Abstract
An applicator for dispensing adhesive material includes a container body holding the adhesive material and an applicator tip configured to permit improved control and economy in application of the adhesive.
Claims63
An applicator for dispensing adhesive material, comprising:
- a container body containing an adhesive material, wherein said adhesive material is a synthetic or semi-synthetic polymerizable or cross-linkable monomer material;
- a body of porous material, wherein said adhesive material is located in said container body in a non-contacting relationship with said porous material prior to dispensing said adhesive material;
- and
- an applicator tip having an open end open toward said container body and at least one orifice, wherein at least a portion of said porous material is located in said open end of said applicator tip and wherein said applicator tip permits said adhesive material to pass through said porous material and exit said applicator tip at said at least one orifice.
