Cleaning containers, in particular for cleaning the individual elements of tubular pens

"The invention relates to a cleaning container, especially for cleaning the individual elements of tube pens, with a container part, a lid part and one in the container part; etchable, permeable Intermediate part for receiving the elements to be cleaned, which is held in the axial direction of the cleaning container

In a known cleaning container of this type (DT-Gbm 7 207 146) the intermediate part was inserted into the container part, and the lid part became sealing on the intermediate part attached so that a Griffraud between the container part and

7414942 11/06/75

Lid part protruded outwards. The individual elements of Tubular pens are used, and these individual elements were optionally attached to the inner surface of the Lid part attached, annular ribs held against axial movements in their position.

To clean the individual elements of tubular pens inserted into the intermediate part, the closed, a cleaning liquid containing cleaning container upside down so that it stood on the lid part and the cleaning liquid completely surrounded the individual elements in order to loosen the solidified ink residues. After some time the cleaning container was turned over again so that the cleaning liquid in the container part and outside of the Area of the individual elements to be cleaned was located. Then the cover part was removed and the intermediate part on The edge of the handle loosened from the container part and held under running water, so that all dirt and cleaning fluid residues Rinsed off the intermediate part and the line elements became.

This known cleaning container fulfills all the requirements that have to be met by such a cleaning container are, because in particular it enables the cleaned elements to be removed from the cleaning container without

these would have to be touched directly in order to rinse them off to remove dirt and cleaning fluid residues. The only difficulty with this previously known cleaning container is that occasionally after removing the Cleaning liquid adhering to the cover part on the upper edge of the intermediate part runs down the outer surface of the intermediate part and thus reaches the area of the grip edge, which thereby becomes dirty. Precisely such dirt deposits in the area of the grip edge should, however, be avoided so that the user clean the individual elements of tubular pens without getting your fingers dirty.

In contrast, the invention relates to a cleaning container of the type mentioned at the beginning, which is characterized in that the The intermediate part is completely enclosed by these two parts when the cover part is placed on the container part and that Lid part and intermediate part are connected to one another such that they can be displaced with respect to one another.

In the cleaning container according to the invention, there is no between The container part and the cover part protruding handle part are more present, but the intermediate part is completely in the container interior locked in. In this case, the cover part, which is slidably connected to the intermediate part, serves as the handle, so that the cover part

7414942 11/06/75

and the intermediate part are lifted out of the container part together after the cleaning process, and then after a corresponding one Shift against each other to have such a distance from each other that the intermediate part with the individual elements used can be cleaned under running water while the unit of cover part and intermediate part is held on the cover part, the outer surface of which is not exposed to any contamination from cleaning fluid or ink residues.

A container consisting of a container part, a lid part and an intermediate part is already known (US Pat. No. 2,664,854) which the permeable intermediate part is completely enclosed by these two parts when the cover part is placed on the container part is, but is the intermediate part, for example, to hold artificial flies to be used for fishing serves * not connected to the cover part, so that the elements wetted by the liquid contained in the container either must be taken directly from the intermediate part or together with the entire intermediate part wetted by the liquid must be lifted out of the container part. Should this known container serve as a cleaning container, so soiling of the user's fingers could not be avoided at all.

For the connection of the intermediate part and Djckelteil in a $ advantageous embodiment of the invention, on the inside of '] a cover portion extending through the intermediate part of pin ί

be provided, and the intermediate part and pin are in axial] The direction of the pin can be displaced to a limited extent relative to one another. I.

A particularly simple assembly results when the free The end of the pin is barb-shaped, the barb area of the pin preferably in the axial plane of the Pin is slotted and compressible. This allows the pin to be pushed through a corresponding opening in the intermediate part and the barbed hook or hooks prevent accidental separation of the two teliles.

To simplify production, the pin and cover part are preferred formed in one piece.

As with the previously mentioned cleaning container the intermediate part should be in the upper area of the cleaning container, so that the elements to be cleaned are on the Bottom surface of the container part standing cleaning container are not in contact with the cleaning liquid, but when on the container standing on the upper surface of the lid part can be completely surrounded by the cleaning liquid. To this with the To achieve cleaning cups according to the invention, can be molded on the inner wall of the container part, in the axial direction

running ribs may be provided to limit the movement of the intermediate part. These ribs hold the inserted intermediate part in the upper area of the container part.

The invention is explained in more detail below with reference to the figures showing an exemplary embodiment.

Figure 1 shows a section through a cleaning container according to the invention.

Figure 2 shows the cleaning container from Figure 1 in an inverted position, in which the individual elements to be cleaned from the Cleaning liquid are surrounded.

FIG. 3 shows the container part of the cleaning container, partially broken away according to Figure 1.

FIG. 4 shows the cover part and the intermediate part of the cleaning container according to FIG. 1, which are connected to one another and shown in FIG Are shifted against each other.

The cleaning container shown consists of a container part 1, a lid part 2 and a can be inserted into the container interior intermediate portion 3. The container part 1 has on its inner wall in the axial direction extending ribs 7 that are formed integrally with the preferably injection-molded from plastic container part. 1 The upper edges of the ribs 7 serve as a support for the inserted intermediate part 3 , as can be seen in particular in FIG.

At the upper edge of the container part 1 there is an external thread, so that the cover part 2 can be screwed on with a corresponding internal thread. To achieve a complete seal an annular seal 8 is also inserted into the cover part, which when the cover part 2 and the container part are connected 1 is pressed sealingly against the upper edge of the container part.

The intermediate part 3 has a number of sockets IO for receiving of individual elements of tube pens to be cleaned, of which in Figure 1 a tube pen tip and a cylinder body is shown. These elements are prevented from falling out by an annular rib 9 formed on the inner surface of the cover the quivers 11 secured.

In the middle of the intermediate part 3 there is provided an opening delimited by an annular wall 10 through which a pin Ί extends. This pin * J is integral with the also preferably made Plastic injection-molded cover part 2 and has at its free end two barb-like elements 5 and 6, which through an incision lying in the axial plane of the pin 4 from one another are separated. This allows the elements 5 and 6 to be pressed together and the free end of the pin can through the central opening of the intermediate part and thus brought into the position according to FIGS. 1 and 2. The barb-like elements 5 and 6 then prevent unintentional separation of intermediate parts
