Dispensing apparatus

A rotational head member for use with a fluid dispensing apparatus that dispenses a fluid lining material onto one or more interior wall surfaces of a conduit;

• wherein said dispensing apparatus comprises a dispensing outlet means, communicating with at least one reservoir, for dispensing fluid therefrom;
• wherein said rotational head member, operatively coupled to said dispensing apparatus, directs the dispensed fluid from the dispensing outlet means substantially towards the walls of said conduit;
• wherein said rotational head member comprises:
• at least one recess into which the dispensing outlet means substantially dispenses the fluid;
• at least one opening communicating with said recess through which the fluid travels to be dispensed from said head member;
• wherein said opening of said rotational head member substantially faces the dispensing apparatus;
• and
• at least one directional member provided substantially in said at least one recess, substantially opposite said outlet means, such that fluid being dispensed from said outlet means impacts an outer surface of said directional member in use;
• and the at least one directional member comprises a truncated cone;
• and
• further wherein said dispensing apparatus further comprises a reciprocating member, operatively coupled to said rotational head member, for reciprocating said rotational head member.

A dispensing outlet means for use with a fluid dispensing apparatus that dispenses a fluid lining material onto one or more interior wall surfaces of a conduit,

• wherein said dispensing apparatus comprises at least one reservoir for the containment of at least one fluid;
• wherein said dispensing outlet means is operatively coupled with said at least one reservoir for dispensing fluid therefrom;
• and
• further wherein a rotational head member, operatively coupled to said dispensing apparatus, directs the dispensed fluid from the dispensing outlet means substantially towards the walls of said conduit;
• further wherein said rotational head member comprises:
• at least one recess into which the dispensing outlet means substantially dispenses the fluid;
• at least one opening communicating with said recess through which the fluid travels to be dispensed from said head member;
• wherein said opening of said rotational head member substantially faces the dispensing apparatus;
• and
• at least one directional member provided substantially in said at least one recess, substantially opposite said outlet means, such that fluid being dispensed from said outlet means impacts an outer surface of said directional member in use;
• and the at least one directional member comprises a truncated cone;
• and
• further wherein said dispensing apparatus further comprises a reciprocating member, operatively coupled to said rotational head member, for reciprocating said rotational head member.

A method of applying a fluid onto a surface of a conduit using a dispensing apparatus, said method comprising the steps of:

• mixing two or more component fluids substantially in a dispensing outlet means;
• dispensing said mixed fluids substantially in at least one recess portion of a rotational head member;
• deflecting said mixed fluids substantially through at least one opening defined substantially in said rotational head member, onto the conduit surface, said at least one opening communicating with said recess portion;
• wherein the opening of said rotational head member substantially faces the dispensing apparatus;
• and
• reciprocating the rotational head member;
• wherein at least one directional member is provided substantially in the at least one recess portion substantially opposite said outlet means, such that fluid being dispensed from said outlet means impacts an outer surface of said directional member in use;
• wherein the at least one directional member comprises a truncated cone.
