PAINT MIXING RECEPTACLES Filed March 25, 1959 4 l INVENTdR ARNOLD A. 13513035 ATTORNEY United States Patent Ofiice Patented Feb. 13, 1962 3,021,118 PAINT MIXING RECEPTACLES Arnold A. Dedoes, 2070 W. Eleven Mile Road, Berkley, Mich. Filed Mar. 25, 1959, Ser. No. 801,811 3 Claims. Cl. 259-43 This invention relates to improvements in fluid mixing machines and more particularly to a novel form of detachable cover device for application to the individual commercial receptacles or containers associated with cabinet type mixing machines.
The operation of such commercial (paint or lacquer) mixing machines for use in mixing paints and lacquers for example, enables the operator to stir several different liquids simultaneously and when it is desired to stir and mix several different colors it requires considerable handling of the containers in and out of the machine. Heretofore difliculty has been experienced in providing an eflicient and accessible cover which shall conveniently replace the commercial covers for each of the several containers while in the machine and facilitate fluid mixing and pouring and general usage of the fluid containers in and out of the machine.
One important object of the present invention is to provide a novel form of detachable cover attachment for association with a commercial fluid container which shall be more desirable and eflicient in operation than similar devices heretofore proposed.
Another object of the invention is to provide a cover of the character designated which may be made from a single metal die-casting operation and include a simplified and more efficient form of fluid pouring spout.
Another object of the invention is to provide a novel form of container cover spout fluid cut-off valve and operating mechanism therefor.
Another object of the invention is to provide a cover mechanism of the character designated including a spout closure and fluid cut-off valve mechanism which may be manually operated while handling the container to facilitate pouring material from the container.
A further object of the invention is to provide a cover device including a novel form of stirrer unit carried there by.
These and other objects of the invention will be more manifest from the following specification and drawings and more particularly set forth in the claims.
In the drawings:
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a container cover and stirrer constructed and arranged in accordance with the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the cover and spout mechanism showing the spout valve partially open;
FIG. 3 is a sectional view in elevation of the cover and container shown in FIG. 1;
FIG. 4 is an enlarged perspective view of the spout valve operating lever shown in FIG. 1;
FIG. 5 is a fragmentary sectional front view on line 55 of FIG. 3 of the spout valve and retaining guide therefor;
FIG. 6 is a detailed sectional view of the agitator blade on line 66 of FIG. 3; and
FIG. 7 is a fragmentary view in elevation of the can cover lock shown in FIG. 2.
Referring to FIGURES 1, 2, and 3 of the drawings, there is shown a dome-shaped container closure cover 10 embodying the invention and adapted for use with a conventional type of commercial paint can adaptable for use in association with a fluid mixing mechanism of the usual type well known in the art. The cover 10 is preferably made of relatively heavy die-cast metal and is adapted to replace the commercial can cover while the contents are being stirred in the machine. This cover includes a peripheral depending edge flange 12 adapted to fit within a top groove 13 of the standard paint can when the commercial can cover is removed to permit application of the mixer head 10 with its associated parts hereinafter more fully described. The cover is made dome-shaped and of diecast metal to provide a more sturdy construction of the required strength to withstand the rough usage to which such covers are continuously subjected during the normal operation thereof in stirring, mixing, pouring, and blending fluent materials.
Formed as an integral part of the die-cast cover is a spout member 14 substantially within the side limits of the can and which is closed by a horizontally disposed flat metal sliding closure valve member 15. This closure is actuated by a connecting lever 16 which is pivotally retained in a V shaped recess 17 formed integrally in the cover 10 as hereinafter more fully described. The valve plate 15 is freely guided in its sliding movement by the projecting spout edges 14'l4. The operating lever 16 shown in FIGURE 4 is made from a heavy sheet metal stamping and includes a rearwardly and upwardly extending thumb engaging portion 18 for more convenient manipulation while pouring fluid from the can. This lever also includes a central body portion 19, a curved stuck-up valve plate engaging portion 20 and downwardly struck portions 21-21 which form the pivotal operating support for the lever at the bottom of the cover V shaped depression 17. The portions 21-21 are relatively long and thus provide a very efficient valve operating lever. The valve plate member 15 includes a longitudinal slot 22 formed therein to slidably engage the head of a retaining screw 23 mounted in the top surface of a bearing block 24 also formed as an integral part of the cover 10. The bearing block 24 also forms a bearing support for the stirrer mechanism hereinafter described, as well as a closure limit stop 26 for the movement of the spout valve plate 15 and lever 20 as shown in FIGURE 3. It will be observed that the spout valve plate 15 is supported and freely guided at the front end by the spout edges 14'14 and at the rear end portion by the top surface of the bearing block 24, the slot 22 and screw 23. The rear extremity of the plate 15 adjacent the bearing block 24 includes a downwardly extending flange 25 for edge contact engagement with the manual operating lever projection 20. The valve plate 15 maintains the spout closed by means of a coil spring loop 27 engaging an upstanding eyelet projection 28 formed in the cover 10 and a pair of downwardly extending tongue members 29-29 struck from the plate 15 as shown in FIGURES 3 and 5. It will be noted that the spring 27 holds the valve spring 27 tightly in a downwardly direction as well as tightly in a horizontal sliding direction against the spout edges and the bearing stop 26.
The cover 10 with its central bearing 24 retains in position the container agitator mechanism which includes a vertical shaft 30 with a top external drive coupling member 31 and a lower agitation member 32. The coupling member 31 includes a hub having a transverse bar portion 33 and upwardly extending vertical end portions 34--34 to freely engage a freely swinging and pivotally mounted cooperating plate member 35 which forms a part of the power drive mechanism, not shown. The coupling 31 is removably-'connected to the shaft 30 by a set screw 36 when it is desired to remove and clean the valve plate 15 whenever necessary.
The agitator member 32 is formed from a heavy sheet metal stamping and designed as shown in FIGURE 6 to produce a most effective and eflicient stirring operation while being rotated in the container. This agitator is preferably rectangular in shape and divided at its mid portion by a vertical groove to fit the shaft 30 and be integrally 3 secured thereto by spot welding as indicated by the numerals 37--37. It will be noted that one vertical side section of the stirrer plate 32 is a solid plate and provided with deflected top and bottom end portions 38'-39 both inclined in the same direction. The other section of the stirrer plate is perforated by a top group of transverse louvers 40-40 bent outwardly in one direction at the top half of the stirrer and a bottom set of louvers 41-41 bent from the same side of the plate body but in the opposite direction. From the above arrangement it will be noted that in the construction of the stirrer member 32, the one solid plane side produces bodily movement of the fluid engaged thereby while the side with the louvers produces a counter directional or turbulent movement of the fluid engaging that portion of the stirrer body and thus eifectuates the desired intimate mixing of the fluid. The mixing is further aided by the fact that the top and bottom edges 4243 of the perforated section are inclined parallel to louvers 40 and 41 so as to force fluid through associated openings 40' and 41 respectively. A further feature of this novel stirrer arrangement is that it may be made from a single metal stamping operation and thus further reduce production costs to a minimum.
The cover is clamped in place by a pair of side clamps 4444 mounted on opposite sides of the cover and manipulated in suitable cast bearings 45-45 formed integral with the cover and only one will be described in detail as shown in FIGURE 7. Each clamp includes a vertical shaft 46 extending through a cover bearing 45, an operating handle 47 rigidly secured at the top thereof and a cam member 48 secured to the lower extremity of the shaft 46. The cam 48 has an inclined surface 49 adapted to engage under the cam rim 13 and securely hold the cover 10 in fluid tight engagement with the can to which it may be attached. The lever 47 and cam 48 are held in yieldable compressed tension relative to the cover 10 and can 11 by means of a leaf spring 50 having its free ends supported in spaced apart projections 5151 cast integrally with the cover 10. The arrangement is such that spring 50 holds the parts in readiness to clamp the cover to the can by a half turn and release the same by a reverse movement thereof. This sturdy and simplified yieldable locking arrangement provides a clamp which is most effective in operation and particularly easy to clean and keep free of the usual contamination present in devices of this kind.
Having thus described a preferred embodiment of my invention, changes may be made therein without depart ing from the invention defined in the claims.
