Abstract
A manifold having a first side, a second side, a first channel extending from the first side to the second side, and a second channel extending from the first side to the second side is disclosed. The first channel and the second channel each define a linear longitudinal axis. In one embodiment, the first channel longitudinal axis and the second channel longitudinal axis are oblique to the first side and the second side of the manifold. The manifold of the present disclosure provides channels that can be easily cleaned and allow for an increased flow performance.

A manifold for a first chemical substance and a second chemical substance to travel therethrough, the first chemical substance is a first part of a multiple component adhesive and the second chemical substance is a second part of the multiple component adhesive, the first chemical substance and the second chemical substance are configured to cure upon mixing to form a third homogeneous chemical substance, the manifold comprising:
- a block having a first side and a second side, the block having a vee-shape;
- a first channel extending from the first side to the second side, the first channel defining a first channel longitudinal axis, the first channel longitudinal axis being linear;
- and
- a second channel extending from the first side to the second side, the second channel defining a second channel longitudinal axis, the second channel longitudinal axis being linear,
- wherein the first channel and the second channel together form a vee-shape,
- wherein the first side of the block includes a first threaded connection portion and the second side of the block includes a second threaded connection portion,
- wherein a portion of the first channel is within the second threaded connection portion and a portion of the second channel is within the second threaded connection portion,
- wherein the second threaded connection portion defines a second threaded connection portion longitudinal axis, wherein the portion of the first channel within the second threaded connection portion is oblique to the second threaded connection portion longitudinal axis, and wherein the portion of the second channel within the second threaded connection portion is oblique to the second threaded connection portion longitudinal axis, and
- wherein the first threaded connection portion defines a first threaded connection portion longitudinal axis, and wherein the first threaded connection portion longitudinal axis is oblique to the second threaded connection portion longitudinal axis.
