Abstract:
A fluid operated system of modular guns for extruding or spraying liquids such as molten adhesives. The system includes multiple guns in the form of readily removable cylindrical modules that mount in apertures of a fixed service block or manifold which receives the supply lines for the liquid and the gun operating pressurized fluid. The service block and guns have passages which register when the system is assembled whereby the guns may be easily removed from the fixed service block and replaced without disconnecting any fluid lines or other service equipment.
Abstract:
A fluid-operated modular apparatus for extruding and applying viscous liquids such as molten adhesives. The apparatus includes a gun in the form of a readily removable module that attaches to a fixed service block module which receives the supply lines for the viscous liquid and the operating air for example. The service block and gun have passages which register when the apparatus is assembled whereby the gun may be easily removed from the fixed service block and replaced without disconnecting any fluid lines or other service equipment.
