`
`TECHNICAL FIELD
`
`This invention relates generally to a paint mixing
`container and more specifically to a container for mix-
`ing automotive paints prior to application.
`BACKGROUND ART
`
`Presently, when paint is required, automotive body
`repair shops use paint mixing systems that require mix-
`ing base coat paints in one gallOn containers designed
`for use on a power driven mixing machine. The base
`paints are in turn mixed in a separate container to create
`the final desired colour. Thinners and hardeners are
`added and mixed by hand since it is important that these
`additives and the paint be thoroughly mixed in order to
`obtain a good final finish. Each of the mixing containers
`used must now be thoroughly cleaned using strong
`industrial chemicals.
`
`DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION
`
`invention is a paint mixing container
`
`The present
`comprising:
`a main body of circular cross-section with a base, side
`walls and an open top;
`a stirring arm comprising a rotatable central shaft
`with a helical blade rigidly mounted about said central
`shaft;
`a removable cover for covering the open top of said
`main body with a scalable opening and means to rotat-
`ably support said stirring arm in the interior of the main
`body; and
`locking means to allow said removable cover to be
`removable attached to the open top of said main body.
`In a preferred embodiment of the present invention
`the main body has a capacity of 6.7 liters allowing all
`- the ingredients necessary for preparing a coat of paint
`to be mixed in a single container. As well, in the pre-
`ferred embodiment of the present invention, the main
`body is fitted with a disposable plastic liner which can
`be discarded after the paint has been mixed thereby
`saving clean-up time and avoiding the use of potentially
`harmful cleaning chemicals. The stirring arm of the
`present invention avoids the present practice of manu-
`ally stirring the paint and additive mixture and uses a
`helical blade rotated by a powdered mixer to thor-
`oughly and consistently stir and blend the paint. The
`scalable opening in the cover of the present invention
`allows easy pouring of the main body contents or" the
`addition of ingredients to the main body. As well, the
`scalable opening provides a point of attachment for a
`spray gun assembly so the final paint preparation can be
`applied directly from the mixing container thereby min-
`imizing paint spillage.
`
`BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
`
`The present invention is illustrated, merely by way of
`example, in the drawings in which:
`FIG. 1 is a plan View of a preferred embodiment of
`the present invention;
`
`PREFERRED EMBODIMENT FOR CARRYING
`OUT THE INVENTION
`
`A preferred embodiment of the present invention is
`best shown in FIG. 2 and comprises main body 2, re-
`movable cover 20 and stirring arm 40.
`Main body 2 is a cylindrical container with a sealed
`base 4 and an open top 6. Base 4 is shaped as a flattened
`cone so that the base slopes downwardly from the cen-
`tre at a two degree angle to the outer edges of the main
`body. Also toward the base of the main body 2 is cir-
`cumferential notch 8 to allow the main body to be easily
`secured to a powered mixer platform. At open top 6, the
`wall of main body 2 is shaped to form lip 10. Wire
`handle 14 is mounted to main body 2 by mounting tabs
`15 that extend downwardly from lip 10. At spaced inter-
`vals around the lower edge lip 10 are wedge shaped tabs
`12 projecting outwardly from the lip at shown in FIG.
`3. These tabs 12 are part of the locking system which
`allows removable cover 20 to be sealed atop main body
`2.
`
`Removable cover 20 is best shown in FIG. 1 with
`scalable spout 22 at one edge of the cover and stirring
`arm support housing 24 mounted on the underside at the
`centre of the cover. The circumference of cover 20 is
`bounded by raised lip 27 with internal channel 28 hav-
`ing a semi—circular cross section shaped to fit over lip 10
`of the main body. As is best shown in FIG. 4, raised lip
`27 is shaped into a right angled lip 50 just below internal
`channel 28. Right angled lip 50 has a series of wedge
`tabs 52 spaced about the lower internal edge of the lip
`creating tapered channels 53 above each tab. Wedge
`tabs 52 are tapered in the opposite direction to wedge
`tabs 12 to main body 2. Handles 26 are used to rotate
`removable cover 20 after the cover has been placed
`atop main body 2. Rotating cover 20 causes wedge tabs
`12 of main body 2 to engage wedge tabs 52 of the cover
`causing tabs 12 to become wedged in channels 53 of the
`cover thereby sealing the cover into place on the main
`body.
`Scalable spout 22 is formed by walls extending up-
`wardly around aperture 29 in cover 20. Angled fap 30 is
`pivotally connected to the top of cover 20 and serves to

`

`seal spout 22 as angled flap 30 is formed with an outer
`lip 32 which fits tightly about the walls of spout 22.
`Biasing spring 33 ensures that angled flap 30 is normally
`in the closed positioned as shown in FIG. 2. To open
`spout 22, pressure is applied to surface 35 of angled flap
`30 to pivot the flap into the raised position shown by
`dashed lines in FIG. 2. It is understood that spout 22
`may be formed into any adequate shape with a rectan-
`gular and circular cross section being described in the
`preferred embodiment. FIG. 1A shows a modified
`spout and flap with like numbers being primed.
`Stirring arm in support housing 24 is molded to the
`underside of cover 20 to rotatably support shaft 42 of
`stirring arm 40. Shaft 42 extends from the interior of
`main body 2 through cover 20. The upper end of shaft
`42 is keyed as shown in FIG. 2 to allow the shaft to be
`connected to a powered mixer 47. Helical blade 43 is
`mounted about shaft 42 and spans the diameter of the
`main body with adequate clearance of the side walls to
`allow the blade to freely rotate. Helical blade 43 is made
`from flexible plastic and is attached to shaft 42 by lower
`mounting bracket 44 fitted over the lower end of shaft
`42 and by upper bracket 45. Lower mounting bracket 44
`also supports wire stirrers 46 that extend essentially
`radially to shaft 42 at a slight downward angle of two
`degrees to match the slope of base 4. These stirrers are
`necessary to keep the lowest layer of fluid in the main
`body circulating so that it does not stagnate.
`Before using the present invention, one can insert a
`formed plastic liner (not shown) corresponding to the
`internal shape of the main body 2. This liner extends
`above the upper edge of the main body and is folded
`over lip 10 before cover 20 is rotated in place to seal the
`main body. The plastic liner prevents the inner surface
`of the main body from coming into contact with the
`contents inside the plastic liner. Thus, the clean—up pro-
`cedure necessary with the present invention is greatly
`simplified since all that is necessary for the plastic liner
`to be removed from the main body and discarded.
`A second embodiment of the present
`invention is
`illustrated in FIGS. 5 and 6. In this second embodiment,
`parts analogous to the parts of the first embodiment are
`identically numbered. The use of a formed plastic liner
`is also presented.
`The second embodiment comprises a paint mixing
`container having a slightly tapered main body 2, a re-
`movable cover 20 and stirring arm 40. Preferably, the
`main body has approximately a 5.5 liter capacity and a
`scale 64 is marked on the main body. Main body 2 has a
`plurality of tapered indentations 60 that extend down-
`wardly from open top 6. Base 4 of the main body is
`recessed and formed with engagement tabs 62. Tapered
`indentations 60, recessed base 4 and engagement tabs 62
`allow the main body to be secured in a conventional
`manner to standard power-driven paint mixing ma~
`chines.
`
`A pouring spout 65 is formed in the main body of the
`container adjacent the open top 6. As best shown in
`FIGS. 5 and 6, removable cover 20 is formed with an
`opening 67 that aligns with spout 65 to allow pouring of
`fluids from the container. An independent sealing cap
`69 is provided for fitting over opening 67 in order to
`seal pouring spout 65. Opening 67 is formed'with a
`raised lip 74 which is engaged by sealing cap 69. If
`necessary, cover 20 can be provided with a filter mem-
`ber comprising a fine mesh screen 71 to filter fluids as
`they are poured from the container as shown in FIG.
`6A.

`Cover 20 is also formed with cutouts 68 spaced to
`align with tapered indentations 60 in the main body of
`the container. A central stirring arm support housing 24-
`is also formed in cover 20.
`FIG. 7 shows a detailed View of the manner in which
`removable cover 20 is attached and locked to main
`body 2. Locking means are provided comprising a
`channel 70 formed about the periphery of removable
`cover 20 on the underside of the cover. Channel 70 is
`formed with an inwardly directed flange 72. A corre—
`spondingly formed lip 73 is provided about open top 6
`of main body 2 designed to interfit with channel 70.
`When cover 20 is press fitted atop main body 2, flange
`72 of cover 20 is sufficiently resilient to move out-
`wardly about lip 73 and then inwardly to engage be-
`neath the lip as shown to hold cover 20 firmly atop main
`body 2. Cover 20 is removed by reaching under lip 73
`and applying an outward force on flange 72 to release
`the flange from under lip 73.
`The embodiment of the present invention also in-
`cludes a removable liner as shown in FIG. 9. Liner 79
`comprises a thin walled self-supporting flexible shell
`having a base 80, side walls 82 and an open top 84
`. adapted to fit within main body 2. Tapered indentations
`85 are formed in the side walls 82 to align with similar
`indentations 60 in the main body 2. This liner is placed
`inside the main body to protect the body from fluids
`held within the container. The liner is easily removable
`and provides for easy cleaning if desired. Alternatively,
`if the liner cannot be cleaned, it can discarded and re-
`placed with a new liner.
`Positioning means are provided to align and lock the
`liner shell into main body 2 comprising indentations 90
`and projections 92 formed on the side walls and base of
`liner 79 and adapted to interfit with corresponding pro-
`jections and indentations formed in main body 2. Liner
`79 is also provided with a lip 94 about a open top 84 and
`a spout 95 that overlies lip 73 and spout 65 of main body
`2 when the liner is inserted into the main body 2. In
`FIG. 7, liner 79 is shown by dashed lines and is clamped
`between cover 20 and main body 2 to assist in positively
`locating the liner within the main body.
`Referring to FIG. 6, the paint mixing container of the
`second embodiment is provided with a removable man—
`ually rotatable handle 97 to operate stirring arm 40. As
`with the previous embodiments, stirring arm 40 com-
`prises a helical blade 100 mounted to a shaft 101 rotat-
`able in stirring arm support housing 24. An adapter 104
`is mounted to the top of shaft 101 to accept rotatable
`handle 97. Adaptor 104 is formed with a pair of projec-
`tions 106 that engage in holes 108 formed in handle 97.
`Helical blades 100 and shaft 101 are very similar to
`the arrangement of the first embodiment. Helical blade
`100 is mounted about shaft 101 and spans the diameter
`of the main body with adequate clearance of the side
`walls and the liner to allow the blade to rotate freely. As
`best shown in FIG. 8, helical blade 100 is molded from
`flexible plastic and is attached to shaft 101 by mounting
`means comprising a lower bracket 106 that is fitted over
`the lower end of shaft 101. Helical blade 100 terminates
`at its upper end in radial tab 105 that is formed with an
`aperture 105A to engage in a notch 107 about shaft 101.
`Lower bracket 106 and the lower portion of helical
`blade 100 include an integrally formed extension 110
`adapted to extend radially to the axis of shaft 101 adja-
`cent base 4 of main body 2 in order to ensure proper
`mixing of fluids at the bottom of the container. The
