DESCRIPTION

Easy open pin identifier cap

TECHNICAL SECTOR

In modeling, the models are currently painted with acrylic products that are presented in cans with a paint dispenser. The 17 ml or 10 ml caps and cans for paint currently used in the hobby sector do not allow identifying the type of paint inside, on the one hand, due to the material used in its manufacture and, on the other, because the application of the paint on any surface, its drying and the light make the color tone vary with respect to what we see in a pot.

It is a problem when buying or storing a bottle to quickly know what color it is. On the other hand, the cans in which the paint dries on the thread are difficult to open, you can even use pliers to open them and sometimes the cap is damaged.

The design that is on the market of the stopper, with a series of grooves on the outside, does not allow to exert enough force to open it once the paint inside has dried.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The 17 ml or 10 ml type of container comes from the pharmaceutical industry where it is used to package drugs whose administration is through drops such as eye drops, among others. Later these cans began to be used to pack small amounts of paint used in the hobby sector.

The caps and containers that we are using in the sector are standard and are normally found in the market, with the only variation being the color of the cap. The drawback observed is that the end customer, due to the opacity of the material used On both sides, you can not identify the exact color of the product. In addition, these cans are usually stored in boxes or drawers in such a way that, to identify the characteristics of their content, it is necessary to remove the bottle, read the name and even uncover the cap to see the color of the paint in question.

Also due to excess paint that can deposit on the cannula when closing, the paint dries and prevents opening easily. This is why we endow the plug with lobes that will allow it to be held easily and without effort.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The device of the invention allows a drop of paint to be deposited in the cavity that the stopper has on the upper part, thereby enabling the person who is going to paint to identify the color of the paint immediately, even if they are standing up. in a drawer. With this cap you would save a lot of time to find and identify the correct paint. The adhesion of the paint and the shape of the cavity will prevent the removal of the paint once deposited by rubbing.

The cap is designed in a single piece and with a new structure (lobes) that allow greater force when opening. This will make opening it faster and easier, it would not be necessary in an eye drop, but it is necessary when dealing with paint, when the paint dries on the closing thread. It even allows the design of a tool later to open the canister.

To avoid the possibility of the paint can dripping when closed, the improvement has been introduced of adding an internal lug which, when closing the cap, adjusts the tip of the cannula completely sealing it and making it impossible for paint to come out, even if the can is tipped over. By avoiding this we prevent the paint from drying in the cannula and reaching the threaded part of the closure, consequently it will no longer get stuck and the opening will be much easier.

In the current models none of these things is possible since they are not adapted to the sector that corresponds to us.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

Figure 1.- Shows a 3d view of the current cap on the market that is not adapted for our hobby painting sector.

Figure 2.- Shows a 3d view of four lobes of the side cap and its assembly in the can can be seen.

Figure 3.- Shows a 3d view of the four-lobed stopper that we want to manufacture where the cavity where the paint goes can be seen in the central part and will allow the specific color and new shape to be identified for easy opening of the bottle.

Figure 4.- Shows a 3d view of the three-lobed stopper that we want to manufacture where the cavity where the paint goes can be seen in the central part and will allow the specific color and new shape to be identified for easy opening of the bottle.

Figure 5.- Shows a sectional section of the four-lobed cap where the closing lug for the cannula of the can is observed.

PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

The model subject to utility is made of a plastic part injected into a steel mold, to obtain the part, the hollow part of the interior with thread together with the added nipple allow it to be adapted to close the bottle and the outside part is prepared for deposit the paint that will later be visible and its shape also allows rapid opening or closing at the tightening torque desired by the user.

INDUSTRIAL APPLICATION

The cap object of this Utility Model will be manufactured with the appropriate materials for its elements and components in plastic or ABS material.
