Definitions

  • the present invention relates, in general, to the field of devices for applying paint of whatsoever kind on a vertical or horizontal surface. More particularly, the object of the invention is a tray assembly for painting roller provided with a reservoir able to deliver controlled quantities of paint of whatsoever kind inside the tray.
  • a painting roller which allows, advantageously, the application on a wall of a layer of paint of whatsoever kind which is substantially uniform and in relatively short times, even by an inexpert user.
  • a painting roller comprises a support frame provided with grip and a cylindrical roller, typically made in absorbent material, such as for example fabric or sponge, carried by the support frame and rotatable around an axis perpendicular to the grip.
  • the painting roller is usually used by immersing it in a receptacle containing the paint of whatsoever kind, making it pass over a net in metallic or plastic material to eliminate the surplus paint and making it slide over the surface to be painted until the paint carried by it is used up. Once the paint has been used up, the roller is once again immersed in the receptacle.
  • roller entails a waste of energy and of time in that the roller has first to be immersed in the receptacle and subsequently made to pass over the net to squeeze it in order to eliminate the surplus paint.
  • Trays are also known that are specially configured for use with a painting roller, which trays comprise an area for containing paint of whatsoever kind, wherein the roller is made to slide so that it is coated with paint, flanked by an area having smaller depth which provides a surface, preferably sloped, whereon the roller is squeezed.
  • the paint containing area has, in fact, limited capacity so that, once emptied, it will have to be filled again by the user with paint contained in a standard drum, for example 5 litres, commonly available commercially.
  • the main object of the present invention is, therefore, that of eliminating, or at least reducing, the aforesaid disadvantages of the trays for painting roller known to the state of the art, providing a tray assembly for painting roller provided with a reservoir able to deliver controlled quantities of paint inside the tray. In this way the user no longer has to perform repeated operations of transfer of the paint from the drum of paint to the tray, which operations, in addition to soiling the surrounding environment, considerably prolong the times of painting.
  • Another object of the present invention is that of providing a tray assembly for painting roller of simple use, also by an inexpert user, and which can be obtained at competitive manufacturing costs.
  • a tray assembly for painting roller comprising:
  • FIG. 1 a tray assembly for painting roller according to the present invention is illustrated in them, denoted in general by reference numeral 100.
  • the tray assembly 100 comprises a tray 10 and a delivery reservoir 30 rising from the tray 10 and having the function of delivering controlled quantities of paint in the tray 10.
  • the tray 10 comprises a paint containing portion 11 and a portion 12, extending at the rear from the portion 11 and acting as support for the paint delivery reservoir 30.
  • the paint containing portion 11 comprises a bottom surface 13, wherefrom a front wall 14, a rear wall 15 and side walls 16 rise, the latter extending, preferably, for the whole length of the tray 10.
  • the side walls 16 preferably have respective edge portions 17 so that the front wall 14 and the rear wall 15 are lowered in relation to the side walls 16.
  • the bottom surface 13 has a portion 13a slightly sloped upwards in proximity of the front wall 14.
  • the support portion 12, on the tray 10, of the paint delivery reservoir 30 extends from the paint containing portion 11 starting from its rear surface 15 and comprises a recess 18, which can be seen more clearly in Figure 3 .
  • the recess 18 preferably has a width equal to the distance between the edge portions 17 of the side walls 16 of the tray 10 and is intended to hold, slotted and non-removably, a complementary portion 31 projecting below from the paint delivery reservoir 30.
  • Naturally other methods of coupling between tray 10 and paint delivery reservoir 30 can be foreseen, or the tray 10 and the paint delivery reservoir 30 can be integral.
  • each side wall 16 has a sloped section 20 having a slope equal to that of the ramp raised parts 19.
  • At least one tooth 21 projects upwards, preferably a central tooth, more preferably a pair of end teeth 21 arranged on an opposite band in relation to the longitudinal axis of the tray 10, whose function will be described herein below with reference to Figures 6a and 6b .
  • the paint delivery reservoir 30, preferably parallelepiped in shape, has a capacity considerably greater than that of the tray 10, equal for example to 5 litres which, as mentioned previously, is the standard capacity of a drum of paint commonly available on the market. More particularly, the paint delivery reservoir 30 has a bottom surface 32 and side surfaces 34 rising from the bottom surface 32.
  • the projecting portion 31 is formed, complementary to the recess 18 present in the portion 12 of the tray 10.
  • This projecting portion 31 is intended, in use, to be housed in the recess 18, so as to allow a slotted and non-removable coupling between the tray 10 and the paint delivery reservoir 30.
  • the paint delivery reservoir 30 preferably has an upper perimeter edge 33 having the function of facilitating gripping of the reservoir 30 by a user in order to couple/uncouple it to/from the tray 10.
  • the side wall 34 of the paint delivery reservoir 30, turned, during use, towards the interior of the tray 10, is provided with a lower window 35 and carries means of opening/closing 40 this window 35.
  • the window 35 preferably has a width substantially equal to the distance between the ramp raised parts 19.
  • the opening/closing means 40 comprise an arm 42, which carries below shutoff means 44 of the window 35.
  • the arm 42 is hinged to the delivery reservoir 30 so as to be able to rotate in relation thereto between an open position of the window 35 and a closed position of the window 35.
  • the shutoff means 44 release the window 35, placing the paint delivery reservoir 30 in fluid connection with the tray 10, with consequent controlled flow of paint from the delivery reservoir 30 to the paint containing portion 11 of the tray 10.
  • the shutoff means 44 close the window 35 tightly, interrupting the supply of paint from the delivery reservoir 30 to the tray 10.
  • the arm 42 preferably comprises a rectilinear section 41 and a sloped section 43. At the junction area between the rectilinear section 41 and the sloped section 43 fork means 45 extend from the arm for pivoting of the arm 42 to the paint delivery reservoir 30 by means of a pin 46 carried by a U-shaped plate member 36 fixed to the paint delivery reservoir 30. The arm 42 is, therefore, pivoted to the paint delivery reservoir 30 and appropriately distanced therefrom.
  • the shutoff means 44 are preferably made up of a plate 44 having slightly greater dimensions than those of the window and suitable for tightly closing the window 35 from the inside of the delivery reservoir 30.
  • the facing wings 47 are tapered so as to be able to slide inside the window 35 during the phase of operation of the opening/closing means 40.
  • the opening/closing means 40 comprise, moreover, elastic return means 48, for example a helicoidal spring, having one end restrained to the free end of the arm 42 and the other end connected to the paint delivery reservoir 30, preferably at its upper perimeter edge 33.
  • elastic return means 48 for example a helicoidal spring
  • the tray assembly 100 comprises a supplementary reservoir 50, suitable for being stacked on the paint delivery reservoir 30, so as to increase the capacity thereof.
  • the supplementary reservoir 50 comprises a bottom surface 52 and side walls 54.
  • an opening 51 is formed for placing the supplementary reservoir 50 in fluid communication with the paint delivery reservoir 30, once stacked.
  • the supplementary reservoir 50 preferably also has an upper perimeter edge 53 having the function of facilitating the gripping of the supplementary reservoir 50 by the user. It is possible to provide different methods of superimposition of the two reservoirs, delivery 30 and supplementary 50.
  • the supplementary reservoir 50 may have such dimensions as to allow the partial insertion thereof in the delivery reservoir 30, or slotting means (not shown) may be provided at its lower surface 52, suitable for co-operating with complementary means which may be provided on the upper perimeter edge 33 of the paint delivery reservoir 30.
  • FIGS. 4 and 5 they illustrate the tray assembly 100 of the invention, with the addition of a painting roller.
  • the painting roller denoted, in general, by reference numeral 60, is of the type provided with tilting anti-drip cover and described in the Italian patent application MI2010A001611 , in the name of the Applicant of this application, incorporated in full here by reference.
  • the painting roller 60 comprises a support frame 61 provided with grip 62, a cylindrical roller 63 (see Figures 6a and 6b ) in absorbent material connected rotatably to the support frame 61 and a tilting anti-drip cover 64, suitable for partially screening the cylindrical roller 63.
  • the tilting anti-drip cover 64 comprises, in its turn, a shell 65, preferably semicylindrical, closed laterally by a pair of side panels 66. Naturally the anti-drip cover can be fixed instead of tilting.
  • the roller 60 preferably has, at the longitudinal edges of the shell 65, at least one wheel 67, preferably in plastic material, mounted rotatably on a respective fork means 68.
  • FIG. 6a and 6b a description will be given of the functioning of the tray assembly for painting roller 100 of the invention.
  • the painting roller 60 is used with the tilting anti-drip cover 64 described previously with reference to Figures 4 and 5
  • a painting roller 60' is used without this cover, which comprises, therefore, a support frame 61' provided with grip 62' and a cylindrical roller 63' in absorbent material connected rotatably to the support frame 61'.
  • the user makes the roller 60, 60' slide on the bottom surface 13 of the tray 10 in the direction of approach to the delivery reservoir 30 (arrow F1, Figures 6a and 7a ).
  • the ends 61a Figures 4 and 5
  • the cylindrical roller 63, 63' is mounted rotatably rest, preferably, on the side walls 16 of the tray 10.
  • the anti-drip cover 64 ( Figure 6a )/the cylindrical roller 63' ( Figure 7a ) comes into contact with the means 40 for opening/closing the window 35, more particularly with the rectilinear portion 41 of the arm 42.
  • roller 63, 63' rests on the ramp raised parts 19 and, correspondingly, the ends of the support frame 61, 61' of the roller are positioned on the sloping sections 20 of the side surfaces 16 of the tray 10.
  • the arm 42 rotates clockwise (arrow F2, Figures 6a and 7a ) around the pivoting pin 46 and the spring 48 elongates.
  • the plate 44 detaches from the window 35, moving inside the paint delivery reservoir 30 and placing the latter in fluid communication with the tray 10 (arrow F, Figures 6a and 7a ).
  • the roller 60, 60' detaches from the arm 42, which, due to the action of elastic return of the spring 48, rotates anticlockwise (arrow F3, Figures 6b and 7b ), until the plate 44 moves to abut against the side wall 34 of the paint delivery reservoir 30, closing the opening 35 tightly.
  • the flow of paint from the delivery reservoir 30 to the tray 10 is therefore shut off.
  • the roller 60, 60' is made to slide backwards (arrow F4, Figures 6b and 7b ), thus coating itself with paint.
  • the anti-drip cover 64 hits against the teeth 21, so as to position immediately below the cylindrical roller 63, preventing the fall of drips of paint of whatsoever kind in the passage of the painting roller 60 from the tray assembly 100 to the surface to be painted.
