This is in Art lessons in the first two grades are often desirable for pedagogical reasons, because it makes it easier for students to handle the colors taken out of the container and then it is easier for them to limit themselves to painting with the separated colors if they are arranged separately from the other colors. In this way, pedagogical learning content such as the color theory can be better conveyed to the children if certain colors are put together in a targeted manner by means of an arrangement in the cover part that is predetermined by the learning objective.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Farbkasten mit einem Behälterteil, das einen Boden und am Boden angeordnete Haltemittel zur lösbaren Befestigung von mehreren, einzelnen Farbbehältern aufweist, und einem Deckelteil, das als Malpalette zum Malen mit mehreren Farbmischmulden ausgebildet ist.The invention relates to a paint box with a container part which has a base and holding means arranged on the base for the detachable attachment of several individual paint containers, and a cover part which is designed as a paint palette for painting with a number of paint mixing troughs.

Ein gattungsbildender Farbkasten wird beispielsweise offenbart in dem Dokument US 2014/0284225 A1 ,A generic color fountain is disclosed in the document, for example U.S. 2014/0284225 A1 ,

Malpaletten werden beim Malen zum Bereithalten und Mischen von Farben verwendet. Sie bestehen in der Regel aus einer ebenen Platte mit einer Greiföffnung zur Erleichterung des Haltens mit der Hand. Für das Malen mit wasserlöslichen Farben bestimmte Malpaletten können mit Mulden oder Vertiefungen zum Mischen oder Verdünnen von Farben mit Wasser versehen sein. Die zum Malen verwendeten Farben werden üblicherweise in kleiner, jeweils benötigter Menge getrennt von der Malpalette angeordneten Farbbehältern entnommen und auf die Malpalette aufgetragen; wasserlösliche Farben werden dabei in gelöster Form mit einem Pinsel in die Mulden eingebracht und zur Erzeugung von Zwischenfarbtönen dort mit anderen Farben gemischt. Das hierbei immer wieder erforderliche Übertragen von Farbe aus den Farbbehältern auf die Malpalette ist umständlich und kann leicht zur Verunreinigung des Malorts führen.Paint palettes are used when painting to hold and mix colors. They usually consist of a flat plate with a gripping hole to make it easier to hold by hand. Paint palettes designed for painting with water-soluble paints may have wells or indentations for mixing or diluting paint with water. The colors used for painting are usually taken in small, respectively required quantities from paint containers arranged separately from the painting palette and applied to the painting palette; water-soluble colors are applied in dissolved form with a brush into the cavities and mixed with other colors to create intermediate color tones. The repeatedly required transfer of paint from the paint containers to the painting palette is cumbersome and can easily lead to contamination of the painting site.

Für das Malen mit Wasserfarben in Schulen und Kindergärten werden vornehmlich Farbkästen verwendet, die ein als Malpalette mit Farbmischmulden ausgebildetes Deckelteil haben, wie beispielsweise DE 94 14 281 U1 zeigt. Das Deckelteil ist aufklappbar und dient meist zum Verschließen eines kastenförmigen Behälterteils, in dem in zwei Reihen längs der Längsseite jeweils mehrere Farbbehälter angeordnet sind, die Farbtabletten in verschiedener Farbe enthalten. Die Farbbehälter sind durch lösbare Haltemittel an dem Behälterboden befestigt. Zwischen der beiden Farbbehälterreihen ist in der Regel ein Freiraum für das Einlegen eines oder mehrerer Pinsel vorhanden. Weiterhin ist an einem Ende der Farbbehälterreihen oft ein Platz für eine Tube mit Deckweiß freigelassen. Die Farbmischmulden auf der Innenseite des Deckelteils sind üblicherweise als schalen-, napf- oder kastenförmige Vertiefungen ausgebildet und durch nach innen erhabene Bereiche oder Wände des Deckelteils voneinander getrennt. Die Farbmischmulden dienen zur Herstellung von Farbtönen durch Mischen verschiedener Grundfarben oder zur Zubereitung von Farben geringerer Farbdichte durch Zugabe von Wasser. Üblicherweise wird dabei mit einem zuvor in Wasser getauchten Pinsel eine Farbtablette benutzt und gelöste flüssige Farbe mit dem Pinsel zu einer Farbmischmulde im Deckelteil gebracht. Bei diesen sich vielfach wiederholenden Vorgängen kann es leicht zum Abtropfen von Farbe kommen, wodurch das Unterteil des Farbkastens und Nachbarfarben mit Farbspritzern und Farbklecksen verschmutzt werden. Nach dem Malen sind daher nicht nur die Innenseite des Deckelteils, sondern auch das Behälterteil und etliche Farbbehälter zu reinigen.For painting with watercolors in schools and kindergartens, paint boxes are primarily used which have a lid part designed as a painting palette with paint mixing troughs, such as, for example DE 94 14 281 U1 shows. The cover part can be opened and is usually used to close a box-shaped container part in which several paint containers are arranged in two rows along the long side are containing colored tablets of different colors. The paint canisters are attached to the canister bottom by releasable retaining means. There is usually a free space between the two rows of paint containers for inserting one or more brushes. Furthermore, a space for a tube of opaque white is often left free at one end of the rows of paint containers. The color mixing depressions on the inside of the cover part are usually designed as bowl-, cup- or box-shaped depressions and are separated from one another by inwardly raised areas or walls of the cover part. The color mixing troughs are used to produce color shades by mixing different basic colors or to prepare colors with a lower color density by adding water. Usually, a paint tablet is used with a brush previously dipped in water and the dissolved liquid paint is brought to a paint mixing trough in the cover part with the brush. In the case of these frequently repeated processes, it is easy for paint to drip off, as a result of which the lower part of the paint fountain and neighboring colors are soiled with splashes and blobs of paint. Therefore, after painting, not only the inside of the lid part but also the container part and several paint containers have to be cleaned.

Aus DE 76 33 442 U1 ist ein Malkasten bekannt, der aus einem Mittelteil und zwei Deckeln besteht. Das Mitteilteil hat die Form eines hohlen, an einem Ende offenen Quaders, der durch Wände in Fächer zur Bildung eines Wasserbehälters und zur Aufnahme von Pinseln unterteilt ist. Die beiden Deckel sind als Hohldeckel ausgeführt und durch Scharniere mit dem Mittelteil verbunden. In einer Ausführungsvariante des Malkastens sind in beiden Deckeln Farbnäpfchen angeordnet und diesen benachbart mittels angeformter Rippen Farbmischflächen gebildet. Beide Deckel sind deckungsgleich und können daher in einem Werkzeug hergestellt werden.Out of DE 76 33 442 U1 a paint box is known, which consists of a central part and two lids. The central part is in the form of a hollow parallelepiped open at one end, which is divided by walls into compartments for forming a water container and for accommodating brushes. The two lids are designed as hollow lids and are connected to the middle section by hinges. In one embodiment of the paint box, paint cups are arranged in both covers and paint mixing surfaces are formed adjacent to them by means of molded ribs. Both lids are congruent and can therefore be manufactured in one tool.

Aus DE 10 2010 013 460 A1 ist ein Farbkasten mit auswechselbaren Farbschalchen bekannt, die jeweils an ihnen zugeordneten und am Boden des Farbkastens angeordneten Aufnahmen lösbar befestigbar sind. Jede Aufnahme verfügt über eine umlaufende Aufnahmewandung und einen Aufnahmeboden, der durch den jeweiligen Kastenboden gebildet ist. Die umlaufende Aufnahmewandung ist hohlzylindrisch ausgebildet und an die zylindrische Mantelfläche des Farbbehälters des Farbschälchens angepasst. Im befestigten Zustand des Farbschälchens in der Aufnahme umgibt die Aufnahmewandung bis auf eine Unterbrechung in der umlaufenden Wandung die Mantelfläche des Farbbehälters bis zu einer bestimmten Höhe. In die Unterbrechung der umlaufenden Wandung greift ein Führungsteil des Farbschälchens ein, das eine Drehung des Farbschälchens in seinem befestigten Zustand verhindert. Der Farbkasten umfasst einen Unterkasten, einen Oberkasten und ein Deckelteil, die in der genannten Abfolge in Vertikalrichtung übereinander angeordnet sind. Zum Malen können der Ober- und der Unterkasten voneinander getrennt werden, etwa um sämtliche verfügbaren Farbschälchen des Farbkastens nebeneinander zu stellen und gleichzeitig nutzen zu können. Ober- und Unterkasten sind somit beim Malen mit Farbschälchen gefüllt, so dass die Aufnahmen der Farbschälchen für eine andere Nutzung nicht zugänglich sind.Out of DE 10 2010 013 460 A1 an ink fountain with interchangeable ink trays is known which can be releasably fastened to receptacles assigned to them and arranged on the bottom of the ink fountain. Each recording has one peripheral receiving wall and a receiving floor, which is formed by the respective box floor. The peripheral receiving wall is designed as a hollow cylinder and is adapted to the cylindrical lateral surface of the paint container of the paint bowl. In the fastened state of the paint bowl in the receptacle, the receptacle wall surrounds the outer surface of the paint container up to a certain height, with the exception of an interruption in the circumferential wall. A guide part of the paint tray engages in the interruption in the circumferential wall and prevents rotation of the paint tray in its fastened state. The ink fountain comprises a bottom box, a top box and a cover part, which are arranged one above the other in the vertical direction in the named sequence. For painting, the upper and lower boxes can be separated from each other, for example to put all the available paint bowls in the paint box next to each other and use them at the same time. The upper and lower boxes are thus filled with paint bowls when painting, so that the recordings of the paint bowls are not accessible for other uses.

Ein aus EP 2 481 611 A1 bekannter Farbkasten umfasst zur Aufnahme eines Farbschalensets eine Aufnahmeplatte und einen Deckel, die beide an ihrem Außenrand etwa halbkreisförmige Vorsprünge aufweisen, die komplementär zu der Außenkontur eines aus insgesamt sechs Farbschalen gebildeten Kreisrings sind. Jedem Vorsprung der Aufnahmeplatte ist eine kreisscheibenförmige Vertiefung zugeordnet, welche nach Entfernen der Farbschalen zum Mischen von Farbe dienen kann. Die Farbschalen liegen hierbei lose auf der Aufnahmeplatte auf und werden in dieser Lage nicht durch an der Aufnahmeplatte ausgebildete Haltemittel, sondern nur durch den Deckel gehalten, wenn dieser auf die Aufnahmeplatte aufgesetzt und durch Mittel zu seiner Verriegelung an der Aufnahmeplatte befestigt ist.On off EP 2 481 611 A1 known ink fountain comprises a receiving plate and a cover for receiving an ink tray set, both of which have approximately semicircular projections on their outer edge, which are complementary to the outer contour of a circular ring formed from a total of six ink trays. Each projection of the receiving plate is associated with a circular disc-shaped recess, which can be used for mixing paint after removing the paint shells. The paint trays lie loosely on the mounting plate and are not held in this position by retaining means formed on the mounting plate, but only by the cover when this is placed on the mounting plate and fastened to the mounting plate by locking means.

Aus DE 1 008 623 A ist ein Malkasten mit auswechselbaren, zwischen zwei starren Führungen festklemmbaren Farbnäpfchen bekannt, der aus einem Kastenunterteil und einem durch Scharniere mit diesem verbundenen Deckel besteht. Der Boden des Unterteils hat Vertiefungen mit konvergierenden Seitenwänden zwischen denen kreisrunde Knopfansätze der festklemmbar sind. Der Deckel weist vertiefte Felder auf, die üblicherweise zum Mischen von Farbe bestimmt sind.Out of DE 1 008 623 A a paint box with interchangeable paint cups that can be clamped between two rigid guides is known, which consists of a bottom part of the box and a lid connected to it by hinges. The bottom of Bottom has indentations with converging side walls between which are circular button lugs that can be clamped. The lid has recessed areas typically intended for mixing paint.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Farbkasten mit Malpalette zur Verfügung zu stellen, die das Malen und Reinhalten des Malorts oder des Farbkastens erleichtert.The object of the invention is to provide a paint box with a painting palette that facilitates painting and keeping the painting site or the paint box clean.

Die Aufgabe wird durch einen Farbkasten mit Malpalette mit den in Anspruch 1 angegebenen Merkmalen gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen des Farbkastens mit Malpalette sind in den Unteransprüchen angegeben.The object is achieved by a paint box with a palette with the features specified in claim 1. Advantageous configurations of the paint box with paint palette are specified in the dependent claims.

Der erfindungsgemäße Farbkasten hat ein Behälterteil, das einen Boden und am Boden angeordnete Haltemittel zur lösbaren Befestigung von mehreren, einzelnen Farbbehältern aufweist, sowie ein Deckelteil, das als Malpalette ausgebildet ist.The paint box according to the invention has a container part which has a base and holding means arranged on the base for the detachable attachment of several individual paint containers, and a cover part which is designed as a painting palette.

Nach der Erfindung hat die Malpalette mehrere Farbmischmulden, wobei wenigstens eine der Farbmischmulden ein Haltemittel zur lösbaren Befestigung eines Farbbehälters in der Farbmischmulde aufweist. Insbesondere sind mehrere oder alle Farbmischmulden der Malpalette mit einem Haltemittel zur lösbaren Befestigung eines Farbbehälters versehen. Andererseits können neben Farbmischmulden mit Haltemittel auch solche ohne Haltemittel vorhanden sein. Auf der erfindungsgemäßen Malpalette können zum Malen ausgewählte Farbbehälter unmittelbar befestigt werden. Das Übertragen von Farbe aus den Farbbehältern in die Farbmischmulden kann daher über der Malpalette erfolgen, so dass abtropfende Farbe von der Malpalette aufgefangen wird. Das Entnehmen und Mischen von Farbe benötigt nur kurze Pinselwege und ist dadurch einfache. Die Befestigung der Farbbehälter in den Farbmischmulden bietet eine gute Abstützung und kann daher mit einfachen und kostengünstigen Haltemitteln und am Farbbehälter angeordneten Gegenhaltemitteln erzielt werden.According to the invention, the painting palette has several paint mixing troughs, at least one of the paint mixing troughs having a retaining means for the detachable attachment of a paint container in the paint mixing trough. In particular, several or all paint mixing troughs of the painting palette are provided with a holding means for the detachable attachment of a paint container. On the other hand, in addition to color mixing troughs with holding means, there can also be those without holding means. Color containers selected for painting can be attached directly to the painting palette according to the invention. The transfer of paint from the paint containers into the paint mixing troughs can therefore take place above the painting palette, so that dripping paint is caught by the painting palette. The removal and mixing of paint requires only short brush strokes and is therefore easy. Fastening the paint containers in the paint mixing troughs provides good support and can therefore be achieved with simple and inexpensive holding means and counter-holding means arranged on the paint container.

Vorteilhaft ist es, wenn die Malpalette mehrere Farbmischmulden mit Haltemittel und mehrere Farbmischmulden ohne Haltemittel in solcher Anordnung aufweist, dass jeder Farbmischmulde ohne Haltemittel eine Farbmischmulde mit Haltemittel benachbart ist. Durch diese Gestaltung wird eine räumliche Nähe zwischen den verschiedenen Farbmischmulden erreicht, so dass kurze Pinselwege die Handhabung erleichtern. Vorzugsweise sind die Haltemittel in der Farbmischmulde so angeordnet, dass sie durch den damit gehaltenen Farbbehälter abgedeckt werden, so dass sie beim Malen nicht mit Farbe beschmutzt werden können. Hierzu ist es vorteilhaft, wenn die Haltemittel aufweisenden Farbmischmulden eine solche Größe haben, dass die Farbbehälter teilweise in sie eindringen können.It is advantageous if the painting palette has a plurality of color mixing wells with holding means and a plurality of color mixing wells without holding means in such an arrangement that each color mixing well without holding means is adjacent to a color mixing well with holding means. This design achieves spatial proximity between the different paint mixing troughs, so that short brush paths make handling easier. The holding means are preferably arranged in the paint mixing trough in such a way that they are covered by the paint container held therewith, so that they cannot be soiled with paint when painting. For this purpose, it is advantageous if the color mixing troughs having holding means are of such a size that the color containers can partially penetrate into them.

Die erfindungsgemäße Gestaltung des Farbkastens mit einem als Malpalette ausgebildeten Deckel macht es möglich, einen oder mehrere Farbbehälter, deren Farbe zum Malen verwendet werden soll, aus dem Behälterteil herauszunehmen und in einer Farbmulde im Deckelteil zu befestigen. Auf diese Weise kann das Benetzen und entnehmen von Farbe auf den Bereich des Deckelteils beschränkt bleiben, so dass das Behälterteil und die dort befindlichen Farben sauber bleiben können. Soll mit einer anderen Farbe gemalt werden, so kann der nicht mehr benutzte Farbbehälter in das Behälterteil zurückgesetzt werden und stattdessen ein anderer gewünschte Farbbehälter in einer Farbmischmulde im Deckelteil befestigt werden. Durch den größeren Abstand, den die Farbbehälter in den Farbmischmulden im Deckelteil haben können, wird ein unbeabsichtigtes Übermalen und Verschmutzen benachbarter Farbbehälter vermieden, zu dem es bei herkömmlichen Deckfarbkästen eher kommen kann, weil die Farbbehälter im Behälterteil zwingend enger angeordnet sein müssen.The inventive design of the paint box with a lid designed as a painting palette makes it possible to remove one or more paint containers whose color is to be used for painting from the container part and to fasten them in a paint well in the cover part. In this way, the wetting and removal of paint can be limited to the area of the cover part, so that the container part and the paint located there can remain clean. If you want to paint with a different color, the paint container that is no longer used can be placed back in the container part and another desired paint container can be fixed in a paint mixing trough in the cover part instead. Due to the greater distance that the paint containers can have in the paint mixing troughs in the lid part, unintentional painting over and soiling of neighboring paint containers is avoided, which is more likely to happen with conventional top paint boxes because the paint containers in the container part must be arranged closer together.

Der Farbkasten nach der Erfindung bietet weiter die Möglichkeit, einige wenige Farben aus dem im Behälterteil vorhandenen Sortiment herauszunehmen und als ausgewählte Farbzusammenstellung im Deckelteil zu verankern. Dies ist im Kunstunterricht in den ersten beiden Schulklassen aus pädagogischen Gründen vielfach erwünscht, weil es Schülern die Handhabung mit den aus dem Behälterteil herausgenommenen Farben erleichtert und es ihnen dann leichter fällt, sich auf das Malen mit den ausgesonderten Farben zu beschränken, wenn diese von den übrigen Farben getrennt angeordnet sind. Auch lassen sich auf diese Weise den Kindern pädagogische Lerninhalte wie die Farblehren besser vermitteln, wenn gezielt bestimmte Farben durch entsprechende vom Lernziel vorgegebene Anordnung im Deckelteil zusammengestellt werden. Ein entsprechender Lernvorteil wird auch bei der freien Handhabung durch das Kind in und außerhalb des Kunstunterrichts erzielt, wenn es die Farben spielerisch im Deckelteil entsprechend der persönlichen Vorlieben und der für das Bild gewünschten Farbkombination zusammenstellt. Zwar sind die Farbschälchen auch bei herkömmlichen Deckfarbkästen einzeln entnehmbar. Sie lassen sich allerdings während der Handhabung allenfalls auf dem Tisch anordnen, wo sie nicht gegen Verrutschen geschützt sind und räumlich von der Mischmulde weiter entfernt sind, so dass es leicht zu unbeabsichtigten Verunreinigungen von Tisch und Deckfarbkasten durch von Pinseln abtropfende gelöste Farbe kommen kann.The color box according to the invention also offers the possibility of removing a few colors from the range available in the container part and anchoring them as a selected color combination in the cover part. This is in Art lessons in the first two grades are often desirable for pedagogical reasons, because it makes it easier for students to handle the colors taken out of the container and then it is easier for them to limit themselves to painting with the separated colors if they are arranged separately from the other colors. In this way, pedagogical learning content such as the color theory can be better conveyed to the children if certain colors are put together in a targeted manner by means of an arrangement in the cover part that is predetermined by the learning objective. A corresponding learning advantage is also achieved with free handling by the child in and outside of art lessons when the colors are playfully put together in the cover part according to personal preferences and the color combination desired for the picture. The paint bowls can be removed individually even with conventional paint boxes. However, they can at best be arranged on the table during handling, where they are not protected against slipping and are spatially further away from the mixing trough, so that the table and top paint box can easily be unintentionally soiled by dissolved paint dripping from brushes.

Die Haltemittel zur Befestigung der Farbbehälter am Deckelteil sind erfindungsgemäß verschieden von den Haltemitteln zur Befestigung der Farbbehälter im Farbkasten. Die Haltemittel am Deckelteil weisen außerdem einen kleineren Widerstand gegen Lösen auf als die Haltemittel im Farbkasten. Für die Gestaltung der Haltemittel kommen solche in Betracht, eine formschlüssige, kraftschlüssige oder reibschlüssige Verbindung mit dem Farbbehälter eingehen.According to the invention, the holding means for attaching the ink containers to the cover part are different from the holding means for attaching the ink containers in the ink fountain. The holding means on the cover part also have a lower resistance to loosening than the holding means in the ink fountain. For the design of the holding means, those come into consideration that enter into a form-fitting, force-fitting or friction-fitting connection with the paint container.

Das Deckelteil des Farbkastens kann vom Behälterteil entfernbar sein, es kann aber auch durch Drehgelenke mit dem Behälterteil derart verbunden sein, dass es durch Drehung um 180° aus einer Schließstellung in eine Offenstellung bewegbar ist.The lid part of the ink fountain can be removable from the container part, but it can also be connected to the container part by swivel joints in such a way that it can be moved from a closed position to an open position by rotating it through 180°.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung ist in der Zeichnung dargestellt und wird im Folgenden näher beschrieben.An embodiment of the invention is shown in the drawing and is described in more detail below.

Die Zeichnung zeigt die Innenseiten eines aufgeklappten Farbkastens 1, der ein Behälterteil 2 und ein Deckelteil 3 aufweist, die durch Drehgelenke 4 beweglich miteinander verbunden sind. Zum Schließen des Farbkastens wird das Deckelteil 3 umgeklappt, so dass es auf dem Behälterteil 2 aufliegt und dessen Innenraum 5 verschließt. Im Behälterteil 2 befinden sich in zwei Reihen nebeneinander angeordnete Farbbehälter 6, die jeweils eine Farbtablette 7 enthalten, die aus wasserlöslicher Farbe bestehen kann. Die Farbbehälter 6 haben die Form eines oben offenen Topfes oder einer Schale und sind am Boden 8 des Behälterteils 2 durch erste Haltemittel 9 befestigt. Die ersten Haltemittel 9 können federnde oder starre Rasten oder Schnapper oder klemmende Mittel sein, die im Zusammenwirken mit am Boden der Farbbehälter 6 angeordneten federnden, starren oder klemmenden Gegenhaltemitteln eine lösbare Befestigung bewirken, durch die die Farbbehälter am Boden 8 des Behälterteils 2 festgehalten sind. Solche Halte- und Gegenhaltemittel sind beispielsweise aus DE 443 899 A , DE 699 165 A , DE 18 12 915 A und DE 23 56 204 A1 bekannt. Anstelle solcher mechanischer Haltemittel können auch andere, wie z.B. magnetische Haltemittel vorgesehen sein.The drawing shows the insides of an opened ink fountain 1, which has a container part 2 and a cover part 3, which are movably connected to one another by pivots 4. To close the ink fountain, the cover part 3 is folded over so that it rests on the container part 2 and closes the interior space 5 thereof. In the container part 2 there are two rows of paint containers 6 arranged next to one another, each containing a paint tablet 7 which can consist of water-soluble paint. The paint containers 6 have the shape of an open-topped pot or bowl and are fixed to the bottom 8 of the container part 2 by first holding means 9 . The first holding means 9 can be resilient or rigid detents or snappers or clamping means which, in cooperation with resilient, rigid or clamping counter-retaining means arranged on the bottom of the paint container 6, bring about a detachable fastening, by which the paint containers are held on the bottom 8 of the container part 2. Such holding and counter-holding means are made, for example DE 443 899 A , DE 699 165 A , DE 18 12 915 A and DE 23 56 204 A1 known. Instead of such mechanical holding means, other holding means, such as magnetic holding means, can also be provided.

Das Deckelteil 3 bildet eine Malpalette 10 und weist auf seiner Innenseite erste Farbmischmulden 11 und zweite Farbmischmulden 12 auf. Die Farbmischmulden 11, 12 haben die Form von in die Innenfläche des Deckelteils 3 eingetieften Senken oder Wannen, die sich zur Aufnahme von kleinen Mengen von Wasser oder in Wasser gelöster Farbe eignen. Die Farbmischmulden 12 sind etwas größer als die Farbmischmulden 11 und in ihrer Mitte mit einem zweiten Haltemittel 13 versehen. Die Farbmischmulden 11 sind in wechselnder Folge mit Farbmischmulden 12 so angeordnet, dass den Farbmischmulden 11 jeweils eine Farbmischmulde 12 gegenüberliegt. In die einzelnen Farbmischmulden 12 kann jeweils ein Farbbehälter 6 aus dem Behälterteil 2 eingesetzt und durch ein mit dem Farbbehälter 6 zusammenwirkendes Haltemittel 13 festgehalten werden.The cover part 3 forms a painting palette 10 and has first color mixing wells 11 and second color mixing wells 12 on its inside. The paint mixing troughs 11, 12 are in the form of depressions or troughs which are recessed into the inner surface of the cover part 3 and are suitable for receiving small amounts of water or paint dissolved in water. The color mixing troughs 12 are slightly larger than the color mixing troughs 11 and are provided with a second holding means 13 in their center. The color mixing troughs 11 are arranged in alternating sequence with color mixing troughs 12 in such a way that the color mixing troughs 11 are each opposite a color mixing trough 12 . A paint container 6 inserted from the container part 2 and held in place by a holding means 13 cooperating with the paint container 6 .

Wie die Zeichnung an einem Beispiel veranschaulicht, sind zwei Befestigungsstellen im Behälterteil 2 leer und die ersten Haltemittel 9 dort sichtbar. Die an den Leerstellen entnommenen Farbbehälter 6 befinden sich zum Malen auf der Malpalette 10 des Deckelteils 3. Die beiden Farbbehälter 6 sind dort in die beiden, dem in der Zeichnung linken Rand des Deckelteils 3 benachbarten zweiten Farbmischmulden 12 eingesetzt und durch zweite Haltemittel 13 in den Farbmischmulden 12 befestigt. Die zweiten Haltemittel 13 können den ersten Haltemitteln 9 gleichen oder auch von diesen verschieden sein, wobei in jedem Fall geeignete Gegenhaltemittel an den Farbbehältern 6 vorhanden sein müssen.As the drawing illustrates using an example, two fastening points in the container part 2 are empty and the first holding means 9 are visible there. The paint containers 6 removed from the empty spaces are located on the painting palette 10 of the cover part 3 for painting. The two paint containers 6 are inserted there in the two second paint mixing wells 12 adjacent to the left edge of the cover part 3 in the drawing and are fastened in the paint mixing wells 12 by second holding means 13. The second holding means 13 can be the same as the first holding means 9 or different from them, with suitable counter-holding means having to be present on the paint containers 6 in any case.

Den im Deckelteil 3 befindlichen Farbbehältern 6 sind in dieser Anordnung drei erste Farbmischmulden 11 und eine Farbmischmulde 12 unmittelbar benachbart und können zum Mischen von Farbe genutzt werden. Das Entnehmen von Farbe und das Mischen kann somit allein über der Malpalette 10 des Deckelteils 3 und mit kurzen Pinselwegen erfolgen. Die Gefahr der Verunreinigung des Behälterteils 2 und der darin befindlichen Farbbehälter 6 ist daher gering.In this arrangement, three first color mixing troughs 11 and one color mixing trough 12 are immediately adjacent to the color containers 6 located in the cover part 3 and can be used for mixing color. The removal of color and the mixing can thus be done solely on the painting palette 10 of the cover part 3 and with short brush strokes. The risk of contamination of the container part 2 and the paint container 6 located therein is therefore low.

Bei dem in der Zeichnung dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel können maximal sechs Farbbehälter an dem Deckelteil 3 befestigt werden. Dies dürfte für die Mehrzahl der Anwendungsfälle genügen. Gestaltungen für die Aufnahme von mehr als sechs Farbbehältern am Deckelteil 3 sind aber ebenfalls möglich.In the embodiment shown in the drawing, a maximum of six paint containers can be attached to the cover part 3 . This should suffice for the majority of applications. However, configurations for accommodating more than six paint containers on the cover part 3 are also possible.
