Abstract

(57) [Abstract] [Problem] Acrylic paints used in some of the Western painting fields begin to solidify in a short time when exposed to air, so paints from original commercial containers such as tubes and bottles can be used as palettes. It is not easy to take out a proper amount and use it properly, and it requires considerable skill. Also, once solidified, the paint becomes unusable and must be discarded. Therefore, it is an important task to reduce the labor and time required for taking out the paint so as to concentrate more on the painting production and to make the use of the paint more efficient. SOLUTION: The airtight food container and the ice tray that can be used in a home refrigerator are applied with the form and function to achieve high airtightness.
It is thought that most of the above problems can be solved by creating a container composed of a lid, a body and a lower box, positioning it as an intermediate container between the original container such as a tube and the pallet, and using it at hand.

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention was mainly designed for acrylic paints, but due to its ease of use, it can also be used in work fields where oil-based paints, watercolors and other fast-drying semi-liquid materials that have been used for a long time are used. May be used. Regarding painting, acrylic paint lovers are increasing among professional painters, Sunday painters and painters. It has become very popular among illustrators and designers. According to one expert, "acrylic paint is the last great paint in the 20th century and the most active paint in the 21st century." Since the amount of paint used varies from person to person, it is necessary to determine the size of the container of the present invention by targeting the largest number of layers.

[0002]

[Technical field to which the device belongs]

 The present invention is a manufacturing technology for applying the principle of existing airtight food containers and ice trays that can be used in household refrigerators to use the paint case body, double lid and lower box as one container. It is a technology to improve the efficiency of painting production by utilizing the multi-functionality of the container, such as simple double lid, effect of storing paint and multi-color paint storage.

[0003]

[Prior art and problems]

 Usually, Western-style paint containers are large and small tubes and bottles, and they are directly taken out from a palette for mixing and adjusting paints (hereinafter referred to as "pallet"). Most tubes and bottles have screw caps, and it is time-consuming to take out the required amount from conventional containers at all times. In particular, acrylic paints, which start to solidify in a short time when exposed to air, cannot be used once solidified, so it is necessary to frequently remove the paint of the required color and amount, and the removal frequency increases. As a tool for dealing with this inconvenience, a box that moisturizes a paper pallet is commercially available, but a container that can store multicolored paint in a method that does not solidify in one container and can be taken out easily is It has not been devised yet, and it is up to the user to devise it.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The present invention is an airtight / moisture-retaining container, and uses a body part 1, an upper lid 2, an inner lid 3 and a lower box 5 to solve the above problems. The time of painting work is roughly divided into mid-long term interruption (meal, sleeping, etc.) during production, and the inner lid 3 that is easy to open and close is used during production, and during the mid-long term interruption, the upper lid 2 and the inner lid 3 By using both of them, the airtightness and the moisturizing property are enhanced. This allowed us to suspend work with peace of mind and take measures to facilitate resuming work after the suspension.

[0005]

[Embodiment mode]

 Since the present invention has taken the above-mentioned means, it is important to properly use it after understanding the structure for maintaining airtightness and moisture retention. The following is a supplementary explanation of the structure and the method of use.

As the material, synthetic resin seems to be suitable. The body 1 is made of a strong material, the upper lid 2, the inner lid 3 and the lower box 5 are flexible enough to facilitate the opening and closing and the function of enhancing the airtightness, and the inner lid 3 is closed when closed. , The presence and color of the paint below it, and the lower box 5 needs to be transparent enough to determine the amount of water in it.

Since the inner lid 3 is frequently opened and closed, the handle 14 is attached to the center of the upper portion. In addition, in order to improve airtightness, an edge is provided on the entire peripheral portion of the inner lid 3, and the edge is closely attached to the inner surface of the upper portion 10 of the body 1, the upper step 11 of the inner surface of the body and the lower step 19 of the inner surface of the body. . At the same time, the lower surface of the inner lid also comes into close contact with the upper surface of the protruding portion 8 standing on the partition surface 7 of each paint container hole, and the airtightness of each paint container hole 6 is substantially maintained. In order to perform the functions of these inner lids more accurately, it is sufficient to push not only the handle 14 but also the top surface 13 of the edge downward just after closing, in order to perform it properly.

[0008] Normally, each color of one color is put in each paint hole 6, but it is possible that the paint may stick to an unexpected container part or mix colors due to stickiness of the paint when putting in and taking out. In order to prevent these as much as possible, the partition surface 7 of the paint insertion hole has a width, and the projection portion 8 above the partition surface 7 of the paint insertion hole also has the same function. The bottom of the paint hole has a round pan bottom shape for easy cleaning.

The upper lid 2 is put on the upper portion 10 of the body portion 1 and pressed from above, so as to be in close contact with the upper surface of the uppermost portion 10 of the body portion 1, the upper surface 13 of the edge of the inner lid, and the outer surface adhesive portion 21 of the body portion and the upper lid. This maximizes air tightness. Also. In order to make it easier to open the upper lid 2, the width of the central bulge portion 4 of the upper lid is narrowed to facilitate gripping, and an outer protruding portion 16 of the body portion is provided on the entire outer surface of the body portion 1.

The lower box 5 is an important part that has an aesthetic appearance as a paint, the stability of the container itself, and a paint preservation function due to its moisturizing property. In order to facilitate the attachment and detachment of the lower box, the protrusions 17 at both ends of the lower box bottom surface are provided.

In order to maintain the moisturizing property, a small amount (shallow) of water is constantly added to the bottom of the lower box, and a thin body ventilation hole that penetrates to the inside of the lower box is provided at one position on the partition surface 7 of each paint insertion hole. 20 is opened, and the structure is such that the air with moderate humidity inside the lower box containing water flows through each paint hole 6. Replace water appropriately to keep it clean. The lower box also needs to be airtight, so the connection part with the body 1 will be a fitting type that allows close contact. In order to maintain the close contact between the body part 1 and the lower box and to prevent it from coming off, after fitting completely, the outer surface adhesive part 9 of the body part and the lower box should have about 2 to 4 places (of the rectangular container). It is only necessary to attach cellophane tape or an adhesive sticker to both sides or the center of each of the four sides. If the airtightness is desired to be further perfected, cellophane tape may be applied to the entire surface (around the outside of the container) so as to cover the body and the outer surface adhesive portion 9 of the lower box.

Regarding the usage method, only the main points will be described. In order to reduce the frequency of opening and closing the inner lid 3 during the production work, paint should be carefully considered for each color and amount used for the time being. In order to reduce dirt when putting in and out, keep the maximum eye depth, approximately 80% of the depth of the paint hole 6. After putting semi-liquid paint in the paint hole 6, if the body part 1 is tilted too much in any direction even if the inner lid 3 is closed, the upper part of the paint hole 6 becomes dirty or the paint mixes. There is a possibility of concern, so caution is required. If the paint adheres to the protruding part 8 at the upper parting surface of the paint insertion hole, the vicinity thereof or the lower surface of the inner lid 3, wipe it off with a tissue or the like.

【Example】

 We purchased commercially available synthetic resin food sealed containers and synthetic resin ice trays (made of a harder and stronger material than food sealed containers) that can be used in household refrigerators. The ice making plate was cut according to the shape of the inner surface of the food closed container, and a body roughly corresponding to the body part 1 of the present invention was prepared and fitted into the food closed container. Also, the thickness at hand was 0. A 5 mm celluloid plate is stamped according to the shape of the inner surface of the food closed container, and a simple one corresponding to the inner lid 3 is created to achieve the function of the inner lid 3 although the airtightness is insufficient. I let it go. The celluloid plate was attached with a convenient handle with cellophane tape to open and close. In addition, a tissue paper with plenty of water was packed in the gap between the bottom of the closed food container and the ice tray. When I tried to make a painting with acrylic paint by actually using the prototype that was completed as described above, the result was more than I had expected, so I made more ingenious and improved drawings. As a result, they became more confident that they would be generally accepted as products. About two months have passed since the acrylic paint was put into the prototype for the first time until the registration completion date (there was a busy schedule and I was not painting), but the paint was almost as it was when I put it in. No solidification of the surface is seen in the state. In addition, a small amount of this container can be directly attached to a paintbrush, but it was convenient to use a pallet knife to take it out as needed.

[0014]

[Effect of device]

 As described above, the container including the body part 1, the upper lid 2, the inner lid 3 and the lower box 5 can be used by appropriately using the upper lid 2 and the inner lid 3 according to the aspect of the painting work. As a result, it is possible to prevent the solidification of the paint in the main container such as a tube originally transferred from the container. In addition, there is a container that holds the required color and amount of paint for the time being, and it is easy to put in and take out. As a result, the labor can be saved and the paint can be used efficiently, and the work can be interrupted without anxiety. Furthermore, in the field of painting, it may be used not only in acrylic paintings but also in other types of paintings such as traditional oil paintings and watercolors. In addition, if the use is generalized and the recognition of simplicity is widespread, it may be used in fields other than paintings that have similar work styles.
