Sealing adapter for disposable priming tip of automated glass priming device

A system for automatically dispensing a fluid from container onto a panel, the system comprising:

• a primer head comprising a container receiver and a container deformer, the container receiver receiving and holding the container thereat, wherein the container is a deformable container of a primer;
• an adapter comprising (i) a first portion that is received into an opening of the container and at least partially within the container and (ii) a second portion that is secured to a portion of the primer head, wherein, with the first portion received into the opening of the container and at least partially within the container, the second portion is at least partially exterior of the container, and wherein, with the first portion of the adapter received into the opening of the container, and with the second portion of the adapter secured to the portion of the primer head, the container is retained at the container receiver of the primer head;
• wherein a primer tip is disposed at the adapter, the primer tip comprising an internal channel and a spreader at an end of the primer tip;
• wherein, with the container received in and held at the container receiver and retained at the primer head, and with the adapter secured to the portion of the primer head, the primer head moves to position the primer tip at the panel so that the internal channel of the primer tip is in fluid communication with the container via the adapter;
• wherein the container deformer comprises an actuator that, when the container deformer operates, moves a deforming element into engagement with the container to deform the container;
• and
• wherein the system robotically moves the primer head to position the primer tip at the panel and, when the primer tip is positioned at the panel, the container deformer automatically operates and controls the container deformer to move the deforming element into engagement with the container to deform the container to dispense a predetermined amount of the primer from the container, through the adapter, through the internal channel of the primer tip and to the spreader of the primer tip and onto the panel;
• and
• wherein the primer tip comprises a disposable primer tip, and wherein the system comprises a tip changing device configured to automatically remove and install disposable primer tips at the adapter, and wherein the tip changing device comprises:
• (i) a slotted plate for engaging and removing the disposable primer tips, (ii) a tip installing portion for installing the disposable primer tips at the adapter and (iii) an air slide for adjusting a position of the slotted plate and the tip installing portion when removing and installing the disposable primer tips.
