Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft einen Farbroller mit einer im Wesentlichen zylindrischen Farbrolle, die eine zentrale Aufnahmehülse für einen Stiel und eine diese mantelseitig und auf der zur Stieleintrittsöffnung entgegengesetzten Stirnseite umgebende Farbaufnahmeschicht aufweist, und mit einem einen Handgriff aufweisenden Stiel zur drehbaren Lagerung der Farbrolle.The present invention relates to a paint roller with a substantially cylindrical paint roller having a central receiving sleeve for a stem and a shell side and on the opposite end of the stem inlet opening surrounding color receiving layer, and having a handle having a handle for rotatably supporting the paint roller.

Ein derartiger Farbroller ist aus der WO 2005/007302 A2 bekannt. Bei dem bekannten Farbroller ist die zur Stielentrittsöffnung entgegengesetzte Stirnseite der Farbaufnahmeschicht konisch bzw. konkav ausgebildet, so dass der Mittelpunkt der Stirnseite gegenüber dem Außenrand der Stirnseite in Axialrichtung des Stieles nach innen versetzt angeordnet ist. Auf diese Weise soll ein Federungseffekt der zur Stirnseite hin dünner werdenden Farbaufnahmeschicht erzielt werden, so dass in diesem Bereich im Gegensatz zum Stand der Technik, bei dem die Farbaufnahmeschicht bis zur Stirnseite gleich dick ausgebildet ist, kein Herausquetschen von angesammelter Farbe auftritt, das zu unerwünschten Farbspuren auf der anzustreichenden Fläche am Rand der Farbrolle führt. Dadurch, dass die Stirnseite der Farbrolle konkav ausgebildet ist, entsteht der erwähnte Federungseffekt des Randbereiches der Farbrolle bzw. wird in diesem Bereich nur ein geringerer Anpressdruck aufgebracht, der die vorstehend geschilderte nachteilige Spurenbildung verhindert.Such a paint roller is from the WO 2005/007302 A2 known. In the case of the known paint roller, the end face of the ink receiving layer opposite the handle opening is conical or concave, so that the center of the end face is offset inwards in the axial direction of the handle in relation to the outer edge of the end. In this way, a suspension effect of the end towards thinning ink receptive layer is to be achieved, so that in this area, in contrast to the prior art, in which the ink receptive layer is formed to the front side of the same thickness, no squeezing of accumulated color occurs, which is undesirable Color traces on the area to be painted on the edge of the paint roller leads. The fact that the end face of the paint roller is concave, the mentioned suspension effect of the edge region of the paint roller is formed or is applied in this area only a lower contact pressure, which prevents the above-described adverse trace.

Mit dem bekannten Farbroller lässt sich daher ein saubereres Arbeiten verwirklichen, insbesondere ein im Wesentlichen ansatzfreies Anstreichen realisieren. Nachteilig ist jedoch bei dieser Ausführungsform eines Farbrollers, dass aufgrund der konkaven bzw. konischen Ausbildung der Stirnseite kein Arbeiten mit der Stirnseite mehr möglich ist.With the known paint roller, therefore, a cleaner working can be realized, in particular realize a substantially free of painting strokes. However, a disadvantage of this embodiment of a paint roller, that due to the concave or conical design of the front side working with the front side is no longer possible.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Farbroller der angegebenen Art zu schaffen, der ein besonders sauberes Arbeiten ermöglicht und trotzdem ein Arbeiten mit der Stirnseite der Farbrolle gestattet.The present invention has for its object to provide a paint roller of the specified type, which allows a particularly clean working and still allows working with the face of the paint roller.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß bei einem Farbroller der angegebenen Art dadurch gelöst, dass die Farbaufnahmeschicht auf ihrer zur Stieleintrittsöffnung entgegengesetzten Stirnseite einen ringförmigen Außenrand, einen zentralen Mittelabschnitt und eine dazwischen angeordnete ringförmige Vertiefung aufweist, wobei sich der ringförmige Außenrand und der kreisförmige Mittelabschnitt in Axialrichtung der Farbrolle gleich weit erstrecken.This object is achieved in a paint roller of the specified type in that the ink receiving layer has an annular outer edge, a central central portion and an annular recess arranged therebetween on its opposite end to the stem inlet opening, wherein the annular outer edge and the circular central portion in the axial direction of the paint roller extend the same distance.

Bei der erfindungsgemäßen Lösung sorgt die in der Stirnwand vorgesehene ringförmige Vertiefung dafür, dass sich ein relativ schmaler ringförmiger Außenrand ergibt, der relativ leicht radial einwärts verformt werden kann, so dass sich im Randabschnitt des Mantels der Farbaufnahmeschicht der bei der Handhabung des Farbrollers aufgebrachte Druck reduzieren lässt. Hierdurch werden Farbansammlungen in diesem Bereich sowie Effekte eines seitlichen Herausquetschens von Farbe vermieden, so dass auf der anzustreichenden Fläche im Randbereich des Farbrollers keine Spureneffekte wie beim Stand der Technik auftreten. Es lässt sich somit nahezu ansatzfrei lackieren.In the solution according to the invention provided in the end wall annular recess ensures that a relative narrow annular outer edge results, which can be relatively easily deformed radially inwardly, so that can be reduced in the edge portion of the shell of the ink receiving layer of the applied pressure when handling the paint roller. As a result, color accumulations in this area and effects of lateral squeezing out of color are avoided so that no trace effects on the surface to be painted occur in the edge area of the paint roller as in the prior art. It can thus be painted almost without rudimentary.

Des Weiteren ist bei der erfindungsgemäßen Lösung auf der Stirnseite ein zentraler vorzugsweise kreisförmiger Mittelabschnitt vorgesehen, der sich in Axialrichtung genau so weit erstreckt wie der ringförmige Randabschnitt. Mit Hilfe dieses zentralen Mittelabschnittes kann auch die Stirnseite zum Streichen benutzt werden. Da Randabschnitt und Mittelabschnitt gleich weit in Axialrichtung vorstehen und der Randabschnitt nicht gegenüber dem Mittelabschnitt zurückspringt, lassen sich beispielsweise Eckbereiche vollständig bearbeiten, da der Mittelabschnitt ein Anstreichen bis zur Ecke bzw. Kante mit dem Farbroller nicht verhindert. Andererseits springt der Mittelabschnitt nicht gegenüber dem Randabschnitt zurück, so dass das erwünschte Arbeiten mit der Stirnseite ermöglicht wird.Furthermore, in the solution according to the invention, a central, preferably circular, middle section is provided on the front side, which extends in the axial direction exactly as far as the annular edge section. With the help of this central middle section and the front page can be used to swipe. Since edge portion and middle portion protrude equally far in the axial direction and the edge portion does not jump back relative to the central portion, for example, corner areas can be completely processed, since the central portion does not prevent painting to the corner or edge with the paint roller. On the other hand, the central portion does not jump back relative to the edge portion, so that the desired work with the front side is made possible.

Bei einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist die mit der Stieleintrittsöffnung der Aufnahmehülse versehene Stirnseite der Farbaufnahmeschicht im Wesentlichen identisch mit der anderen Stirnseite ausgebildet. Auch hier ist daher ein ringförmiger Außenrand vorgesehen, der durch eine ringförmige Vertiefung gebildet wird. Da im mittleren Bereich der Stirnseite die Stieleintrittsöffnung der Aufnahmehülse vorgesehen ist, kann hierbei der zentrale kreisförmige Mittelabschnitt entfallen, oder es kann ein Mittelabschnitt angeordnet sein, der die Stielaufnahmehülse und deren Öffnung umgibt. Bei dieser Ausführungsform ist daher auch an der die Stieleintrittsöffnung aufweisenden Stirnseite der Farbaufnahmeschicht ein vorstehender ringförmiger Außenrand vorgesehen, der den vorstehend beschriebenen Effekt sicherstellt, d.h. das Herausquetschen von Farbe in diesem Bereich und damit die Spurenbildung auf der anzustreichenden Fläche verhindert.In a preferred embodiment of the invention, provided with the stem inlet opening of the receiving sleeve end face of the ink receiving layer is formed substantially identical to the other end face. Again, therefore, an annular outer edge is provided by a annular recess is formed. Since the stem inlet opening of the receiving sleeve is provided in the central region of the end face, in this case the central central central portion can be omitted, or it can be arranged a central portion which surrounds the stem receiving sleeve and the opening. In this embodiment, therefore, a projecting annular outer edge is provided at the end of the ink receiving layer having the stem inlet opening, which ensures the effect described above, ie the squeezing out of color in this area and thus prevents the formation of marks on the surface to be painted.

Bei einer anderen bevorzugten Lösung geht die mit der Stieleintrittsöffnung der Aufnahmehülse versehene Stirnseite der Farbaufnahmeschicht von der Stieleintrittsöffnung gekrümmt in die Mantelfläche der Farbaufnahmeschicht über. Durch eine derartige Krümmung wird erreicht, dass in diesem Randbereich der Farbrolle nur ein geringerer Druck als im Mittelbereich der Farbrolle auf eine anzustreichende Fläche aufgebracht werden kann, so dass auch hierdurch ein Effekt erzielt werden kann, der das Herausquetschen von Farbe bzw. eine Spurenbildung verhindert.In another preferred solution, provided with the stem inlet opening of the receiving sleeve end face of the ink receiving layer of the stem inlet opening is curved into the lateral surface of the ink receiving layer over. By such a curvature is achieved that in this edge region of the paint roller only a lower pressure than in the central region of the paint roller can be applied to a surface to be painted, so that also an effect can be achieved, which prevents the squeezing out of color or a trace ,

Die an der Stirnseite bzw. an den Stirnseiten der Farbaufnahmeschicht vorgesehene ringförmige vertiefung ist möglichst schmal ausgebildet, um ein Streichen mit der Stirnseite zu ermöglichen. Andererseits ist die Vertiefung breit genug, um den gewünschten Federungs- bzw. Durchbiegungseffekt des Außenrandes sicherzustellen. So ist die Vertiefung vorzugsweise mindestens genau so breit wie der gebildete ringförmige Außenrand.The provided on the front side or at the end faces of the ink receiving layer annular recess is formed as narrow as possible to allow a brushing with the front page. On the other hand, the recess is wide enough to ensure the desired deflection or bending effect of the outer edge. Such is the depression preferably at least as wide as the formed annular outer edge.

Die Farbaufnahmeschicht besteht vorzugsweise aus Schaumstoff. Natürlich sind auch andere dem Fachmann bekannte Materialien hierfür geeignet, wie beispielsweise Kunststoffmaterialien, Gummi, Pappe etc.The ink receiving layer is preferably made of foam. Of course, other materials known to those skilled in the art are suitable for this purpose, such as plastic materials, rubber, cardboard, etc.

Die zentrale Aufnahmehülse für den Stiel besteht beispielsweise aus einem hierfür geeigneten Kunststoff. Der Stiel besitzt einen in der Aufnahmehülse drehbar gelagerten Abschnitt und einen hiervon winklig verlaufenden Abschnitt, an dessen Ende ein geeigneter Handgriff .angeordnet ist. Der Stiel besteht vorzugsweise aus einem geeigneten Metall oder ebenfalls aus Kunststoff. Der Handgriff kann aus hierfür geeigneten Materialien bestehen.The central receiving sleeve for the stem consists for example of a plastic suitable for this purpose. The handle has a portion rotatably mounted in the receiving sleeve and an angularly extending portion thereof, at the end of a suitable handle is .angeordnet. The stem is preferably made of a suitable metal or plastic. The handle may consist of suitable materials.

Zur Handhabung des erfindungsgemäß ausgebildeten Farbrollers wird dieser am Handgriff ergriffen und mit der Farbrolle in Farbe eingetaucht. Nach einem geeigneten Abstreichvorgang von überflüssiger Farbe ist der Farbroller einsatzbereit und kann durch Abrollen auf einer geeigneten Fläche zum Streichen, Lackieren etc. benutzt werden. Hierbei wird mit der Farbrolle ein entsprechender Druck auf die zu streichende Fläche aufgebracht, wobei aufgrund des an der Stirnseite bzw. an den Stirnseiten vorstehenden ringförmigen Außenrandes in diesem Bereich im Vergleich zum übrigen Teil der Farbrolle nur ein verringerter Druck aufgebracht werden kann bzw, sich der ringförmige Randabschnitt elastisch radial nach innen durchbiegt, so dass in diesen Bereichen keine verstärkte Farbaufbringung auf die zu streichende Fläche bzw. kein Herausquetschen von Farbe stattfindet, so dass keine Randspuren auftreten und ein ansatzloses Lackieren möglich ist. Ein ähnlicher Effekt wird durch die gekrümmte Stirnseite erreicht.To handle the ink roller designed according to the invention this is taken on the handle and immersed with the paint roller in color. After a suitable paint removal process of superfluous color of the paint roller is ready for use and can be used by rolling on a suitable surface for painting, painting, etc. In this case, a corresponding pressure is applied to the surface to be painted with the paint roller, due to the front side or on the front side protruding annular outer edge in this area compared to the rest of the paint roller only a reduced pressure can be applied or, the annular edge portion elastically deflects radially inwardly, so that in these areas no increased ink application to the striking surface or no squeezing out of color takes place, so that no edge marks occur and an ansatzloses painting is possible. A similar effect is achieved by the curved end face.

Der in Figur 1 in räumlicher Ansicht dargestellte Farbroller 1 weist einen Stiel 3 mit Handgriff 4 sowie eine am Stiel drehbar gelagerte Farbrolle 2 auf. Die Farbrolle 2 ist drehbar an einem entsprechenden Abschnitt des Stieles gelagert, jedoch in Axialrichtung an diesem lösbar fixiert. Im Inneren weist die Farbrolle 2 eine geeignete Aufnahmehülse 10 für den Stiel 3 auf, die in Figur 2 dargestellt ist. In dieser Aufnahmehülse 10 ist der Stiel 3 drehbar, jedoch in Axialrichtung unverschiebbar gelagert. Die Aufnahmehülse 10 ist sowohl mantelseitig als auch auf der in Figur 2 rechts gezeigten Stirnseite der Aufnahmehülse von einer Farbaufnahmeschicht 9 aus geeignetem Schaumstoffmaterial umgeben. Diese Aufnahmeschicht 9 besitzt eine in den Figuren 1 und 2 rechts gezeigte Stirnseite 5, die einen ringförmigen Außenrand 6, einen zentralen kreisförmigen Mittelabschnitt 8 und eine dazwischen angeordnete ringförmige Vertiefung 7 aufweist. Der ringförmige Außenrand 6 und der kreisförmige Mittelabschnitt 8 erstrecken sich in Axialrichtung der Farbrolle 2 gleich weit, d.h. der Mittelabschnitt 8 steht nicht über den Außenrand 6 in Figur 2 nach rechts vor.The in FIG. 1 in a spatial view illustrated paint roller 1 has a handle 3 with handle 4 and a rotatably mounted on the handle paint roller 2. The paint roller 2 is rotatably mounted on a corresponding portion of the stem, but fixed releasably in the axial direction thereto. Inside, the paint roller 2 has a suitable receiving sleeve 10 for the stem 3, which in FIG. 2 is shown. In this receiving sleeve 10, the stem 3 is rotatable, but mounted immovably in the axial direction. The receiving sleeve 10 is both shell side and on the in FIG. 2 Right side of the receiving sleeve shown surrounded by a color receiving layer 9 of suitable foam material. This recording layer 9 has a in the Figures 1 and 2 right side 5 shown, which has an annular outer edge 6, a central circular central portion 8 and an annular recess 7 arranged therebetween. The annular outer edge 6 and the circular central portion 8 extend in the axial direction of the paint roller 2 the same distance, ie, the central portion 8 is not on the outer edge 6 in FIG. 2 to the right.

Die in Figur 2 linke Stirnseite 11 der Farbaufnahmeschicht 9, d.h. die Stirnseite, die mit der Stieleintrittsöffnung 13 der Aufnahmehülse 10 versehen ist, ist im Wesentlichen identisch ausgebildet wie die vorstehend beschriebene Stirnseite 5. Auch diese Stirnseite weist einen ringförmigen Außenrand 6 und eine sich radial nach innen hieran anschließende ringförmige Vertiefung 7 auf. Ein zentraler Mittelabschnitt 8 ist ebenfalls vorgesehen, wobei dieser Mittelabschnitt die Stieleintrittsöffnung 13 der Stielaufnahmehülse 10 enthält.In the FIG. 2 left end face 11 of the ink receiving layer 9, ie the end face, which is provided with the stem inlet opening 13 of the receiving sleeve 10 is substantially identical to the above-described end face 5. Also, this end face has an annular outer edge 6 and a radially inwardly adjoining thereto annular recess 7 on. A central middle section 8 is also provided, this central section containing the stem inlet opening 13 of the stem receiving sleeve 10.

Figur 3 zeigt im Längsschnitt eine etwas anders ausgebildete Ausführungsform eines Farbrollers 1. Bei dieser Ausführungsform ist die in Figur 3 rechts dargestellte Stirnseite 5 der Farbaufnahmeschicht 9 identisch mit der entsprechenden Stirnseite der Ausführungsform der Figur 2 ausgebildet. Die in Figur 3 linke Stirnseite 11, die die Stieleintrittsöffnung 13 der Aufnahmehülse 10 aufweist, ist hierbei anders gestaltet. Diese Stirnseite 11 geht gekrümmt in die Mantelfläche der Farbaufnahmeschicht 9 über, wie bei 12 gezeigt. FIG. 3 shows in longitudinal section a slightly differently designed embodiment of a paint roller 1. In this embodiment, the in FIG. 3 shown on the right side 5 of the ink receiving layer 9 identical to the corresponding end face of the embodiment of FIG. 2 educated. In the FIG. 3 left end face 11, which has the stem inlet opening 13 of the receiving sleeve 10, is designed differently here. This end face 11 is curved in the lateral surface of the ink receiving layer 9, as shown at 12.

Wenn mit dem Farbroller im Eck- bzw. Kantenbereich gearbeitet wird, in dem zwei wände mit einem Winkel von 90° aneinanderstoßen, können beide Wände bis zur Kante lackiert werden, da der Außenrand 6 gleich weit vorsteht wie der zentrale Mittelabschnitt 8. Darüber hinaus kann jedoch auch mit der Stirnseite 5 der Farbrolle gearbeitet werden, da hierbei der zentrale Mittelabschnitt 5 eine entsprechend große Anlagefläche bietet.When working with the paint roller in the corner or edge area in which two walls abut each other with an angle of 90 °, both walls can be painted to the edge, since the outer edge 6 protrudes equidistant as the central middle section 8. In addition However, also be worked with the front side 5 of the paint roller, since in this case the central middle section 5 provides a correspondingly large contact surface.
