Definitions

  • the invention relates to a painting tool such as a paint or drawing pen, for attaching a paint on a substrate surface, with a shank on which the tool is engageable, and with a stored in the shaft reservoir for storage with the paint, the tool with a tool head having an applicator is provided, by means of which the paint passes onto the substrate surface, and with a valve arranged between the reservoir and the tool head with its valve body which, when actuated, changes from a closed position to an open position and a quantity in the latter of the paint for attachment to the surface from the reservoir to the applicator emits.
  • a painting tool such as a paint or drawing pen
  • Such application tools are well-known for applying a protective, decorative or functional layer and are often designed in a kind of pencil form, so that they are particularly easy to handle, with differently shaped applicators allowing very different ways of application. For example, it may be common to the different application tools that by exerting a certain pressure of the operator via the shaft on the applicator or a part connected to it, the valve actuation is triggered, which causes the release of the paint from the reservoir.
  • Such application tools can be used, for example, in the growing, so-called “fine art” sector in the sector of decorative coatings as so-called
  • CONFIRMATION COPY Pump marker be formed in pen form.
  • the applicator tools can be provided in general and their reservoirs can also be closed with other containers which can be closed, for example, by means of screwed or plugged connections.
  • GB 252 428 A discloses a paint-like application tool for applying paint, in which a cosmetic to be applied to a surface or a paint as a paint is to be contacted directly with the substrate surface and supplied with a solvent from a reservoir.
  • a pin-like applicator tool is known, which is able to deliver a paint in the situation.
  • the reservoir is formed as a container independent of the shaft, which can be supplied from the side facing away from the applicator for exchange, whereby a refill requires a certain skill and is happy to go along with unwanted contamination.
  • the application tool After emptying its reservoir, the application tool can be supplied for disposal, which can be the case relatively quickly in case of correspondingly intensive use or limited reservoir.
  • This is usually cumbersome and due to the usually existing instability of the tool in the erected state is not a particularly satisfactory solution, since during refilling constantly falling over of the tool with appropriate pollution in the environment must be feared by the paint.
  • the proposal appears, the tool facing away from the tool head Turn off the bottom and remove in an opening of the reservoir held valve for refilling.
  • the bottom area of the tool would have to be disproportionately widened compared to its other dimensions, on the other hand, a contamination-free removal and reapplication of the valve succeeds only very rarely.
  • an application tool which, on the one hand, reduces the consumption of application tools per se and, on the other hand, allows them to be refilled with a coating reliably and neatly.
  • This object is achieved by an application tool of the aforementioned type, in which a support member is arranged in the longitudinal extension of the application tool between the shaft and the tool head, which receives the valve body of the valve with the predominant part of its longitudinal extension in the direction away from the applicator and determines and in which the support member is provided with the shaft and the tool head of the tool each releasably connectable.
  • the support member can thus receive the valve of the applicator tool, whereby it can be easily prepared for filling or refilling with each of the paint, without any fear that this would be associated with accidental pollution of the environment.
  • the valve of the applicator tool At the same reservoir size and consumption of the respective held paint quantity in the reservoir of the applicator tool is no longer the criterion which determines the end of its use when using the tool, because about the valve previously could only be removed with considerable damage to about the shaft, so now a not less important Contribution to relieving the disposal branch is made, which also appears quite considerable in environmental terms.
  • a considerable, sustainability-emphasizing side effect here is that the filling amount of the reservoir is extended by the volume enclosed by the carrier part when it is used.
  • An embodiment of the application tool that is easy to handle in the process of refilling can be formed in that the support part is formed by a sleeve which receives the valve at least over part of its longitudinal extent, in particular accommodating the major part of the longitudinal extension of the valve body. Since the sleeve in question encloses the valve or its body, it can advantageously be grasped without the person in question already coming into contact with the paint.
  • the valve body forms a rotational body invariable under any rotational operations about its longitudinal axis and is provided with an annular flange which, in the position of use of the valve body, covers the opening edge of one end of the carrier part, so that at the respective end of the carrier part the flange and the valve is formed a st irnseit iger completion of the support member, which can close the reservoir of the shaft.
