Description
DESCRIZIONE DESCRIPTION
Il presente trovato riguarda un dispositivo per l’erogazione di sostanze contenute in bombolette spray. The present invention relates to a device for dispensing substances contained in spray cans.
E’ noto che una bomboletta spray è un contenitore, solitamente metallico, contenente un liquido destinato ad essere nebulizzato quando si agisce su una valvola, posta sulla parte superiore del contenitore, attraverso la quale il liquido fuoriesce, unitamente ad un gas propellente, passando da un apposito ugello diffusore. It is known that a spray can is a container, usually metallic, containing a liquid intended to be nebulized when a valve is operated on the upper part of the container, through which the liquid escapes, together with a propellant gas, passing through a special diffuser nozzle.
Un inconveniente legato all’uso delle bombolette spray del tipo noto risiede nella particolare difficoltà di controllare, ovvero regolare, l’efflusso del liquido. Tale inconveniente risulta particolarmente evidente quando si tratta di bombolette contenenti vernici utilizzate per realizzare opere artistiche o figurative. Infatti, l’impossibilità di regolare l’efflusso della vernice con la dovuta sensibilità impedisce di produrre tutti gli effetti voluti, con particolare riferimento allo spessore dei segni prodotti e alle sfumature di colore. A drawback related to the use of spray cans of the known type lies in the particular difficulty of controlling, or regulating, the outflow of the liquid. This drawback is particularly evident when dealing with cans containing paints used to create artistic or figurative works. In fact, the impossibility of regulating the outflow of the paint with the necessary sensitivity prevents it from producing all the desired effects, with particular reference to the thickness of the marks produced and the shades of color.
Lo scopo principale della presente invenzione è quello di eliminare, o quantomeno fortemente ridurre, i suddetti inconvenienti. The main object of the present invention is to eliminate, or at least strongly reduce, the aforementioned drawbacks.
A questo risultato si è pervenuti, in conformità della presente invenzione, adottando l’idea di realizzare un dispositivo avente le caratteristiche indicate nella rivendicazione 1. Altre caratteristiche della presente invenzione sono oggetto delle rivendicazioni dipendenti. This result has been achieved, in accordance with the present invention, by adopting the idea of making a device having the characteristics indicated in claim 1. Other characteristics of the present invention are the subject of the dependent claims.
Grazie al presente trovato, è possibile regolare o controllare anche finemente l’efflusso della sostanza contenuta nella bomboletta, ciò che si rivela particolarmente utile nel caso delle bombolette contenenti vernici. Inoltre, un dispositivo in conformità della presente invenzione è di fabbricazione semplice, economico, affidabile, riutilizzabile. Oltre a ciò si evidenzia il fatto che il dispositivo in oggetto è particolarmente comodo e semplice da utilizzare. Thanks to the present invention, it is possible to regulate or even finely control the outflow of the substance contained in the can, which is particularly useful in the case of cans containing paints. Furthermore, a device according to the present invention is simple to manufacture, inexpensive, reliable, reusable. In addition to this, it should be noted that the device in question is particularly convenient and simple to use.
Questi ed ulteriori vantaggi e caratteristiche della presente invenzione saranno più e meglio compresi da ogni tecnico del ramo grazie alla descrizione che segue ed agli annessi disegni, forniti a titolo esemplificativo ma da non considerarsi in senso limitativo, nei quali: These and further advantages and characteristics of the present invention will be better understood by every person skilled in the art thanks to the following description and the attached drawings, provided by way of example but not to be considered in a limiting sense, in which:
- la Fig.1 rappresenta una schematica vista in prospettiva di un dispositivo in conformità dell’invenzione applicato su di una bomboletta spray; - Fig.1 represents a schematic perspective view of a device in accordance with the invention applied on a spray can;
- le Figg.2-4 rappresentano una vista frontale, una vista laterale ed una vista in pianta dall'alto della bomboletta e del dispositivo di Fig.1; - Figs. 2-4 show a front view, a side view and a top plan view of the can and of the device of Fig.1;
- la Fig.5 rappresenta una schematica vista in prospettiva del solo dispositivo; - Fig.5 represents a schematic perspective view of the device alone;
- la Fig.6 rappresenta schematicamente una ulteriore possibilità di impiego di un dispositivo in conformità della presente invenzione. Ridotto alla sua struttura essenziale e con riferimento alle figure degli annessi disegni, un dispositivo in conformità della presente invenzione è applicabile, ad esempio, ad una bomboletta (1) provvista di valvola a pressione con ugello erogatore (2) sulla sua parte superiore e comprende: - Fig.6 schematically represents a further possibility of using a device in accordance with the present invention. Reduced to its essential structure and with reference to the figures of the attached drawings, a device according to the present invention can be applied, for example, to a can (1) provided with a pressure valve with a dispensing nozzle (2) on its upper part and comprises :
- un elemento fisso (3) amovibilmente agganciabile alla bomboletta (1) in corrispondenza di una zona di ancoraggio definita sulla stessa bomboletta (1); e - a fixed element (3) which can be removably hooked to the can (1) in correspondence with an anchoring zone defined on the same can (1); And
- una leva (4) supportata dal detto elemento fisso (3) e destinata ad agire sulla detta valvola (2). - a lever (4) supported by said fixed element (3) and designed to act on said valve (2).
Più particolarmente, l’elemento fisso (3) presenta una base (30) che in pianta è a forma di “C” e due ali (31) emergenti da parti diametralmente opposte dalla base (30).Ognuna delle dette ali (31) presenta un foro (32) per il collegamento della leva (4) come ulteriormente descritto nel seguito. L’altezza delle ali (31) è tale che, quando il dispositivo è applicato alla bomboletta (1), i relativi fori (32) risultano ad una quota maggiore della valvola (2). La conformazione a “C” della base (30) permette di agganciarla agevolmente ad un bordo anulare (10) presentato da tutte le bombolette standard al di sotto della valvola (2): si accosta la base (30) al bordo (10) della bomboletta, spingendo in maniera da forzare i due bracci della “C” a divaricarsi e insediarsi tra il bordo anulare (10) e la parete superiore (11) della bomboletta. L’elasticità propria dei due bracci della “C” determina, conseguentemente, l’aggancio dell’elemento (3) al detto bordo (10) della bomboletta (1). Per sganciare l’elemento (3), si esercita su questo una forza in direzione contraria a quella di aggancio. Nel disegno di Fig.4 la freccia “A” indica la direzione di aggancio, mentre la freccia “S” indica la direzione di sgancio. More particularly, the fixed element (3) has a base (30) which in plan is in the shape of a "C" and two wings (31) emerging from diametrically opposite sides from the base (30). has a hole (32) for connecting the lever (4) as further described below. The height of the wings (31) is such that, when the device is applied to the can (1), the relative holes (32) are at a greater height than the valve (2). The "C" shape of the base (30) allows it to be easily hooked to an annular edge (10) presented by all standard cans below the valve (2): the base (30) is approached to the edge (10) of the can, pushing in such a way as to force the two arms of the “C” to spread apart and settle between the annular edge (10) and the upper wall (11) of the can. The elasticity of the two arms of the "C" determines, consequently, the hooking of the element (3) to the said edge (10) of the can (1). To release the element (3), a force is exerted on it in the opposite direction to that of attachment. In the drawing of Fig.4 the arrow “A” indicates the coupling direction, while the arrow “S” indicates the release direction.
Ad esempio, il detto elemento fisso (3) può essere ricavato da una lamiera metallica opportunamente sagomata per formare la base (30) a “C” e piegata per formare le ali (31). For example, the said fixed element (3) can be obtained from a metal sheet suitably shaped to form the C-shaped base (30) and folded to form the wings (31).
La leva (4) presenta una parte anteriore (40) a forma trapezoidale con due appendici esterne e coassiali (41) destinate ad essere inserite ognuna in un corrispondente foro (32) dell’elemento (3). L’asse comune delle dette appendici (41) costituisce l’asse di collegamento e di cerniera della leva (4) sulle ali (31) dell’elemento (3). La parte anteriore (40) della leva (4) è angolata rispetto alla parte posteriore (42), formando una convessità rivolta verso il basso, cioè verso la base (30) dell’elemento (3). The lever (4) has a trapezoidal-shaped front part (40) with two external and coaxial appendages (41) designed to be inserted each in a corresponding hole (32) of the element (3). The common axis of the said appendages (41) constitutes the connection and hinge axis of the lever (4) on the wings (31) of the element (3). The front (40) of the lever (4) is angled with respect to the rear (42), forming a convexity facing downwards, i.e. towards the base (30) of the element (3).
Conseguentemente, quando l’elemento (3) è agganciato alla bomboletta (1) lo spigolo della leva (4) tra la parte anteriore (40) e la parte posteriore (42) della stessa risulta rivolto verso la faccia superiore della valvola (2). Per erogare la sostanza contenuta nella bomboletta (1), l’utilizzatore spinge la leva (4) verso il basso con il dito indice della stessa mano che impugna la bomboletta, per cui la valvola (2) è azionata in funzione della spinta esercitata con l'indice, spinta più facilmente modulabile rispetto all’azione diretta del dito sulla valvola (2) come normalmente viene fatto. In altri termini, intervenendo sulla leva (4) che insiste sulla valvola (2), anziché intervenire direttamente su quest’ultima, si riesce a controllare più agevolmente e più efficacemente l’efflusso delle sostanze contenute nella bomboletta (1). Consequently, when the element (3) is hooked to the can (1) the edge of the lever (4) between the front part (40) and the rear part (42) of the same is turned towards the upper face of the valve (2) . To dispense the substance contained in the can (1), the user pushes the lever (4) downwards with the index finger of the same hand that holds the can, so that the valve (2) is operated according to the thrust exerted with the index finger, more easily modulated thrust with respect to the direct action of the finger on the valve (2) as is normally done. In other words, by acting on the lever (4) which insists on the valve (2), instead of directly acting on the latter, it is possible to control more easily and more effectively the outflow of the substances contained in the can (1).
L’estremità posteriore della leva (4) può essere piegata verso il basso, come illustrato nelle figure degli annessi disegni, in maniera da formare una superficie di appoggio per il dito dell’utilizzatore e così ulteriormente agevolare l’impiego della bomboletta. The rear end of the lever (4) can be folded down, as shown in the figures of the attached drawings, so as to form a support surface for the user's finger and thus further facilitate the use of the can.
In pratica, il presente dispositivo comprende mezzi per la sua associazione stabile ma amovibile ad una bomboletta spray (1) provvista di valvola a pressione con ugello erogatore (2) sulla sua parte superiore. Inoltre, il dispositivo comprende mezzi agenti su detta valvola (2) per esercitare su di essa una pressione allo scopo di determinare l’efflusso delle sostanze attraverso il relativo ugello. In conformità dell’invenzione, i detti mezzi di associazione stabile ma amovibile alla bomboletta (1) comprendono un elemento (3) agganciabile ad una superficie (10) della bomboletta (1); e i detti mezzi agenti sulla valvola (2) comprendono una leva (4) incernierata sul detto elemento (3) e posizionata superiormente alla valvola (2). In practice, the present device comprises means for its stable but removable association to a spray can (1) provided with a pressure valve with dispensing nozzle (2) on its upper part. Furthermore, the device comprises means acting on said valve (2) to exert pressure on it in order to determine the outflow of substances through the relative nozzle. In accordance with the invention, said means of stable but removable association to the can (1) comprise an element (3) which can be hooked to a surface (10) of the can (1); and the said means acting on the valve (2) comprise a lever (4) hinged on the said element (3) and positioned above the valve (2).
Il dispositivo in oggetto consente anche di applicare la bomboletta (1) su di un'asta, come schematicamente illustrato in Fig.6. L'asta (5) è cava e al suo interno passa un cavetto (50) con un capo collegato alla parte posteriore della leva (4) – la quale presenta un apposito foro (43) - e con l'altro capo collegato ad una leva (51) articolata più in basso sul corpo della stessa asta (5). Quest'ultima, inoltre, è provvista di due bracci elastici arcuati (52) che cingono la bomboletta (1) in prossimità della sua parte superiore. In tal modo, agendo sulla leva (51) con un dito della stessa mano che impugna l'asta (5), si comanda il dispositivo (3) ed è possibile utilizzare la bomboletta (1) per raggiungere punti non raggiungibili in altro modo. In pratica i particolari di esecuzione possono comunque variare in maniera equivalente per ciò che attiene alla forma, alle dimensioni e alla disposizione dei singoli elementi descritti e illustrati, nonché alla natura dei materiali indicati, senza per questo uscire dall'ambito del concetto innovativo adottato e perciò restando nei limiti della tutela accordata dal presente brevetto. The device in question also allows to apply the can (1) on a rod, as schematically illustrated in Fig.6. The rod (5) is hollow and a cable (50) passes through it with one end connected to the rear part of the lever (4) - which has a special hole (43) - and with the other end connected to a lever (51) articulated lower on the body of the rod (5). The latter, moreover, is provided with two arched elastic arms (52) which surround the can (1) near its upper part. In this way, by acting on the lever (51) with a finger of the same hand that holds the rod (5), the device (3) is controlled and it is possible to use the can (1) to reach points that cannot be reached in any other way. In practice, the details of execution may in any case vary in an equivalent manner as regards the shape, size and arrangement of the individual elements described and illustrated, as well as the nature of the materials indicated, without thereby departing from the scope of the innovative concept adopted and therefore remaining within the limits of the protection granted by this patent.
