A fastening system for fixing an object on a base includes a first receptacle storing an aerobic adhesive and includes an associated first withdrawal device. A second receptacle, separate from the first receptacle, stores a free-flowing substance and includes an associated second withdrawal device. The first withdrawal device is configured to generate an aerobic adhesive layer with a height profile on the base. The second withdrawal device is configured to generate a surface layer of the free-flowing substance on the layer of aerobic adhesive with height profile to form a layer, whereby volumetric incorporations or inclusions of the free-flowing substance are formed in the aerobic adhesive when the object is pressed onto the layer structure.

Described herein is a caulk warming apparatus. The apparatus includes a body portion defining an interior cavity for the placement of caulk tubes. A lid is retained on the body portion and includes a housing containing a heating element for distributing heat throughout the body portion. The interior cavity includes a rack to retain the stored and heated tubes of caulk in a vertical position.

An adhesive application comprises an elongate tubular body having a first open end and a second end opposite to the first end, a rod of adhesive material located within the elongate tubular body, an adaptor comprising a C-shaped body for clipping onto the elongate tubular body. Said rod is moveable along the elongate tubular body so that a free end of the rod of adhesive material is able to travel relatively past the first end of the elongate tubular body. Said rod of adhesive material is retainable at a selected axial position. Said adaptor comprises a disk-like cap connected to the C-shaped body by a neck. The C-shaped body and the disk-like cap form a slot opening for receiving a sheet of paper. The adaptor is slidable relative to the elongate tubular body so that a portion of the C-shaped body remains in contact with the elongate tubular body.

The present invention relates to a caulking gun for dispensing viscous material comprising a stock a cartridge keep a push rod longitudinally moveably mounted in the stock provided at its one end with a plunger which engages the piston of a cartridge placed in the cartridge keep, means for engaging the push rod to advance it, brake means hinged to the stock and provided with a clearance hole for engaging the push rod such that the push rod is moveable in a direction advancing the push rod towards the cartridge and is held in a direction retreating the push rod from the cartridge, which brake means are arranged to travel to a first position relative to the stock as the push rod advances and to a second position as the push rod retreats thereby defining the retreat of the push rod, the brake means being inclined relative to the axis of the push rod and adjusting means for varying the retreat of the push rod. In order to provide an adjustable caulking gun with at least two different levels of retreat of the push rod giving the user easily a visual feedback of the chosen retreat of the push rod, it is proposed according to the present invention that the adjusting means are configured as a rotatable wheel with a slope, the rotatable wheel being positioned on the axis of the push rod between the stock and the brake means, the distance between the highest point of the slope and the brake means defining the retreat of the push rod. This rotatable wheel allows the user to select the level of retreat of the push rod by turning the wheel between a first position with no retreat of the push rod and a second position with a maximum retreat of the push rod resulting in a anti-drip behavior of the caulking gun.

Systems and methods for safely repairing potable water tanks when submerged within a tank. The barrier may be shield structure defining a cavity and having an aperture and valve for injecting the coating material into the cavity, or the barrier may be a sheet preloaded with coating material and stored within and delivered via a transfer shield, or the barrier may be a continuous sheet delivered over the top of the coating material at the same time it is applied. The barrier layer, be it a shield structure sheet or continuous sheet, becomes adhered to the substrate being repaired so post cure removal is not required. Methods of repair include pressing the sealing edge of a barrier shield over an area, injecting coating material between the barrier shield and area, removing the source of coating material, and permitting the coating material to cure.

A construction material tube strap cap includes a base comprising a first and second tab that defines a respective first and second aperture, where the base is dimensioned to fit over a nozzle of a construction material tube. An upper section attached to the base. The upper section comprises a top surface and a bottom surface and is dimensioned to provide a seal around the nozzle with a predetermined volume surrounding the nozzle. An elastic strap is positioned through the first and second apertures defined in the first and second tabs in the base. The elastic strap has a length and an elasticity that cause the first and second tabs to flex inward toward the nozzle.

Various aspects and embodiments are directed to a precision dispenser that is hand held and constructed and arranged to receive and release a variety of glue cartridges. In various embodiments, the adhesive cartridges include precision tips that provide, for example, flat even bead with little or no spill or drip. Other precision tips can be constructed and arranged for use with the precision glue gun. In some examples, the precision tips can be tailored to the specific adhesive contained in the cartridge.

A system and method for filling joints in concrete. The system includes an A-side joint filler compound portion, a B-side joint filler compound portion, and a liquid pigment portion, which are mixed together in a mixing container initially containing only the A-side joint filler compound portion. The portions are mixed using a mixing rod. An elongate nozzle is then attached to the mixing container, and the mixing container added to an application gun for application to the joint.

A pastry bag includes: a container containing a creamy substance; a nozzle connected to the container; and an auxiliary member. The auxiliary member includes: a fixing portion fixed to the nozzle; and a positioning portion to be brought into contact with a creation surface on which a decoration is to be created.
