Description

Multicolor-SpraydoseMulticolor spray
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum getrennten Aufbewahren bzw. Lagern sowie zum getrennten und/oder gemeinsamen Applizieren von einzelnen Komponenten, wie viskosen und/oder pulverförmigen Medien gemäss dem Oberbegriff nach Anspruch 1.The present invention relates to a device for separate storage or storage and for the separate and / or joint application of individual components, such as viscous and / or powdery media, according to the preamble of claim 1.
Ausgangslagestarting position
Die Spraydose hat sich seit Jahrzehnten in ihrem Erscheinungsbild kaum verändert, die Ansprüche der Konsumenten haben sich jedoch stark gewandelt.The appearance of the spray can has hardly changed in decades, but the demands of consumers have changed significantly.
Da die Farben aus der Dose nur schwierig mischbar sind ist der Benutzer in seiner Kreativität eingeschränkt. Gefragt ist eine Möglichkeit, Farben aus der Spraydose einfach zu mischen und Farbtöne aufeinander abzustimmen.Since the colors from the can are difficult to mix, the creativity of the user is limited. What is needed is an option to simply mix colors from the spray can and to match colors.
Problemstellung und ProduktideeProblem and product idea
Eine Spraydose, die jede beliebige Farbe liefert! Sie ist mit mehreren, wie beispielsweise mit mindestens fünf Farbmodulen (austauschbar/auffüllbar) ausgestattet (rot, gelb, blau, schwarz und weiss) . Der Benutzer stellt den gewünschten Farbton selbst ein und ist eine Farbkartusche leer, kann er diese einfach austauschen (oder nachfüllen) . Beherrscht man die entsprechende Farbmischtechnik, können beispielsweise auch 2-Komponenten-Lacke in bzw. aus demselben Gebinde versprüht werden wodurch die Dose auch für den Profi-Anwender interessant wird. Mit preisgünstigen Farbpigmenten können gegebenenfalls auch sechs oder mehr Farbmodule angekoppelt werden um eine attraktive Farbpalette zu erreichen.A spray can that delivers any color! It is equipped with several, for example with at least five color modules (replaceable / refillable) (red, yellow, blue, black and white). The user sets the desired shade himself and if a color cartridge is empty, he can simply replace it (or refill it). If you have mastered the appropriate color mixing technique, two-component paints can also be sprayed in or from the same container, which makes the can also interesting for professional users. With inexpensive color pigments, six or more may also be possible Color modules are coupled to achieve an attractive range of colors.
Die Vision besteht darin, ein Produkt mit den Möglichkeiten einer Profi-Farbspritzanlage zu schaffen, die aber benutzerfreundlicher ist (kein Umschütten von Farbe) und einen geringeren Reinigungsaufwand aufweist (vergleichbar mit der heutigen Spraydose) .The vision is to create a product with the possibilities of a professional paint spraying system, but which is more user-friendly (no spilling paint) and requires less cleaning (comparable to today's spray can).
Als primärer Käufermarkt werden Heimwerker betrachtet. Ein Grossteil der Heimwerker ist wohl schon zufrieden, wenn er rasch einen Farbton, der ungefähr seinen Vorstellungen entspricht, auftragen kann. Eine Ausnahme stellen z.B. Lackschäden am Auto dar. Die universelle Einsetzbarkeit wird dazu führen, dass die Spraydose öfter verwendet wird.Do-it-yourselfers are considered the primary buyer's market. The majority of DIY enthusiasts are already satisfied if they can quickly apply a shade that roughly corresponds to their ideas. An exception is e.g. Paint damage to the car. The universal applicability will lead to the fact that the spray can is used more often.
Stand der Technik Bekannt sind Systeme in der oben beschriebenen Art für nur eine Komponente (Spraydosen) . Es gibt auch Systeme für 2 Komponenten (Lack und Härter) . Bei diesen Systemen wird aber zuerst die gesamte Menge beider Komponenten vermischt um sie dann anschliessend ganz konventionell zu versprühen. Das ist insbesondere nachteilig, weil die 2 vermischten Systeme in der Regel unmittelbar nach dem Vermischen miteinander chemisch zu reagieren beginnen. Das schränkt die weitere Haltbarkeit und Versprühbarkeit der Farbe auf Minuten bis maximal einige Stunden ein. Die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung besteht deshalb darin, ein System, wie beispielsweise eine Sprüh- oder Spraydose, vorzuschlagen, mittels welchem pulverförmige und/oder viskose Medien in unterschiedlicher Zusammensetzung bzw. zur Erzeugung unterschiedlicher Effekte appliziert bzw. ausgegeben werden können.PRIOR ART Systems of the type described above are known for only one component (spray cans). There are also systems for 2 components (paint and hardener). With these systems, however, the entire amount of both components is first mixed and then sprayed conventionally. This is particularly disadvantageous because the 2 mixed systems generally begin to react chemically with one another immediately after the mixing. This limits the further durability and sprayability of the paint from minutes to a maximum of a few hours. The object of the present invention is therefore to propose a system, such as a spray or spray can, by means of which powdery and / or viscous media in different Composition or to generate different effects can be applied or output.
Erfindungsgemäss vorgeschlagen wird eine Vorrichtung gemäss dem Wortlaut nach Anspruch 1. Vorgeschlagen wird, dass die Vorrichtung geeignet ist zum getrennten Aufbewahren bzw. Lagern von einzelnen Komponenten, wie viskosen und/oder pulverförmigen Medien, und dass mindestens ein Ausgabeorgan für die Medien vorgesehen ist für einzelnes, gleichzeitig getrenntes und/oder gemischtes Ausgeben eines oder mehrerer der Komponenten bzw. Medien.According to the invention, a device according to the wording according to claim 1 is proposed. It is proposed that the device is suitable for the separate storage or storage of individual components, such as viscous and / or powdery media, and that at least one output member for the media is provided for individual items , simultaneously separate and / or mixed output of one or more of the components or media.

Die Erfindung wird beispielsweise und unter Bezug auf die beigefügten Figuren näher erläutert. Dabei zeigen:The invention is explained in more detail for example and with reference to the accompanying figures. Show:
Fig. 1 eine erfindungsgemässe Vorrichtung, aufweisend getrennte, druckfeste Komponentenbehälter, welche über eine Dosiereinheit gemeinsam versprühbar sind,1 shows a device according to the invention, having separate, pressure-resistant component containers which can be sprayed together via a metering unit,

Fig. 6 eine weitere AusführungsVariante einer6 shows a further embodiment variant of a
Dosiereinheit, geeignet für die erfindungsgemässe Vorrichtung, Fig. 7 eine zu Figur 6 analoge Dosiereinheit, und Fig. 8 eine Kombination der Dosiereinheiten von Figur 6 und 7 für das kontinuierliche Mischen, beispielsweise des ganzen Farbspektrums.Dosing unit, suitable for the device according to the invention, FIG. 7 shows a dosing unit analogous to FIG. 6, and FIG. 8 shows a combination of the dosing units from FIGS. 6 and 7 for continuous mixing, for example of the entire color spectrum.
In den Ausführungsvarianten gemäss den Figuren 1 und 2 werden die einzelnen Komponenten in getrennten Behältnissen 3, 5 und 7 oder allenfalls in einem Mehrkammerbehälter so aufbewahrt, dass sie sich nicht vorzeitig vermischen.In the embodiment variants according to FIGS. 1 and 2, the individual components are kept in separate containers 3, 5 and 7 or at most in a multi-chamber container in such a way that they do not mix prematurely.
Gemäss Figur 1 sind getrennte, druckfeste Komponentenbehälter 3, 5 und 7 vorgesehen, die alle Treibgas (T) enthalten, was im Prinzip analog ist einer Aneinanderreihung von konventionellen Spraydosen. Die einzelnen Komponenten werden erst in der Dosiereinheit 11 (D) gemischt und über eine gemeinsame Sprüheinheit 15 (S) versprüht .According to FIG. 1, separate, pressure-resistant component containers 3, 5 and 7 are provided which all contain propellant gas (T), which in principle is analogous to a series of conventional spray cans. The individual components are only in the dosing unit 11 (D) mixed and sprayed over a common spray unit 15 (S).
Gemäss Figur 2 sind wiederum getrennte, druckfeste Komponentenbehälter 3, 5 und 7 vorgesehen, die von einem zentralen Treibgasbehälter 9 gespiesen werden.According to FIG. 2, separate, pressure-resistant component containers 3, 5 and 7 are again provided, which are fed by a central propellant gas container 9.
Der Druck zum Versprühen der Komponenten kann entweder durch ein Treibgas in den einzelnen Behältern aufgebaut werden (Figur 1) oder durch einen externen, separaten Treibgasbehälter, der entweder . eine direkte Verbindung in jeden einzelnen Behälter hat, wie in Figur 2 schematisch dargestellt, oder von aussen einen Druck auf die dann beispielsweise flexiblen, ausgebildeten Behälter ausübt, die ihrerseits in einem druckfesten Behälter integriert angeordnet sind. In den Figuren 3 und 4 ist je eine Ausführungsvariante des erfindungsgemässen Systems dargestellt, aufweisend einen druckfesten Behälter 10, in welchem beispielsweise flexibel ausgebildete Behälter 3, 5 und 7, enthaltend die einzelnen Komponenten, angeordnet sind. Der druckfeste Behälter 10 kann neben den einzelnen Komponentenbehälter auch direkt das Treibgas beinhalten, wie in Figur 3 dargestellt, oder aber der druckfeste Behälter wird von einem externen Treibgasbehälter 9 gespiesen.The pressure for spraying the components can either be built up by a propellant gas in the individual containers (FIG. 1) or by an external, separate propellant gas container which either. has a direct connection to each individual container, as shown schematically in FIG. 2, or exerts pressure from the outside on the then, for example, flexible, constructed containers, which in turn are arranged integrated in a pressure-resistant container. FIGS. 3 and 4 each show an embodiment variant of the system according to the invention, comprising a pressure-resistant container 10, in which, for example, flexibly designed containers 3, 5 and 7, containing the individual components, are arranged. In addition to the individual component containers, the pressure-resistant container 10 can also directly contain the propellant gas, as shown in FIG. 3, or the pressure-resistant container is fed by an external propellant gas container 9.
Das Druckbeaufschlagen der Komponentenbehälter von ein und derselben Druckquelle hat den Vorteil, dass so gewährleistet ist, dass sich immer alle Komponentenbehälter auf demselben Druckniveau befinden, was eine hohe Dosier- und Mischkonstanz bewirkt. Das Treibgas kann entweder immer im entsprechenden Behälter unter Druck vorliegen oder der Druck wird mittels einem Pumpsystem aufgebaut, das entweder manuell oder maschinell betrieben wird (Kompressor, Luftpumpe etc.). Als ein wichtiges Element der Erfindung ist die Dosier- und Mischeinheit zu bezeichnen. Jede Komponente kann über ein einfaches Reguliersystem geführt werden und so kann das gewünschte Mischverhältnis eingestellt werden, wie schematisch in Figur 5 dargestellt. Eine insbesondere zur Herstellung von Farbmischungen benutzerfreundliche Methode besteht darin, dass mit einem zentralen gekoppelten Reguliersystem das Mischverhältnis eingestellt werden kann. Für den Benutzer wird so die Bedienung deutlich vereinfacht. Entsprechend sind schematisch in den Figuren 6 und 7 je eine mögliche Ausführungsvariante eines zentralen Regulierungssystems dargestellt.Pressurizing the component containers from one and the same pressure source has the advantage that it is ensured that all component containers are always at the same pressure level, which results in a high dosing and mixing constancy. The propellant gas can either always be under pressure in the corresponding container or the pressure is built up using a pump system that is operated either manually or mechanically (compressor, air pump, etc.). An important element of the invention is the metering and mixing unit. Each component can be guided via a simple regulating system and the desired mixing ratio can be set as shown schematically in FIG. 5. One method which is user-friendly, in particular for producing color mixtures, is that the mixing ratio can be set using a central, coupled regulating system. Operation is significantly simplified for the user. Correspondingly, a possible embodiment variant of a central regulation system is shown schematically in FIGS. 6 and 7.
Figur 6 zeigt eine Lösung für eine zentrale Dosiereinheit 11, die es erlaubt drei Farben untereinander zu mischen. Dargestellt ist ein Schnitt der erfindungsgemässen Dosiereinrichtung. Die einzelnen Komponenten werden in flexiblen Leitungen 4, 6 und 8 geführt. Diese werden mit einem Stellring 21 so gequetscht, dass immer nur eine Leitung ganz (Position links) oder zwei Leitungen (Position rechts) teilweise offen sind, so dass sich beliebige Farbmischungen herstellen lassen.FIG. 6 shows a solution for a central metering unit 11, which allows three colors to be mixed with one another. A section of the metering device according to the invention is shown. The individual components are routed in flexible lines 4, 6 and 8. These are squeezed with an adjusting ring 21 in such a way that only one line is completely open (position on the left) or two lines (position on the right) are partially open, so that any desired color mixtures can be produced.
Figur 7 zeigt ein zu Figur 6 analoges System für 2- Komponenten, wie beispielsweise für die beiden "Farben" schwarz und weiss. Wiederum werden mittels eines Stellrings 21 die beiden Leitungen 14 und 16 der Dosiereinheit 11' unterschiedlich gequetscht, wodurch es möglich ist, beide Leitungen zu verschliessen, je die eine ganz zu öffnen und die andere verschlossen zu halten, oder aber gar eine Mischung der beiden Komponenten zu ermöglichen.Figure 7 shows a system analogous to Figure 6 for 2-component, such as for the two "colors" black and white. Again, using an adjusting ring 21 the two lines 14 and 16 of the metering unit 11 'are squeezed differently, which makes it possible to close both lines, each to open one completely and to keep the other closed, or even to allow a mixture of the two components.
Figur 8 schliesslich zeigt eine Kombination des 3- Komponentenreglers 11 aus Figur 6 mit dem 2- Komponentenregler 11' aus Figur 7, wodurch eine kontinuierliche Farbmischung des ganzen Farbspektrums, beispielsweise unter Verwendung der drei Farben rot, gelb und blau ermöglicht wird, mit der zusätzlichen Möglichkeit der Helligkeitsregulation dank dem Zumischen von schwarz (S) und weiss (W) .FIG. 8 finally shows a combination of the 3-component controller 11 from FIG. 6 with the 2-component controller 11 'from FIG. 7, which enables a continuous color mixing of the entire color spectrum, for example using the three colors red, yellow and blue, with the additional one Possibility of brightness regulation thanks to the addition of black (S) and white (W).
Bei den unter Bezug auf die Figuren 1 bis 8 dargestellten erfindungsgemässen Vorrichtungen bzw. Systeme handelt es sich selbstverständlich nur um mögliche Beispiele, welche auf x-beliebige Art und Weise abgeändert, modifiziert oder durch weitere Komponenten ergänzt werden können. So besteht beispielsweise die Möglichkeit, dass die einzelnen Komponenten getrennt, dosiert und versprüht werden, wobei die Mischung erst mit dem Versprühen erfolgt.The devices or systems according to the invention illustrated with reference to FIGS. 1 to 8 are of course only possible examples which can be modified, modified or supplemented by further components in any desired manner. For example, there is the possibility that the individual components are separated, metered and sprayed, the mixing only taking place with the spraying.
