Abstract
A dispenser for holding two or more cans of material adapted to create a froth, a caulking or like product. The holders of the cans contain separate attachments for engaging the containers and holding them in a position of use. This insures that the cans cannot be inserted the wrong way into the dispenser. In a preferred form, the dispenser includes two can holders, a manifold, a dispensing gun and a receiver for a disposable nozzle. The two can holder fittings are respectively male/female, and in another embodiment, left hand/right hand threads.
Claims18
In combination, a chemical product dispenser and a manifold attached thereto, said manifold including two separate passages for directing the contents of said containers to said dispenser through dispensing valves, two adapters forming a part of said manifold and having mutually engaging means for attachment to containers holding the ingredients of chemicals to be mixed by said dispenser, said adapters each having a different structural configuration for receiving and retaining said containers in snugly engaged relation, said adapters including valve actuators that operate said valves on said containers when said containers are snugly engaged with said adapters, whereby a container of the type intended to be attached to the first adapter is not suited for attachment to the second adapter, and a container intended to be secured to the second container cannot be attached to the first adapter.
In combination, a dispenser, plural hoses supplying said dispenser with at least two separate components, said hoses being attached to adapters, said adapters being received within a single can holder unit, said adapters being separately configured so as to have one of said adapters equipped with a formation intended to engage counterpart formations on a first container having a first chemical component, and the other of said adapters include a formation adapted to engage a counterpart formation on the second container carrying a second chemical component, said first and second pairs of formations being constructed and arranged so that the first formation will not engage the second formation, and vice versa.
