Adhesive applicator and method for cigarette-to-filter adhesion and similar applications.

摘要

This disclosure is concerned with enabling the use of multiple liquid adhesive nozzles (7 min ) principally to provide continuous uniform adhesive layers (C), particularly in relatively small items such as cigarette filter tips or the like, wherein a critically oriented adhesive shear surface (11 min ) adjacent the nozzles causes the plurality of adhesive beads (2) simultaneously deposited by the nozzles (7 min ) to merge into a full, continuous, uniform coating, (C) and with additional control features provided to control the degree of merger from separate adjacent beads to uniform merged coating.
