Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen Behälter für Lösungsmittel zum Reinigen von farb- und ölhaltigen Werkzeugen, wie Spritzgeräte, Lackierwerkzeuge, Fettpistolen od. dgl.The invention relates to a container for solvents for cleaning paint and oil-containing tools, such as spraying devices, painting tools, grease guns or the like.

Bisher erfolgte das Reinigen derartiger Geräte in einer entsprechenden Reinigungswanne, die mit einem Verdünnungs- oder Lösungsmittel gefüllt war. Wenn diese Reinigungsflüssigkeit einen bestimmten Verschmutzungsgrad erreicht hatte, wurde sie verworfen und durch eine neue Reinigungsflüssigkeit ersetzt. Diese Arbeitsweise hat den Nachteil, daß der Aufwand an Reinigungsflüssigkeit relativ hoch ist und daß es häufig schwierig ist, die Reinigungsflüssigkeit zu entfernen, da diese nicht in das übliche Kanalsystem eingeführt werden darf und daß, je länger die Reinigungsflüssigkeit benutzt wird, der Reinigungswirkungsgrad gemindert wird, da die Flüssigkeit ständig an Schmutzpartikelchen angereichert wird.So far, such devices have been cleaned in a corresponding cleaning trough which was filled with a diluent or solvent. When this cleaning fluid had reached a certain degree of contamination, it was discarded and replaced with a new cleaning fluid. This procedure has the disadvantage that the amount of cleaning liquid is relatively high and that it is often difficult to remove the cleaning liquid, since this must not be introduced into the usual channel system and that the longer the cleaning liquid is used, the cleaning efficiency is reduced because the Liquid is constantly enriched with dirt particles.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Behälter für derartige Reinigungs- oder Lösungsmittel zu schaffen, bei dem eine nahezu automatische Selbstreinigung des Lösungsmittels herbeigeführt wird und der eine Wiederverwendung des Lösungsmittels in weitestem Umfang ermöglicht.The invention has for its object to provide a container for such cleaning or solvents, in which an almost automatic self-cleaning of the solvent is brought about and which enables reuse of the solvent to the greatest extent.

Diese der Erfindung zugrundeliegende Aufgabe wird gelöst durch einen oberen rechteckigen, ovalen oder runden Arbeitsbereich des Behälters, einen am unteren Ende des Behälters angeordneten Ablaßhahn, einen am oberen Ende des oberen Arbeitsbereiches angeordneten Ablaßhahn sowie jeweils im wesentlichen unmittelbar oberhalb der Ablaßhähne entnehmbar angeordnete Schmutzsiebe, die also aus dem Behälter herausgenommen und gereinigt werden können.This object on which the invention is based is achieved by an upper rectangular, oval or round working area of the container, a drain cock arranged at the lower end of the container, a drain cock arranged at the upper end of the upper working area and in each case essentially arranged above the drain cocks can be removed from the container and cleaned.

Die Arbeitsweise mit dem erfindungsgemäßen Behälter ist derart, daß in den unteren Teil des Behälters Wasser eingefüllt wird, während auf dieses Wasser im oberen Teil des Behälters, d.h.dem eigentlichen Arbeitsbereich, das Reinigungs- oder Lösungsmittel eingefüllt wird, das in bekannter Weise leichter als Wasser ist und damit oberhalb des im unteren Bereich des Behälters vorgesehenen Wassers steht. Dabei wird so vorgegangen, daß etwa das obere Schmutzsieb, d.h. also auch die obere Ebene des Ablaßhahnes, die Grenze zwischen Wasser und Lösungsmittel ist.The method of working with the container according to the invention is such that water is poured into the lower part of the container, while the cleaning agent or solvent, which is known to be lighter than water, is poured onto this water in the upper part of the container, ie the actual working area and thus stands above the water provided in the lower area of the container. The procedure is such that the upper strainer, ie the upper level of the drain cock, is the boundary between water and solvent.

Im Betrieb wird nunmehr das Werkzeug im oberen Teil des Behälters im Lösungsmittel gewaschen und die dabei freiwerdenden Fett- und Farbpartikelchen sinken durch das Lösungsmittel nach unten und werden entweder auf dem oberen Sieb festgehalten oder sinken durch das obere Sieb in das im unteren Teil des Behälters befindliche Wasser.In operation, the tool in the upper part of the container is now washed in the solvent and the fat and color particles released in the process sink downward through the solvent and are either held on the upper sieve or sink through the upper sieve into the one located in the lower part of the container Water.

Hat dieses Wasser einen bestimmten Verschmutzungsgrad erreicht, dann kann der im unteren Teil des Behälters angeordnete Ablaßhahn geöffnet und das Wasser abgelassen werden. Grobe Verschmutzungen werden dabei im oberen Sieb zurückgehalten, feinere Verschmutzungen dann, wenn die Siebe unterschiedliche Maschenweiten aufweisen, im unteren Sieb, so daß häufig das Ablassen des Wassers in die eigentliche Kanalisation möglich gemacht wird.When this water has reached a certain degree of pollution, the drain cock located in the lower part of the container can be opened and the water can be drained off. Coarse dirt is retained in the upper sieve, finer dirt when the sieves have different mesh sizes, in the lower sieve, so that it is often possible to drain the water into the sewage system itself.

Bevor das Wasser aus dem unteren Teil des Behälters abgelassen wird, ist der im oberen Teil des Behälters im Grenzbereich zwischen Wasser und Lösungsmittel.angeordnete Ablaßhahn geöffnet worden und das sich im oberen Teil befindliche Lösungsmittel in einen Vorratskanister abgelassen worden.Before the water is drained from the lower part of the tank, it is in the upper part of the tank In the border area between water and solvent. arranged drain tap was opened and the solvent located in the upper part was drained into a storage canister.

Nachdem Lösungsmittel und Wasser aus dem Behälter entfernt sind, werden die beiden Siebe entnommen und gereinigt und dann wiederum frisches Wasser in den unteren Teil des Behälters nach Schließen des unteren Ablaßhahnes eingefüllt. Das Wasser wird bis zur Grenzkante des oberen Ablaßhahnes eingefüllt und dann wird über dieses Wasser das Verdünnungs- oder Lösungsmittel eingefüllt und nun ist der Behälter wieder arbeitsbereit.After the solvent and water have been removed from the container, the two sieves are removed and cleaned and then fresh water is again poured into the lower part of the container after the lower drain tap has been closed. The water is filled up to the border of the upper drain tap and then the diluent or solvent is poured in via this water and the container is now ready for use again.

Weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen des Behälters sind in den Unteransprüchen erläutert.Further advantageous embodiments of the container are explained in the subclaims.

Selbstverständlich liegt es im Rahmen des Schutzrechtes, daß die vorstehend erwähnten beiden-Siebe unterschiedliche Sieb- oder Maschenweiten aufweisen können.Of course, it is within the scope of the property right that the two sieves mentioned above can have different sieve or mesh sizes.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung wird nachfolgend anhand der Zeichnung erläutert.An embodiment of the invention is explained below with reference to the drawing.

In der Zeichnung ist mit 1 allgemein ein Behälter bezeichnet, dessen unterer Teil 2 trichterförmig ausgebildet ist, während der obere Teil als Arbeitsbereich 3 ausgebildet ist,d.h. rechteckig und rohrförmig gestaltet ist, so daß eine möglichst große Arbeitswanne geschaffen wird. Mit 4 ist ein an der Behälterrückseite über entsprechende Scharniere 5 und 6 schwenkbar angeordneter Deckel bezeichnet, der bei Nichtgebrauch des Behälters ein Verdunsten der Waschflüssigkeit verhindert.In the drawing, 1 generally denotes a container, the lower part 2 of which is funnel-shaped, while the upper part is designed as a work area 3, i. is rectangular and tubular, so that the largest possible work tub is created. 4 designates a lid which is pivotably arranged on the rear of the container via corresponding hinges 5 and 6 and which prevents the washing liquid from evaporating when the container is not in use.

An den Behälter schließt an der Grenzkante zwischen dem unteren Teil 2 und dem oberen Arbeitsbereich 3 ein Ablaßhahn 7 an. Weiterhin ist ein Ablaßhahn 8 im untersten Teil des Behälters vorgesehen. Oberhalb des Ablaßhahnes 7 ist ein Schmutzsieb 9 und oberhalb des Ablaßhahnes 8 ein Schmutzsieb 1o angeordnet, wobei beide Siebe entnommen werden können. Hierzu sind die in der Zeichnung dargestellten Haken 11 vorgesehen, die ein leichtes Betätigen der Siebe ermöglichen, beispielsweise auch ein Ergreifen der Siebe durch entsprechende Greifeinrichtungen möglich machen, so daß ein Berühren der verschmutzten Bauteile nicht notwendig ist.A drain tap 7 connects to the container at the boundary edge between the lower part 2 and the upper working area 3. Furthermore, a drain tap 8 is provided in the lowest part of the container. A dirt strainer 9 is arranged above the drain cock 7 and a dirt strainer 10 is arranged above the drain cock 8, both sieves being able to be removed. For this purpose, the hooks 11 shown in the drawing are provided, which enable easy operation of the sieves, for example also make it possible to grasp the sieves by appropriate gripping devices, so that touching the soiled components is not necessary.

Die Wirkungsweise und Arbeitsweise mit dem neuen Behälter ist bereits vorstehend erläutert und braucht hier daher nicht wiederholt zu werden.The mode of operation and operation with the new container has already been explained above and needs here therefore not to be repeated.

Der Behälter kann aus Metall oder Kunststoff bestehen und kann außerdem mit entsprechenden Aufhängevor- richtungen ausgerüstet sein, die sein Anhängen an eine Werkstattwand od. dgl. erleichtern.The container may be made of metal or plastic and can also with corresponding A ufhängevor- devices to be equipped, the od be attach to a workshop wall. Like. Facilitate.
