Description

Container with a lid The subject of the invention is a container provided with

a

  cover, intended to contain paint that will be introduced

  In the above-mentioned air-brush technique, the paint is applied by fine spraying under air pressure with the aid of the spray gun.

  painting, especially in the field of model making, where the applica-

  painting may be carried out on scaled-down reproductions of vehicles, planes, etc. Said technique

  air-brush is practiced by people such as

  children, teenagers, model makers and model enthusiasts. In the case of containers used up to now,

  the lid had to be unscrewed to

  property of painting the container in the spray gun

  re, or even in the paint tank of it

  wise and screwing the lid is impractical and takes

  When handling the open container, the cover

  The key may be lost or may fall from the work table.

  On the other hand, paint may be spilled on the outside of the container and may soil the user's clothing or the work table. The exact dosage of the amount of paint to pour from the container into the paint gun will In addition, the paint containers are open for an extended period of time during this operation, which

  causes disadvantageous evaporation of the solvent from the paint.

  The purpose of the invention, or the problem to be solved by

  the invention is to improve the operation and

  cilitate the handling of such a container, compared to

the state of the art.

  To achieve this goal, it is first

  with a lid, intended to contain paint

  which will be introduced into a spray gun to be

  plicated according to the so-called air-brush technique, which is characterized by the fact that the cover has an outlet orifice and

  a segment that can be moved under the application of a

  in the container interior, resilient return means being provided to return the segment automatically to its starting position, after the disappearance of the digital pressure To introduce paint into the

  paint gun, just hold the end of the neck-

  vial of such a container downwards, so that the

  paint enters the outlet Then,

  the mentioned segment by pressing on it with your finger.

  This causes an increase in the pressure inside the

  container and, as a result, the exit of the painting by the

  Output Fitting The dosage can then be made very fine so that the paint is distributed by drops

  This is particularly important for the realization

  the air-brush technique, when it is desired to shade a shade very finely or when it is desired to mix it with other colors. The user can have several such containers filled with paint on his work table, each container containing another color, in order to obtain the right shade by mixing these colors in the spray gun.

  The lids remain permanently on the containers

  The disadvantages mentioned in the context of the state of

the technique are avoided.

  A preferred embodiment of the invention lies in the

  the container lid has a segment

  made of an elastic material, for example rubber, of pre-

  in the form of a cap of a hollow or similar sphere

  the airtight connection on the lid, and in that an air communication exists between the face turned towards the inside of the container, or even the concave face of the hollow cap and the container. spherical hollow can be operated easily by pressure

  digitally, the user having the possibility to adjust the quantity

  The internal volume of the hollow spherical cap being relatively large, the wall of the hollow spherical cap can remain relatively thin. In this way, a sufficient quantity of paint can be obtained by soaking the wall of this segment more or less deeply. be distributed even if the applied digital force is not very large. Due to the fact that the outlet is provided in

  a neck protruding from the lid and is

  preferably in a monobloc manner with the latter,

  pulation of the apparatus and especially the introduction of painting

  in the paint gun are facilitated.

  The fact that the outlet orifice can be blocked prevents evaporation of solvents from the paint when

  is not used, and the embodiments, according to the-

  which the neck has at its front end an obtura-

  in which the outlet orifice penetrates, according to which this shutter can be cut at the outlet orifice

  and according to which, on the other hand, the frontal face of the obstruction

  The embodiment of the embodiment of the invention is such that, in this form, the shutter engages sealingly on the remaining end end of the neck, and on the other hand, the end end of the shutter has a spine. concentric and an annular space surrounding this spine, the spine fitting into

  the outlet orifice and the annular space interlocking with each other

  above the remaining frontal end of the neck, represent

  advantageous embodiments of the aforementioned shutter.

  Other advantages and details of the invention are

  indicated in the following description and associated drawings

  appended examples of possible embodiments of the invention.

  A container 2 made of, for example, glass or plastic contains paint 14 and is provided with an external thread 4 on which the internal thread is screwed.

3 of a lid 1.

  On its upper face, the lid 1 is provided with a

  circular flange 10, inside which is provided a segment

  can be pressed in the direction of the arrow, against a spring effect, towards the inside of the container When the compression force is canceled, the segment returns

  in its starting position thanks to the elastic spring effect

  According to the preferred embodiment, illustrated in the drawing, this segment is made of a piece of elasticity.

  adequate cleanliness, for example in a piece made of

  rubber, which is produced here in the form of a cap 11 of a hollow sphere or in the form of a hollow body having a shape similar to its lower face, the segment 11 may further comprise folds between which a communication 12 of air is provided, which continues as a communication 13 in the material of the cover, so that the air contained inside the segment 11 is driven, under the application of a

  pressure in the direction of the arrow, towards the inside of

  The segment 11 is sealingly connected to the lid 1,

  for example by gluing, so that when

  11, the air can not escape to the outside. On the other hand, an outlet 15 is provided which passes through a neck 5 preferably made of the material of the lid, for example in a plastic material, in one piece, and which can be closed with a shutter 7.

  In use, one proceeds in such a way as to re-

  first turn the device according to Figure 2 until the area of the lid is at a lower level than the bottom of the container, so that the paint is introduced at least into the orifice 15 Next, segment 11 compression

  in the direction of the arrow reduces the volume in-

  The interior of the container, which causes a portion of the paint to exit through the orifice 15 Since the segment 11 is made of an elastic material, it automatically returns to its initial position shown in Figure 2, after the disappearance of the compression force (see arrow) Such an elastic restoring force could also be obtained in another way, for example by means of a spring which is compressed, when a compressive force is exerted according to

  the arrow on a deformable segment which is then

  this spring restoring the deformable segment in its

  initial appearance after the disappearance of the compres-

  Due to its simplicity of construction and its robustness, the execution shown in Figures 1 and 2 is the

  preferred embodiment of the invention.

  The outlet port 15 and the neck 5 surrounding it project beyond the cover 1, preferably in the longitudinal direction of the container, so that

  also reach paint filling areas of the pistol

  let's paint that are badly located.
