Estimating the term…
The glue pot is attached to a glue applicator to supply a continuous flow of hot liquid glue to the applicator rolls of the glue applicator. The glue pot comprises an upright cylindrical glue container with an opening formed in the central portion of its bottom wall, and a water stack extending from said bottom wall opening upwardly through the glue container to form an annular glue reservoir. A water tank is positioned below the bottom wall of the glue container in open communication with the water stack, and water is supplied to the water tank and water stack. Heating means heats the water in the water tank and in the water stack, so that the glue in the glue reservoir is heated from inside out and from bottom up. A pump has its inlet in communication with the lower portion of the glue reservoir and it delivers liquid glue to the glue applicator rolls of the glue applicator, and directs a continuous flow of glue into the upper portion of the annular glue reservoir to continuously stir the glue in the reservoir. A water supply conduit extends through the heated water tank so as to supply hot water for cleaning the pump and glue conduits and for cleaning the glue applicator.
A glue pot for supplying liquid glue to the glue applicator rolls of a glue application system, said glue pot comprising an upright cylindrical glue container with an outer wall and a bottom wall, an opening formed in the central portion of said bottom wall, a water stack extending from said bottom wall opening upwardly through said glue container and forming with said glue container an annular glue reservoir, a glue outlet opening formed in the lower portion of said glue reservoir, a water tank positioned below the bottom wall of said glue container and in free communication with said water stack, heating means for heating the water in said water tank, pump means including an inlet and an outlet, water supply conduit means extending through said water tank and including an inlet for connection to a source of water under pressure and an outlet in communication with said pump inlet, a glue supply conduit in communication with said glue outlet opening and said pump inlet, valve means for selectively opening and closing communication between said water supply conduit and said pump means and for selectively opening and closing communication between said glue supply conduit and said pump means, and delivery conduit means connected to said pump outlet for directing glue to the upper portion of said annular glue reservoir and for directing glue to the glue applicator rolls of a glue application system, whereby glue is drawn by the pump means from the lower portion of said glue reservoir and directed through the delivery conduit to the glue applicator rolls and to the upper portion of the glue reservoir, and the heating means heats the water in the water tank and the water in the water tank and in the water stack heats the glue in the glue reservoir.
A glue pot for supplying liquid glue to the glue applicator rolls of a glue aplicaton system, said glue pot comprising an upright cylindrical glue container with a cylindrical side wall and a bottom wall, an upright stack centrally positioned in said cylindrical glue container and extending upwardly from said bottom wall to define with said cylindrical side wall an annular glue reservoir for containing glue, means for heating said bottom wall and said stack whereby heat is transferred from said bottom wall and said stack to glue in said glue reservoir, a pump and conduit means for withdrawing liquid glue from the lower portion of said glue reservoir and delivering glue to the glue applicator rolls of a glue application system including means for directing a flow of liquid glue into the upper portion of said glue reservoir in a direction to form a swirl of glue in said reservoir about said stack.
A glue pot for supplying liquid glue to the glue applicator rolls of a glue application system, said glue pot comprising a container with a bottom wall and a side wall, a stack centrally positioned in the container and extending upwardly from said bottom wall to define with said side wall an annular glue reservoir for containing glue, said stack being in open communication at its upper end with said reservoir, pump means having an inlet in communication with said reservoir for withdrawing glue from said reservoir and supplying glue to the glue applicator rolls, a liquid tank positioned beneath said container with the bottom wall of said glue container forming a partition between said liquid tank and said container, said liquid tank being in open communication with said stack, means for heating liquid in said liquid tank and in said stack, and conduit means for directing liquid from said liquid tank to the inlet of said pump.
A glue pot for supplying liquid glue to the glue applicator rolls of a glue application system, said glue pot comprising an upright cylindrical glue container with a cylindrical side wall and a bottom wall, an upright stack centrally positioned in said cylindrical glue container and extending upwardly from said bottom wall to define with said cylindrical side wall an annular glue reservoir for containing glue, heating means for heating said bottom wall and said stack whereby heat is transferred from said bottom wall and said stack to glue in said glue reservoir, a pump and conduit means for withdrawing liquid glue from the lower portion of said glue reservoir and delivering glue to the glue applicator rolls of a glue application system, a water supply conduit heated by said heating means and including an inlet for connection to a source of water under pressure and an outlet for communication with said pump and conduit means whereby water heated by the heating means can be directed to the pump and conduit means for cleaning glue from the pump and conduit means.
A glue pot for supplying liquid glue to the glue applicator rolls of a glue application system, said glue pot comprising a glue container with a side wall and a bottom wall, an upright stack centrally positioned in said glue container and extending upwardly from said bottom wall and including an open upper end portion within said glue container to define with said side wall an annular glue reservoir for containing glue, a liquid tank positioned beneath said glue reservoir with said bottom wall of said glue container forming a partition between said glue reservoir and said liquid tank, said liquid tank being in open communication with said stack whereby liquid fills the liquid tank and extends up into the stack, and heating means for heating the liquid contained in said liquid tank and extending up into said stack whereby heat is transferred from said bottom wall and said stack to glue in said glue reservoir and airborne moisture is transferable from the upper end of the stack to the glue reservoir, pump and conduit means for withdrawing liquid glue from the lower portion of said glue reservoir and delivering glue to the glue applicator rolls of a glue application system.
