Abstract
A glue pen including a housing, a heater element, and a feed mechanism. The housing is configured to support a meltable adhesive substance. The heater element is disposed in the housing. The feed mechanism is coupled to the housing. The feed mechanism includes a first actuator and a second actuator. Each of the first actuator and the second actuator is selectively movable relative to the other actuator to move the meltable adhesive substance toward the heater element.
Claims20
A glue pen comprising:
- a housing configured to support a meltable adhesive substance;
- a heater element disposed in the housing;
- and
- a feed mechanism coupled to the housing and including a first actuator and a second actuator, each of the first actuator and the second actuator selectively movable separately relative to the other actuator to move the meltable adhesive substance toward the heater element.
1 more element
A glue pen comprising:
- a housing including an output end and configured to support a meltable adhesive substance;
- a heater element disposed in the housing adjacent or at the output end;
- and
- a feed mechanism coupled to the housing and including an actuator pivotable about a first axis to engage the meltable adhesive substance, the actuator further movable from a start state to an end state to move the meltable adhesive substance toward the heater element,
- wherein the actuator is disengaged from the meltable adhesive substance in an unactuated state, and
- wherein the actuator pivots into engagement with the meltable adhesive substance on engagement of the actuator by a user.
3 more elements
A glue pen comprising:
- a housing configured to support a meltable adhesive substance and defining a passage and a feed axis extending longitudinally through the passage, the housing including a grip portion oriented such that the feed axis extends along a plane that bisects the grip portion;
- a heater element disposed in the housing;
- a feed mechanism coupled to the housing and including an actuator protruding from a first lateral side of the housing away from the plane, the actuator engageable to move the meltable adhesive substance along the feed axis toward the heater element.
