(Embodiment 1)
Hereinafter, with reference to FIGS. 1-4, the structure of the coating-tool holding | maintenance apparatus 100 concerning Embodiment 1 is demonstrated. The coating tool holding device 100 is attached to an edge of an outer bucket in a double container such as a bucket in which a cartridge (inner container) that accommodates paint is fitted, and the edge of the inner cartridge (inner container) is attached to the paint container holding device 100. While holding, it supports the handle of a brush or other paint tool.

  Fig.1 (a) is a left view which shows the coating tool holding | maintenance apparatus 100 concerning Embodiment 1 of this invention, (b) is the A section enlarged view. 2A is a plan view of the paint implement holding apparatus 100 shown in FIG. 1, and FIG. 2B is a reference plan view for explaining the internal structure of the paint implement holding apparatus 100. FIG. FIG. 3 is a front view of the paint implement holding apparatus 100 shown in FIG. FIG. 4 is a rear view of the paint implement holding apparatus 100 shown in FIG.

As shown in FIG. 1 (a), this paint implement holding device 100 is a left side view, a main body portion 1 attached to a bucket outside a double container, an arm portion 3 provided on an upper portion of the main body portion 1, and a main body portion 1 And a connecting shaft 2 for connecting the arm part 3 to each other. The main body 1 includes an outer shaft 14 located outside the bucket and an inner shaft 13 located in the gap between the inner cartridge of the double container and the inner container of the double container. The outer shaft 14 is located along the outer surface of the outer container from the edge of the outer container of the double container, and the inner shaft 13 is the inner side of the outer container from the edge of the outer container of the double container, that is, the outer container and the inner side. It is inserted into the gap of the container. A hollow portion 15 that is an upper space formed by the inner shaft 13 and the outer shaft 14 is a substantially tetragonal space, and is a space that can include an end edge with a thick bucket. The main body 1 is made of an elastic material such as plastic or resin.

As shown in FIG. 1B, the outer shaft 14 is viewed from the left side, and the upper portion extends substantially vertically from the top to the bottom, and further extends substantially vertically downward through the outer shaft bending portion 14b. Then, it bends at an angle of about 108 degrees obliquely toward the direction of the inner shaft 13. The lower portion of the outer shaft 14 extends obliquely toward the inner shaft 13 and exhibits a semicircular arc-shaped curve, and then the outer shaft tip portion 14b warps in the direction opposite to the inner shaft 13. .

  The lower part of the outer shaft 14 has an arc in a semicircular shape, and an outer shaft side convex portion 14 c is provided on the side of the arc that is in contact with the inner shaft 13. An inner shaft side concave portion 13a is provided at a lower portion corresponding to the outer shaft side convex portion 14c. The gap between the distal end surface of the outer shaft side convex portion 14c and the inner shaft side concave portion 13a is approximately about 1 millimeter. Moreover, the front end surface of the outer shaft side convex portion 14 c and the inner shaft clamping surface 13 b that is a surface in contact with the outer shaft of the inner shaft 13 are located on the same straight line. Since the gap between the distal end surface of the outer shaft side convex portion 14c and the inner shaft side concave portion 13a is provided with about 1 millimeter, the edge of the container can be easily slid, and the paint holding device 100 can be attached to the container. When attaching, it becomes easy to insert the tip of the inner shaft 13 into the gap between the inner container and the outer container. In addition, the distal end surface of the outer shaft-side convex portion 14c and the inner shaft clamping surface 13b that is a surface in contact with the outer shaft of the inner shaft 13 are arranged on the same straight line. Since the container can be closely attached to the inner shaft 13 so that the container can be firmly sandwiched from both sides, the paint holding device 100 can be firmly fixed to the edge of the container.

  The outer shaft bending portion 14b provided above the outer shaft 14 gives elasticity to the outer shaft 14 and plays a role of making the outer shaft 14 better. When the outer shaft 14 and the inner shaft 13 are attached to the edge of the container, the outer shaft 14 opens outward with elasticity, so that the gap between the inner shaft 13 and the outer shaft 14 can be kept temporarily wide. It is easy to sandwich the edge of the container with the inner shaft 13. Since the hollow portion 15 that is a space formed by the upper portion of the outer shaft 14 and the upper portion of the inner shaft 13 has a space that can be accommodated by either a thick edge or a thin edge, the coating tool holding device 100 is It can be fitted into various edge-shaped containers.

  In addition, the outer shaft tip portion 14a, which is the tip of the outer shaft 14, is warped in the direction opposite to the inner shaft 13, and the gap between the outer shaft tip portion 14a and the tip of the inner shaft 13 is sufficiently large. Since the coating tool holding device 100 can be fitted to the edge of the container while the outer shaft 14a that is warped is pinched with a finger and pushed outward, the fitting work can be easily carried out.

When the coating tool holding device 100 is attached, when the tips of the inner shaft 13 and the outer shaft 14 are applied to the edge of the inner container and a force is applied from above, the tips of the inner shaft 13 and the outer shaft 14 are moved to the inner container. The inner shaft 13 and the outer shaft 14 pinch and hold the inner container firmly, rubbing smoothly along the side surface. When the gap between the inner shaft 13 and the outer shaft 14 is narrower than the edge of the container, the outer shaft tip 14a, which is the tip of the outer shaft 14, is pinched with a finger so as to push it wide. The paint holding device 100 is attached so that the inner container is firmly sandwiched by the outer shaft 14.

The arm unit 3 provided on the upper side of the main body unit 1 includes a right arm 31 and a left arm 32. The right arm 31 and the left arm 32 are connected by a spring structure or the like, and a brush handle is sandwiched between the right arm 31 and the left arm 32 so as to be elastically held. An inner container holding slit 16 is provided at the lower part of the arm portion 3.

The inner container can be prevented from being displaced and the inner container can be firmly fixed. An upper arm clamping part 11 and a lower arm clamping part 12 are provided on the upper part of the main body part 1, and the arm part 3 is rotated by the connecting shaft 2 in the gap between the upper arm clamping part 11 and the lower arm clamping part 12. It is attached as possible.

  As shown in FIG. 2A, the top view, the arm portion 3 is attached to the main body portion 1 by the connecting shaft 2, and the arms are attached symmetrically to form a right arm 31 and a left arm 32. . The space formed between the right arm 31 and the left arm 32 is a vertically long ellipse, and is large enough to hold the brush handle. The right arm 31 and the left arm 32 are formed into corrugated surfaces 31b and 32b that are formed in a wave shape that repeats a mountain and valley in the depth direction in FIG. When the brush handle is held between the right arm 31 and the left arm 32, the corrugated surfaces 31b and 32b contact the brush handle to play a role of preventing slippage.

  A flat surface is provided at the tip of the right arm 31 to form an arm tip 31a. A flat surface is also provided at the tip of the left arm 32 to form an arm tip 32a. Since the plane of the arm tip 31a and the plane of 32a form an obtuse angle, when the brush handle is pressed against the arm tips 31a and 32a, the arm tips 31a and 32a easily open to the left and right. It is possible to smoothly slide into the space formed by the arm 31 and the left arm 32.

  As shown in FIG. 2 (b), the arm end 31 c, which is the inside of the main body 1 and is opposite to the arm tip 31 a of the right arm 31 of the arm 3, and the arm end 32 c of the left arm 32. Is provided with an arm stop projection 32 having a triangular cross section. When the arm end 31c of the right arm 31 or the arm end 32c of the left arm 32 is opened by a predetermined angle or more, the arm stop projection 32 is brought into contact with and collided with. Therefore, the rotation widths of the right arm 31 and the left arm 32 can be suppressed within a predetermined angle. Since the arm stop protrusion 32 is provided, the rotation width of the right arm 31 and the left arm 32 is limited, and the right arm 31 and the left arm 32 are easily formed at the center position with respect to the central axis of the main body. Easy to insert a brush handle into the space.

The inner shaft 13 has an elongated flat plate shape.

  As shown in FIG. 4, when viewed from the rear, the inner shaft 13 is longer than the outer shaft 14. Moreover, the arm part 3 is provided above the main-body part 1, and has protruded right and left. The outer shaft 14 is provided behind the inner shaft 13. The thickness of the inner shaft 13 and the outer shaft 14 is about 1 to 3 millimeters.

  Next, the usage state of the paint implement holding apparatus 100 will be described with reference to FIGS.

5 (a) and 5 (b) are reference top views for explaining a method of using the paint implement holding device shown in FIG. FIG. 6 is a reference front view for explaining a method of using the paint implement holding apparatus shown in FIG. 7 and 8 are reference right side views for explaining a method of using the paint implement holding apparatus shown in FIG.

  The right arm 31 and the left arm 32 of the arm unit 3 of the paint holding device 100 can be opened and closed in the left and right directions. When using the paint holding device 100, the right arm 31 and the left arm 32 are opened to the left and right as shown in FIG. 5A, and the right arm 31 and the left arm are opened as shown in FIG. 5B. 32. The brush handle P is slid into the space formed by. Arm tip surfaces 31a and 32a are provided at the tips of the right arm 31 and the left arm 32, respectively, and are flat surfaces, and the arm tip surfaces 31a and 32a form an obtuse angle with each other. By simply pressing the handle P against the arm tip surfaces 31a and 32a, the right arm 31 and the left arm 32 open left and right, and the brush handle P can be slid.

Further, since the arm stop protrusion 32 is provided, the rotation width of the arm portion 3 is limited, and the right arm 31 and the left arm 32 are not greatly displaced from the center. Therefore, when the brush handle is sandwiched between the right arm 31 and the left arm 32, the brush handle can be easily inserted into the gap between the right arm 31 and the left arm 32 by pressing the brush handle with one hand.

  In the arm unit 3 of the paint holding device 100, the right arm 31 and the left arm 32 are connected by a winding spring, and the right arm 31 and the left arm 32 can be pushed and spread by hand.

As shown in FIG. 7, the coating tool holding device 100 inserts the inner shaft 13 into the gap between the bucket B and the cartridge (inner container) K, and sandwiches and fixes the bucket B between the inner shaft 13 and the outer shaft 14. As shown in FIG. 8, the attached paint holding device 100 holds the brush handle P and holds the brush in a position where the brush portion at the tip of the brush does not touch the paint in the cartridge (inner container) K. In addition, the brush can be held at a position where the brush portion of the brush is immersed in the paint so that the paint attached to the brush portion at the tip of the brush does not dry out and harden. During a short break, the lower part of the brush is held between the arms 3 to hold the brush in the upper position, and when the work is interrupted for a long time, the brush tip of the brush is kept soaked in the paint. The upper part of the brush is clamped by the arm 3 and the brush is held at the lower position.

  When the coating tool holding device 100 is attached to the edge of the bucket B, the edge of the cartridge (inner container) K is inserted into the inner container holding slit 16 between the arm portion 3 and the inner shaft 13. Since the coating tool holding device 100 can hold not only the bucket B but also the cartridge (inner container) K, there is also an effect of preventing the cartridge (inner container) K from being detached from the bucket B during the painting operation. When the paint in the cartridge (inner container) K is reduced and the weight is reduced, the cartridge (inner container) K may float from the bucket B or come off with a slight impact. By attaching the paint holding device 100 and fixing the bucket B and the cartridge (inner container) K at the same time, such inconvenience can be eliminated and the painting operation can be performed comfortably.

  Also, since the inner shaft 13 of the paint holding device 100 is inserted into the gap between the bucket B and the cartridge (inner container) K, the paint paint placed in the cartridge (inner container) K adheres to the inner shaft 13. Thus, the paint holding device 100 is not soiled. Therefore, it is possible to continue to use the paint holding device comfortably while being beautiful even if used repeatedly.

  In the first embodiment, the main body portion 1, the arm portion 3, and the connecting portion 2 may be made of plastic, synthetic resin, metal such as aluminum or stainless steel, etc., and each is made of the same material. It may be a combination of different materials.

  Therefore, according to the paint implement holding apparatus 100 of the first embodiment, the inner shaft 13 and the outer shaft 14 can be securely attached to the bucket B and the cartridge (inner container) K, and the brush portion can be formed by the arm portion 3. Can be pinched reliably. Therefore, even when the bucket B is subjected to a painting operation with the bucket B held in hand, the brush can be reliably supported by the paint holding device 100 so as not to contaminate the handle of the brush. It is possible to prevent the paint from dripping from the brush handle in the paint.

  In the first embodiment, the method of attaching the coating tool holding device 100 to the bucket B used by putting the cartridge (inner container) in the inside has been described. However, the coating tool holding device 100 puts the cartridge (inner container) in the inside. In addition to the bucket B used in the past, it can also be attached to a shark can which is used by putting a paint, or a roller bucket used when a paint is applied with a roller. Since the coating tool holding device 100 includes the hollow portion 15 that fits also to the thick edge, it can be adapted to containers having a wide thickness edge. If one painting tool holding device 100 is carried during the painting operation, the painting tool holding device 100 can be attached to a plurality of types of paint containers, and the painting operation can be performed efficiently.
