There is provided an applicator device (1) for applying a composition to an end of a pipe. The applicator device comprises an applicator head (3), the applicator head having a cavity (9) with an opening into which the end of the pipe can be inserted. The applicator head comprises at least one brush (10) and at least one aperture (12) for delivering the composition into the cavity, each brush having bristles which extend into the cavity (9) to wipe against the end of the pipe, each aperture being closer to the opening of the cavity than to a base of the cavity. There is further provided an applicator device (1) comprising a supplementary brush for wiping the composition over an internal surface of the pipe, a container (60) of flux composition for connecting to the applicator device, and a method of applying a composition to an end of a pipe.
An applicator device for applying a composition to an end of a pipe, the applicator device comprising an applicator head, the applicator head having a cavity with an opening into which the end of the pipe can be inserted, wherein the applicator head comprises at least one brush and at least one aperture for delivering the composition into the cavity, each brush having bristles which extend into the cavity to wipe against the end of the pipe, each aperture being closer to the opening of the cavity than to a base of the cavity.
An applicator device for applying a composition to an end of a pipe, the applicator device comprising an applicator head, the applicator head having a cavity with an opening into which the end of the pipe can be inserted up to a base of the cavity, wherein the applicator head comprises at least one aperture for delivering the composition into the cavity, wherein the applicator device comprises a supplementary brush which is movable into the cavity and sized to fit inside the cavity to receive the composition from the at least one aperture, wherein the supplementary brush is removable from inside the cavity so that it can be placed inside the end of the pipe to wipe the composition over an internal surface of the pipe.
A container of flux composition for application to an end of a pipe, wherein the container comprises a connector for connecting to an applicator device, wherein the container comprises a container pipe filled with the flux composition, and a plunger for forcing the flux composition from the container into the applicator device via the connector, wherein the container comprises a rotatable base connected to a threaded rod, the rotatable base and threaded rod being rotatable relative to the container pipe, wherein the plunger is connected to the threaded rod and is held in fixed rotation relative to the container pipe, so that rotation of the rotatable base and threaded rod causes the plunger to move along the container pipe and drive the flux composition out of the container and towards the applicator head.
A method of applying a composition to an end of a pipe, using an applicator device and a container of the composition, wherein the applicator device comprises a main body and an applicator head, the applicator head having a cavity with an opening into which the end of the pipe can be inserted up to a base of the cavity, wherein the applicator head comprises at least one brush and at least one aperture for delivering the composition into the cavity, each brush having bristles which extend into the cavity to wipe against the end of the pipe, each aperture being closer to the opening of the cavity than to the base of the cavity, the main body having a connector for connecting to the container of the composition to be applied to the end of the pipe by the applicator device, wherein the main body comprises one or more conduits for routing the composition from the connector to the applicator head, wherein the container comprises a container pipe filled with the composition, and a plunger for forcing the composition from the container into the main body of the applicator device, wherein the method comprises:
