Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a brush storage tool, and particularly to a brush storage tool suitable for storing brushes used in brush painting.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, brush painting has been widely used as a coating method because of its simplicity. A brush used in brush painting generally consists of a handle for the operator to hold and bristles for impregnating the paint.

Therefore, after finishing the brush painting, it is necessary to remove the paint adhering to the brush (particularly its bristles) by washing with thinner. That is, if this cleaning is not performed, the remaining paint will harden, impairing the function of the brush.

However, the paint cannot be sufficiently removed by thinner cleaning for a short time, and thorough cleaning for a long time is time-consuming. Therefore, a method is used in which the paint is dissolved into the thinner over a long period of time without much effort by immersing the brush in thinner while the brush is being stored.

Conventionally, a brush storage device as shown in FIG. 5 has been used to carry out such a method. FIG. 5 is a schematic vertical cross-sectional view showing the state of use of a conventional brush storage tool. In FIG. 5, 22 is a container body, and 24 is a lid that can seal the upper opening of the container body. Thinner 26 is stored inside the container body 22. Reference numeral 28 denotes a brush, and the bristles 28b and the lower part of the handle 28a are dipped in thinner, and the brush is placed against the inner wall of the container body 22.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

However, in conventional brush storage tools, as shown in FIG. 5, the brushes are stored in an upright position within the main body of the container, so the weight of the brushes is always on the bristles. It turns out. Thus, after being stored for a long time, the bristles become deformed and bent, resulting in so-called curls.

When a brush with such curls is used again, its painting workability deteriorates, and in extreme cases, it may no longer function as a brush.

[Means for solving problems]

According to the present invention, in order to solve the problems of the prior art as described above, at least one pair of end receiving means for a rod-shaped body for hanging a brush is provided on the inner wall of a sealable container having a solvent reservoir in the lower part thereof. A brush storage device is provided, characterized in that both ends of the rod-shaped body are received by each pair of receiving means.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, specific embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a transparent perspective view showing a first embodiment of the device of the present invention in use.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 2 denotes a container body, which has a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape and has an opening at the top. 4 is a lid that can seal the opening, and is of course removable. The lower part of the interior of the container body 2 serves as a solvent (thinner) reservoir, in which thinner 6 is stored.

The material for the container body 2 and the lid 4 is preferably steel or stainless steel, but the material is not particularly limited thereto, and any material can be used as long as it has resistance to thinner. Furthermore, the thinner 6 may be a ketone-based, ester-based, ether-alcohol-based, aromatic-based, aliphatic-based, alcohol-based organic solvent, etc. alone or in combination, or a thinner that is painted with a brush stored in the storage tool. True solvents for paints can be used.

V-shaped receiving means 8a, 8b, 8c are fixedly arranged in the vertical direction on one of the two opposing inner walls of the container body 2, and the receiving means 8a, 8b are fixed on the other inner wall. , 8c, V-shaped receiving means 10a, 10b, 10c are fixedly arranged in the same manner in the vertical direction. These receiving means are made of steel or stainless steel, for example, and are firmly fixed to the container body 2 by riveting or the like.

The receiving means 8a and 10a form a pair, the receiving means 8b and 10b form a pair, and the receiving means 8c and 10 form a pair.
It is the opposite of c. In FIG. 1, a rod-shaped body 1 made of steel or the like is placed between a pair of receiving means 8b and 10b.
6 is being passed. That is, both ends of the rod-shaped body are placed and received on the lowermost ends of the receiving means 8b, 10b. The rod-like body 16 is inserted through a hanging hole in the handle 18a of the brush 18, so that the brush 18 is suspended. The bristles 18b of the brush 18 are immersed in the thinner 6, but are not in contact with the bottom surface of the container body 2.

FIGS. 2a to 2c are diagrams for explaining how to use the tool of this embodiment.

First, as shown in FIG. 2a, the rod-shaped body 16 is lifted upward and positioned outside the container body 2. Then, the brush 18 after painting is positioned corresponding to the rod-shaped body 16. Of course, the lid must be removed at this time.

Next, as shown in FIG. 2b, the rod-shaped body 16 is passed through the hanging hole in the handle 18b of the brush 18. Similarly, a desired number of brushes are suspended from the rod-shaped body 16.

Next, as shown in FIG. 2c, the rod-shaped body 16
is lowered into the container body 2, and both ends of the rod-shaped body are received by the receiving means 8b, 10b. still,
By storing the thinner 6 to an appropriate height in the container body 2, the bristles 18b and the lower part of the handle 18a of the brush 18 can be immersed in the thinner 6, and the brush bristles 18b can be immersed in the container body 2. It is possible to prevent it from coming into contact with the bottom surface of the

Finally, the upper opening of the container body 2 is of course sealed with a lid, and the container is stored in this state.

To take out the brush after storage, the above procedure may be reversed.

Incidentally, in the method shown in FIG. 2, an example is shown in which both ends of the rod-shaped body 16 are removed from the receiving means and the brush 18 is inserted, but only one end is removed from the receiving means and the rod-shaped body 16 is inserted diagonally. It is also possible to insert the brush 18 from the upper end of the rod-shaped body in this state.

In FIG. 1, the rod-shaped body 16 is received by the receiving means 8b, 10b at an intermediate height, but in this embodiment, the rod-shaped body can be received by the receiving means at other heights as necessary. Of course, it can be supported by other means. That is, the receiving means to be used is appropriately selected depending on the liquid level height of the thinner 6 and the length of the brush 18. Then, by appropriately setting the thinner liquid level and usage receiving means according to the type of brush to be stored, the brush bristles can be stored in a state where they are not in contact with the bottom of the container body and are suspended in the thinner. can do.

FIG. 3 is a transparent perspective view showing a second embodiment of the device of the present invention. Note that illustration of the lid body is omitted in this figure.

This embodiment differs from the first embodiment only in the arrangement of the receiving means. That is, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, three receiving means 8a are provided at different positions in the horizontal direction on one inner wall surface of the container body 2.
8b and 8c are provided. These receiving means are located at different heights. On the inner wall surface of the container body 2 opposite to the inner wall surface on the side of the receiving means 8a, 8b, 8c, receiving means 10a, 10b, 10c forming a pair with each receiving means are similarly provided at corresponding positions. There is.

Figure 4 is a third diagram showing the state of use in this embodiment.
FIG.

As shown in FIG. 4, in this example,
All the receiving means receive the rod-shaped bodies 16, and each rod-shaped body can be used to hang and store brushes 18 of different lengths at the same time.

In the above embodiment, a V-shaped receiving means is used, but the receiving means in the present invention is not limited to such a shape, and can stably receive the end of the rod-shaped body. You can use it if it is.

Furthermore, in the above embodiments, a case is illustrated in which a hole for hanging is formed in the brush, but
It will be clear that the invention is equally applicable to the storage of brushes with hooks or other means for hanging.

[Effect of idea]

According to the present invention as described above, it is possible to remove paint remaining on the brush when the brush is stored,
Moreover, the bristles of the brush are not deformed at this time.
