Multi-bead applicator

A system for applying a two-part adhesive to a substrate, the system comprising:

• a frame with a front end and a back end;
• two pairs of wheels, where each pair is rotationally coupled to the front end and the back end of the frame;
• a first tray for holding a first drum to store a first compound, the first drum having an outlet in communication with the first compound and a handle;
• a second tray for holding a second drum to store a second compound, the second drum having an outlet in communication with the second compound and a handle;
• a first hinge comprising a first angularly movable structure and a first frame extension, the first frame extension attached to the front end of the frame and the first angularly movable structure, respectively, and the first angularly movable structure hingedly attached to the first tray;
• a second hinge comprising a second angularly movable structure and a second frame extension, the second frame extension attached to the front end of the frame and the second angularly movable structure, respectively, and the second angularly movable structure hingedly attached to the second tray;
• wherein the first and the second trays can tilt independent of each other;
• a prime mover mounted on the frame and connected to a gear box through a rotatable shaft, wherein the gear box transfers a driving torque from the prime mover to a first rotatable shaft coupled to a first pump and a second rotatable shaft coupled to a second pump;
• wherein the gear box and the first and second rotatable shaft do not come in contact with the first and the second compound;
• the first pump having an inlet in communication with the outlet of the first drum and having an outlet, the first pump mounted on the frame and driven by the prime mover to draw the first compound from the first drum and pump through the outlet of the first pump;
• the second pump having an inlet in communication with the outlet of the second drum and having an outlet, the second pump mounted on the frame and driven by the prime mover to draw the second compound from the second drum and pump through the outlet of the second pump;
• an applicator having a first inlet, a second inlet, and an outlet, wherein the first inlet of the applicator is in communication with the outlet of the first pump and the second inlet of the applicator is in communication with the outlet of the second pump, wherein the applicator is configured to mix the first compound with the second compound to form the two-part adhesive.
