Description
- This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/662,660 titled “AEROSOL SANDBLAST,” filed Mar. 17, 2005, which is herein incorporated by reference in its entirety.
- 1. Field of Invention
- Embodiments of the present invention relate generally to the delivery of a pressurized gas or liquid aggregate, for use with a self-contained container, that can remove paint, stains and the like from various surfaces. More particularly, embodiments of the present invention relate to an aerosol aggregate mixture that can be sprayed to abrasively remove paint or stains from wood or metal without destroying any fine details.
- 2. Description of Related Art
- Methods and products used to remove paint or stains are generally known in the art and used to prepare a surface for refurbishment or repainting. For example, paint or stain-removing solvents may be applied manually to various surfaces to remove paint or stains. Such solvents can be applied to wood to remove an old coat of paint so that a new layer may be applied uniformly or to remove unwanted stains, such as graffiti, from walls. Such solvents may also be used to remove rust or rust stains from corroded metal in order to repair an object. Similarly, other like solvents may be used to clean other objects such as car engines.
- The traditional processes, however, often encounter inconsistent removal of the paint or stains. For example, in the case of a finely detailed wood or metal surface or object, it is very difficult to remove the paint or rust stains from the grooves and recesses. This is a common problem in cleaning antique objects. Likewise, in handling smaller objects, it is complicated to uniformly apply the solvents to small crevices to remove the paint or stains. This is also problematic because the application of an excessive amount often damages the object or surface being cleaned, while the application of an insufficient amount yields insufficient contact with the paint or stain, giving poor removal results.
- Another traditional method avoids the above-mentioned complications by dipping the small or detailed objects directly into large batches of chemical solution to strip off the paint or stains. In this way, the chemicals may contact all surfaces of the object, including any small grooves and recesses, to uniformly strip the paint or stains. However, this method presents different problems in that the chemicals commonly used are highly toxic and may emit noxious fumes. This method allows dangerous fumes to be released indiscriminately into the atmosphere in often excessive amounts. Consequently, necessary safety precautions associated with these procedures render the method more costly and complicated.
- Therefore, there exists a long-standing need to provide a safe and effective product that can be applied in an efficient and simple manner to remove old paint or stains from any wood or metal surface consistently, including those surfaces with fine details.
- In accordance with an embodiment of the invention, a self-contained aerosol container has been developed for use in association with sandblasting, a method of stripping off paint and stains from a surface. The hand-held container can deliver an aerosol application of a pressurized gas or liquid containing abrasive particulates to uniformly remove paint or stains from any wood or metal surface, including those with fine details. The particulates may include glass beads, pumice, sand, sand paper or the like. The aerosol container and the sprayed mixture provide an efficient, safe, and less costly way than the traditional methods used to remove paint or stains from a surface.
- In one embodiment, the mixture may contain one or an aggregate of glass beads, pumice, sand, sand paper or the like to enhance the abrasiveness of the sandblasting. By exposing the surface or object to the aerosol spray, the spray may then be directed uniformly to all the smaller groves and recesses that would otherwise be difficult to reach manually. Furthermore, the aggregates are small and fine with sharp edges, and thus are able to access the grooves and recesses in wooden or metal surfaces to remove the paint or stains without destroying any details.
- The sandblasting container according to an embodiment of the invention may contain a propellant, such as compressed air or liquid gas, to further facilitate the force of expulsion and blast velocity with which the aerosol spray is released. The propellant may also enhance the area performance of the blast (i e., the area of paint or stain removed).
- In another embodiment of the invention, the mixture held in the container may be one of water or solvent-based paint removers. For example, a water-based solvent may be a citrus derivative, while a solvent-based solvent may be xylene.
- Alternatively, the mixture held in the container may be composed of a combination of aggregates suspended in a solvent. A combination of a solvent and aggregates may make stripping paint and stains even more efficient. The mixture may contain any combination of aggregates and any number of solvents or cleaners. In an embodiment of the invention, the aggregate is blasted along with one or more paint-removing solvents or cleaner such as engine cleaner. By using a combination of paint removers admixed with one or more aggregates, the impact of the blast is enhanced. The combination softens the paint or stains, helping to make the removal process simpler and faster.
- In yet another embodiment, the container may further include a thicksotropic thickener to suspend the aggregate in the mixture. The thicksotropic is added to thicken the liquid component in which the aggregate is suspended. This may change the concentration and impact of the aerosol spray and also ensure that the aggregates are uniformly dispersed when released.
- Depending on the type of surface to be sprayed, and the material to be stripped off or removed from that surface, the user may tailor the aerosol sandblast by using specific aggregates or combining different mixtures of aggregates with liquid components. Each aggregate, or combination of aggregate with liquid components, will yield different capabilities that may be used accordingly with specific surfaces to be stripped and cleaned.
- A detailed description of embodiments of the invention will be made with reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein like numerals designate corresponding parts in the figures.

- In
FIG. 1 , a self-containedaerosol container 1 for use in association with sandblasting is illustrated. The hand-heldcontainer 1 includes anactuator 2 that triggers the release of anaerosol spray 3. Thecontainer 1 delivers an aerosol application of pressurizedliquid 4 to remove old paint 5 from awooden surface 6. In the alternative, the aerosol spray that is delivered may be a pressurized gas. Also in the alternative, the aerosol spray may be used to remove old stains from a metal surface.FIG. 1 demonstrates how thecontainer 1 delivers anaerosol spray 3 that evenly contacts and distributes on the paint 5 on thewooden surface 6. Theaerosol spray 3 is generated from thereservoir 7 of thecontainer 1. By pushing down upon theactuator 2, thevalve assembly 8 is opened and the generated pressure releases the contents of thereservoir 7 in anaerosol spray 3, as with other aerosol spray cans known in the art. In an alternative embodiment, the container may include a propellant, such as compressed air or liquid gas, to further facilitate the force of expulsion and blast velocity released. The propellant may also enhance the area performance of the blast (i.e., the area of paint or stains removed). - The contents of the reservoir may include one or an aggregate of the following: water-based paint removers, solvent-based paint removers, sand, sand paper, pumice, glass beads, or the like.
FIG. 2 shows an enlarged illustration of anaggregate 9 of abrasive materials that can be included in the container to be delivered in an aerosol spray. Theaggregate 9 includes a variety ofsand 10, pumice 11, andglass beads 12. The sharp, fine edges provided by each of the particulates in theaggregate 9 facilitates the stripping and removing of paint or stains from different surfaces. Because the particulates are of a fine size, but with effectively abrasive edges, the aerosol application can remove paint or stains from a surface without damaging detailing. Furthermore, because the aerosol spray can reach and contact the entire surface, including any recesses or grooves, the removal of paint or stains is done evenly. - In
FIG. 3 , a block diagram of a procedure to remove paint or stains from wood or metal surfaces is shown. Other contemplated uses include cleaning oil and/or grime from engines of land or marine vehicle or stripping graffiti off walls. When the user pushes down on theactuator 102 of thecontainer 101, thevalve assembly 108 opens and allows pressure to generate anaerosol spray 103 from thereservoir 107. The aggregate 109 is released in theaerosol spray 103 to contact the desiredsurface 106. As theaerosol spray 103 is continuously released, the abrasiveness of theparticulates 113 in the aggregate 109 start to remove theold paint 105. In one embodiment of the invention, thereservoir 107 may contain aggregate 109 mixed withpaint remover 114. This combination enhances the removal of thepaint 105 from theunderlying surface 106. In the alternative, the aerosol spray may be used to remove old stains from a metal surface. - Without being limited, several other embodiments of the aerosol container including different reservoir contents, and the corresponding container parts, are described below.
