The operating member is configured to control the pressurized fluid.

An apparatus for capping the tip of the nozzle of a caulking tube retained in a caulking gun to prevent the caulking tube from leaking caulking material such as latex or silicone during non-use. The apparatus has a cap portion, a housing portion, and a retractable flexible cord to provide a retractable cap to be used with the caulking tube placed in a caulking gun to prevent leakage when the caulking gun and caulking tube are not in use. The housing contains a retraction member which is placed under force when the cap is pulled away from the retraction member and placed over the tip of the caulking tube nozzle. When the cap is removed from the caulking tube nozzle, the tension from the retraction member causes the flexible cord to pull the cap to a location adjacent the housing so that the cap can be easily retrieved and not lost.

A dispenser for compound-containing containers includes a cassette for a container; at least one push rod displaceable relative to the cassette; a motor for moving the at least one push rod; a main switch for generating a control signal in response to actuation of the main switch; a control unit for controlling the motor; and a sensor configured to detect the moving of the push rod which is electronically connected to the control unit. The control unit is configured to store the dispensed volume of the compound and provide a feedback to the user once the dispensed volume of the compound reaches a defined value, and the user gets informed as soon as the cassette should be checked. Based on saved information of the dispensed volume of the compound, the user can be informed if a specified volume is reached and a check of the cassette is recommended.

The invention relates to an application nozzle (5.) for plastic sealants in a pasty form which can be easily and uniformly guided. The functional principle of the invention relates to a molding region (14.) made of an elastic structured rubber (8.) which is positioned by a guiding system, flexibly adapts to the adhesive surfaces, and has a pressure point-developing effect as a result of the molding region (14.) being sealed laterally or to the front (in the guide direction). By means of the pressure resistance, which changes noticeably to the user, in the counter-pressure of the hand lever during a manual application process using a conventional application pistol, the actuation of the hand lever becomes a simple control variable, from which a flawless visible surface results in a work process which is easy to control. The sealant material can be applied horizontally and vertically, as well as in an overhead position, in an approximately loss-free manner. The guiding system of the application nozzle (5.) consists of two contact bodies ((16.) and (21.)). By virtue of the dual function of the second contact body (21.), a central sealant abutment can be produced.

A cartridge usable in a viscous-material dispenser includes a cylinder, a plunger in the cylinder, and a plurality of ribs extending radially from an outer surface of the plunger to an inner surface of the cylinder. The ribs are circumferentially separated by a plurality of clearances, and the ribs and the clearances extend in an axial direction. Each of the plurality of clearances is defined by two adjacent ribs. The ribs and clearances are configured to allow the venting of gas through the clearances during a beginning of a cartridge filling operation and to impede the movement of the viscous material through the clearances during a remainder of the cartridge filling operation such that, at an end of the cartridge filling operation, the ribs and bodies of the viscous material in the clearances form an airtight seal between the plunger and the cylinder.

A device for applying a mixed component includes first and second receptacles configured to receive first and second components, respectively, a static mixing nozzle, an applicator and an operating member. The static mixing nozzle includes a plurality of mixing elements, has a first end and a second end, and is in fluid communication with the first and second receptacles. The applicator includes a spray tip and an input for pressurized fluid, the spray tip is disposed downstream of the second end of the static mixing nozzle and is in fluid communication with the static mixing nozzle. The operating member is disposed on the applicator and is configured to control the pressurized fluid.

A viscous construction material tube cap and strapping apparatus includes an elastic strap. A construction material tube cap has dimension chosen to fit over a nozzle of a construction material tube, where the construction material tube cap defines a plurality of apertures having dimensions for passing the elastic strap. A base is dimensioned to fit over a bottom of the construction material tube. The base includes an air seal that substantially prevents air from entering into the bottom of the tube of construction material. The base also includes a feature on the outer surface of the base that is dimensioned to secure the elastic strap. The elastic strap has a length and an elasticity so that when inserted into the plurality of apertures in the construction material tube cap and into the feature on an outer surface of the base, the elastic strap forces the construction material tube cap down on the nozzle of the construction material tube when the elastic strap is connected to the base and the cap is fit over the nozzle of the construction material tube and the base is fit over the bottom of the construction material tube, thereby tightly sealing the nozzle.

A caulking gun includes a push disk, a push rod, an adhesive cartridge compartment, a trigger and a gun body; the trigger is hingedly coupled to the middle part of the gun body; the rear end of the push rod is outside the gun body and provided with a braking device; the front end is in the adhesive cartridge compartment through the gun body and provided with a push disk; a push piece for driving the push rod is mounted in the gun body; the front end of the push piece is provided with a return spring; the trigger is provided with a pin position switching device for adjusting the propulsion ratio by adjusting the contact position of the push piece; adjustment of different propulsion ratios enables the caulking gun to be multifunctional to meet the construction requirements of different adhesives.

A storage container for a cylindrical tube of viscous construction material includes a body dimensioned to receive a cylindrical tube of viscous construction material. A nozzle enclosure is attached to a top end of the body and is dimensioned to receive a nozzle of a cylindrical tube of viscous construction material. A plug is positioned in the nozzle enclosure and dimensioned to fit into an inner diameter of the nozzle of the cylindrical tube of viscous construction material. A gasket is positioned between the body and the nozzle that substantially prevents air in the body from entering into the nozzle enclosure. A base seals the cylindrical tube of viscous construction material in the body.

A glue gun and a method of advancing glue sticks in a glue gun. A leading glue stick is held in a channel of a feeder assembly in an active position, and a next-in-line glue stick is positioned adjacent the active position. In response to movement of a trigger of the glue gun by a user, the feeder assembly feeding the leading glue stick in an advancing direction. Upon advancement of the leading glue stick beyond a forward end of the next-in-line glue stick, the next-in-line glue stick drops freely into the active position, and a transition from feeding the leading glue stick with the feeder assembly to feeding the next-in-line glue stick with the feeder assembly occurs exclusively by repeated trigger actuation. No other steps or actions are required to put the next-in-line glue stick into the active position upon depletion of the leading glue stick.
