Definitions

  • the invention relates to a container which can be used as a closure for the inlet opening of one or more tubes according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the paint runs out of the pipe after stopping the pump so that the inside of the plastic component is filled with paint.
  • the paint runs out and therefore often contaminates the user and the environment, resulting in time-consuming cleaning.
  • the pump can be set via a lever in two different operating positions, namely, on the one hand in the operating position of the color conveying and the other in the mixing mode, so that the existing in the feed tube paint through the pump directly into a return pipe and from there is returned to the reservoir, whereby the pump and its feed tube are vented.
  • the idle property of the pump is well known and technically necessary to allow reliable operation of the sprayer.
  • the container or the bag is to enclose two tubes aligned substantially parallel to each other, it is almost impossible to seal them in such a way that color does not pass from the inside of the container, in particular in the transitional area between the two tubes, whereby there is a risk that the ink from the inside of the container during the downtime of the pump or while the pump is in circulation mode, emerges, and thus the environment is polluted.
  • From the WO 98/46522 is to remove a container through which a feed tube to be supplied with a medium to be delivered.
  • a container which can assume a changing position in a portable device, an open-pored, porous storage medium is provided, which is arranged in the region of the inlet opening of the feed tube.
  • the storage medium By the storage medium, the liquid present in the container is absorbed and kept in stock in the inlet region of the feed tube in stock.
  • a container which serves to receive liquid or air to produce foam by mixing liquid and air by means of a mixer.
  • the container wall is designed to be flexible in order to be able to compress these, so that the liquid or the air is pressed in the direction of the mixer by the pressure change in the interior of the container.
  • the two known by the prior art containers are not suitable as a closure body to be attached to the inlet opening of pipelines, are promoted by the paint or paints to a spray gun. Rather, the two containers described by the prior art serve exclusively to receive certain media suitable for the respective application and to provide them reliably for delivery. Namely, if the known containers are removed from the pipe ends, it is not reliably ensured that color or the stored medium escapes. For the media used there pollution of the environment is harmless, since these media can be easily absorbed and removed.
  • the closure body is formed in two parts and from a Pipe piece and a lid, which is attachable to the Abdichtkappe.
  • the lid is detachably connected to the pipe section, so that both building pieces of paint residue can be cleaned quickly and easily.
  • the assembly and disassembly of the closure body is carried out in a simple manner, because this is only about an integrally formed on this male thread to an internal thread of the Abdichtkappe screw or turn out.
  • the closure cap is firmly connected to the respective tube, for example via a welded connection, and can readily remain in the corresponding position during the operating state of the spray device, without the closure cap being contaminated by color stored in the reservoir, since the closure cap is above the Reservoir attached.
  • a viewing window is inserted into the closure body or if the closure body is made of a transparent material, such as a plastic material, because this allows the user from the outside of the state of the dripping out of the tubes color readily recognize and determine whether it is necessary to add solvent or cleaning liquid into the protection device via an inlet opening in order to prevent hardening of the paint present in the pipes, thereby also checking the level in the tank.
  • the reliable locking of the sealing cap takes place in that the position and the diameter of the tubes, the position and the inner diameter of the through holes, which are incorporated in the sealing cap, adapted, and thus the distance between the two parallel tubes reliably sealed to the outside is.
  • FIGS. 1 to 4 a container 11 can be removed, through which a feed tube 5 and a return pipe 6 is fixedly mounted during the downtime of a sprayer 1, wherein the two inlet openings of the tubes 5 and 6 are hermetically sealed to the outside by the container 11 to the drying out and thus to prevent the curing of the stored in the tubes 5, 6 color.
  • the spray unit 1 consists of a frame 2, by which a motor 3 and a pump 4 is supported. By the motor 3, the pump 4 is driven; the electrical energy for the motor 3 receives this via an electrical line 3 '.
  • the pump 4 By an attached to the pump 4 adjusting lever 7 two operating positions for the pump 4 can be adjusted manually. Namely, the pump 4 serves to suck paint, varnish or the like from a reservoir 10 and to press the ink into a supply line 9 to which a spray gun 8 is connected. By the spray gun 8, therefore, the color is applied to a surface, such as a house wall.
  • a sealing cap 12 is fixed to the two tubes 5 and 6 on the respective outer side, for example, secured by a circumferential weld 23.
  • the sealing cap 12 is funnel-shaped, so that the two tubes 5 and 6 protrude from the sealing cap 12.
  • the Abdichtkappe 12 two through holes 18 are incorporated. This can be especially the FIG. 2 be removed.
  • the position of the through holes 18 is adapted to the position of the two tubes 5 and 6.
  • the inner diameter of the respective through-holes 18 corresponds to the outer diameter of the respective tube 5 or 6. In particular, the distance between the two tubes 5 and 6 is thus closed by the sealing cap 12.
  • the closure body 13 is formed in two parts and consists of a pipe section 14 and a lid 15.
  • an external thread 17 is provided, that in the internal thread 16 of the sealing cap 12 can be screwed, so that the pipe section 14 releasably fixed to the sealing cap 12 is.
  • the lid 15 is screwed into an incorporated in the inner contour of the pipe section 14 internal thread 16.
  • an external thread 17th intended on the outer contour of the lid 15.
  • the distance a between the free end of the tube 5 and the bottom of the lid 15 should be between one and five zeniths and thus be sized as small as possible, so that exiting the tube 5 and 6 color during the downtime of the sprayer 1 in a small space is enclosed and this optionally completely filled, whereby the further leakage of paint from the two tubes 5 and 6 can be prevented.
  • a viewing window 22 is inserted into the outer wall of the pipe section 14.
  • a transparent material for example from a transparent plastic.
  • cleaning or dissolving liquid can be injected into the interior of the closure body 13 via an inlet opening 21 incorporated in the closure body 13. This is the FIG. 4 refer to.
  • the solvent liquid of the color in the tubes 5 and 6 is then mixed.
  • a stabilizing bar 20 is inserted in the interior of the sealing cap 12, which bar perpendicular to the two tubes 5 and 6 and which is spaced from the head of the sealing cap 12.
  • two through holes 18 are incorporated, which correspond in position and in size with the position and the outer diameter of the two tubes 5 and 6.
  • the container 11 preferably consists of three detachable components, namely the sealing cap 12 the pipe section 14 and the lid 15, it is ensured that both the assembly and the dismantling of the lid 11 can be carried out such that even with leaked paint No pollution of the environment or the user is avoided from the tubes 5 and 6, because this can the container 11 at least partially defined by the tube 5 and 6 decrease.
  • the container 11 is made of a material which is stably formed and reliably absorbs the color in its interior.
