Abstract
A mortar applicator for dispensing mortar for masonry constructions, the mortar applicator including a manifold having a branched passage coupling an inlet aperture to a first and second outlet apertures. A first and second applicator tube are pivotally carried by the manifold in fluid communication with the first and second outlet apertures to dispense mortar on masonry construction in variable widths.
Claims18
A mortar hand held applicator system for dispensing mortar to a masonry construction, the system comprising:
- a mortar applicator including;
- a manifold having a first end and a second end;
- an inlet aperture formed in the first end of the manifold;
- and
- a first outlet aperture and a second outlet aperture formed in the second end of the manifold, each in fluid communication with the inlet aperture;
- a mortar supply including;
- a mixing device;
- a reservoir coupled to the mixing device;
- and
- a pump coupled to the reservoir;
- and
- a conduit coupling the reservoir to the mortar applicator through the pump.

A hand held mortar applicator comprising:
- a manifold for receiving a flow of mortar and having a first end and a second end;
- an inlet aperture formed in the first end of the manifold and couplable to a remote mortar supply by a conduit for a pressure feed of mortar;
- a first outlet aperture and a second outlet aperture formed in the second end of the manifold, each in fluid communication with the inlet aperture;
- a first applicator tube pivotally carried by the manifold in fluid communication with the first outlet aperture;
- and
- a second applicator tube spaced from the first applicator tube and carried by the manifold in fluid communication with the second outlet aperture, the pivotal characteristic of the first applicator permitting adjustment of the spacing between the first applicator tube and the second applicator tube.
