Abstract
An asphalt sealer packaging and dispensing system having a pre-portioned, modular containment for containing a volume of cold pour asphalt sealer. The modular containment is formed of a cube shaped outer corrugated cardboard housing having a high temperature stable sealing insert. The housing is interchangeably attached to a spreading apparatus having a wheeled carriage with grasping/pushing handles. A linear output of asphalt sealer is thereby dispensed as said wheeled carriage is rolled along a target surface.
Claims16
An asphalt sealer packaging and dispensing system comprising:
- a pre-portioned, modular containment for containing a volume of cold pour asphalt sealer in a modular, interchangeable manner;
- an ambulating spreading apparatus in fluid communication with said volume and adapted for gravity-fed dispensing of said asphalt sealer directly from said modular containment to a surface to be sealed;
- an outer housing formed in a hexahedron of corrugated cardboard;
- a sealing insert comprising a gusseted bag insert nested in and contained by the modular containment;
- a support insert nested in and contained by the bag insert and adapted to provide a structured volume within the sealing insert;
- a filling spout in fluid communication between the asphalt sealer, through said sealing insert and extending upward through a filling spout access orifice formed in said outer housing;
- and
- a dispensing spout in fluid communication between the asphalt sealer, through said sealing insert and extending outward from a dispensing spout access orifice formed as a hinged perforated flap in said outer housing.
