Definitions
- the invention relates to the field of paint touch up kits. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
- Paint touch-up kits are known. However, known kits suffer from relatively high cost and/or relatively low utility.
- Forming one aspect of the invention is a kit comprising a plastic bottle, a plastic cap, an elongate structure and a mixing element.
- the bottle has an aperture and a portion having a thread.
- the cap has a thread shaped and dimensioned to engage the thread of the bottle.
- the elongate structure has an applicator end which is adapted for receiving and delivering paint in the manner of a brush and.
- the aperture is sealed by one or more of the structure and the cap.
- the mixing element is sized for disposition in the bottle and has a density such that, when the aperture is sealed and the bottle contains paint, a shaking motion applied to the bottle results in mixture of the paint.
- the kit can comprise a plastic funnel.
- the funnel can be shaped and
- the terminus of the funnel can be shaped and dimensioned for disposition in the aperture and in plug-fit relation by the threaded portion of the bottle.
- the kit can comprise a plastic ladle.
- the threaded portion of the bottle can be an exteriorly-threaded neck; and the cap can be threaded interiorly.
- the applicator end can be a paint brush.
- the aperture can be sealed when the thread of the cap is operatively engaged to the thread of the bottle.
- the structure can be adapted for snap-fit engagement with the cap.
- the cap can have a bore in which the thread of the cap is defined, the base of the bore having an annular lip defining a throughpassage smaller in girth than the girth of threaded part of the bore; and the structure can have a flared base and extend from the flared base to the applicator end, the base being resiliently deformable to a sprung position, whereat the base has a girth sufficiently small to breach the throughpassage, from an unsprung position, whereat the base has a girth larger than the throughpassage, thereby to provide for said snap-fit engagement of the structure and the cap.
- the bottle can be transparent or translucent.

- FIG. 6D is a view along 6D-6D of FIG. 6C;
- FIG. 7A is a view similar to FIG. 3A of a structure according to an alternative embodiment of the invention.
- FIG. 7B is a view of the structure of FIG. 7A from a different vantage point.
- the exemplary embodiment 20 shown in FIG. 1 -6 will be seen to include a bottle 22, a cap 24, a funnel 26, a ladle 28, a structure 30 and a pair of mixing elements 32.
- the bottle 22 is a translucent plastic bottle having an aperture 34 and a portion 36 having a thread 38, namely, an exteriorly-threaded neck, which defines the aperture 34.
- a fill line 40 is also provided on the bottle.
- the cap 24 is plastic, is threaded interiorly and has a bore 42 in which the thread 44 is defined.
- the base 46 of the bore has an annular lip 48 defining a throughpassage 50 smaller in girth than the girth of threaded part of the bore.
- Raised ridges 52 are provided on the exterior of the cap, to facilitate manipulation by hand.
- the funnel 26 is plastic and has a mouth 54 and a terminus 56.
- the terminus is provided with exterior ribs 57.
- the ladle 28 is plastic and has a manually grippable handle 58 at a first end thereof and a bowl 60 at a second end thereof.
- the structure 30 is elongate, has a flared base 62 and extends from the flared base 62 to an applicator end 64, namely, namely, a brush which is adapted for receiving and delivering paint.
- the pair of mixing elements 32 is defined by a pair of stainless steel balls of about 10mm in diameter. In terms of the functionality of the components, the following should be understood:
- the funnel 26 is shaped and dimensioned for the delivery of paint into bottle 22 through the aperture 34, specifically, the terminus 56 of the funnel 26 is shaped and dimensioned for disposition in the aperture 34 and in plug-fit relation by the threaded portion 36 of the bottle; the ribs 57 provide an air passage exterior to the terminus 56 but interiorly of the bottle 22, thereby to avoid vapor lock if liquid such as paint is poured through the funnel 26 into the bottle 22 operatively position beneath
- the base 62 of the elongate structure 30 is resiliently deformable to a sprung position, whereat the base 62 has a girth sufficiently small to breach the throughpassage 50, from an unsprung position, whereat the base 62 has a girth larger than the throughpassage 50, thereby to provide for snap-fit engagement of the structure 30 and the cap 24
- the mixing elements 32 are sized for disposition in the bottle 22 and have a
- the fill line 40 is positioned on the bottle 22 such that the volume available in the bottle 22 accommodates the volume of the structure 30 that lies below the fill line 40 in use; thus, the bottle 22, when filled to the line 40, does not overflow upon insertion of the paint applicator structure 30
- the ladle 28 is slightly smaller than the funnel 26, to facilitate delivery of liquid from the ladle into the funnel without spillage
- the above described components are packaged for sale as a kit, in paint supply stores and the like.
- the cap, elongate structure, mixing elements and bottle will typically be assembled with the elongate structure in said snap- fit relation to the cap, the cap in threaded engagement with the bottle and the mixing elements in the bottle.
- kit provides a convenient mechanism for the creation of supplies of touch up paint that minimizes preparatory and clean-up work that is conventional in the prior art, namely:
- plastic as the dominant structure in the kit allows for the inexpensive production thereof, thereby to render the kit suitable for use as a disposable product and an easy "up sell" for paint suppliers.
- kit for retail purposes includes two complete bottle assemblies (bottle, cap, structure, mixing elements), a funnel and a ladle. It will be evident to persons of ordinary skill that variations are possible.
- FIG. 7A and FIG. 7B an alternative embodiment of the structure 30 of FIG. 3A is shown and designated with general reference numeral 30A.
- This structure 30A again is elongate, has a flared base 62A and extends from the flared base 62A to an applicator end 64A, namely, namely, a brush which is adapted for receiving and delivering paint; herein, the cross-section of the central portion is an elliptical tube, which permits paint to be scraped off in use relatively easily and thereby assists in the avoidance of paint waste.
- the applicator end could be a foam tip or roller
