US Patent:

Filed:

Sep 9, 1977

Appl. No.:

5/831807

Inventors:

Richard Farrell - Williston Park NY

International Classification:

B65D 6132

US Classification:

366192

Abstract:

The pneumatically operated apparatus includes a transparent, calibrated paint container to facilitate measuring of the required proportions of color and solvents. A vertically displaceable and rotatable member extends through and seals an opening in the bottom of the container. The member has a hollow body forming a paint passage. An agitator is sealingly mounted on the end thereof extending through the opening and into the container, the other end being opened. An aperture is provided in the wall of the member spaced a short distance from the agitator. A friction surface is provided for connecting a pneumatically operated drive to the member to rotate same. The member is vertically displaceable between a mixing position, wherein the friction surface is effective to engage the member and rotate same and the aperture is situated below the container seal to prevent paint flow and a dispensing position, wherein the friction surface is disengaged from the member and the aperture is at least partially situated above the seal in the container, so as to provide a passage to permit gravity to cause the paint to flow through the body and out the bottom opened end thereof.
