The invention relates to a container consisting of two trough-shaped containers of essentially the same size Lids, which are each connected to a joint, which is located at the two ends of opposite lid side walls is designed, as well as with an open top water tank, which is attached to each joint with each an intermediate piece is connected to which the two covers are hinged, expediently for use as Paint box.

In the case of the container known from German patent specification 25 34 861, the water container is more solid Part of the paint box. The disadvantage of such a paint box is that when filling or rinsing out the water tank, the entire MaI-kasten must be carried to the sink and the There is a risk that the entire paint box and the pots of paint it may contain Be stained with water.

The invention is therefore based on the object of designing the container which can be used as a paint box in such a way that that he remains largely free of impurities when replenishing water.

For this purpose it is provided according to the invention in the container mentioned at the beginning that the two intermediate pieces are designed as end walls of a web-shaped central part with which the water tank is detachably connected This way the water tank can

Washed out and refilled separately from the container and also in a separate place as desired and required be set up.

The middle part is expediently trough-shaped, in which the water tank can be inserted, so that colors can also be used in the middle section if necessary can be touched. An inclination of the side walls of the middle part ensures that when it is collapsed Container whose hinge side remains tightly closed so that neither paint pots fall out other small parts can fall into the closed container.

In an expedient, particularly advantageous embodiment the container has a color mixing palette with a transverse channel on the underside, which enables a detachable insertion of the color mixing palette in the area of the inside of the lid, the is not filled by the water tank when the container is closed. The color mixing palette can be selected from the Container removed, suitably held with the thumb at a designated opening and on immediately available at the workplace.

It proves to be particularly expedient if the inner area of the cover is subdivided by several transverse webs is, between which a row of locking elements are pressed into the paint pots can, is trained.

To protect the inside of the closed container from further contamination from the water container

protect, it proves to be useful to provide this with a removable cover.

The particular advantage of the invention is to be seen in the fact that both the water tank and the color mixing palette are not integral parts of the paint box and are therefore easily removed can be. This makes it easier to keep the container clean.

The invention is described below with reference to the exemplary embodiment shown in the accompanying drawing described in detail. In the figures, parts that correspond to one another have been given the same reference symbols Mistake. Show it:

Figure 1 shows the closed container in its use as a paint box;

FIG. 2 shows the paint box in a half-opened state;

FIG. 3 shows the paint box in a fully open state;

FIG. 4 shows a structural detail of the removed water container; and

Figure 5 shows an embodiment of the color mixing palette.

The paint box made of plastic and shown in FIGS. 1, 2 and 3 consists of two Covers 1 and 2 as well as a middle part 3. The middle

Part 3 is trough-shaped and has side walls 32, 32 'which extend outward at an angle of 45 ° to the web 30 connecting _{the end walls 3I 7 31'.} The end walls 31, 31 'of the middle part 3 are each provided in the vicinity of their upper edge with a rib 33 running parallel to the web 30, which cooperate with the receptacles 43 of the water container 4 , which will be explained later. Furthermore, the end walls 31, 31 'each have two pivot pins 17, 27 at the bottom on the outside, which extend into corresponding bores at the ends of the side walls 10, 10' and 20, 20 'of the covers 1, 2.

The lids 1 and 2 are designed as hollow lids, each of which has three rows, arranged one behind the other, of the individual latching elements, not shown, into which the paint pots 15, 16 and 25, 26, respectively, can be pressed. Transverse webs 14, 24 are formed between the two rows of latching elements or paint pots. The two first rows 15, 25, starting from the front side parts 11, 21 of the lid, lie close to one another, whereas between the second row 25 and the third row 26 there is a gap 7, 8 extending across the lid 1, 2 . The front side parts 11, 21 are each provided with a protruding bar 13, 23, wcbei the bar 13 extends over a first part of the width of the cover 1 and the bar 23 extends over the remaining part of the width of the cover 2, so that the Bars 13, 23 are aligned when the container is closed. For the closedness of the container sine ¹ ! formed on the front side parts 11, 21 not shown in detail Rastelernente. The side walls 10, 10 'form with the

front side part 11 a contiguous circumferential Edge and have through-holes 12 at their free ends, into which the aforementioned hinge pins 17 of the middle part 3 engage. Correspondingly, the side walls 20, 20 'form with the front side part 21 of the Lid 2 has a coherent, circumferential edge, wherein at the free ends of the side walls 20, 20 'j, e a through hole 22 is provided, into which the pivot pins 27 of the central part 3 engage.

In this way, the paint box shown in Figure 3 can be completely out of the fully open position be closed, as Figure 1 shows, the lid 2 swiveling through 180 ° relative to the lid 1 executes, and comes to rest on this, so that the locking elements on the edge strips 11, 21 engage with one another and keep the container closed. The middle part 3 pivots only by 90 ° relative to the cover 1 and closes the. Edge strips 13, 23 opposite back of the container.

The water container 4 according to Figures 2 and 4 has the shape of an elongated, right-angled trough, which is divided into three compartments 40, 41 by two inner walls 45. Holders can be placed in one of the compartments be provided for brushes or the like, while water is stored in the other compartments can. The water container 4 can be closed with a flat cover, not shown, which can be releasably pressed onto the upper edge of the container 4.

In the lower part of the water tank 4, the end walls 38, 39 an entry 44 into which one

elongated recess 43 is pressed. The length of the water tank 4 is at most equal to clear width of the cover 1, 2 between their side walls 10, 10 'and 20, 20'. The height of the water level holder 4 is dimensioned so that it is at most equal to the distance between the inner surface of the web 30 to the neighboring Cross brace 14, 24. The water tank 4 has a width that is at most equal to the clear Height of the side walls 10, - 10 * plus the clear height of the side walls 20, 20 '.

With this dimensioning of the water container 4, it can be placed on the middle part 3 between the end walls 'JsI, 31', the ribs 23 releasably falling into the recesses 43. The size of the projection 44 takes into account the wall thickness of the end walls 31, 31 ″, so that the outer surfaces of the side walls 38, 39 above the indentation 44 are flush with the outer surface of the end walls 31, 31 '. FIG. 2 shows the slightly more than halfway Opened paint box with inserted water container 4.

The color mixing pallet 5 shown in Figure 5 consists of a plastic molded part with a bottom 55, around which an edge 56 runs on three sides. The edge 56 tapers on two opposite side edges to the free front edge 57 of the pallet 5. From the surface of the bottom 55 are three webs connected to form an H 53 formed, the bottom 55 in ι several color mixing fields 54 subdivide. From the bottom 55 is also one extending across the pallet 5 Groove 52 is formed downward, the depth of which is such that the bottom 55 when the Pallet 5 weakly on a flat table surface

is inclined towards the edge 56 at the rear. Between of the channel 52 and the rimless front edge 57 is a thumb hole 51 in the bottom 55 of the pallet 5 depressed. The distance of the channel 52 from the rear edge 56 is so large that the inside about the Cover 2 inserted pallet 5 (Figure 2) with its channel 52 in the space 8 between the row of paint pots and the adjacent transverse web 24 engages. The length of the pallet 5 is almost over the transverse web 14 or 24, which is adjacent to the central part 3. In this way the container can be closed with the water tank 4 inserted and the color mixing pallet 5 inserted, as in FIG. 1 shows.

The invention is based on details of the illustrated and / or described embodiment of the container not restricted, but the figures are to be regarded as an independent means of disclosing the invention.
