Definitions

  • the present invention concerns an attachment member for mounting on a container, e.g. a paint can or bucket, where the container at an upper end has an opening and is adapted with means for interacting with a lid, where the attachment member is adapted with mounting means corresponding to the upper end of the container.
  • a container e.g. a paint can or bucket
  • the attachment member is adapted with mounting means corresponding to the upper end of the container.
  • an attachment member for mounting on a container e.g. a paint can or bucket of the kind mentioned in the introduction, which is peculiar in that the attachment member includes an inwardly directed, inner scraping edge with a least one surface connected with the mounting means of the attachment member, the surface extending across the opening of the container and preferably in contact with the edge of the opening.
  • the container on which attachment member is applied may e.g. be a paint bucket of plastic or a paint tin can, or of another metal, but is not limited thereto.
  • the container is equipped with a removable lid.
  • the lid may have a shape typically found on plastic paint buckets where the lid encircles the upper end of the container.
  • the lid may also be designed as typically on metal cans where the upper end of the container encircles the lid.
  • the container will typically contain fluid material like paint.
  • the mounting means of the attachment member may also be designed to encircle or be encircled by the upper end of containers.
  • the attachment member may be designed such that it may be applied when the container has no lid on, when the container has a lid on, or both.
  • the attachment member includes an inner and inwardly facing scraping edge. This scraping edge is connected with the mounting means via a surface.
  • the surface is preferably in contact with the edge of the opening. When painting, excess paint on the paint brush may be scraped off the scraping edge. Hereby is avoided that paint is deposited at the edge of the opening since it is covered by the surface. In that the surface is in contact with the edge of the opening it is furthermore ensured that the edge of the opening is kept free from paint if the container is tilted.
  • the attachment member is peculiar in that the attachment member includes a projection which at least is directly or indirectly connected with the surface and the mounting means.
  • the projection will preferably be formed like a pouring spout.
  • future references to the projection and the pouring spout refer to the same technical feature and not two separate elements.
  • the attachment member is peculiar in that the attachment member includes a recess between the projection and the mounting means, the recess at least being connected with the surface.
  • the attachment member is peculiar in that the attachment member is designed with circular shape, semi-circular shape, rectangular shape, I-shape or L-shape.
  • attachment member can be used on largely all kinds of containers.
  • a semi-circular attachment member may be preferred.
  • Some types of paint containers have a single straight side of the opening, and here an I-shaped attachment member may be preferred.
  • an L-shaped attachment member can be used over one of the corners of the container.
  • the attachment member is circular as a relatively large number of paint containers have a circular opening.
  • the attachment member is peculiar in that the attachment member includes a removable lid enclosing the mounting means partially or entirely.
  • the container can be closed without removing the attachment member.
  • Containers of a soft metal material as e.g. tinplate cannot stand up to being opened and closed a large number of times since the lid will tend to be deformed under the action endured during opening and closing.
  • the attachment member includes a lid, the container may temporarily be closed, and the paint therefore does not dry up by short interruptions in use.
  • the attachment member is peculiar in that the lid has a top area which is less than the bottom area of a container.
  • the containers can be stacked.
  • the bottom is designed such that it has an edge that corresponds to the edge of the opening of the container. This entails that the edges abut on each others when the containers are stacked.
  • the top area is designed such that it corresponds to the inner side of the edge at the bottom of a container.
  • the attachment member in one embodiment may be used simultaneously with the existing lid of the container, the attachment member may be applied to the container already in production. Combined with the said top area, this will mean that the containers are more easily stacked in a stable manner than without the attachment member.
  • the attachment member is peculiar in that the attachment member includes an external, outwardly facing detaching lug provided in connection with the mounting means.
  • the attachment member may easily be removed from the container. After use, paint remains may easily sit on the attachment member, and a detaching lug for taking the attachment member off the container provides that removal may occur without the user getting paint on his hands as the lug is facing outwards.
  • the attachment member is peculiar in that the attachment member includes at least one groove provided preferably at the centre of the projection, where the groove extends substantially in direction towards the surface.
  • a groove disposed in this way on the pouring spout causes the paint to be easier to pour while at the same time the risk of dripping is reduced as the said groove will act as guide for the paint during pouring.
  • the attachment member is peculiar in that the surface is angled preferably between 30° and 60° relative to a plane in parallel with the top end of the container.
  • Figs. 1a and 1b show one embodiment of the attachment member 1.
  • the attachment member 1 includes mounting means 3 for interacting with a container 2.
  • the attachment member 1 includes a removable lid 11. In this embodiment, the attachment member is circular.
  • Fig. 2 shows the attachment member 1 designed as a semi-circle.
  • the attachment member includes a scraping edge 4 and a surface 5 connecting the scraping edge with the mounting means 3.
  • the mounting means 3 are equipped with a recess 14. This recess 14 interacts with the edge of a container (not shown) such that the attachment member 1 stays firmly.
  • Fig. 3 shows the attachment member 1 with a projection 7 and a recess 8.
  • the projection 7 acts a pouring spout when paint is poured from the container (not shown) upon which the attachment member is attached.
  • the recess 8 ensures that possible paint running from the outer side of the projection 7 will be conducted away from the mounting means 3.
  • the recess 8 is connected to the surface 5 (not shown). This contributes to possible paint being conducted back to the container.
  • Fig. 4 shows a second embodiment of the attachment member shown in Fig. 3 .
  • the mounting means are provided a recess 14 for interacting with the edge of a container (not shown).
  • the connection 16 between recess 8 and surface 5 is shown.
  • Fig. 5 shows the attachment member 1 in a circular embodiment.
  • the mounting means 3 further include a notch 15.
  • This notch 15 functions together with the recess 14 as a further fastening for a container edge (not shown), since the gap between the recess 14 and the notch 15 will preferably be as large as the edge of the container, and thereby the attachment member 1 is retained.
  • the notch 15 provides that the distance from the container edge (not shown) to the surface 5 can be determined.
  • the attachment member 1 may further include a detaching lug 10 provided at the outer side of the mounting means.
  • the detaching lug 10 may be applicable if other parts of the attachment member 1 have been covered by paint, and the attachment member 1 is desired to be removed without getting paint on the hands.
  • Fig. 6 shows a cross-section of the attachment member 1 mounted on a container 2.
  • the surface 5 is in contact with the inner edge 17 of the container.
  • the surface 5 abuts on the inner edge 17, it is ensured that no paint gets into contact with the part 6 of the container on which the container lid is applied.
  • Fig. 7 shows a lid 11.
  • the lid 11 has projections 13 at the inner side (recesses on the outer side). These projections 13 interact with the recesses 14 on the mounting means 3. This provides that the lid 11 stays firmly and fits rather tightly.
  • the lid 11 may therefore be used temporarily during short interruptions in the paint work such that the paint does not dry up.
  • the lid may further include grooves 12. This will contribute to the carrying capacity of the lid being increased, and thereby many containers (not shown) may be stacked upon each other even if the lid 11 is made of thin plastic.
  • the top area 9 of the lid 11 may be smaller than the bottom of the container (not shown). For cylindric containers, this provides in particular that the containers can be stacked in a more stable way than without the attachment member.
