Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of lids for boxes of paints and other containers.
  • the invention relates more particularly a closure device with fastening means improved to lock the lid on the paint box.
  • lids for boxes of paint to cover the upper open part of the box.
  • Such covers include a spout and an associated shutter system for selectively open and close the spout. When the beak is open, the painting can be poured from the box.
  • lids already known are arranged to be used with automatic paint agitation equipment. They include for this a stirring assembly rotatably mounted on the lid with a agitator positioned inside the paint box. Such sets stirring are typically used in automotive paint shops.
  • the known fastening means consist of fixing lugs provided with load springs which pivot between a closed position and a position not closed. In their closed position, the fixing lugs are folded to come into contact with the body of the paint box, so that portions of the box are sandwiched between the lid and the brackets.
  • a closure device intended for the closure of boxes of the box type of paint or the like having a substantially cylindrical tubular side wall, an upper opening and an outwardly projecting edge disposed around the top opening, said edge having an annular surface facing downwards said lower surface of the edge
  • the closure device comprising a cover sized to cover the top opening of the box and provided with a spout, characterized in that it comprises fixing means for fixing the lid at the box, the fixing means comprising at least two locking fingers separate elastics spaced and arranged to engage with each other automatically with the bottom surface of the protruding edge when the lid is positioned on said opening of the box.
  • the fastening means comprise at least three separate resilient locking fingers spaced the each other on the circumference of the lid equidistantly.
  • the device according to the invention comprises a annular border secured to the lid and extending downwardly from said cover, said edge covering at least a portion of the side wall of the box when the lid is positioned on the top of the box.
  • the locking fingers are constructed of a single piece with said annular edge secured to the lid.
  • each locking pin has a substantially flat abutment surface intended to engage with the lower surface of the protruding edge when the lid is positioned on said opening the box.
  • the invention thus offers an interlocking lock, that is, the lid can not be extracted naturally by deformation but only by acting on the clips formed by the fingers to unlock them so as to disengage the lid of the container.
  • each locking pin has a sloping surface provided to bear on an upper surface of the protruding edge of the box when the lid is positioned on the top of the box, the declivity surfaces spreading the locking fingers outwards when inserting the lid on the top of the box.
  • each locking pin has a protruding release lever in an upward direction above an upper surface of the lid.
  • said locking finger and said lever of clearance are constructed in one piece.
  • the lid comprises a handle and a central opening provided for a rotation shaft of a mixing assembly.
  • the fixing means comprise four equidistant fingers each forming a Y whose one branch is shortened so as to abut by at least one abutment surface at a time on said tubular side wall of the box and on the lower surface of the projecting edge.
  • a branch of Y exceeds a surface top of the cover and constitutes a release lever which by a centrifugal radial thrust disengages the abutment surface from the surface bottom of the salient edge.
  • At least two locking fingers are assembled in pairs, a first part of the locking fingers having at one first level of height an abutment surface intended to engage with the lower surface of the protruding edge of a first type of box, a second part of the locking fingers having at a second level of height different from said first level of height an abutment surface provided for to engage with the lower surface of the salient edge of a second type of box different from said first type.
  • the device according to the invention comprises a shutter of the spout, a pusher means being connected to the tongue via means of translational drive to move said tongue between a plug closing position and a retracted position discovering at least part of the beak.
  • the device comprises a flexible seal annular frustoconical integral with the cover arranged to ensure sealing of the closure, the seal comprising a free portion having a surface extending laterally and upwards to form a zone of adjustable sealing contact allowing adaptation to the profile of the box.
  • each of the release levers is adapted to cause the associated locking pin in a release position, the locking fingers comprising lateral retaining elements arranged for resting on at least one abutment surface formed on a support side of the lid when the locking fingers are driven to said release position.
  • a preferred embodiment of the closure device (10) for a box paint or the like is suitable for tubular boxes.
  • the paint box (12) has a tubular side wall Substantially cylindrical (14, FIG. 3) defining an internal chamber, in which is contained the painting.
  • the box of paint (12) also has an upper opening (18) formed around a inner periphery of the groove portion of the box (12) called lip sealing (20).
  • This sealing lip (20) serves as a support on which the cover (26) is to be attached, is conventionally attached to the cylindrical tubular wall (14) with a folded edge (22).
  • This edge (22) comprises in addition, an annular surface oriented downwards, said lower surface (24), which extends adjacent to the upper opening (18) around the entire outer periphery of the side wall (14) of the paint box (12).
  • the closure device comprises a cover (26) generally circular having on its outer periphery a outer annular rim (28) extending downwardly from said lid.
  • the lid (26) integral with its annular border (28) is sized to be plated on the upper opening (18) and covering the latter so that that the annular border (28) covers both the projecting edge (22) and the part upper side wall (14) of the paint box (12).
  • the lid (26) and the annular border are monobloc and made of a plastic material.
  • annular border (28) does not extend not necessarily on the entire periphery of the lid (26), but example can include distinct segments distributed around the lid (26). In an alternative embodiment, the border can also be eliminated.
  • a seal made of elastic material (30) is attached to the lid (26). This seal (30) is supported on a surface upper portion (32) of the projecting edge (22) when the closure device (10) is positioned on the top of the paint box (12) in its position operational.
  • the lid (26) for paint cans or the like has a pouring spout (34) allowing to pour the contents of the box (12).
  • a handle (36) or other adapted gripping means is mounted on the cover (26). This handle (36) is for example diametrically opposed to the spout (34) and can be built monoblock with the lid (26).
  • a movable shutter tab (40) or similar closure is provided on the lid (26).
  • This tongue (40) can be moved between a plug closing position (34), illustrated in FIG. Figure 1, and a recessed position, shown in dashed lines in Figure 2, for discharging the contents of the box (12) by at least a portion of the beak (34).
  • a control lever or other pusher (trigger, etc.) can to be connected to the tongue (40) via translational drive means for moving said tab between its closed and retracted positions.
  • the closure device (10) has a mixer assembly with an agitator (46) mounted therein of the paint box (12).
  • the agitator is rotatably mounted on the lid (26) by a shaft (48), while a drive member (50) is connected to the shaft (48) above the lid (26).
  • a central opening is provided in the cover (26) for the passage of the rotation shaft (48) of the assembly mixer.
  • the drive element (50) illustrated in FIG. 1 is of the type used with automatic paint agitation equipment.
  • a crank handle can also be used with the lid (26) to allow manual agitation of the contents of the paint box (12).
  • the closure device (10) comprises at minus two, and for example at least three or four locking fingers (52) elastic. These locking fingers (52) can be formed integrally with the annular border (28). As shown in Figure 2, the locking fingers (52) are distinct and spaced from each other on the circumference of the cover (26) equidistantly.
  • each of the locking fingers (52) has a sloping surface (54) intended to bear against a upper surface of the projecting edge (22) of the box when the lid (26) is positioned on the top of the box (12). Therefore, as shown in FIG. 4, when the cover (26) is positioned on the top of the box (12), the coaction between the sloping surface (54) and the folded edge (22) causes an inflection spacing of the locking fingers (52) outwards when the lid (26) is pressed on the top of the box (12).
  • Each locking pin (52) further comprises an abutment surface Substantially flat (56) facing upwardly of the cover (26), arranged immediately above the sloping surface (54).
  • This surface of stop (56) can be positioned to engage just below the lower surface (24) of the projecting edge (22) when the cover (26) is completely in the effective locking position on the box (12).
  • the elastic deformation of the locking fingers (52) induces a support from these locking fingers (52) inwardly as said stop surface (56) is placed on the underside of the lower surface (24) in automatically coming to rest on this surface (24), and thus ensuring this way the locking of the closure device (10) on the box (12).
  • the seal (30) of the lid (26) is compressed against the upper surface (32) of the folded edge (22), thus ensuring the seal between the cover (26) and the box (12).
  • the reaction (A) of the flexible seal (30) and the reaction (B) of the blocking finger can be compensated by the reaction (R) combination of the lower surface (24) of the folded edge (22) and the wall side (14) of the box (12).
  • the means of fastening the cover (26) comprise four equidistant fingers (52) forming each a Y whose one branch is shortened so as to come in support by at least one abutment surface at a time on said tubular side wall (14) of the box (12) and on the lower surface (24) of the projecting edge (22).
  • the other branch of Y exceeds a upper surface (60) of the cover (26) and constitutes a release lever (58) which by centrifugal radial thrust (D, FIG. 8) disengages the surface stop (56) of the lower surface (24) of the projecting edge (22).
  • the release lever (58) is protruding in an upward direction over an upper surface (60) of the lid (26), so as to allow easy unlocking for the user the closure device (10) of the box (12). So when to remove the closing device (10) of the box (12), it is sufficient to manually exercise a external radial pressure on these levers (58), as shown in FIG. 6, whereby the abutment surfaces (56) are disengaged from their position locking.
  • Figure 7 illustrates the ease with which the lid (26) can to be removed.
  • the locking fingers (52) are constructed in one piece with the release levers (58) and than with the annular border (28).
  • the locking fingers (52) can be integrally formed with the annular border (28), it must be understanding that the annular border remains an option that can be withdrawn. In the latter case, the locking fingers (52) are fixed directly at the lid (26) and project in a downward direction from the cover (26).
  • the fingers blocking means (52) can be arranged in pairs. Release levers (58) of a pair are then placed next to each other, as shown in FIG. figure 10.
  • the use of a pair of fingers blocking means (52) may allow adaptation of the closure (10) to different types of folded edge (22).
  • the spacing (H1, H2) between the abutment surface (56) and the upper surface (60) of the cover (26) may be different for the locking fingers (52) of the same pair, as shown in Figure 10.
  • the sealing lip (20) is arranged to receive the seal (30) of the lid (26) at a level lower than that of the upper surface (32) of the edge (22)
  • the locking fingers (52) extend sufficiently downwards so that the finger of block (52) of smaller spacing (H1) with respect to the surface (60) of the cover plays its role of clips.
  • the seal (30) of the lid (26) is disposed above the level of the upper surface (32) of the edge (22), only the locking finger (52) more large gap (H2) comes to rest on the underside of the folded edge (22).
  • the closure device (10) can comprise on the one hand, locking fingers (52) having at a first level of height an abutment surface (56) intended to engage with the lower surface (24) of the projecting edge (22) of a first type of box, and on the other hand locking fingers (52) having at a second level of height different from said first level of height an abutment surface (56) provided to engage the lower surface (24) of the projecting edge (22) of a second type of box different from said first type.
  • the closing device (10) may include, as a non-limiting example two, three or four pairs locking fingers (52) for excellent adaptation to the type of box to lock.
  • the closure device (10) is example with a frustoconical flexible annular seal (3) allowing a adaptation to the profile of the box.
  • This deformable seal (3) comprises a first fixed portion (301) secured to the cover (26) and a free second portion (302) extending the first part (301) and able to deform by pressing on the sealing lip (20), as illustrated in FIG. (302) has a surface extending laterally and upwardly to form an adjustable sealing contact area with the lip (20) of the box.
  • the fixed part (301) on the other hand is set back inwards with respect to the contact area of the seal (3).
  • a rib annular (300) is provided on the second portion (302) of the frustoconical seal (3).
  • This rib (300) is disposed substantially at the free end of the seal (3).
  • the closing device (10) provided with such a seal (3) can be thus put in place on different box profiles.
  • this frustoconical annular seal (3) is compressed on the lip (20), the locking fingers (52) come to bear under the projecting edge (22).
  • the locking fingers (52) comprise lateral retaining elements (55) arranged to rest on at least one abutment surface (160) formed on a lateral support (16) of the cover (26) when the locking fingers (52) are tilted from a position closed to a release position.
  • a release lever (58) away from a locking finger (52) a immobilization of this finger (52) in the open position is obtained by pressing retaining side members (55) on said abutment surface (160).
  • This type of restraint in the position of release of the locking fingers allows to successively separate each of the locking fingers (52) while avoiding their return to a closed position when the user wants to extract the lid (26).
  • the closure device (10) can be adapted to other varieties of containers, such as pots for water based that do not require agitation.
  • the principle of closing not clipping using the locking fingers (52) offers great speed opening and closing of containers.
  • This link principle offers the advantage of being able to fit on existing boxes with variable dimensions with a crimping bead.
  • the means fastening means (10) ensure complete safety in the maintaining the lid (26) metering agitator on the paint box (12).
