APPLICATOR TIP FOR DISPENSING LIQUID ADHESIVE TO SEAM ADJACENT LAYERS OF FLOORCOVERING SHEETING

摘要

The applicator tip is used by inserting it between the side edges of the adjacent layers of floorcovering sheeting which are to be seamed. The tip is pulled along the line of abutment and wets the side edges with liquid adhesive. The tip comprises an upright body having a bottom foot portion having wedges for upraising and tilting marginal portions of the floorcovering as they pass therebeneath, an intermediate ankle portion that is relatively narrow, and an upper leg portion adapted to connect with a squeeze bottle containing the adhesive. A flow passageway extends through the leg portion and into the ankle portion and has side-opening outlets in the side surfaces of the ankle portion. Thus the adhesive is discharged laterally relative to the seam. Means are provided to press against the top surface of the upraised marginal portions to guide the side edges into close engagement with the outlets.
