Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Werkzeug zum Auftragen einer Substanz auf einen Gegenstand.The invention relates to a tool for applying a substance to an object.
Zum Auftragen von Substanzen, insbesondere von flüssigen oder zähflüssigen Substanzen, wie beispielsweise Farben, Lacke, Öle, Firniss oder dergleichen auf Gegenstände, werden üblicherweise Pinsel als Werkzeug zum Auftragen eingesetzt, die Borsten- oder Haarbüschel aufweisen. Anstelle der Borsten- oder Haarbüschel können auch schwammartige Auftragteile vorgesehen sein, die in der Lage sind, die aufzutragende Substanz aufzunehmen, zu halten und beim Auftragen wieder abzugeben.For applying substances, in particular liquid or viscous substances, such as, for example, paints, varnishes, oils, varnishes or the like to objects, brushes are usually used as tools for application, which have bristle or hair tufts. Instead of the bristle or hair tufts and spongy application parts can be provided, which are able to absorb the substance to be applied, to hold and deliver again when applied.
Nach dem Gebrauch derartiger Pinsel müssen die Borsten- oder Haarbüschel oder die Schwämme ausgewaschen werden, um zu verhindern, dass die aufzutragende Substanz eintrocknet und damit den Pinsel unbrauchbar macht.After using such brushes, the bristle or hair tufts or sponges must be washed out to prevent the substance to be applied from drying and thus rendering the brush unusable.
Soll die Arbeit nur kurzfristig unterbrochen werden, so ist ein Auswaschen der Auftragteile nicht nur zeitraubend und lästig, sondern führt auch zu einem unnötigen Verlust an aufzutragender Substanz.If the work is interrupted only for a short time, washing out the parts of the order is not only time-consuming and annoying, but also leads to an unnecessary loss of substance to be applied.
Darüber hinaus besteht bei Arbeitspausen, die nur so kurz sind, dass ein Eintrocknen der aufzutragenden Substanz nicht zu befürchten ist, immer noch die Gefahr, dass der bei Seite gelegte oder gestellte Pinsel durch Staub oder dergleichen verschmutzt wird.In addition, there is still the risk that the brush brushed aside or stained by dust or the like is at work breaks, which are so short that a drying of the substance to be applied is not to be feared.
Bei hochwertigen, empfindlichen Pinseln, wie sie beispielsweise für Kalligraphie oder Aquarellmalerei eingesetzt werden, ist es bereits bekannt, über das Haarbüschel eine Kappe, vorzugsweise eine konische Kappe von vorne, also vom freien Ende des Haarbüschels her über dieses aufzuschieben und am Pinselgriff durch Klemmen zu fixieren. Ein derartiges Aufschieben einer Schutzkappe ist jedoch umständlich und schwierig, da darauf zu achten ist, dass das Haarbüschel des Pinsels nicht dadurch beschädigt wird, dass die im Außenbereich des Haarbüschels liegenden Haare nach hinten mitgenommen, umgeknickt oder abgerissen werden.For high-quality, sensitive brushes, such as those used for calligraphy or watercolor painting, it is already known on the hair tufts a cap, preferably a conical cap from the front, so postponed from the free end of the hair tufts over this and the brush handle by clamping fix. However, such a pushing on a protective cap is cumbersome and difficult, since it is important to ensure that the hair tufts of the brush is not damaged by the fact that lying in the outer region of the hair tufts are taken backwards, folded or demolished.

Davon ausgehend liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein einfach zu handhabendes Werkszeug zum Auftragen einer Substanz auf einen Gegenstand bereitzustellen, dessen Auftragteil während Arbeitspausen nicht spontan austrocknen kann und vor Verunreinigungen sowie mechanischen Beschädigungen geschützt ist.On this basis, the invention has for its object to provide an easy-to-use tool for applying a substance to an object whose order part can not dry out spontaneously during breaks and is protected from contamination and mechanical damage.
Diese Aufgabe wird durch das Werkzeug gemäß Patentanspruch 1 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen und Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen beschrieben.This object is achieved by the tool according to claim 1. Advantageous developments and refinements of the invention are described in the subclaims.
Erfmdungsgemäß ist also an einem rohrförmigen Halter, an dessen einem Ende ein Auftragteil vorgesehen ist, eine Schutzhülse verschiebbar gelagert, die über das Auftragteil geschoben werden kann, um dieses zu schützen. Dabei sind zur Vereinfachung der Handhabung am anderen Ende des rohrförmigen Halters Befestigungsmittel zum Anschließen einer Substanzzuführeinheit, insbesondere einer Ausgabeeinheit eines Spenders oder Behälters vorgesehen. Damit wird erreicht, dass die aufzutragende Substanz dem Auftragteil von hinten zugeführt werden kann, so dass das Werkzeug und der Vorratsbehälter für die aufzutragende Substanz auf einfache Weise gemeinsam gehandhabt werden können.According to the invention, therefore, a protective sleeve is slidably mounted on a tubular holder, at one end of which an application part is provided, which can be pushed over the application part in order to protect it. Here, for ease of handling at the other end of the tubular holder fastening means for connecting a substance supply, in particular an output unit of a dispenser or container are provided. This ensures that the substance to be applied to the application part can be supplied from behind, so that the tool and the reservoir for the substance to be applied can be handled easily in a simple manner.
Anders als bei der bekannten Schutzkappe, die von vorne über ein als Haarbüschel ausgebildetes Auftragteil aufgeschoben werden muss, wird erfindungsgemäß die Schutzhülle von hinten, also vom am Halter angebrachten Ende des Auftragteils her über dieses geschoben, so dass das Auftragteil umfangsmäßig vollständig von der Schutzhülse abgedeckt ist, ohne dass Beschädigungen zu befürchten sind.Unlike the known protective cap, which must be pushed from the front over a designed as tufts application part, according to the invention, the protective cover from behind, so attached to the holder end of the order part pushed over this, so that the order part circumferentially completely covered by the protective sleeve is, without damage to be feared.
Hierdurch wird erreicht, dass der Bereich, über den in einer aufzutragenden Substanz befindliche Feuchtigkeit oder Lösungsmittel oder dergleichen an die Umgebung abgegeben werden kann, wesentlich reduziert wird, so dass die aufzutragende Substanz während zeitweiliger Arbeitsunterbrechung praktisch nicht austrocknen kann. Darüber hinaus bewirkt die Art und Weise, wie die erfindungsgemäße Schutzhülle von hinten nach vom über das Auftragteil geschoben wird, dass Beschädigungen des Auftragteils durch die Schutzhülle praktisch vollständig ausgeschlossen sind, da ein Umknicken oder Abreißen von Borsten oder Haaren im Auftragteil ausgeschlossen wird.This ensures that the area over which moisture or solvent or the like present in a substance to be applied can be released to the environment is substantially reduced, so that the substance to be applied can practically not dry out during temporary interruption of work. In addition, the manner in which the protective cover according to the invention is pushed from behind over the application part virtually eliminates any damage to the application part by the protective cover, since buckling or tearing of bristles or hair in the application part is precluded.
Bei einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass die Schutzhülse einen Querschnitt aufweist, der dem Querschnitt des Auftragteils entspricht, wobei die Schutzhülse das Auftragteil eng umschließt. Hierdurch wird das das Auftragteil umgebende Volumen innerhalb der Schutzhülse so klein wie möglich gehalten, so dass ein Eintrocknen der im Auftragteil befindlichen Substanz weiter verlangsamt und damit zumindest kurzfristig verhindert wird.In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, it is provided that the protective sleeve has a cross section which corresponds to the cross section of the application part, wherein the protective sleeve closely surrounds the application part. As a result, the volume surrounding the application part is kept as small as possible within the protective sleeve, so that further drying of the substance located in the application part is slowed down and thus prevented, at least in the short term.
Um die Schutzhülse gegen unbeabsichtigtes Verschieben zu sichern, ist zweckmäßiger Weise vorgesehen, dass die Schutzhülse zumindest in ihrer über das Auftragteil geschobenen Stellung, vorzugsweise aber auch in ihrer das Auftragteil freigebenden Stellung gegen ein Verschieben festlegbar ist. Hierdurch wird einerseits sichergestellt, dass die Schutzfunktion nicht durch versehentliches Zurückschieben der Schutzhülse beeinträchtigt wird. Andererseits wird auch erreicht, dass die Schutzhülse bei der Handhabung des Werkzeugs dessen Gebrauch nicht beeinträchtigt.In order to secure the protective sleeve against unintentional displacement, it is expediently provided that the protective sleeve can be secured against displacement at least in its position pushed over the application part, but preferably also in its position releasing the applicator part. This ensures on the one hand that the protective function is not impaired by accidentally pushing back the protective sleeve. On the other hand, it is also achieved that the protective sleeve does not affect its use when handling the tool.
Bei einer besonders einfachen und kostengünstig herzustellenden Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass die Schutzhülse teleskopartig auf dem Halter gelagert ist, wobei der Halter und die Schutzhülse einen kreisförmigen Querschnitt aufweisen.In a particularly simple and inexpensive to manufacture embodiment of the invention it is provided that the protective sleeve is mounted telescopically on the holder, wherein the holder and the protective sleeve have a circular cross-section.
Eine zuverlässige und einfache Sicherung der Schutzhülse in ihren beiden Endstellungen wird dadurch erreicht, dass die Schutzhülse zumindest in ihrer über das Auftragteil geschobenen Stellung, vorzugsweise aber auch in ihrer das Auftragteil freigebenden Stellung so verdrehbar geführt ist, dass sie aus einer verschiebbaren Drehlage in eine nicht verschiebbare Drehlage verdrehbar ist.A reliable and simple securing of the protective sleeve in its two end positions is achieved in that the protective sleeve is at least in its pushed over the applicator part position, but preferably also in their position releasing the applicator part rotatably guided so that they do not move from a displaceable rotational position slidable rotational position is rotatable.
Um das Auftragteil insbesondere bei längeren Arbeitsunterbrechungen oder beim Transport zuverlässig gegen Beschädigungen und Verschmutzungen zu schützen, ist es zweckmäßiger Weise vorgesehen, dass auf die in ihrer über das Auftragteil geschobenen Stellung befindlichen Schutzhülse eine Kappe über deren freies Ende aufschiebbar ist, wobei die Kappe vorzugsweise festklemm- oder verrastbar ist. Da das Auftragteil bereits durch die Schutzhülse geschützt ist, kann die Kappe ohne Gefahr einer Beschädigung des Auftragteils aufgeschoben werden.In order to reliably protect the application part against damage and soiling, especially during longer work stoppages or during transport, it is expediently provided that a cap can be slid over the free end of the protective sleeve located in its position pushed over the application part, the cap preferably being firmly clamped - or can be locked. Since the application part is already protected by the protective sleeve, the cap can be pushed without risk of damage to the application part.
Obwohl es grundsätzlich möglich ist als Auftragteil Schwämme oder dergleichen einzusetzen, ist es bevorzugt, dass das Auftragteil (12) ein Draht-, Borsten- oder Haarbüschel ist.Although it is basically possible to use sponges or the like as the application part, it is preferable that the application part (12) is a wire, bristle or hair tufts.
