Description

  The present invention relates to a support for a paint brush with respect to a work container that contains paint.

  In general, painting brushes used in painting work are immersed in the paint in the work container that contains the paint, a cover for preventing drying is attached to the work container, and temporarily stored until the next day's work resumes. ing. However, when the brush for painting is immersed in the paint in this way, the brush portion of the brush for painting is brought into contact with the bottom or side of the work container and deformed, which may hinder the painting work on the next day.

  Accordingly, various supports have been proposed for supporting the coating brush on the work container so that the brush part does not come into contact with the bottom or side of the work container. For example, a hook member that engages in the middle of the handle of the paint brush is provided, and the hook portion of the hook member is hooked on the upper end of the side wall of the work container to support the paint brush (for example, Patent Document 1), a removable brush holder is provided on the side wall of the work container, a magnet is provided on the brush holder, and the metal portion of the paint brush is held by the magnet to support the paint brush. (For example, refer to Patent Document 2.) A magnet is attached to the handle of the painting brush, and the coating brush is held on the inner surface of the work container by magnetic adsorption (see, for example, Patent Document 3). Has been.

  However, in the inventions described in Patent Documents 1 and 2, when the height of the coating brush can hardly be adjusted and the brush portion is not immersed in the paint, it is necessary to add the paint to the work container. Further, the invention described in Patent Document 1 cannot be used when the handle is made of a single plate, and the invention described in Patent Document 2 cannot be applied to a painting brush that does not have a metal portion. .

  In the invention described in Patent Document 3, the height can be adjusted, but it cannot be used when the work container is made of synthetic resin, and since the magnet is attached to the brush for painting, it is used to the current use. There is a problem that it cannot be easily applied to a brush for painting.

  An object of the present invention is to provide a support for a paint brush that can reliably support general-purpose paint brushes of various dimensions and that can be easily adjusted in height.

The support for a paint brush according to the present invention includes a clip part that removably holds a handle of the paint brush, and a support that is removably attached to an edge of a work container that contains paint, and supports the clip part. A brush for painting brush that supports the brush portion of the painting brush immersed in the paint in the work container, the clip portion having a bifurcated arm portion, A folding part extending from the distal end part to the base part side of the arm part and extending to the base part side of the arm part, sandwiching the handle of the coating brush, and forming a fitting recess inside the base end part of the arm part, When the fitting convex part which can be unevenly fitted into the fitting concave part is formed at the tip part of the clamping part and the thickness of the handle to be clamped by the clamping part is less than a certain thickness, the tip of the clamping part The fitting convex part of the part is separated from the fitting concave part of the base end part of the arm part, and the thickness exceeds That the, the fitting convex portion is intended to be fitted into the mating recess.

  In this paint brush support tool, the pattern of the paint brush is held between the holding parts to support the paint brush. However, when the pattern thickness is thin, the holding part is mainly used. When the handle is elastically deformed and the thickness of the handle is thick, the holding portion and the arm are elastically deformed, and the handle is held between the holding portions with two stages of spring force according to the thickness of the handle of the paint brush. Thus, the brush for painting can be supported. For this reason, it is possible to stably support general-purpose coating brushes of various dimensions having different handle thicknesses. Moreover, by moving the handle vertically between the clamping parts, it goes without saying that the paint brush whose pattern thickness does not change depending on the height position, but also the paint brush whose pattern thickness varies depending on the height position. The height can be easily adjusted and held at a desired height. For this reason, when the brush part is immersed in the paint of the work container and the paint brush is temporarily stored, the brush is supported at such a height that the brush part does not contact the bottom or side wall of the work container. The deformation of the brush portion can be prevented while preventing the paint adhering to the brush portion from solidifying.

Further , when the thickness of the handle clamped by the clamping unit is less than a certain thickness, the leading end of the clamping unit is separated from the arm unit, and when the thickness exceeds a certain thickness, the leading end of the clamping unit becomes the arm unit. since configured to abut, in the case a thin thickness of the paint brush handle is mainly clamping portion is elastically deformed, when the thickness of the thicker pattern, it sandwiching portion and the arm portion Due to elastic deformation, the handle can be held between the holding portions by a two-stage spring force corresponding to the thickness of the handle of the paint brush. For this reason, the brush for painting provided with the handle | stamp of various thickness currently sold can be supported with sufficient stability.

Further, the fitting recess is formed inside the base end portion of the arm portion, since the formation of the holding portions of the tip the recess-projection fitting can fit protrusion into the fitting recess portion, the arm portion When the fitting convex part of the tip part of the clamping part is unevenly fitted into the fitting concave part of the base end part to form a closed section between the arm part and the clamping part, and when a thick handle is clamped The handle can be clamped with a strong clamping force by reliably elastically deforming the clamping part and the arm part.

Here, it is also a preferred embodiment that the clamping portion is configured to be thinner than the arm portion. The clamping part and the arm part can be set to the same thickness, but the clamping part is thinner than the arm part so that the amount of elastic deformation of the clamping part can be increased and a thin handle can be clamped without difficulty. It is preferable to configure.

  It is also a preferred embodiment to form anti-slip protrusions on the opposing surfaces of the both clamping parts. If comprised in this way, the sliding between a clamping part and a handle | steering-wheel can be prevented and the coating brush can be hold | maintained stably. In order to secure the moldability of the clip portion, it is preferable to form a protrusion that extends in the height direction of the holding portion in a state where the support is attached to the work container.

  It is also a preferred embodiment to form both sandwiched portions in a curved shape so that intermediate portions of the both sandwiched portions approach each other. If comprised in this way, it will become possible to increase the amount of elastic deformation of a clamping part, and to clamp a thin pattern reliably without difficulty.

  It is also a preferred embodiment to form guide portions that bend at the proximal end side portions of the both sandwiching portions so that the distance between them becomes wider toward the proximal end side. With this configuration, the handle can be inserted between the holding portions while pushing the handle between the guide portions of the both holding portions and pushing the proximal end portions of both the holding portions and the distal end portions of both arm portions to each other. This makes it possible to improve the handle insertion operability.

  It is also a preferred embodiment that the clip portion and the support leg are configured as separate members. Although the clip part and the support leg may be configured as an integrally molded product, the mold structure for molding becomes complicated and the manufacturing cost increases, and the clip part is configured of a material that can be elastically deformed. Although it is necessary, the support leg material does not require elastic deformation so much, so that both the clip part and the support leg function can be sufficiently secured while reducing the manufacturing cost. It is preferable.

According to the first aspect of the present invention, the handle of the painting brush is sandwiched between the sandwiching portions to support the coating brush. However, when the handle is thin, the sandwiching portion is mainly used. When the handle is elastically deformed and the handle thickness is thick, the holding portion and the arm portion are elastically deformed, and the handle is placed between the holding portions with two stages of spring force corresponding to the thickness of the handle of the paint brush. The brush for painting can be supported by holding. For this reason, it is possible to stably support general-purpose coating brushes of various dimensions having different handle thicknesses. Moreover, by moving the handle vertically between the clamping parts, it goes without saying that the paint brush whose pattern thickness does not change depending on the height position, but also the paint brush whose pattern thickness varies depending on the height position. The height can be easily adjusted and held at a desired height. For this reason, when the brush part is immersed in the paint of the work container and the paint brush is temporarily stored, the brush is supported at such a height that the brush part does not contact the bottom or side wall of the work container. The deformation of the brush portion can be prevented while preventing the paint adhering to the brush portion from solidifying. Further, when the thickness of the handle clamped by the clamping unit is less than a certain thickness, the leading end of the clamping unit is separated from the arm unit, and when the thickness exceeds a certain thickness, the leading end of the clamping unit becomes the arm unit. When the pattern of the brush for painting is thin, the clamping part is mainly elastically deformed, and when the pattern is thick, the clamping part and the arm part are Due to elastic deformation, the handle can be held between the holding portions by a two-stage spring force corresponding to the thickness of the handle of the paint brush. For this reason, the brush for painting provided with the handle | stamp of various thickness currently sold can be supported with sufficient stability. Furthermore, a fitting recess is formed on the inner side of the base end portion of the arm portion, and a fitting convex portion that can be engaged with the fitting recess is formed at the distal end portion of the clamping portion. When the fitting convex part of the tip part of the clamping part is unevenly fitted into the fitting concave part of the base end part to form a closed section between the arm part and the clamping part, and when a thick handle is clamped The handle can be clamped with a strong clamping force by reliably elastically deforming the clamping part and the arm part.

And a support leg 20 that supports the clip portion 11. When the coating brush 1 after use is temporarily stored using this support tool 10, the support tool 10 is fixed to the side wall portion 6 a of the work container 6, and the brush part 3 is applied to the paint in the work container 6. 5 so that the brush portion 3 is supported on the support 10 so that the brush portion 3 does not come into contact with the bottom surface or side wall of the work container 6, and then a bag (not shown) so as to cover the opening of the work container 6. To prevent the brush part 3 of the painting brush 1 from being deformed and prevent the brush part 3 and the paint 5 from drying, so that the next painting work can be performed smoothly. become.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the working container 6 includes a hard outer container 7 made of synthetic resin and the like, and a disposable inner container 8 made of a flexible film that is detachable from the outer container 7. However, the inner container 8 is preferable because the inner container 8 can be replaced with a new color at the time of color change. However, the support tool 10 of the present invention can be attached to the work container 6 that does not include the inner container 8.

  The clip portion 11 and the support leg 20 are configured as separate members, and the clip portion 11 is attached to the upper end portion of the support leg 20. Although the clip part 11 and the support leg 20 can be formed as an integrally molded product, the mold structure for molding becomes complicated and the manufacturing cost increases, and the clip part 11 is a material that can be elastically deformed. The support leg 20 does not necessarily need to be made of an elastically deformable material, so that the functions of the clip portion 11 and the support leg 20 can be sufficiently secured while reducing the manufacturing cost. In addition, it is preferable that both be formed of separate members.

  As the material of the clip portion 11, a synthetic resin material such as polycarbonate having excellent performance as an elastic member or an elastomer can be suitably employed, and the material of the support leg 20 is a polyolefin-based material such as polyethylene or polypropylene that can be obtained at low cost. The synthetic resin material can be suitably used.

  The support leg 20 is composed of a plate member that is elongated in the vertical direction and is gently curved. A fixing portion 20a is provided in the lower half of the support leg 20, and a holding hook 22 having an L-shaped cross section is provided on the front side of the fixing portion 20a. The support leg 20 is detachably attached to the work container 6 by sandwiching the side wall part 6a of the work container 6 between the fixing part 20a and the holding hook 22. As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, a support leg 20 </ b> A integrally formed with a reinforcing portion 22 a that extends upward from the front end portion of the holding hook 22 and is connected to the lower locking hook 21 is used. The reinforcing portion 22a can be configured to increase the strength of the support leg 20A.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 to 6, the clip portion 11 includes a rear wall portion 11 a, a pair of left and right arm portions 13 extending forward from the left and right side portions of the rear wall portion 11 a, and both ends from the distal end portion of the arm portion 13. A pair of clamping portions 14 that are folded back between the arm portions 13 and extend toward the base side of the arm portion 13 are provided.

  The attachment structure of the clip portion 11 with respect to the support leg 20 will be described. A pair of upper and lower locking hooks 21 branched into two branches are provided on the upper end of the support leg 20 so as to protrude rearward. A hook portion 21a protruding in a direction approaching each other is formed in a face-to-face manner at the front end portion. A locking projection 11b is formed on the rear wall portion 11a of the clip portion 11 so as to protrude rearward, and a fitting hole 12 into which the upper and lower hook portions 21a can be fitted is formed on the upper and lower portions of the locking projection 11b. Is formed. A guide surface 21b is formed in an inclined shape on the upper surface of the lower hook portion 21a, and the clip portion 11 is guided in a state where the hook portion 21a of the upper locking hook 21 is fitted in the upper fitting hole 12. The hook portion 21a of the lower locking hook 21 is fitted into the lower fitting hole 12 via the surface 21b, so that it is attached to the support leg 20 so that it cannot be easily removed.

  In order to hold the handle 2 by the clip portion 11, a pressure contact portion 14a that protrudes in a curved shape in a direction approaching each other is formed in the middle portion in the front-rear direction of the left and right clamping portions 14, and is opposed to the left and right pressure contact portions 14a. An anti-slip ridge 15 extending in the vertical direction is formed on the surface so as to protrude. A movement restricting portion 14b extending in the vertical direction is formed in a protruding manner on both front and rear sides of the pressure contact portion 14a, and the movement of the handle 2 sandwiched between the pressure contact portions 14a is restricted by the movement restriction portion 14b. It is configured.

  A fitting recess 13 a is formed on the inner side of the base end portion of the arm portion 13, and a fitting protrusion 14 c that can be engaged with the fitting recess 13 a is formed at the distal end portion of the holding portion 14. As shown in FIG. 4, when the handle 2 of the coating brush 1 is not sandwiched between the sandwiching portions 14, a gap G is formed between the fitting convex portion 14 c and the inner surface of the arm portion 13. When the handle 2 of the coating brush 1 sandwiched between the portions 14 is thin with a thickness less than a certain thickness, the sandwiching portion 14 is elastically deformed, and as shown in FIG. The handle 2 is clamped by the urging force mainly due to the elastic deformation of the clamping part 14 approaching the inner surface of the arm part 13. On the other hand, when the handle 2 of the coating brush 1 to be sandwiched is thicker than a certain thickness, the fitting convex portion 14c is pressed against the inner surface of the arm portion 13 as shown in FIG. The handle 2 is strongly clamped by the urging force due to the elastic deformation of the clamping part 14 and the elastic deformation of the arm part 13 by fitting into the joint recess 13a. The minimum plate thickness of the handle 2 when the fitting convex portion 14c of the clamping portion 14 is fitted to the fitting concave portion 13a of the arm portion 13 can be set to 5 mm to 8 mm, for example. The handle 2 having a thickness of 3 mm to 20 mm can be held. However, when the fitting convex portion 14c and the fitting concave portion 13a are omitted, and the thickness of the handle 2 to be sandwiched is less than a certain thickness, the distal end portion of the sandwiching portion 14 is separated from the arm portion 13 and has a certain thickness. If it becomes above, it is also possible to comprise so that the front-end | tip part of the clamping part 14 may press-contact with the inner surface of the arm part 13. FIG.

  The clamping part 14 is configured to be thinner than the arm part 13. The sandwiching portion 14 and the arm portion 13 can be configured to have the same thickness, but by configuring the sandwiching portion 14 to be thin, the elastic deformation amount of the sandwiching portion 14 when sandwiching the thin handle 2 is set large. Thus, the thin handle 2 can be securely held, which is preferable. Guide portions 14d that bend so that the distance from each other increases toward the base end side are formed on the base end side portions (front end side portions) of both the sandwiching portions 14. When inserting the handle 2 of the brush 1 for painting between the guides, the guide 2 is guided to the central part between the holding portions 14 by the guide portion 14d, so that the handle 2 can be easily inserted. .

  When temporarily storing the used paint brush 1 using the support 10, as shown in FIG. 1, first, the side wall portion 6 a of the work container 6 is fixed between the fixing portion 20 a of the support leg 20 and the holding hook 22. And the support 10 is fixed to the side wall 6a of the work container 6.

  Next, the handle 2 of the painting brush 1 is inserted between the holding portion 14 from the front side of the clip portion 11, the press contact portion 14 a is pressed against the side surface of the handle 2, and the handle 2 is held on the clip portion 11. . At this time, when the plate thickness of the handle 2 is thin, as shown in FIG. 6A, only the clamping portion 14 is elastically deformed and the handle 2 is held. 6 (b), the fitting convex portion 14c of the clamping portion 14 is concavo-convexly fitted to the fitting concave portion 13a of the arm portion 13, so that the clamping portion 14 and the arm portion 13 are connected. Due to the elastic deformation, the handle 2 is strongly held, and even the handle 2 having a different thickness can be reliably held.

  Next, the brush part 3 is immersed in the paint 5 in the work container 6, and the handle 2 of the coating brush 1 is placed against the clip part 11 so that the brush part 3 does not come into contact with the bottom surface or side wall of the work container 6. After sliding up and down to adjust the height of the support 10, the coating brush 1 is temporarily stored by covering an unillustrated bag so as to cover the opening of the work container 6. When storing a plurality of coating brushes 1, the same number of support tools 10 as the number of coating brushes 1 are attached to the work container 6, and the coating brush 1 is attached to each support tool 10. In the same manner as described above, the coating brush 1 is temporarily stored by covering a bag (not shown) in an airtight manner so as to cover the opening of the work container 6.

  Thus, in this support tool 10, the handle 2 of the coating brush 1 is sandwiched between the both clamping portions 14 to support the coating brush 1. However, when the handle 2 is thin, When the sandwiching portion 14 is elastically deformed and the handle 2 is thick, the sandwiching portion 14 and the arm portion 13 are elastically deformed, and two steps corresponding to the thickness of the handle 2 of the coating brush 1 are performed. The coating brush 1 can be supported by holding the handle 2 between the holding portions 14 with the spring force of. For this reason, it is possible to stably support the general-purpose painting brush 1 having various dimensions with different thicknesses of the handle 2. Moreover, it is needless to say that the thickness of the handle 2 does not change depending on the height position by moving the handle 2 in the vertical direction between the clamping portions 14, and the thickness of the handle 2 depends on the height position. Even different coating brushes 1 can be easily adjusted to a desired height and held. For this reason, when the brush part 3 is immersed in the paint 5 of the work container 6 and the coating brush 1 is temporarily stored, the brush part 3 is at a height position so as not to contact the bottom or side wall of the work container 6. The coating brush 1 can be supported and stored, and deformation of the brush portion 3 can be prevented while preventing the paint 5 attached to the brush portion 3 from solidifying. Since the urging force of the clip portion 11 is switched in two stages, the thin handle 2 and the thick handle 2 can be reliably held.

  The embodiment of the present invention has been described above. However, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and it goes without saying that the configuration can be changed without departing from the gist of the present invention.
