Definitions

the present invention relates to paint rollers with handle telescopic.
the outgrowth then presses enough against the internal faces of the external element, to make any subsequent sliding impossible.
the outer sleeve has in this arrangement, a large radial outgrowth whose role is to hold the finger firmly, everything allowing a slight radial stroke of the latter. Such a outgrowth clogs the handle and makes it difficult to handle.
the user must grasp a tube in each hand to train them relative to each other, which is all the more annoying when the handle is stained with paint.
the main object of the invention is to solve these drawbacks, that is to say to offer a telescopic handle roller which is both easily adjustable and which does not present any annoying protuberance for the gripping.
Such a roller is a paint roller with a telescopic handle. handle comprising an internal element and a sliding external element one inside the other, the internal element carrying a member designed to cooperate with the external element, against sliding, the external element having a longitudinal window facing outwards, along which said organ circulates and remains uncovered during sliding, characterized in that the longitudinal window forms on its edges longitudinal a series of arrangements capable of retaining said member against its sliding.
the present roller comprises a metal frame 200 which, from conventionally, forms at a first end an axis of rotation for a textile sleeve, and penetrates at a second end into a handle 100.
This second end cooperates here with the handle 100 by telescopic means which we will now describe.
the handle 100 constitutes an enclosure around a main channel 110 which runs through the handle 100 over the majority of its length.
This channel 110 has on one side a longitudinal light 105 which discovers it in user direction.
this channel 110 is extended on the frame side 200 by a passage 120 of significantly smaller diameter, which will be called below "Strangulation”.
the end of the frame 200 which arrives in the handle 100 carries meanwhile, a piece 210 which is attached to the frame 200 once the latter engaged in the handle 100.
the transverse dimensions of this part 210 is equal to that of the interior space of the channel 110. This end piece thus forms a slide without play, inside the channel 110.
the mount 200 thus put in place crosses the constriction 120 practically without play, but also without forcing.
the slide 210 and the running part of the frame 200 having dimensions complementary to the parts of the handle which receive it, to know the main channel 110 and the throttle 120, the mount 200 is held transversely, both at its rear end and where it opens from the handle 100.
the channel 110 has a substantially transverse shape rectangular, the narrower sides of which are arcuate convex towards outside.
this channel 110 has an internal contour transverse which corresponds to a disc of which we would have truncated two parts diametrically opposite along two lines parallel to each other and equal distance to the center.
the slider 210 has a cross section of similar dimensions, thus having two faces opposite rectilinear lines corresponding to the internal rectilinear faces of the canal 110.
the slide 210 once placed in the channel 110, cannot therefore not pivot in the handle 100.
the constriction 120 forms four pawns 125 on its internal wall, distributed angularly from uniformly, and pointing inward for a short distance.
the metal frame 200 has a diameter equal to that of a circle passing through the top of each of these pawns 125.
the metal frame 200 is, in the constriction 120, only in contact against the ends of the pawns 125.
These pawns 125 come to hold without play the mount 200, without affecting the sliding thereof due to the fact that they present with it only a reduced surface of friction.
the main channel 110 also has such projecting elements, intended to come into contact against the slide 210 without thereby have large friction surfaces.
the slider 210 is used in as a translational locking element. He wears, on his turned side towards the light 105, an elastic tongue 220 which extends away from the slide body from the end of the slide which is closest of the mount.
This tongue 220 is intended to penetrate into the light 105, and cooperate with retaining recesses formed in the edges of the light.
this tongue 220 has four walls 225, 227 projecting outwards, perpendicular to the axis of the slide 210.
the two low walls 225 located at the free end of the branch 220 have a width greater than that of the current part of the light 105 and thus come up against the edges of the light 105 in its part current.
These two walls 225 further taper towards the outside of the slide 210, so that when pushed by the user towards the interior of the channel, their portion possibly being in lumen 105 is reduced width, spaced from the longitudinal edges of the light 105.
These two walls 225 extend from an upper face of the tongue 220 and are, at their base, the same width as tongue 220.
the retaining arrangements 135 of the slide 210, formed on the edges of the light 105, are formed by recesses 136, 137 of the same thickness as the walls 225, and of a depth such that the distance between the bottoms of two such opposite recesses on either side of light is equal to the width of the low walls 225 at their base.
a light retaining arrangement 135 of the light 105 is each time consisting of two pairs of such recesses 136 and 137, a pair of each side of light 105, to receive both low walls 225.
a pair of recesses 136 and 137 is each separated by a short pawn 138, pointing inward of the light 105. This pawn 138 thus that the edges of the light 105 which are directly adjacent to the recesses 136 and 137 then come to bear on the upper face of the language 220.
each wall 225 is however slightly tapered in width towards the light 105, for penetration without snagging in the recesses 136, 137 at the return of the tongue 220.
the upper edge of each wall 225 has thus two lateral slopes at 45 °.
the walls 225 and 227 therefore extend to the through light 105 and have their upper edges in the alignment of the upper surface of the handle 100.
the slide 210 therefore fits into the volume of the handle 100 and does not interfere with the maneuverability of the handle 100.
This slide 210 is particularly convenient to adjust the frame length from the handle, by simple thumb action (note that during such an actuation, the four walls 225, 227 form a non-slip arrangement for the thumb of the user).
the slide 210 has, in part lower, two walls 232 and 234 parallel to each other, coming from molding with the main body of the cursor, and placed at two ends of the cursor, i.e. at the end on the frame side and at the end furthest from the mount. These walls 232 and 234 both cross the two rails 115 and 116 forming with them four support points in total. User does not see himself therefore oppose that very low friction forces during the slider 210.
the user To drive the frame 200 sliding in the handle 100, the user first disengages the walls 225 of the retaining 135 from the edges of the light 105, applying to the tongue 220 pressure towards the inside of channel 110. This pressure releases the walls 225, allowing the user to drive the slide by a push oblique thumb.
Such a reduction in contact surfaces is therefore particularly advantageous on the side of the slide which is opposite to that receiving the thumb push.
This reduction in contact surfaces also allows avoid sliding blockage due for example to a sticking effect by drops of dried paint between the slide and the handle.
the slide 210 For its attachment to the frame 200, the slide 210 has a single longitudinal channel 230, slightly larger inside dimension smaller than the diameter of the mount 200, for assembly by forcing on this one.
the immobilization in rotation of the slide 210 is obtained by four punched ears on the frame 200, in the frame area 200 intended to enter the slide 210, as shown in Figures 13 and 14. These ears are intended to enter force into the slide 210.
This internal channel 230 opens slightly towards the frame 200 for an easy introduction thereof to the assembly.
the punched ears are here arranged so diametrically opposite on the frame 200.
the protrusions 125 previously described, are distributed to allow the passage of these ears together when assembling the roller.
the present handle 100 has at its rear end a opening wide enough to allow the slide to be inserted 210 in the handle 100, this opening having an inner wall in funnel shape to facilitate this introduction.
the handle In the vicinity of this end of the handle, the handle also has, in position diametrically opposite to the light 105, an orifice 145 for hanging wall.
the handle 100 here has an external contour having the shape of a truncated circle in two diametrically opposite parallel flats, all two parallel to the general plane of the roller.
One of these flats includes longitudinal light 105.
the two flats of the handle 100 extend at their ends adjacent to the mounting 200, in two oblique parts, which deviate from the plane main roller, framing the part of the frame 200 which opens of the handle 100, thus forming hooks which make it possible to suspend the roller on the edge of a container containing paint.
