Abstract
A hot melt glue gun includes a charging cylinder mounted to the rear of the gun with chambers for holding solid glue sticks. The cylinder is mounted to the hot melt gun housing via a centered shaft allowing it to revolve circumferentially. The cylinder is mounted in a position on the back of the glue gun so that each chamber when rotated to the top aligns with the glue stick entry port in the back of the glue gun. Each chamber has resilient flanges within the chamber that cause friction when a glue stick is inserted into the chamber, thus lightly securing the glue stick before it is pushed forward into the glue gun port and taken up by the trigger activated forward grip.
Claims4
A charging cylinder for a hot melt glue gun having a glue stick entry port, a nozzle, a barrel aligned with the entry port and extending to the nozzle and hot melt glue sticks, comprising
- a shaft extending rearwardly from the glue gun and spaced laterally from the glue stick entry port a first distance;
- a cylinder rotatably mounted about the shaft and including a plurality of chambers parallel to the shaft and equidistantly spaced from the shaft by the first distance, each chamber having a passage therethrough open at both ends to receive the hot melt glue sticks, having a cross section matching the glue stick entry port and aligning with the glue stick entry port through rotation of the cylinder about the shaft.
