Abstract
A device for applying a viscous material has: an application tube, which delimits an application duct running in a longitudinal direction from a material inlet opening to a material outlet opening; and a housing, which accommodates at least part of the application tube and has a material supply connection for the viscous material. The application tube has a first tube section, which is fixed on the housing and has the material inlet opening, and a second tube section, which adjoins the first tube section and has the material outlet opening at a free end. A joint connects the first tube section and the second tube section, and a drive device deflects the free end of the second tube section in a transverse direction running transversely to the longitudinal direction.
Claims10
An apparatus for application of a viscous material, the apparatus comprising:
- an application tube bounding an application duct running in a longitudinal direction from a material inlet opening to a material outlet opening;
- a housing that receives the application tube at least partly and that has a material feed port for the viscous material, wherein the application tube has a first tube portion disposed fixed to the housing and provided with the material inlet opening and a second tube portion adjoining the first tube portion and provided at a free end with the material outlet opening;
- a joint connecting the first tube portion and the second tube portion;
- and
- a drive device for deflection of the free end of the second tube portion in a transverse direction oriented transversely relative to the longitudinal direction;
- wherein the drive device is provided with at least one boom that is joined to the second tube portion and that juts out radially as well as with at least two actuating elements comprising tappets that can be moved by means of respectively one positioning element for urging the at least one boom at various urging points;
- and
- wherein the positioning element comprises a pneumatic cylinder, a piezo element, or a moving coil.
