify the cleaning of the gun and reduce the amount of solvent required.
  • the present invention is concerned with the provision of a container which is sufficiently inexpensive to be disposable and which can preferably be collapsed when it is to be disposed of but which, nevertheless, is comparatively easy to handle and to fill when in use.
  • the present invention is also concerned with enabling the cleaning of spray guns and like apparatus to be simplified, and with thereby enabling the time and expense associated with that operation to be reduced.
  • the present invention provides liquid spraying apparatus as defined in claim 1.
  • Other preferred features are defined in the dependent claims.
  • the container preferably comprises side walls and a comparatively-rigid base thermo/vacuum-formed from a plastics material; wherein the side walls are thin in comparison to the base and are collapsible, but the container is capable of standing unsupported, on the base with the side walls extended and upright.
  • the container comprises a base, and side walls extending from the base; wherein the base and side walls are thermo/vacuum formed together from a plastics material in such a manner that the base is comparatively rigid and the side walls are thin in comparison to the base and are collapsible but the container is capable of standing unsupported, on the base with the side walls extended and upright.
  • Some embodiments provide a gravity-fed spray gun comprising a fluid reservoir having a removable lid located in an opening in the reservoir; and a spray nozzle for dispensing fluid drawn from within the reservoir through an outlet in the lid; wherein the reservoir is removable from the gun and is capable of standing on its own to enable fluid to be loaded into the reservoir through the opening.
  • Some embodiments provide a spray gun comprising a fluid reservoir; and a spray nozzle for dispensing fluid from within the reservoir; the reservoir comprising a self-supporting container which is removable from the gun and is collapsible for disposal.
  • the present invention provides a gravity feed reservoir for a spray gun as defined in claim 14.
  • Other preferred features are defined in the dependent claims.
  • Some embodiments provide a fluid reservoir for attachment to a spray gun, the reservoir having a removable lid which is located in an opening in the reservoir and in which is formed a fluid outlet for the reservoir, the fluid outlet being shaped for attachment to the spray gun; and a closable air vent in the end of the reservoir remote from the lid.
  • thermo/vacuum-forming means a process by which a sheet of material is heated to a softened condition and formed into a required shape, defined by a mould, while in that softened condition. It includes the case in which the application of a differential air pressure is used to assist in forming the material into the required shape and, in particular, includes the case in which a vacuum is produced on one side of the material to assist in forming it into the required shape (also known simply as "vacuum-forming").
  • paint is used herein to include all forms of paint-like coating materials that can be applied to a surface using a spray gun, whether or not they are intended to colour the surface.
  • the term includes, for example, primers, base coats, lacquers and similar materials.
  • Fig. 1 of the drawings illustrates a typical prior art paint spray gun 1 of the gravity-feed type.
  • the gun 1 comprises a body 2, a handle 3 which extends downwards from the rear end of the body, and a spray nozzle 4 at the front end of the body.
  • the gun is maaually-operated by a trigger 5 which is pivotally-mounted on the sides of the gun.
  • the paint reservoir, or paint pot, 6 which contains paint (or similar material) to be discharged by the gun, is located on the top of the body 2 and communicates with an internal passageway (not visible) for compressed air, which extends through the gun from a connector 7 at the lower end of the handle 3 to the nozzle 4.
  • the connector 7 is connected to a source of compressed air (not shown) so that, when the user pulls on the trigger 5, compressed air is delivered through the gun to the nozzle 4 and entrains and atomizes paint which is being delivered under gravity from the pot 6. The paint is then discharged through the nozzle 4 with the compressed air, as a spray.
  • Fig. 1 shows the cap 8 of the pot 6 removed for this purpose, and a conical filter 9 about to be positioned on the open end of the pot.
  • the filter 9 is shown as being a known type of disposable conical filter, having solid sides and a filter mesh portion 10 at the pointed end of the cone.
  • Fig. 2 illustrates an alternative form of paint pot 40 for a spray gun 1, which is entirely disposable.
  • the paint pot 40 has a disposable container 41, described below.
  • the container 41 of Fig. 2 can be any conventional disposable container suitable for containing paint and for attachment to a paint pot lid 42.
  • the container 41 may, for example, be formed from a thin plastic material, preferably translucent (as shown) so that the contents of the container are visible and preferably having markings 43 on the side walls to enable the volume of the contents of the container to be determined.
  • An air hole 44 is formed in the base of the container, together with some means for closing the air hole when desired. That means may take the form of a strip of adhesive tape (not shown) which is peeled back to open the hole 44 and can be re-adhered to close the hole when required. Alternatively, a flip-top closure or some simple hand-operated valve mechanism may be provided.
  • the container 41 has an external screw-thread at its open end, for attachment of the lid 42 and is shaped, at its upper end 42A, for attachment to a spray gun (if necessary by means of a suitable adapter).
  • the lid 42 may be formed from the same material as the container 41 and, as shown, may also be translucent.
  • a flat filter mesh 45 which is also disposable, extends across the mouth of the container 41.
  • the mesh 45 may be a separate item, held at its periphery between the lid 42 and the container 41, or it may be formed integrally with the lid.
  • the lid 42 and filter mesh 45 are removed from the container 41 which is then filled with paint (care being taken that the air hole 44 in the base of the container is closed). It is unnecessary to strain the paint when it is put into the container 41 and, as described above, it is possible to mix the paint in the container thereby avoiding the need for a separate receptacle for that purpose.
  • the lid 42 and mesh 45 are then put back in position on the container 41, the lid 42 is attached to the (inverted) spray gun 1 which is then returned to its normal position, and the air hole 44 in the base of the container is opened.
  • the spray gun 1 can now be used in the usual way.
  • the air hole 44 is closed-off again, the pot 40 is detached from the gun 1 and may then be discarded leaving only the gun to be cleaned.
  • the spray gun 1 can be re-inverted and the trigger 5 of the gun operated to allow excess paint remaining in the gun to drain back into the pot. In either case, if sufficient paint remains in the pot 40, the pot could be re-sealed (instead of being discarded) and used again.
  • the container 41 of the pot is formed so that it can be collapsed after use. In some cases, it may be possible for the lid 42 also to be collapsible.
  • the lid 42 could be a reusable component and would be cleaned with the gun.
  • the disposable container 41 it is possible for the disposable container 41 to be supplied as a cartridge already filled with paint and sealed by a cover which would simply be removed-before the container is attached to the lid 42.
  • the filter mesh 45 could be either a disposable or a reusable component.
  • the container 41 and lid 42 together could be supplied as a cartridge sealed by a removable cover, at the upper end 42A of the lid, which would be removed before the cartridge is attached to the gun.
  • the one lid 42 of the paint pot 40 Through an appropriate selection of the dimensions of the lid 42 of the paint pot 40, it is possible for the one lid 42 to be used with containers 41 of different sizes. The user would then select, in each case, the container 41 that contains the most suitable amount of paint. It may also be desirable for a range of filters 45 having different mesh sizes to be provided so that the user can select the mesh size that is best suited to the type of paint that is being used. It is not essential for the filter mesh 45 to have the form and/or location shown in Fig. 2 : it could, for example, have a conical form as shown in Fig. 3 and/or could be located in the outlet of the lid 42, as shown in Fig. 4 .
  • the lid 42 need not have the exact shape shown in Fig. 2 and could, for example, be replaced by a push-in lid in combination with a screw-on collar.
  • the container 41 When the container 41 (with or without the lid 42) is supplied as a cartridge containing paint (or other coating material) it may be desirable in some cases for the paint/coating material to be contained within a sealed collapsible liner within the cartridge. That may, for example, be desirable if it is necessary for the paint/coating material to be kept isolated, for example from the air or from light, until it has been sprayed onto the surface to be coated.
  • the air hole 44 in the container 41 can then remain open all the time, or may be omitted if the container 41 itself is not airtight.
  • One suitable holder 50 shown in Fig. 5 , comprises container portion 51 which is of similar shape to, but slightly larger than, the container 41 and is provided with an enlarged base 52. The container 41 is placed in the container portion 51 to ensure that it remains upright while it is being filled and/or attached to the spray gun 1.
  • the container may be formed from any suitable thermoplastic material capable of forming a thin film which is impervious to the materials it is intended to contain. In some cases, it may be desirable to use a material which is in the form of a laminate. For certain applications, such as food packaging, plastics with a low gas-permeability may be preferred. For most applications, however, polyolefins such as polyethylene or polypropylene are preferred since these a relatively cheap, are readily thermo-formable, and are inert to most aqueous and organic fluids.
