| 20080197209 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR DISPENSING A MIXTURE OF A GAS AND A FLUID MATERIAL - Apparatus and methods for generating and dispensing a mixture containing a pressurized gas and a fluid material. The apparatus includes a mixing device having a mixing chamber and a mixer inside the mixing chamber. A gas injection device, which is coupled with the mixing device, injects the pressurized gas into the fluid material in the mixing chamber. The mixer operates to combine the pressurized gas with the fluid material to form a mixture, which is subsequently dispensed from a dispenser coupled with the mixing device. | 08-21-2008 |
| 20090007845 | MOUNTING SYSTEMS FOR AN ADHESIVE APPLICATION SYSTEM AND METHODS FOR APPLYING ADHESIVE - An apparatus for use with an adhesive dispenser configured to apply an adhesive to an edge of a moving substrate. The mounting system includes a support post and a main body. The main body is configured to support the adhesive dispenser and is coupled to the support post, with the main body being configured to deflect the adhesive dispenser in a first direction and in a second direction transverse to the first direction upon contact of the substrate with the adhesive dispenser. | 01-08-2009 |
| 20090095730 | ADHESIVE DISPENSING SYSTEM WITH SPACED PORTS AND RELATED METHODS - An adhesive melter includes an inlet port, an outlet port, and an interior configured to heat and hold adhesive pellets. The melter includes a lid for providing access to the interior and the outlet port communicates with the interior. An intake conduit is coupled to the inlet port and is configured to deliver forced air and adhesive pellets to the interior. An exhaust conduit is coupled to the outlet port and is configured to remove the forced air from the interior and to receive a filter for trapping particles of the adhesive pellets borne by the forced air. The outlet port and the inlet port are non-concentric but closely spaced and centrally located on the lid and the outlet port is spaced from the inlet port so as to cause the forced air to travel in a generally U-shaped path within the interior of the melter. | 04-16-2009 |
| 20090188604 | NOZZLE AND RELATED APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR DISPENSING MOLTEN THERMOPLASTIC MATERIAL - A nozzle for dispensing molten thermoplastic material includes non-circular outlets spaced apart from one another in a predetermined pattern. The nozzle may be used to dispense patterns of adhesive that form closed geometric shapes, such as for use in making hermetic seals. | 07-30-2009 |
