[Brief explanation of the drawing] 【0010】 [Figure 1] This is a perspective view showing the external structure of a paint splatter prevention device. [Figure 2] This is an unfolded view of the enclosure body that forms the paint splatter prevention device. [Figure 3] This is an explanatory diagram showing the usage of paint splatter prevention equipment placed around a 18-liter can. [Figure 4] This is an explanatory diagram showing the enclosure in its first folded state. [Figure 5] This is an explanatory diagram showing the enclosure in its second folded state. [Modes for carrying out the invention] 【0011】 Figure 1 is a perspective view showing the external structure of the paint splatter prevention device 100. Figure 2 is an unfolded view of the enclosure body 110 that forms the paint splatter prevention device 100. Figure 3 is an explanatory diagram showing the paint splatter prevention device 100 in use, arranged around a 18-liter can 600. The paint splatter prevention device 100 is a device that prevents paint from splattering when stirring the paint contained in the 18-liter can 600. The paint splatter prevention device 100 comprises an enclosure body 110. 【0012】 The enclosure body 110 of the paint splatter prevention device 100 forms the sides of a square prism, large enough to surround the front, back, left, and right sides of a 18-liter can 600ml. The enclosure body 110 is made of, for example, corrugated plastic. The thickness of the corrugated plastic may be 2.0 to 3.0 mm, or for example, 2.5 mm. 【0013】 The enclosure body 110 includes a first panel 112, a second panel 114, a third panel 116, a fourth panel 118, a first connecting part 120, a second connecting part 122, a third connecting part 124, and a fourth connecting part 126. 【0014】 Each panel 112-118 forms a rectangle with the axial direction of the square prism as its longitudinal direction. Each panel 112-118 is a flat plate-like member and has a longitudinal direction and a transverse direction. The longitudinal direction may, for example, coincide with the grain direction of corrugated plastic. The transverse direction is perpendicular to the longitudinal direction. The first panel 112 may be used as the panel located on the front side when the enclosure body 110 is formed into a square tube shape. The third panel 116 may be positioned opposite the first panel 112 in the circumferential direction and used as the panel located on the back side. The second panel 114 and the fourth panel 118 may be located between the first panel 112 and the third panel 116 and used as panels that constitute the left and right sides, respectively. The circumferential arrangement of panels 112 to 118 may be in the order of the first panel 112, the second panel 114, the third panel 116, and the fourth panel 118. However, the arrangement order and positional relationship of panels 112 to 118 are not limited to this and may be changed depending on the application. 【0015】 Each panel 112-118 has a predetermined height dimension in the longitudinal direction. The longitudinal height of each panel 112-118 is set to be greater than the height of the 18-liter can 600, as shown in Figure 3. The lower end of each panel 112-118 is positioned near the bottom of the 18-liter can 600 when the enclosure body 110 is in use. The upper end of each panel 112-118 is positioned above the upper end of the 18-liter can 600. The longitudinal height of the first panel 112 may be set to a different value from the longitudinal heights of the second panel 114, the third panel 116, and the fourth panel 118. The longitudinal height of the first panel 112 may be set to a smaller value than the longitudinal heights of the second panel 114, the third panel 116, and the fourth panel 118. The longitudinal heights of the second panel 114, the third panel 116, and the fourth panel 118 may be approximately the same. Each panel 112 to 118 has a predetermined width dimension in the short direction. The width dimension of each panel 112 to 118 in the short direction constitutes the circumferential dimension when the enclosure body 110 is formed in a rectangular cylindrical shape. The width dimension of each panel 112 to 118 is set according to the outer diameter dimension of the 18-liter can 600. The width dimension of each panel 112 to 118 is a dimension that defines the inner circumference dimension of the enclosure body 110. 【0016】 An overlapping portion may be formed on one circumferential end of the enclosure body 110 to overlap with an adjacent panel. For example, as shown in Figure 2, a strip-shaped overlapping portion 116a may be provided on one end edge of the third panel 116 to overlap with the fourth panel 118. The overlapping portion 116a is positioned to overlap with the end of the fourth panel 118 when the enclosure body 110 is formed into a rectangular tube shape. The joint between the overlapping portion 116a and the overlapping fourth panel 118 may be formed by heat welding. Heat welding is performed, for example, by using a heat sealing machine to clamp both members with a heated pressurizing member and heat-pressure them for a predetermined temperature and time. The heating is set to a temperature that softens the surface layer of the corrugated plastic. Pressurization is performed over the entire overlapping portion or over a predetermined width. The heat-welded portion may be formed in a straight line along the longitudinal direction. The heat-welded portion may be a continuous strip or may consist of multiple intermittently formed welding points. The welding width is set within the width dimension of the overlapping portion 116a. As a result, the enclosure body 110 forms a cylindrical structure in which the third panel 116 and the fourth panel 118 are integrated in the circumferential direction. The width dimension of the overlapping portion 116a may be set to a size that ensures the multiple panels overlap, for example, it may be around several tens of millimeters. 【0017】 The first connecting portion 120 is a portion that connects the first panel 112 and the second panel 114 to each other. The first connecting portion 120 is formed along the boundary between the two panels 112 and 114. The first connecting portion 120 extends linearly along the longitudinal direction of each panel 112 and 114. The first connecting portion 120 may be formed by thinning a portion of the corrugated plastic. Alternatively, the first connecting portion 120 may be composed of groove-shaped fold lines formed on the front and back surfaces of the corrugated plastic. The first connecting portion 120 may also be a fold line formed along the grain direction of the corrugated plastic. The first connecting portion 120 is provided at a position that continuously connects one side edge of the first panel 112 and one side edge of the second panel 114. The first connecting portion 120 is configured so that the first panel 112 and the second panel 114 become one unit. The first connecting portion 120 functions as a bending axis when the enclosure body 110 is folded from its unfolded state into a three-dimensional shape. The first connecting portion 120 is positioned at a location corresponding to the edge of the rectangular tube when the enclosure body 110 is formed into a rectangular tube shape. 【0018】 The second connecting portion 122 is the part that connects the second panel 114 and the third panel 116 to each other. The second connecting portion 122 is formed along the boundary between the two panels 114 and 116. The second connecting portion 122 extends linearly along the longitudinal direction of each panel 114 and 116. The second connecting portion 122 may be formed by thinning a portion of the corrugated plastic. Alternatively, the second connecting portion 122 may be composed of groove-shaped fold lines formed on the front and back surfaces of the corrugated plastic. The second connecting portion 122 may also be a fold line formed along the grain direction of the corrugated plastic. The second connecting portion 122 is provided at a position that continuously connects one side edge of the second panel 114 and one side edge of the third panel 116. The second connecting portion 122 is configured so that the second panel 114 and the third panel 116 become one unit. The second connecting portion 122 functions as a bending axis when the enclosure body 110 is folded from its unfolded state into a three-dimensional shape. The second connecting portion 122 is positioned at a location corresponding to the edge of the rectangular tube when the enclosure body 110 is formed into a rectangular tube shape. 【0019】 The third connecting portion 124 is the part that connects the third panel 116 and the fourth panel 118 to each other. The third connecting portion 124 is formed along the boundary between the two panels 116 and 118. The third connecting portion 124 extends linearly along the longitudinal direction of each panel 116 and 118. The third connecting portion 124 may be formed by thinning a portion of the corrugated plastic. Alternatively, the third connecting portion 124 may be composed of groove-shaped fold lines formed on the front and back surfaces of the corrugated plastic. The third connecting portion 124 may also be a fold line formed along the grain direction of the corrugated plastic. The third connecting portion 124 is provided at a position that continuously connects one side edge of the third panel 116 and one side edge of the fourth panel 118. The third connecting portion 124 is configured so that the third panel 116 and the fourth panel 118 become one unit. The third connecting portion 124 functions as a bending axis when the enclosure body 110 is folded from its unfolded state into a three-dimensional shape. The third connecting portion 124 is positioned at a location corresponding to the edge of the rectangular tube when the enclosure body 110 is formed into a rectangular tube shape. 【0020】 The fourth connecting portion 126 is a portion that connects the fourth panel 118 and the first panel 112 to each other. The fourth connecting portion 126 is formed along the boundary portion between the two panels 118 and 112. The fourth connecting portion 126 extends linearly along the longitudinal direction of each of the panels 118 and 112. The fourth connecting portion 126 may be formed by thinning a part of the plastic corrugated cardboard. Alternatively, the fourth connecting portion 126 may be constituted by a groove-shaped folding line formed on the front and back surfaces of the plastic corrugated cardboard. The fourth connecting portion 126 may be a fold formed along the grain direction of the plastic corrugated cardboard. The fourth connecting portion 126 is provided at a position that continuously connects one side edge of the fourth panel 118 and one side edge of the first panel 112. The fourth connecting portion 126 is configured such that the fourth panel 118 and the first panel 112 are integrated. The fourth connecting portion 126 is a portion that functions as a bending axis when folding the enclosure body 110 from the unfolded state to a three-dimensional shape. The fourth connecting portion 126 is disposed at a position corresponding to the ridge line of the square tube when the enclosure body 110 is formed into a square tube shape. 【0021】 The first connecting portion 120 and the third connecting portion 124 are configured to be bendable so as to be in the first folded state. FIG. 4 is an explanatory view showing the enclosure body 110 in the first folded state. The first folded state is a state in which the first panel 112 and the second panel 114 overlap each other and the third panel 116 and the fourth panel 118 overlap each other, as shown in FIG. 4. In the first folded state, the first panel 112 and the second panel 114 form a set of overlapping bodies, and the third panel 116 and the fourth panel 118 form another set of overlapping bodies. These two sets of overlapping bodies can be arranged in a substantially parallel posture to each other. In the first folded state, the enclosure body 110 has a form in which the dimension in the width direction is reduced compared to the unfolded state. The first folded state is positioned as a folding form at a stage before the enclosure body 110 is further folded. 【0022】 The second connecting part 122 and the fourth connecting part 126 are configured to be refractable so as to be in the second folded state. FIG. 5 is an explanatory diagram showing the enclosure body 110 in the second folded state. The second folded state is a state in which the first panel 112 and the fourth panel 118 further overlap each other from the first folded state, as shown in FIG. 5. In the second folded state, the first panel 112 is refracted with respect to the fourth panel 118 around the fourth connecting part 126, and the first panel 112 and the fourth panel 118 are arranged to face each other. As a result, the first panel 112 is overlapped so as to be positioned above or below the fourth panel 118. The first panel 112 and the fourth panel 118 are arranged so that at least a part thereof overlaps, and preferably overlap substantially over the entire surface. Further, the second panel 114 and the third panel 116 are arranged while maintaining the overlapping relationship in the first folded state. In the second folded state, the first panel 112, the second panel 114, the third panel 116, and the fourth panel 118 are laminated in a state of being close to each other. As a result, the enclosure body 110 exhibits a flat plate form in which a plurality of panels are overlapped. The second folded state is defined as a folded form following the first folded state. The enclosure body 110 becomes a folded form by sequentially passing through the first folded state and the second folded state. 【0023】 According to the paint splash prevention device 100 described above, a rectangular tube-shaped enclosure body 110 surrounding the front, rear, left, and right of the one-gallon can 600 can be easily formed, effectively shielding the paint splash generated during stirring, and can be folded in two steps, so that it can be compactly stored and carried after use. 【0024】 Further, according to the paint splash prevention device 100 described above, each of the connecting parts 120 to 126 can be smoothly bent, and damage due to repeated bending can be suppressed, so that the durability is improved and it can be stably used for a long period of time. 【0025】 Furthermore, the paint splatter prevention device 100 described above can provide the enclosure body 110 with appropriate rigidity, allowing it to stably maintain its cylindrical shape during use, while also preventing an excessive increase in weight. 【0026】 In addition, the paint splatter prevention device 100 described above effectively shields against paint splatter, and because an opening is formed at the upper part of the first panel 112, it becomes easier to insert and remove the stirring rod, and the state of the paint during stirring can be easily observed. 【0027】 The technologies disclosed herein are not limited to the embodiments, examples, and modifications described above. The technologies disclosed herein can be implemented in various configurations without departing from the spirit of the invention. The technical features of the embodiments, examples, and modifications described above that correspond to the technical features of each form described in the summary of the invention may be substituted and combined in order to solve some or all of the above-described problems or to achieve some or all of the above-described effects.
