Adhesive application apparatus for tiles

An apparatus for applying adhesive to a tile comprising:

• a container for receiving the adhesive to be applied to the tile;
• the container defining a downwardly-opening orifice through which the adhesive is enabled to pass out of the container;
• a substantially horizontally extending track coupled below the container and adapted for supporting the tile in sliding movement underneath the orifice from an inlet side of the orifice and past the orifice to an outlet side thereof so that the adhesive received in the container passes out of the orifice and onto the tile;
• the container including a fixed peripheral wall supported in fixed location and a movable wall which is displaceable relative to the fixed peripheral wall in a transverse direction to the sliding movement for adjusting a width of the orifice for tiles having different widths;
• the track including a fixed track portion supported in fixed location and a relocatable track portion displaceable relative to the fixed track portion in said transverse direction to the sliding movement;
• wherein the movable wall of the container and the relocatable track portion are interconnected so as to be maintained in fixed relation to one another during movement in the transverse direction.
