CONTAINER, SEALING CAP AND METHOD FOR SEALING A NOZZLE TIP OF A CURABLE LIQUID DISPENSING CONTAINER

摘要

A cap (10) for curable material dispensing containers (14) prevents the material (18) from curing after opening the dispensing nozzle (12). Thus, when mounted on a partially-dispensed container (14), the nozzle cap (10) preserves flowable materials (18) such as air-cured glues, sealants, caulks, etc. In particular, a deformable sealant (44) in the cap remains pliant, conforming in and/or around the nozzle tip (32) to create a seal. A retention member (54) frictionally grips the nozzle (12) to prevent inadvertent release of the cap (10), yet accommodates nozzle tips (32) cut to varying lengths.
