Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] This invention concerns pallets.

When removing the cap from a paint tube and dispensing the paint onto the palette, the user must place the palette in one hand somewhere and then turn the cap with both hands to remove it, which is cumbersome and inconvenient. .

In order to eliminate this inconvenience, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a cylindrical cap remover 4 with a locking pawl 3 on the inner circumferential surface is installed near the finger hook hole 2 of the pallet 1. There was something set up.

Then, by inserting and fixing the cap into the cap remover 4 and turning the tube with one hand, the cap can be removed from the tube while holding the pallet 1 in the hand.

However, the inner surface of this cap remover 4 has a circular cross section,
Since the inner diameter is fixed, the outer diameter of the cap varies depending on the manufacturer or the degree of use of the color, the size of the paint tube and the size of the cap also vary.
If it was too large or too small, or if it had a different shape, it could not be used.

The purpose of this invention is to eliminate the above-mentioned defects and provide a pallet from which any cap can be easily removed regardless of the difference in outer diameter and shape of the cap.

An example embodying this idea is shown in Figures 3 to 5 below.
This will be explained based on the diagram.

11 shows the entire synthetic resin type pallet, and the finger hole 1
A cap removing body 13 is formed protruding from the bottom 14 of the pallet 11 on one side of the pallet 2.

15 is a long hole transparently provided in the cap removal main body 13,
As shown in FIG. 4, the cross-sectional shape of the inner circumferential surface 16 is formed into a semicircular shape such that the proximal inner circumferential portion 16a has a large diameter and the distal inner circumferential portion 16b has a small diameter, and the two are connected. In addition, as shown in FIG. 5, it is formed in a tapered shape so that the diameter becomes smaller toward the bottom portion 14.

Reference numeral 17 denotes a large number of locking pawls formed by cutting out the inner circumferential surface.

Therefore, the inner circumferential surface 16 of the long hole 15 transparently provided in the cap removal body 13 is formed so that the proximal inner circumferential portion 16a has a large diameter and the distal inner circumferential portion 16b has a small diameter, and the inner circumferential surface 16 is Stopper 1
7, when removing the cap C1 with a large outer diameter as shown in FIG.
When removing the cap C2, it can be easily removed by fixing the cap C2 to the inner peripheral portion 16b of the distal end and turning the tube 18.

In addition, in the case of a cap C3 having an outer diameter of an intermediate size, the cap C3 is held between opposing surfaces of the inner circumferential surface 16 between the proximal inner circumferential portion 16a and the distal inner circumferential portion 16b. It is fixed and can be easily removed.

Furthermore, even if the cap has various shapes such as a square shape or a hexagonal shape, it can be engaged and fixed to any part of the inner circumferential surface 16 of the elongated hole 15 and can be easily removed.

Note that this invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments, but can also be implemented in the following manner.

■ Changing the pallet 11 from a synthetic resin material to a wooden or metal material.

It is possible to provide multiple O-cap removal bodies 13, or to remove the pallet 1.
1 shall be installed at an appropriate location.

O As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the inner peripheral surface 16 of the first child 15
To form an inner circumferential surface 16 having a small diameter at both sides and a large diameter at the center.

■ The inner circumferential surface 16 of the elongated hole 15 may be formed into a gourd shape as shown in FIG. 8, or an L-shape as shown in FIG. Shape that is not circular in plane.

Therefore, of course, an isosceles triangular shape is also possible.

- Make the cap removal body 13 into a cylindrical shape with a bottom as shown in FIG.

To increase or decrease the pitch of the locking pawls 17 formed on the inner surface 16.

Also, the locking claws 17 should be provided at appropriate intervals.

As described in detail above, this invention has a planar shape other than a circle on the inner surface of the pallet at an appropriate location, and a cap remover with a locking pawl formed on the inner surface is provided to remove the cap. This is an excellent idea in practical use as a pallet, as it exhibits the effect of allowing any cap to be easily removed regardless of the difference in outer diameter and shape.
