Abstract
An adhesive dispensing system for applying liquid adhesive to a substrate using different nozzles with the same manifold is disclosed. The adhesive dispensing system includes a manifold having a body, a first clamp configured to engage the body of the manifold, a second clamp configured to engage the body of the manifold, and a nozzle. The first and second clamps secure the nozzle to the body of the manifold. The body of the manifold has a first contact surface that engages the first clamp and a second contact surface that engages the second clamp and the nozzle, where the second contact surface is angularly offset from the first contact surface.
Claims17
A manifold for a liquid adhesive dispensing system, the manifold comprising:
- a body having a first contact surface, second contact surface, and a third contact surface, said first contact surface configured to engage a first clamp having a first clamping surface obliquely angled relative to said first contact surface, said contact surface angularly offset from said first contact surface and configured to engage each of a nozzle and a second clamp having a second clamping surface obliquely angled relative to said third contact surface, said third contact surface angularly offset from said second contact surface and configured to engage said second clamp, such that first and second clamps removably secure said nozzle to said body of said manifold.
