Abstract
A device for delivering a sealant material includes a first nozzle having a first nozzle head and a second nozzle having a second nozzle head. The first and second nozzle heads each independently have an outlet, an inlet opposite the outlet, and an open channel that extends through a body of the nozzle heads from the inlet to the outlet. The first nozzle is spaced apart from the second nozzle to form a space between the nozzle heads to allow a component to enter a first side of the device and exit a second side of the device while passing by the first and second nozzle heads. A notch is formed through the body of each of the first and second nozzle heads at a side where the component exits the device to distribute a sealant material onto each side of the component.
Claims10
A device for delivering a sealant material, comprising:
- a first nozzle comprising a first nozzle head;
- and
- a second nozzle comprising a second nozzle head,
- the first and second nozzle heads each independently comprising an outlet, an inlet opposite the outlet, and an open channel that extends through a body of the nozzle heads from the inlet to the outlet, wherein each of the outlets comprise an outer face that forms a perimeter around at least a portion of the open channel;
- wherein the first nozzle is spaced apart from the second nozzle such that the outlet of the first nozzle head faces the outlet of the second nozzle head with a space formed between the nozzle heads to allow a component to enter a first side of the device or each of the nozzle heads and exit a second side of the device or each of the nozzle heads along a lateral direction while passing by the first and second nozzle heads, and
- wherein a notch is formed through the body of each of the first and second nozzle heads at the second side where the component exits the device to distribute sealant material onto each side of the component, wherein the notches extend through a portion of the body of each of the first and second nozzle heads in a longitudinal direction from the outlet toward the inlet and wherein the notches extend at least through the outer face at the second side of the nozzle heads and into a portion of the body.
