Description

[0001] The invention relates to a system for creating different painterly design effects.

[0002] To create attractive building designs, decorative effects are used in addition to classic wall paints. These effects create textures or other types of designs on the wall. Examples of such effects include wood grain, slate finishes, or brickwork effects, where paints and other painting materials are applied to create, for example, a slate texture, wood grain, or brickwork contour. For beginners, creating such effects is time-consuming, especially since the necessary tools and other painting materials are often not readily available. Only with considerable experience is it possible to assemble the appropriate supplies to create various decorative effects. It is also essential that the various painting materials are easily accessible and organized, as many designs require quick action, e.g.,to create effects before a layer of paint has dried.

[0003] US 11 273 667 B2 is a DIY kit in the form of a case with multiple compartments for storing repair materials. The case has built-in compartments to hold the various repair materials securely. The repair materials can include filler for patching, wood glue, wall anchors for hanging pictures, white silicone sealant, polystyrene filler for large holes, screws, nails, painter's tape, drywall tape, mesh patches, stirring sticks, and adhesive labels. A disadvantage of this well-known DIY kit is the lack of a painting surface. This must be carried separately and is therefore easily forgotten.

[0004] CH 283 461 A describes a mobile drawing table that can be folded into a case for transport, but this case is bulky and therefore difficult to transport. WO 00 / 50251 A1 discloses a multifunctional paint tray with a lid that slides onto the tray to close it. A paint roller can be stored in the paint tray, but this roller is freely movable and therefore causes noise during transport.

[0005] US 2014 / 0 284 225 A1 describes a paint palette and containers for art materials that can be stored interchangeably within the palette using magnetic or adhesive trays and accessories. This type of storage is expensive because it requires magnets or special adhesive material surfaces.

[0006] The object of the invention is to provide a system for creating different painterly design effects that is particularly easy to transport, compact and well-organized, so that beginners can quickly and easily access painting supplies to easily create many different painterly design effects.

[0007] According to the invention, this problem is solved by the subject matter of claim 1 and the subject matter of claim 2.

[0008] Specifically, the invention is based on the idea of ​​providing a system for creating various painterly effects, particularly mural effects, comprising different painting utensils and a box that can be closed with a lid. The painting utensils can be arranged in the box in such a way that they are held securely in place both vertically and horizontally. The painting utensils can include several different brushes, several containers with different paints, a bucket set with at least one bucket and interchangeable bucket inserts for mixing paints, and at least one painting surface in the form of a worktop. The worktop is preferably fitted securely into the box.

[0009] The advantage of this invention lies in the fact that all the painting supplies required for various artistic effects are stored compactly and neatly organized in a closed box. The supplies are held securely in place within the box, ensuring that the individual items remain organized even during transport. The box can also be designed to double as an easel. The system is therefore compact and multifunctional. The selection of painting supplies allows the user to employ many well-known painting techniques. In particular, the supplies contained in the box can be used for trompe-l'œil, gradient painting, and / or abstract painting. This fosters creativity and allows users to develop their own art and / or experiment with different creative approaches, potentially leading to a successful artistic career.

[0010] Preferably, the painting supplies are arranged, or can be arranged, in at least two levels within the box. This ensures that the painting supplies are particularly well organized within the box. It is preferably provided that a lower level contains sturdy and larger painting supplies, such as paint pots and / or supplies packaged in cardboard. For example, sheets of drawing paper packaged in a cardboard box could be arranged on a lower level.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment of the invention, at least one insert box is provided that securely holds functionally similar painting utensils and can be inserted into the box. Functionally similar painting utensils include, for example, brushes and / or paint rollers. Paint containers also constitute functionally similar painting utensils. Furthermore, masking and covering materials can be considered functionally similar painting utensils.

[0012] Preferably, two insert boxes of the same height are provided, with the first insert box being larger than the second, i.e., having a larger base. Having the insert boxes at the same height ensures that, when the insert boxes are arranged horizontally, for example, on the bottom shelf of painting supplies, a flat surface is created for additional painting supplies. The insert boxes are preferably open at the top, without lids, to allow quick access to the painting supplies inside. The insert boxes can be waterproof, making them suitable for mixing paints or washing brushes. While painting, the insert boxes can also serve as a storage area for painting supplies in use.

[0013] The first insert box can be sized to fill half of the box's interior base. This ensures that the insert box is held securely in place in at least three directions. The positioning of the individual art supplies is thus largely maintained even during transport, guaranteeing quick access to the necessary materials. The second insert box can cover a quarter of the box's base. This allows the second insert box to be positioned at a 90° angle to the first, with both boxes on the same plane. In this way, the second insert box is also held securely in place within the box.

[0014] Another preferred embodiment of the present invention is characterized in that the containers with different colors comprise the following: - at least one, in particular four, containers with 350 ml of mixed color, wherein the mixed color is in particular red, yellow, blue or black, and / or - a container with at least 1 kg, preferably 1.5 kg, of textured paint for plastic work and / or - a container with at least 0.75 kg, in particular 1 kg, of wall glaze for ultra-thin, transparent layers and / or - a container with at least 1 kg, preferably 1.5 kg, of highly opaque, white paint.

[0015] To create various design effects, it has been shown that different colors are needed in varying quantities. A particularly wide range of effects can be achieved when three basic colors are available in larger quantities: a textured color, a wall glaze, and a highly opaque white paint. Specifically, at least 1 kg of each of these basic colors is required. The basic colors are preferably transparent and / or white.

[0016] To achieve painterly design effects with vibrant colors, the system preferably includes mixing colors. It is sufficient to have four mixing colors in relatively small quantities, for example, 250 ml per color. Almost all other colors can be mixed from the red, yellow, and blue mixing colors. The black mixing color can be used to darken mixed colors. Preferably, the containers of mixing colors are arranged in a form-fitting manner within the second insert box.

[0017] As claimed in claim 1, the painting utensils comprise a, in particular a single, paint tray, a, in particular a single, paint roller handle and at least one of the following paint rollers, each of which can be combined with the paint roller: - A texture roller for creative texture work, - a foam roller for coatings and / or paintwork, - a polyamide roller for large-area painting and - a microfiber roller for varnishes.

[0018] The use of a single paint roller frame with multiple rollers is preferred because it limits the number of painting supplies required. This also reduces the mass of the filled box or system, making it easier to transport. Similarly, a single paint tray can be used to minimize the number of system components. The paint tray can be reusable for different rollers and / or different colors. The combination of individual rollers is preferred because it allows for a wide range of design effects. This significantly expands the design possibilities while requiring a relatively small number of painting supplies.

[0019] Furthermore, it is preferably provided that the painting surface has a size adapted to the inner surface of the box lid. The painting surface is preferably arranged as the top layer in the box and covers all other painting utensils. To ensure that the painting surface fits snugly into the box, its size is adapted to the inner surface of the box lid.

[0020] As claimed in claim 2, if the lid has an inner edge, it engages positively in a circumferential gap between the painting surface and an opening edge of the box. The lid is thus positively positioned in the box and simultaneously forms a positive stop for the painting surface, as the inner edge of the lid engages in the gap between the painting surface and the opening edge of the box. This ensures particularly good securing of the painting surface within the box.

[0021] In this context, it should be noted that the lid is preferably hinged to the box. The hinge can be a simple swivel joint. In any case, it is preferred that the lid be attached to the box via a hinged connection, thus preventing the lid from being lost. Additionally, a brief instruction leaflet can be included in the lid or in an intermediate layer between the lid and the painting surface, providing an overview of the possible design options offered by the system. This makes simple instructions for painting with the system's components easily accessible. The intermediate layer can, for example, be a foam mat that fills the space between the contents of the box and the lid, thus ensuring a tight fit within the box. The intermediate layer reduces movement of the painting materials and also provides noise insulation during transport of the system.

[0022] The painting surface is preferably a waterproof board with one rough side and one smooth side. The smooth side is particularly suitable for use as a painting surface. The system preferably also includes a container with at least 300 g, in particular at least 400 g, and in particular at least 500 g, of paste concentrate and several sheets of pre-pigmented painting paper. The paste concentrate can be used to adhere the painting paper to the smooth side of the painting surface. The smooth side allows the painted paper to be removed from the surface almost completely without leaving any residue. In this way, the painting surface forms a recyclable painting surface, which is particularly relevant from a sustainability perspective. The rough side, on the other hand, ensures that the painting surface can be positioned on a substrate, such as masking paper, cardboard, or newspaper, in a way that prevents it from slipping.

[0023] It is particularly advantageous if the total mass of the system, especially the box filled with painting supplies, does not exceed 20 kg, 17 kg, or 15 kg. This makes the system not only compact but also lightweight and therefore easily transportable. This allows beginners to easily use the system in different locations and thus implement the creative effects it can produce in various desired settings.

[0024] It is further preferred that the box contains only art supplies and at most two insert trays. The art supplies and the two insert trays can occupy at least 65%, particularly at least 75%, and particularly at least 85% of the box's internal volume. It is also advantageous to provide at most five additional outer packaging units, such as cardboard boxes, to hold individual art supplies. The form-fitting design of the art supplies within the box is preferably achieved even without additional outer packaging. Conversely, this means that the box comprises at most 15% air space or unused space. The internal volume of the box is thus utilized to the best possible extent to accommodate standard, commercially available art supplies. Generally, it is preferred that the system includes standard, commercially available art supplies, thus eliminating the need for custom-made items. This makes the system particularly cost-effective.

[0025] To protect individual art supplies, it can be advantageous to have custom-made outer packaging. In particular, outer packaging, preferably made of cardboard, is preferred for painting paper and / or paste. This packaging is precisely tailored to ensure a secure fit of the art supplies within the box. The size of the outer packaging is matched to the size of the other art supplies to allow for a virtually seamless, or at least form-fitting, fixation of all art supplies within the box.

[0026] The invention is explained in more detail below with reference to the accompanying schematic drawings. These show Fig. 1 an overview of the individual system components of a system according to the invention according to a preferred embodiment; Fig. 2 a top view of a box of the system according to the invention, in which the first level is filled with painting utensils; Fig. 3 a top view of the box according to Fig. 2, where a second level is also at least partially filled with painting supplies; and Fig. 4 a top view of the box according to Fig. 2, where the box is completely filled with all painting supplies.

[0027] Fig. Figure 1 shows an overview of all components of the system according to the invention. In particular, the system comprises several different painting utensils, and it is specifically provided that, in principle, no painting utensils are duplicated. Preferably, there are only four exceptions to this principle.

[0028] These exceptions concern bucket inserts for mixing paints, which may be present in multiple quantities. Furthermore, several, preferably three, stirring sticks for stirring the paints and several pouring aids for paints may be provided. Another exception is transport securing devices for containers of base colors, which may be present in multiple quantities, preferably as many as the containers of base colors.

[0029] Furthermore, no other exceptions are provided; all other painting utensils are available in single quantities.

[0030] The in Fig. The painting utensils shown in Figure 1 comprise, in particular, four containers with different mixed colors 1. Each container can hold a paint volume of 250 ml. Preferably, one red, one yellow, one blue, and one black mixed color 1 are provided. The containers for the mixed colors 1 are preferably designed as plastic bottles or plastic tubes.

[0031] Furthermore, the system includes three base colors, each with its own container, preferably in the form of a paint pot. A first paint pot preferably contains a textured paint 2. The paint pot containing the textured paint 2 can hold 1.5 kg of the textured paint 2. Another paint pot can contain a wall glaze 3 for ultra-thin, transparent layers. Preferably 1 kg of this wall glaze 3 is provided in the system. Finally, a third paint pot containing highly opaque white paint 4 can be provided. The third paint pot preferably contains 1.5 kg of the highly opaque white paint 4. To facilitate the removal of the base colors from the paint pots, pouring aids 5 are preferably provided for the textured paint 2, the wall glaze 3, and the highly opaque white paint 4.

[0032] Furthermore, transport securing devices 6 are provided for the base colors, in particular the textured paint 2, the wall glaze 3, and the white paint 4. The transport securing devices 6 are designed so that they can also be used for mixing paints or as brush rests. This saves on additional system components and thus costs. Moreover, this is advantageous in terms of sustainability. The system includes several stirring sticks 7, in particular three stirring sticks 7, which can be used for mixing paints.

[0033] Another component of the system is paste concentrate 8, which is preferably contained in a bottle with a fill mass of 500 g. The paste concentrate is intended for adhering painting paper 11 to the painting surface 33.

[0034] Furthermore, the system can include a canister containing effect glaze 9, which serves to prime, fix, or refine the painted surface. The refinement can result in a glossy or matte finish. Intermediate layers can be fixed using the effect glaze 9. Preferably, the canister comprises at least 500 ml, preferably 750 ml, preferably 1 l, and in particular 1.5 l, of effect glaze 9.

[0035] To facilitate efficient paint mixing, a bucket set (10) is provided, comprising a metal bucket and several, specifically three, interchangeable bucket inserts. The bucket inserts are preferably made of plastic and fit snugly to the inner contour of the metal bucket. Each plastic insert includes a lid for airtight sealing. The metal bucket has a volume of 2.5 liters. The plastic inserts have a similar internal volume, which is only smaller than the volume of the metal bucket by the volume of the plastic material in the respective insert. The use of plastic inserts and buckets is advantageous because such buckets do not rust and therefore do not impair paint quality. The metal bucket, on the other hand, is more robust and, thanks to a sturdy handle, allows for easy carrying of the filled plastic inserts.

[0036] The metal bucket or bucket inserts can be used for various purposes. For example, a plastic insert can be adapted for mixing paste. The plastic inserts, or at least some of them, can also be used for washing brushes, especially for pre-washing and main washing during painting. Ideally, all plastic inserts or bucket inserts should be closable with a lid.

[0037] Furthermore, the containers with primary colors, specifically the paint pots for the primary colors, can each be combined with a pouring aid. This aid not only facilitates the dispensing of the primary colors but also keeps the rims of the paint pots clean. In particular, the pouring aid prevents paint from flowing into the ring-shaped indentation that is typically found at the top of such paint pots. This also ensures that the paint pots can be sealed airtight with a lid after use and that any paint residue on the rim of the pots does not dry out. The latter poses the risk that the dried paint residue could fall into the paint pot when the lid is opened and contaminate the primary color inside. To ensure consistently clean working conditions, the kit includes several, and ideally at least three, pouring aids.

[0038] The painting paper 11 included in the system is preferably pre-pigmented. The painting paper can be supplied as a roll or as individual sheets rolled into a roll. Gold masking tape 12 is provided for masking the painting surface or intermediate layers, ensuring extra-sharp edges. Masking tape 13 is also provided, suitable for masking edges or for special gluing techniques. A natural sponge 14 is included for creating painterly effects, such as stippling. A brush 15 is provided for further creative effects, such as a stippling technique. The system also includes a wood graining tool 16 for creating wood grain effects.

[0039] A key component of the system is a brush set 17, which includes several painting brushes. The brush set 17 can be arranged in a case.

[0040] To remove excess material, for example when using the slate technique, a disc scraper 18 is included in the system. The system also includes other brushes, in particular a flat brush 19, which is especially suitable for rinsing buckets. A brush known as a Modler 20 is provided to enable painting over large areas. A flat brush 21 for painting large areas is also included in the system.

[0041] The system also includes a utility knife 22 and a Venetian trowel 23. The Venetian trowel allows for large-area plastering or other plastering techniques. A plastering trowel 24 is also included for mixing plaster or texturing surfaces. Further plastering techniques are made possible by the inclusion of a Japanese spatula set 25 in the system.

[0042] A wide variety of design effects are made possible by the use of paint rollers. The system includes several paint rollers, each of which can be mounted on a single paint roller frame 26. The paint roller frame 26 thus forms a universal tool that can be fitted with different paint rollers to create various design effects. The different paint rollers preferably include a textured roller 27, a foam roller 28, a polyamide roller 29, and a microfiber roller 30. The textured roller 27 has a relatively coarse structure and is used to create creative textured effects. The foam roller 28 has a superfine structure that is well suited for producing fine coatings or varnishes. The short-pile polyamide roller 29 enables painting over large areas. Such polyamide rollers 29 are known as classic paint rollers.Finally, the system includes a microfiber roller 30, which is particularly useful for varnishes or thin paints. A paint tray 31 is preferably provided to ensure the paints are applied smoothly to the rollers.

[0043] A basic principle of the system's operation is to use a painting surface 33, essentially a worktop, as a base. The painting paper 11, or individual sheets of the painting paper 11, are preferably adhered to the painting surface 33 using the paste concentrate 8. To ensure a bubble-free bond between the painting paper 11 and the painting surface 33, the system also includes a wallpaper roller 32. Using the wallpaper roller 32, the painting paper 11 can be rolled smoothly onto the painting surface 33, thus pressing out any air bubbles from under the painting paper 11 and ensuring a flat, bubble-free bond between the painting paper 11 and the painting surface 33.

[0044] The use of drawing paper 11, which can be glued onto and removed from a painting surface 33, is advantageous from a sustainability perspective. In particular, the drawing paper 11 can be painted over multiple times, so that a failed attempt does not necessarily lead to the immediate disposal of the drawing paper 11. The outer packaging contained in the box 36, which ensures a secure fit within the box 36 during transport, can also be used as splash protection while painting. This multifunctionality conserves resources. Even if a user does not enjoy creative projects with the painting supplies contained in the box 36, the box 36 can also be used for other storage purposes in the household. It is also in the interest of sustainability that the paints contained in this system, especially the primary and / or mixed colors, are preferably water-based, specifically solvent-free.For example, the mixed colors can be oil paints. Oil paints are particularly suitable for landscape painting.

[0045] Furthermore, the system comprises a first insert box 35 and a second insert box 34. The first insert box 35 is larger than the second insert box 34. In particular, the first insert box 35 can be twice as large as the second insert box 34. The height of the insert boxes 34 and 35 is preferably identical.

[0046] A key aspect of the system is the box 36, which has a lid 37. The lid 37 is preferably fixed but hinged to the box 36. The box 36 has an internal base area dimensioned such that all system components can be positioned within the box 36 in a form-fitting manner. In particular, the first insert box 35 preferably has a size that fills half of the internal base area of ​​the box 36. The second insert box 34 preferably fills one-quarter of the internal base area of ​​the box 36. Thus, the two insert boxes can be arranged within the box rotated 90° relative to each other and are therefore fitted into the box 36 in a form-fitting manner.

[0047] How Fig. As shown in Figure 2, several painting utensils are preferably arranged in a form-fitting manner in a first level of the box 36. The first level within the box 36 preferably comprises the bucket set 10 with the metal bucket and the several plastic inserts, as well as their lids. The three basic colors, in particular the textured color 2, the wall glaze 3, and the white paint 4, are also arranged in the first level of the box 36. The basic colors are each contained in outer packaging in the form of cardboard boxes or transport securing devices 6. The painting paper 11 is also arranged in the first storage level of the box 36, the painting paper 11 being protected within the box 36 by being placed in an outer packaging in the form of a cardboard box. The second insert box 34 is also arranged in the first level of the box 36, the second insert box 34 containing the mixing colors 1 and the wallpaper roller 32.A remaining gap between the cardboard of the painting paper 11, the second insert box 34, and the walls of the box 36 is filled by a cardboard box that holds the paste concentrate 8. Additionally, the pouring aids 5 can also be arranged in the cardboard box next to the paste concentrate 8. In the illustrated embodiment, the painting paper 11 is positioned centrally between the second insert box 34 and at least one base color. The paste concentrate 8, arranged in the outer packaging, is shown in the view according to [reference missing]. Fig. 2 positioned above the second insert box 34. Alternatively, it is also possible that the second insert box 34 and the paste concentrate 8 are arranged centrally in the box 36. In this case, the drawing paper 11 is preferably in the picture plane according to Fig. 2 is placed on the right side of the narrow side wall of box 36, thus filling the gap between insert box 34 and the right side wall of box 36 in a form-fitting manner.

[0048] Fig. Figure 3 shows box 36 with further filling, with the first level according to Fig. 2. A further level of painting utensils is arranged. In the second level, the first insert box 35 is arranged, resting on the second insert box 34. The first insert box 35 holds the paint tray 31, the various paint rollers 27, 28, 29, 30, and the paint roller frame 26. Furthermore, the brush 15, the wood graining tool 16, the brush set 17, and the disc scraper 18 are arranged in the first insert box 35. The other brushes, in particular the flat brush 19, the modeling brush 20, and the flat brush 21, are also arranged in the first insert box 35. Additionally, the first insert box 35 holds the Venetian trowel, the plastering iron, and the Japanese spatula set 25.

[0049] To make the best possible use of the volume of the box, it may be provided that the gold masking tape 12, the crepe tape 13 and the natural sponge 14 are arranged in one of the bucket inserts or in the tin bucket of the bucket set 10.

[0050] The first level also contains the effect glaze 9. The effect glaze 9 is contained in a canister that fills a gap between the bucket set, a base color, the second insert box 34, and one wall of box 36. It is clearly visible that all painting utensils on the first level are held securely in place horizontally within box 36.

[0051] Fig.Figure 4 shows another top view of the box 36, with the painting surface 33, or work surface, inserted into the box 36 as the final system component. It can be seen that the painting surface 36 is arranged essentially flat on the underlying levels of painting utensils. The painting utensils are thus arranged in the box 36 in such a way that a substantially flat surface is formed for the painting surface 33. The painting surface 33 is designed as a work surface, the dimensions of which are such that a gap 39 exists between the edge of the painting surface 33 and an opening rim 38 of the box 36. The gap 39 is large enough that an inner rim 40 of the lid 37 can engage in the gap 39 in a form-fitting manner. The painting surface 33 is thus held in a form-fitting manner within the inner rim 40 of the lid 37. At the same time, the lid 37 is positively connected to the box 36, provided that the lid 37 is closed.Box 36 can also be used as an easel, especially when used together with the lid.

[0052] On the second level of the box, particularly to the side of the first insert box 35, an instruction manual, for example in the form of a book, can be placed, explaining various creative painting techniques in more detail. Using this manual, beginners can easily recreate a wide variety of design effects with the available system components. The manual can be thick enough to compensate for the height difference between the primary colors 2, 3, and 4 and the first insert box 35. Alternatively, or in addition to the manual, paint bucket lids can be provided to the side of the first insert box 35 to achieve this leveling effect. This ensures that the painting surface 33 has a flat base.

[0053] Painting supplies may also include a spray bottle. The spray bottle can be used to mist the painting surface with water, allowing for additional design effects. The spray bottle is preferably made of glass so that it can be easily reused. The capacity of the spray bottle can be between 30 ml and 100 ml.

[0054] To achieve a particularly secure fit, an additional intermediate layer, for example in the form of a foam mat, can be provided between the painting surface 33 and the lid 37, or between the painting surface 33 and the painting utensils underneath. This further secures the contents of the box 36. The intermediate layer can also be provided with instructions for using the individual system components to achieve effective design results.

[0055] Box 36 can be equipped with carrying handles. Preferably, at least one carrying handle is provided on each narrow side of box 36. The carrying handles can be foldable or swiveling so that they lie close to a side wall of box 36 when not in use. This facilitates the transport of box 36.

[0056] Box 36 is advantageously watertight. Liquid could only leak between the lid 37 and box 36. The leak-proof design of box 36 increases transport safety.

[0057] Improved transport and storage safety is achieved by making the box 36 stackable. In particular, the lid 37 can have an outer, protruding rim that can engage in a recess on the bottom of the box 36. This allows several identical boxes 36 to be stacked securely on top of each other.

[0058] Box 36 is also suitable for use as a painting surface or to raise a work surface. The painting surface 33 preferably has a thickness greater than the inner edge 40 of the lid 37. This allows the lid 37 to be used as a work surface, with the lid 37 placed on the box 36 with its outer surface facing downwards. The inner surface of the lid 37 then accommodates the painting surface 33, so that the painting surface 33 is raised by the height of the box 36, thus enabling ergonomic working.

[0059] The compact design of the box is particularly advantageous for creative work in confined spaces, for example on a kitchen or living room table with a small surface area, e.g. max. 1.5 square meters.

[0060] In general, for all embodiments of the present invention, the painting utensils in box 36 may also include a filler, preferably packaged in a bag. The filler may be, in particular, in powder form. The use of marble dust as a filler is especially preferred. The filler may be formulated so that it can be mixed with an adhesive, in particular with the paste concentrate 8, to form a paste-like mass.
