Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a support device for a sleeve joint of a painting roller.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A conventionally known coating roller has a sleeve joint rotatably provided between flanges of a U-shaped member. The U-shaped member is usually made of a bent metal wire and its end is The part is provided with a handle, and the coating roller is generally T-shaped.

[0003]

These rollers occupy a large space, especially when they are displayed and sold on a product display shelf. This is because these rollers are usually hung on a horizontal bar through an opening provided at an end of a handle in a product display shelf.

The present invention solves this problem, significantly reduces the occupied space at the time of exhibition and sale, and reduces the manufacturing cost and weight as compared with the conventional one, thereby providing a supporting device for a sleeve joint of a painting roller. The purpose is to provide.

[0005]

The support device for the sleeve joint of the painting roller according to the invention is formed entirely by injection molding of a plastic material, the handle of which is longitudinally divided and joinable. It is mainly characterized in that it is composed of one handle forming member, and these two handle forming members are connected to a member for supporting the sleeve joint.

[0006]

When displaying and selling such a supporting device, the sleeve joint is provided on the extension line along the longitudinal direction of the U-shaped member for supporting the respective sleeve joints of the two jointable constituent members of the handle. It can be positioned so as to be parallel to, which makes it possible to greatly save the occupied space in the product display rack.

When using such a roller, it is only necessary to bring the two handle components into close proximity and to join them by engaging them by known means.

[0008]

The features and advantages of the present invention will now be described by way of non-limiting examples illustrated in the accompanying drawings.

FIGS. 1, 2 and 3 show an example of a support device according to the invention for a sleeve joint (not shown) of a painting roller. This supporting device is formed by injection molding of polypropylene plastic material, and comprises a substantially cylindrical handle 1 composed of two semi-cylindrical handle members 2 and 3, and a gutter-shaped U-shaped member 4.
Is equipped with. The U-shaped member 4 has flanges 40 with sleeve joint fixing means at both ends.

The handle 1 is integrated by bringing two handle members 2 and 3 close to each other, and includes a base 10 having a rectangular cross section, and the base 10 also has a cavity having a rectangular cross section. Equipped with 11.

The two handle members 2, 3 of the handle 1 are joined to the U-shaped member 4 via two bridges 42, 43 on a first block 41 of rectangular cross section located in the center of the U-shaped member 4. ing. The bridges 42 and 43 are manufactured by molding, and are capable of rotating the two handle constituent members 2 and 3 up to 90 °. Therefore, the two handle components 2, 3
Is movable from a position parallel to the longitudinal direction of the U-shaped member 4 to a position vertical to the U-shaped member 4, and the handle 1 is integrated by joining the two handle constituent members 2 and 3 by a known engaging means (not shown). You can do it.

A second block 44, which also has a rectangular cross section, projects from the center of the first block 41. The outer surface dimension of the second block 44 is the same as the inner surface dimension of the cavity 11 of the handle 1 so that the base 10 of the handle 1 fits into the second block 44 when the two handle constituent members 2 and 3 approach each other. Which enhances the bonding and support of the handle 1 on the U-shaped member 4.

The handle 1 is in a disassembled state after its manufacture, and the two handle members 2, 3 are arranged parallel to the longitudinal direction of the U-shaped member 4, and the cutable bridge shown in FIG.
With the support device of the present invention joined to the U-shaped member 4 by 45, the support device of the present invention can be hung on a product display shelf and exhibited and sold so as to minimize the occupied space. The two handle members 2, 3 of the handle 1 are provided with suspension openings 20, 30 at their ends.

The U-shaped member 4 includes the U-shaped member 4 and the handle 1.
It has two parallel pawl members 46, 47 which project perpendicularly to both the axes of the. These two parallel pawl members 46,4
7 is similarly manufactured by molding. The distance between the two parallel pawl members 46, 47 is such that it can be engaged with a paint container of standard thickness, and the U-shaped member 4 can be rolled through these two parallel pawl members 46, 47. It is arranged at the edge of the paint container so as to be horizontal with respect to it, whereby the excess paint adhering to the roller can be collected.

In the second embodiment of the present invention shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the handle 1 has two handle members 2 ',
It is composed of 3 '. These two handle components 2 ',
The 3'also joins by engaging each other.

The two handle members 2'and 3'are rotatably joined to the U-shaped member 4 by bridges 42 and 43 as in the first embodiment.

One of the handle members 2'has a tubular portion 21 at its end, and a connecting member (not shown) is connected to the handle portion 2'to perform coating work at a remote place such as ceiling painting. Can be facilitated.

The two handle members 2'and 3'have flat ribs 22 and 32 near the bridges 42 and 43, respectively. These ribs 22 and 32 are two handle components when the handle 1 is integrated.
Slot 4 provided in the longitudinal direction of the block 41 when approaching 2 ', 3'
It is designed to engage within 8.

These ribs 22 and 32 are thus formed in the slot 48.
The joint between the U-shaped member 4 and the handle 1 can be strengthened in the roller use direction, which is the direction perpendicular to the ribs 22 and 32, in cooperation with.

A plurality of flat ribs 22, 32 are provided in parallel with each of the two handle members 2 ', 3' so that they can be engaged with a plurality of slots 48 provided in the block 41 in parallel. Good.

[0021]

The supporting device of the present invention has a small occupied space at the time of exhibition and sale and has other advantages.

One is that since the U-shaped member 4 has a gutter shape, the paint does not scatter on the handle 1 and therefore does not adhere to the user's hand.

Further, since the supporting device of the present invention is completely formed of a plastic material, unlike the conventional coating roller, there is no risk of electric shock to the user even when used in the vicinity of the current source. That is also an advantage.
