Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a painting apparatus.
- It is known for users to decant paint from a paint container into a roller tray, load a roller sleeve with paint using the roller tray, and then apply paint to a surface such as a wall or ceiling with the roller sleeve. Users find this known process both time consuming, in that it is necessary to continually load the roller sleeve with paint from the roller tray and decant paint from the paint container to the roller tray. The risk of spilling paint is also high due to the need to decant paint into the roller tray, and then load the roller sleeve before applying the paint to the surface.
- Painting apparatus exists whereby paint is automatically fed from the paint container to the roller sleeve without the need to decant the paint into a roller tray, and load the roller sleeve. The applicants co-pending patent application
GB2448578 DE 195 13 886 shows a spray can with the features of the preamble of claim 1. - It would be desirable to improve the means by which the closure module is secured to the paint container.
- Thus, according to the present invention, there is provided a painting apparatus comprising a paint container and a closure module, the paint container having a screw threaded rim, the closure module having a main housing and an outer ring, the outer ring having a screw thread, in which the outer ring is rotatable relative to the main housing such that the screw thread cooperates with the threaded rim of the paint container to secure the closure module onto the paint container without having to rotate the main housing relative to the paint container, wherein the closure module includes a first feature, and the paint container includes a second feature, in which the first and second features cooperate to prevent rotation of the main housing relative to the paint container when the closure module is secured on the paint container.
- Advantageously, this enables the closure module to utilise the screw thread on the paint container to secure the closure module to the paint container without having to rotate the main housing. Avoiding rotation of the main housing reduces the risk of any components connected to the main housing, for example, a conduit connected to a roller assembly, from becoming tangled as they rotate with the main housing.

Figure 1 shows a priorart painting apparatus 400 comprising apaint container 412 , aclosure module 415, a dip-tube assembly 490, and aroller assembly 480. The dip-tube assembly is fluidly connected to theroller assembly 480 viaconduit 430. Such an apparatus is described inGB2448578 - With reference to
Figures 2 to 22 there is shown apainting apparatus 10 of the present invention comprising apaint container 12, aclosure module 15, a dip-tube assembly 190, and aroller assembly 195. The dip-tube assembly 190 is fluidly connected to theroller assembly 210 viaconduit 130. - The
roller assembly 210 comprises aroller cage 212 which houses aroller sleeve 214, and aswitch 216. - The
paint container 12 includes amain body 14, acollar 16, ahandle 18, and aremovable closure 20. Themain body 14 has an inwardly taperingneck portion 22 and anupstanding rim portion 24. Theupstanding rim portion 24 has arim 25 which defines a container aperture 26 (Figures 4 and4A ). - The
collar 16 has anupstanding rim 27 with aninternal web 28 projecting radially inwardly therefrom. Theweb 28 includes a dip-tube aperture 29 which is dimensioned such that it can receive a dip-tube assembly (see below).Aperture 31 is defined between theinternal web 28 and the rim 27 (Figure 5 ). - The
collar 16 snap-fits onto theupstanding rim 24 of the paint container by engagement of amain body projection 32 with a collar projection 30 (Figure 6 ). - The
collar 16 also includes ascrew thread 34 onto which ascrew thread 36 of theclosure 20 is screwed so as to close and seal the paint container 12 (Figure 6 ). Thescrew thread 24 of thecollar 16 also engages with the closure module 15 (see below) when theclosure 20 has been removed. - The
handle 18 is secured to thecollar 16 in a known way. - In
Figure 7 , theclosure module 15 includes amain housing 36 and a circularouter ring 38. The main housing comprises anupper casing 40, and alower casing 42. Typically the closure module components are made of plastic, for example, ABS. InFigure 14 , theclosure module 15 is shown with theouter ring 38 present. - The
upper case 40 includes ahandle 71 to enable thecontrol module 15 to be carried. - In
Figures 10 ,11 , and16 , theupper casing 40 has anupper surface 41 upon which is located a dip-tube aperture 44. Theupper casing 40 further includes twoidentical apertures 46 arranged such that when assembled between the upper and lower casing, theouter ring 38 can be manipulated through the apertures 34 (see below). - In
Figures 9 ,12 , and15 , thelower casing 42 has anupper surface 48 and alower surface 50. Theupper surface 48 includes a dip-tube aperture 52 on itsupper surface 48. Thelower casing 42 includes twoidentical apertures 54 arranged such that when assembled with theupper casing 40, both theapertures 46 on theupper casing 40 coincide with theapertures 54 on the lower casing such that theouter ring 38 can be manipulated (see below). Thelower surface 50 includes arecess 56 into which handle 18 locates when theclosure module 15 is secured onto thepaint container 12. - The
lower casing 42 include three horizontal inwardly extending ledges 66 (Figure 15 ). - The
lower casing 42 also includes a downwardly extendingprojection 70 which is dimensioned such that it locates inside and throughaperture 31 ofcollar 15. - In
Figure 8 , theouter ring 38 has an outerradial surface 58 and an innerradial surface 60. Theouter surface 58 includes a plurality ofindents 62 to enable theouter ring 38 to be manipulated and rotated. - The
closure module 15 is assembled by positioning theouter ring 38 inside thelower casing 42 such that theouter ring 38 sits upon theledges 66. Aspring 80 is positioned between anupper surface 82 of theouter ring 38 and alower inside surface 84 of thepower casing 42 such that theouter ring 38 is biased downwards towards the ledges 66 (Figure 13 ). The spring force is selected such that theouter ring 38 can be rotated by a normal user. - The upper and lower casings are secured together using screws (not shown). Once assembled together, the
outer ring 38 is visible throughapertures tube apertures Figures 8 and12 ). - In
Figures 3 ,16 , and17 , theclosure module 15 can then be positioned onto thepaint container 12 such that the downwardly extendingprojection 70 locates insideaperture 31 of thecollar 16. The tolerance level between theprojection 70 andaperture 31 ensures that the dip-tube apertures closure module 15 are vertically aligned with the dip-tube aperture 29 oncollar 16. - The
outer ring 38 is then rotated such thatscrew thread 64 engages with thescrew thread 34 of the collar to secure theclosure module 15 onto the paint container 12 (Figure 13 ). InFigure 13A theouter ring 38 is shown screwed ontocollar 16 without showing the other components of thecontrol module 15. - It will be appreciated that the provision of
downward projection 70 prevents theclosure module 15 from rotating relative to thepaint container 12 which is advantageous when rotating theouter ring 38 as only one hand is required. In an alternative embodiment without the downward projection, it may be necessary to hold the main casing with one hand whilst rotating the outer ring with the other to prevent rotation of the main casing. - In
Figure 18 there is shown a dip-tube assembly 180. The dip-tube assembly 190 comprises a sealedcylindrical housing 185 having agear pump 186 located at its lower free end. Thecylindrical housing 185 includes alower casing 192 to retain thegear pump 186. Thelower casing 192 includes a plurality of holes (not shown) which are sized so as to prevent particles of greater than 2mm passing into the gear pump. - In
Figure 20 theclosure module 15 includes amotor 160 and adrive gear 181 which connects themotor 160 to adrive gear 130 of the dip-tube assembly 190 when the dip-tube assembly 195 is inserted throughapertures gears - In
Figure 21 , thegear pump 186 comprises two meshed gears 140,142.Gear 140 is connected viadrive shaft 189 to gear 130 such that rotation ofgear 181 which is connected to themotor 60 causes the two meshed gears 140,142 to rotate. Rotation of the gears 140,142 by activation ofswitch 216 causes paint 150 to be sucked up through the holes in thecasing 192, and into thetube 188 via ahole 193 andchannel arrangement 195.Tube 188 is fluidly connected via a connector 197 (shown as a broken continuation lines inFigure 21 ) totube 120, and therefore paint is driven from the paint container to theroller assembly 180. Thetube 120 has an internal diameter of 6mm. - The
downward projection 70 prevents relative rotation between the paint container and the closure module and therefore vertical misalignment ofapertures aperture 29 on thecollar 16. Maintaining alignment of the apertures therefore prevents the dip-tube assembly 180 from being damaged (Figure 22 ). - When the closure module is secured on the paint container, a seal is formed therebetween such that paint can only leave the paint container via the dip-tube assembly, i.e. there is a seal (not shown) between the dip-tube assembly and the closure module, and between the closure module and the paint container.
- In an alternative embodiment the collar of the paint container can include a dip-tube aperture located at the centre-point of the paint container opening as opposed to being offset from the centre-point. Similarly, the collar can simply include an opening without the provision of a dip-tube aperture. In both cases, it is not necessary to prevent rotation of the closure module relative to the paint container, and therefore there is no requirement for a downward projection as in the embodiment of
Figures 2 to 22 . - In an alternative embodiment the paint container can be provided as a one-piece moulding including the collar and main body as opposed to separate arrangement of the above embodiments.
