Abstract

The present invention relates to a method and a device for preventing a spray cloud from covering certain surfaces (31, 41) belonging to an object which is to be painted, whereby said surfaces are positioned in a different plane to those surfaces of the object which are to be painted and which surfaces can be reached by such spray cloud after passage through a gap. In the past, one has solved this problem by covering the surfaces (31, 41) with sheets, which were attached by means of tape. The invention solves this problem in a very simple manner by means of a body (1) which is attached in such a manner that it fills the whole gap whereby the spray cloud (8) is prevented from penetrating into the gap. Accordingly, the spray cloud is prevented from covering said surfaces (31, 41).

Description

Title:
A Method and Device for Masking.
Technical area:
This invention relates to a method for painting and a device for carrying out the method, in accordance with the preamble of the following claim 1. The invention is preferably intended to be used in connection with re- spraying of vehicles.
Prior art and problems:
When respraying for example cars it is necessary to mask certain parts before the paint is applied. Masking means that certain parts are covered in an appropriate manner, e.g. paper which is fastened by tape, so that the paint cloud, which is to be applied, cannot come into contact with these masked parts. As an example of such parts, one can mention the outwardly facing surfaces of the plate that interconnects the outer skin and the inner skin of a door or a so called B-post. These plate surfaces are located in connection with panel gaps which are created for example between a door and a B-post. When one re¬ paints, one accordingly masks these parts, e.g. covers them, so that no polishing is required after the paint¬ ing, in order to take away those paint particles which have found the way in through the gap and thereafter come into contact with these surfaces.
The known masking is made in such a manner that masking tape is used in order to fasten for example a piece of sheet-like paper, which has a form adopted to the geomet¬ ry of that part which is to be protected. Such masking is time-consuming and does not always to¬ tally prevent the paint cloud from reaching one of the surfaces.
A further problem in connection with this known technique is that the tape leads to the creation of an edge. This edge is very difficult to eliminate. Accordingly, it is possible to ascertain if a car has been repainted or not by means of said edge. Since repainted cars have a lower second-hand value than non-repainted cars, this is not desirable.
The solution and advantages:
The object of the invention is to achieve a method and a device for carrying out the method, which eliminates the mentioned disadvantages that are to be found in connec¬ tion with known methods and devices.
This object is achieved by means of a device in accordan- ce with the invention, whose characterizing features are specified in the following claim 1.
Brief description of the drawings:
The invention will now be described in more detail, as a way of example only, with reference to the annexed draw¬ ings, in which:
Fig. 1 shows a side-view of a car which has the device of the invention applied to it, Fig. 2 shows a section, a chosen part of a car in accordance with Fig. 1, Fig. 3 shows a device for storage of a device in accor¬ dance with the invention. Fig. 4 is a sectional view of a device according to claim 3,
Fig. 5 is an alternative to the storage means, and, Fig. 6, 7, 8, 9 show different alternative configu¬ rations of transversal sections of a device in accordance with the invention.
Fig. 10 shows the fitting of an alternative embodiment in a gap of a car door, when the door is open, and.
Fig. 11 shows a device in accordance with Fig. 10 when the door is closed.
In Fig. 1 there is shown a car, which before being re- sprayed, has been provided with a masking device 1 in accord-ance with the invention. The location of the sec¬ tion A-A in accordance with Fig. 1 and the transverse section which is shown in Fig. 2, should only be con¬ sidered as showing the principle. For some cars the con- figuration deviates from what is shown in the section in Fig. 2, a deviation which may require adaption of the de¬ vice in accordance with the invention, e.g. larger adhes¬ ive surface. The masking device 1, which preferably is made of a foam rubber, is applied in an outer transition area along the whole length of the gap, which is formed between the two adjacent parts 3,4, which are to be painted. In the figure, one of these parts is a door 3 and the other one that part 4 which surrounds the door 3. Also other areas, such as the boot and the bonnet, which comprise similar gaps, have also been provided with a masking device 1 in accordance with the above.
In Fig. 2 there is shown a section through a part of a car which is shown in Fig. 1. The masking device 1 is applied to that part 4 which delimits said gap. The attachment of the device 1 is preferably performed by means of an adhesive tape 2. The masking device 1 is com¬ pressible and, preferably, also resilient. Furthermore, the figure shows a part of a door 3 and a part of its interconnecting wall 31 which interconnects the inner skin 32 with the outer skin 30. The outwardly facing sur¬ face of said intermediate wall 31 is one of the parts which is intended to be protected from receiving paint particles during the respray. Another such surface is the one belonging to another intermediate wall 41, which in¬ terconnects the outer plate 40 and the inner plate 42 of the surrounding area.
When painting with the spray gun 7 the paint cloud 8 is thrown towards the facing surfaces. The masking device 1 in accordance with the invention, prevents the paint cloud 8 from penetrating into the gap to reach the out¬ wardly facing parts of the intermediate walls 31 and 41 respectively: Due to the compressibility of the masking device, it presses against the surfaces 5,6 of the open¬ ing of the gap so that sufficient pressure is achieved in order to hinder the paint cloud 8. If the masking device 1 is also resilient, a continuous, smooth transition 5,6 can be achieved between the repainted surface and the old surface, especially if the masking device has an appro¬ priate form. An appropriate form means that the surface of the masking device is somewhat curved in that area where it meets the surface of the plate 5,6. This curva¬ ture can be achieved partly by prefabricating the masking device with the curved outer surface or by providing an object (for example a door) , which moves the body so that the curvature of its outwardly facing surface is achieved, which in its turn creates said smooth transi¬ tion.
In Fig. 3 and 4 there is shown an appropriate manner of storing the invention. The masking device 1 is hereby wound on the compression, in order to be space-saving. By winding it in such a manner that the adhesive part 2 is located along a common line, the one surface contacts the other layer so that it is compressed and that the wound masking device is kept in its wound state 4. Fig. 4 shows in more detail how a sectioned device being wound-up in accordance with the invention looks. Fig. 5 shows an alternative way of storing the device. Here one stores the adhesive double-sided part 2 per se and the masking part 1 per se, preferably within one and the same container 9. When feeding it, both of these parts are arranged in such a manner that the double-sided adhesive part 2 is fed together with the masking device 1. The container 9 is arranged with some appropriate means for cutting the device.
Fig. 6, 7, 8 and 9 show four different alternative forms which indicate possibilities concerning the creation of different embodiments within the scope of the invention. The Fig. 6 shows the cylindrical embodiment which has been shown above. If one desires a larger contacting ad- hesive surface than this, it is appropriate to use an em¬ bodiment in accordance with Fig. 7 in which the size of the adhesive area has been enlarged.
In some instances it can be better with an embodiment which deflects when the door is shut. This embodiment accordingly implies that the above-mentioned curved form is created at the instance that the door, or a similar part, is closed. In Fig. 9 it is shown that a masking device with such a form can also have an adhesive surface of large size.
In Fig. 10 there is shown a preferred embodiment of the invention used together with the car, where the body 1 has a triangular form and the adhesive tape 2 is attached to the base surface thereof. The body 1 is attached to the side surface 41 of the B-post in such a manner that its outwardly exposed surface substantially in the same plane as the outer surface 40 which is to be painted. Thereafter, the door 3 is shut (Fig. 11) , whereby the preferably elastic compressible body 1 is deformed in such a manner that a continuous smooth transition is achieved between the body 1 and the two contacting adja- cent areas 5,6 of the door 3 and B-post respectively. It is appropriate to arrange the body with a bulb-like pro¬ truding part 11, which leads to large flexibility for the transition 6 between one surface 40, which is to be painted, and the other surface of the body 1, which is located adjacent to the adhesive part 2.
This embodiment has the advantage that one and the same body 1 can be used to seal mainly all different kinds of gaps with different dimensions, since the potential height of the seal is very large. Having a circular form, on trie other hand, may lead to problems in closing the door or to have the body 1 stay in the desired position.
With a device in accordance with the invention, very good results have been achieved when a longish body 4 was used, which transversal cut was rectangular. For sealing between doors of vehicles with four doors, the body had a preferred width of 35 mm and was 4 mm high. For other kinds of sealing around doors, two different sizes have been used, both having a height of 20 mm, one being 10 mm wide and the other 15 mm wide. The material was polyeter- foam-plas ic.
It is obvious for the skilled man that the invention is not limited by the above described, but can be varied within the scope of the following claims. For instance, foam-plastic has been mentioned above as a suitable mate¬ rial, but it is evident that all kinds of different mate- rials with similar properties may be used. Any kind of fibre-based body is an example of an alternative materi¬ al, such as paper fibres. In such a case, however, the paper fibres need to have such a structure that they can counter-resist the pressure which is presented by the paint cloud 8. Foam with a surface with adhesive qualities being pro¬ duced in situ, is also possible to use. A pressure con¬ tainer with an outlet from which said foam would be pro¬ duced, is accordingly an alternative embodiment.
