Description

1 2475990

  The present invention relates to a device for

  cleaning for roller tools, such as rollers

  lambskins or synthetic fibers, for the re-

  rational coverage of surfaces by the rapid distribution of glue or dispersion paint, or oil colors, or

lacquered paint.

  It is known, for the rational recovery of surfaces by a quick republication of glue or dispersion paints, oil colors or lacquered paints on a background, roller tools made in the form of rolls covered with lambskin or a synthetic fiber skin with a handle. Besides known rolls of paint, we know

  angle rollers, tube rollers, and rollers

  specially designed for painting heating radiators

  ge. The cleaning of such soiled roller tools by

  paintings or colors are often linked to difficulties.

  On the one hand, when it comes to staining by colors soluble in water, we need a very large quantity

  of water. Pools available in households for cleaning

  age are often so small that it is not always

  possible to avoid splashes of paint or

  their. In addition, spinning the rolls is not always possible in rooms or rooms. If, on the other hand, the roller tools are soiled with paints or colors that only come off in turpentine or

  in other suitable solvents, recipes

  particular points for receiving the solvent or agent

  cleaning. In this case, we can not avoid, when cleaning

  age of roller tools, that solvent splashes occur on the floor, leaving stains yes do not always detach cleanly. As, moreover, the tools to

  rolls are of different sizes, it is necessary to

  corresponding size cleaning heads are

ponibles.

  The present invention therefore aims to provide a device with which it becomes possible to clean and wash roller tools of different sizes and stained by paints or colors, in an easy manner and and in a short time, using reduced amounts of water or solvent while ensuring an imuortant effect of

  washing and cleaning rollers.

  In order to achieve the above aim, this invention

  It is proposed to provide a cleaning device for soiled rollers of the type defined above which, according to the invention, is constituted by a housing provided with a lid enclosing the latter, comprising a gripping device for rollers to be cleaned arranged either vertically or

  horizontally, inside the casing and connected to a

  to operate from the outside of the cabinet.

  The box having a section in the form of a square, of

  tangle or any other geometric shape, comprises, on its bottom, a support member mounted to rotate about its vertical axis and biased by a helical spring, and a holding member for said roller disposed in front of the support member and rotatably mounted about its vertical axis

  on the inside of the lid, the axis of the

  through the cover and connected to the crank.

  By means of a device so conceived, the perfect and easy cleaning of tools with% rolls soiled by paints or colors, rollers, such as rollers with lambskin or with synthetic fibers, becomes possible without being obliged to use high amounts of water or other suitable solvent. Because the cleaning of the rolls is done in a closed container, splashing of paint or the like, which otherwise is likely to occur during cleaning, is avoided. Because it is not necessary to consume large amounts of water to achieve a significant cleaning effect, the device according to the present invention helps to save water consumption. However, when it comes to roller tools with paint or color stains that can only be removed by using special solvents, it also results in economical solvent consumption. In addition, the fact that the solvent

  soiled and remaining cleaning may be stored in containers

  containers specifically adapted to be arranged or discarded, thus preventing so soiled solvents from entering public sewers. In this way, the device made according to the present invention helps to avoid environmental pollution. In addition, the working time is saved significantly by the use of the cleaning device; because the cleaning of roller tools according to these

  The methods known until now require a working time

  elevated. The subsequent wringing of the roller tools is not necessary. These can, inside the device, be released from water or solvent, going almost to the point of drying.

  Other advantageous modes of execution fall under

  appended claims, of which there is in particular a

  1Operation method or more baffles semicircular section having leading edges directed towards the longitudinal axis of the gripping device, are arranged around the longitudinal axis thereof, which allows an intensive cleaning of the rolls soiled by the paints or colors due to the fact that the liquid particles thrown towards the inside of the wall

  of the stacker because of the rotation of the roll disposed in

  ci, are returned in such a way by the baffles that they collide, again, on the surface of the roll, so well

  this measure allows intensive cleaning of the rolling tools

  water in the shortest possible time.

  The present invention will be described below by way of nonlimiting exemplary embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings, of which: FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of a cleaning device made according to the present invention and intended for receive rolls that are part of roller tools, this

  roll stained by paints or colors being kept in

  with baffles arranged inside.

  The cleaning device produced in accordance with the present invention and intended for roller tools soiled by paints or colors is constituted by a parallelepiped or cylindrical beaker 10 having a cross-section.

  square shape, rectangle shape or any other geometric shape.

  The casing 10 is enclosed by means of a cover 11. This cover

  11. can be attached to the upper part of one of the side walls 13 of the box 10 by means of hinges. he

  There is also the possibility of providing a perimeter

  on the lid 11 and to size this rim in such a way that the lid 11 capping the peripheral edge

  side walls 13 of the housing 10 is maintained by an adjustment: ---

  in a hurry on that box. The housing 10 has a bottom 12.

  The interior of the housing 10 bears the reference 15, and its surface

Inside the reference 14.

  Inside the housing 10, there is provided a device

  20 for gripping rolls 100 contaminated with paint.

  If colors or colors are to be cleaned, this gripping device is disposed in such a manner inside the casing 10,

  that the roller 100 to be cleaned introduces there is horizontal-

  vertically inside the housing 10 (see

Figures 1 and 2).

  According to the embodiment shown in Figure 3, the gripping device 20 is constituted by a lower support member 21 and a holding member 26 upper. The support member 21 consists of a support pin 22 mounted on a support beam 25 shaped on the inner face of the bottom 12, comprising a support plate 23, on which the roller 100 'to be cleaned is supported. engaged which is, at the same time, centered by means of the support pin 22 in a vertical position. The journal support 22 is made in such a way that it can

  to engage in the central drilling of the 100 roll.

  support 22 with its support plate 23 is supported on the support bracket 25 on a helical spring 24, so that

  this results in a possibility of displacement of the trunnion

  port 22 with its support plate 23 in the direction of an arrow X. In addition, the journal support 22 is mounted to rotate freely about its longitudinal axis on the support beam 25 to

medium of the support plate 23.

  The upper holding member 26 corresponding to the

  bottom support 21 is mounted on the cover 11 of the casing 10, above and at a distance from the body

  This holding member 26 is also

  it is provided with a retaining pin 27 and may also be provided with a retaining plate made in a manner similar to that of the support plate 23. This retaining pin 27 of the retaining member 26 is rotatably mounted. at the location 28 of the cover 11. The axis 26a of the retaining pin 27 passes through the cover 11 and is secured to a crank 30. A multiplier gear (not shown in the drawings) can be provided between the holding member 26 and the crank 30, o10 so that it becomes possible to confer a greater

  speed of rotation to the holding member 26 and thus to the rolling

  water 100 engaged, grasped by the gripping member 20, and by

  the speed of rotation of the crank 30. The longitudinal axis

  tudinal defined by the support member 21 and the hand-holding member

  26 and passing through the roll 100 is indicated by the reference

29 in FIG.

  According to the embodiment of the cleaning device shown in Figure 4, several baffles 40 semicircular section are provided on the inner faces of the side walls 13 of the housing 10, baffles, each of which comprises

  two respective leading edges 41, 41a which have such a positive

  angularity that the baffle hitting the chicane 40 is

  by means of said leading edges 41, 41a, in a direction such that the liquid is directed towards the roller 100 to be cleaned inside the casing 10. The direction of movement of the liquid supplied by means of these baffles and edges

  , 41, 41a is indicated by the arrow Y in FIG.

  According to the embodiment shown in FIG. 4, four baffles 40 with semicircular section, distributed on the inside face 14 of the casing 10 and made of

  the same way. The number of these chicanes 40 depends respectively

  diameter and shape of housing 10.

  When the cleaning device according to the invention is not used, several rollers 100 can be accommodated.

  inside the casing 10. For this purpose, lugs 50

  ticals are provided on the inner face of the bottom 12 of the casing and there shaped, pins, on which can engage the other rollers 100. The provision of these pins 50 for receiving the rollers is such that the rollers engaged thereon lodge vertically within

  part surrounded by baffles and leading edges 40, 41, 41a.

  In this way, it becomes possible to store several rou-

  water from roll tools in water or other suitable linuide for longer time intervals to prevent hardening of soil particles

  still adhering to it after incomplete cleaning of these rollers.

  Because the housing 10 can be enclosed by means of its lid 11, it avoids evaporation of the liquor lying

at. the inside of the casing 10.

  In its lower part, the box 10 is, moreover, -

  provided with a discharge pipe 60 carrying a shut-off valve

  61. After completing the cleaning of a roller, the cleaning liquid can easily be removed from the casing 10 via this discharge pipe 60, when

  the closing valve 61 is open.

  The cleaning device according to the present invention is implemented as follows: After removal of the cover 11 of the stacker 10, the roll 100 separated from its tool, roll, such as a roll of lambskin or synthetic fibers , is threaded on the support member 21 of the gripping device 20, so that the support pin 22 is introduced into the central bore of the roll 100. Then, the cover 11 comprising the holding member 26 yes is part of the gripping device, is so put back in place, that the retaining pin 27 of the holding member 26 is also introduced into the central bore of the roller, so that the roller to be cleaned is gripped between the support member 21 and the holding member 26 of the gripping device 20. Because the support member 21 is subjected to the action of a spring disposed on the support bracket 25, it is also possible to introduce rollers having different lengths in the gripping device 20. If the n introduces rollers to a longer length, the support member 21 is simply pressed against the

  helicoidal spring 24, so that this roll 100 is closed.

  seized or pinched by the gripping device 20.

  The filling of the cleaning liquid can be done before the cover 11 is put back in place. In addition, there is also the possibility of connecting the cleaning device to a water distribution network, if it is necessary to large amount of cleaning fluid. For this purpose, the lid 11 comprises a supply pipe 65 on which can be connected a pipe or the like to bring water,

  while, the closure valve 61 being open, the tubular

  The outlet 60 is connected to a sewer or the like.

  By actuating the crank 30, the roller 100

  stained inside the casing 10 is rotated

  The intensity of the cleaning is increased by the action of baffles and leading edges 40, 41, 1041 and casing 10 (see FIG. 4). These baffles 40, 41, 41a

  can be shaped on the inner faces of the casing 10.

  There is also the possibility to realize these baffles

  and leading edges 40, 41, 41a as detachable elements

  can be introduced into the boltier 10.

  In addition to manual operation of the cleaning device according to the invention, there is the possibility of using other types of driving devices. Thus, the drive of the rollers 100 to be cleaned can also be done by means of

engines.

  As for the embodiments shown in FIGS.

  at 4, it is a cleaning device designed to receive

  see, each time, a single roller to clean. It exists

  laws the possibility of disposing several devices

  inside the casing 10, if dimensions are chosen

  suitable for the case 10, so that a larger number

  high rollers can, at the same time, be engaged and cleaned.

  The respective axes 26a of the gripping devices 20 are, in this case, coupled to a single driving device or to the crank 30, so that when actuating

  of the latter, all the rollers 100 are trained simultaneously

in rotation.

  It is understood that changes can be made

  embodiments have just been described and which are shown in the accompanying drawings, without

  as far beyond the scope of the present invention.
