Apparatus for moving an adhesive applicator

摘要

An adhesive applicator for applying an air-curable adhesive to sheets of paper has a nozzle that normally is located in a storage position with the end of the nozzle inserted into a liquid in a sump. This prevents adhesive material in the end of the nozzle from drying out or caking and thereby clogging the end of the nozzle. When the nozzle is to be used for applying adhesive, the nozzle is lifted out of the sump, the sump is pivoted away from the nozzle, and the nozzle is then moved into an operating position for applying the adhesive.
