Fastener-coating tools comprise a non-permeable body and a permeable body that laps over at least a portion of an outer surface of the non-permeable body, laps over all of a terminal surface of the non-permeable body, laps over at least a portion of an inner surface of the non-permeable body, spans an internal cavity of the non-permeable body, and defines a fastener cavity that is sized and shaped to receive a portion of a fastener assembly to be coated.

A mud pumping apparatus that can be removably coupled to a container the mud was originally provided in when first obtained by the user. The mud may be mastic, mortar, grout, joint compound, spackle, or the like. The apparatus may be sized to be used with various standard sized containers, and adjustably powered and controllable to be used with different types, consistencies, and viscosities of spreadable material.

An adapter is configured to be mounted onto or otherwise coupled to a hot-melt adhesive dispenser. The adapter may include a body defining at least a first inlet channel, a second inlet channel, and a feed channel. The first inlet channel is configured to receive a first adhesive. The second inlet channel is configured to receive a second adhesive. The feed channel is configured to direct at least one of the first adhesive or the second adhesive to the hot-melt adhesive dispenser.

Medical adhesive applicators are disclosed which allow medical adhesives to have long storage life and be easily dispensed in a controlled manner. In one embodiment, the applicator has a frangible glass vial with the medical adhesive. The frangible glass vial is held in a plastic enclosure with a dispensing tip. Attached to the plastic enclosure is a squeeze tube capable of imparting air pressure into the enclosure. In another embodiment, the applicator has a proximal chamber containing medical adhesive, a distal chamber for dispensing medical adhesive and one or more rupturable membranes between them. In another embodiment, an applicator pad is sized to retain the total volume of adhesive and initiator so that, in use, the entire volume of adhesive liquid is first loaded into the pad. So loaded, the adhesive and initiator mix evenly to provide an adhesive layer that cures puddle-free.

An apparatus for cleaning the trunk of a tree is disclosed. The apparatus comprises a pressure washer in fluid communication with a water source and a conduit in fluid communication with the pressure washer to receive a flow of pressurized water expelled therefrom. The conduit is arranged in at least a semi-circle to at least partially extend around the diameter of a tree trunk. A plurality of spray nozzles is disposed along the conduit to expel pressurized water from the conduit to clean the tree trunk. A barrier is connected to the conduit to impede the pressurized water from travelling in an undesired direction.

In an example embodiment, a product applicator assembly is provided. The assembly comprises a housing having a porous portion. The housing defines a hollow interior bounded at least in part by the porous portion. The assembly further comprises a sealed product container positioned within the hollow interior. The product container contains a spreadable product therein. The housing is at least partially compressible. At least a portion of the housing causes the sealed product container to burst and to release at least a portion of the spreadable product into the porous portion of the housing.

A chemical solution supply apparatus (1) includes a container (10) and a chemical solution supply implement (20) that can, in a state of being connected to a mouth portion (14), switch over a state where the container (10) is sealed and a state where a chemical solution in a storage portion (12) is allowed to be supplied to the outside of the container (10). The chemical solution supply implement (20) has a base (30) and a supply body (50). The base (30) has a retaining portion (40), a pressing portion (42), and a restricting portion (34) that restricts displacement of the supply body (50) with coming into contact with the supply body (50) when the supply body (50) is pressed against pressing force of the pressing portion (42). The supply body (50) moves away from the retaining portion (40), thereby forming a supply flow passage, and comes into contact with the retaining portion (40), thereby blocking the supply flow passage.

An example fluid applicator device includes an applicator assembly, and a reservoir assembly configured to store a fluid and is rotatable, relative to the applicator assembly, to control a valve mechanism that controls a flow of the fluid from the reservoir assembly to the applicator assembly, wherein the applicator assembly is configured to apply the fluid to a surface.

A system and method directed for a dispenser designed to have interchangeable components including a reservoir base for holding a liquid with an ergonomic handle, a detachable applicator compartment for holding an applicator, and a removable top cover and hook for hanging or for storage purposes.
