Abstract
An application tip and method for dispensing a fluid into a hole, the tip having a hollow housing or body with an open end and a closed end, the open end configured to be removably attached to and in fluid communication with a fluid source, the closed end including a nozzle having at least one passage or fluid outlet opening.
Claims20
An application tip, comprising:
- a housing having a first end and a second end, the housing having an internal passage, the first end of the housing having an opening to the internal passage;
- a dispensing nozzle extending from the second end of the housing, the dispensing nozzle including a conical member having an external surface and extending from the second end of the housing and a cylindrical member having a circumferential surface and extending from the conical member, the cylindrical member terminating in a closed end;
- and
- the dispensing nozzle having at least one dispensing passage that extends along a continuous length of the conical member and through the external surface of the conical member, to the cylindrical member, and along a length of the cylindrical member and through the circumferential surface of the cylindrical member.

An application tip, comprising:
- a body having a first end, a second end and an internal passage, the first end configured to be selectively coupled to a sealant cartridge to receive sealant in the internal passage;
- and
- a dispensing nozzle extending from the second end of the body, the dispensing nozzle comprising:
- a conical member having a first end, a second end, and an outer surface extending between the first end and the second end, the first end of the conical member extending from the second end of the body, the conical member having a diameter that narrows as the conical member extends from the body;
- and
- a cylindrical member having an outer surface and extending from the second end of the conical member, the cylindrical member terminating in a closed end, the dispensing nozzle having at least one dispensing passage that extends a length of the dispensing nozzle comprising a first length extending along the narrowing diameter of the conical member and through the outer surface of the conical member and a second length extending along the cylindrical member and through the outer surface of the cylindrical member, the at least one dispensing passage configured to dispense sealant from the internal passage.

An application tip, comprising:
- a housing having a proximal end, a distal end, and an internal passageway extending between the proximal end and the distal end, the proximal end of the housing having an opening to the internal passageway and configured to be coupled to a cartridge to receive fluid from the cartridge in the internal passageway;
- and
- a dispensing nozzle extending from the distal end of the housing and having a closed distal end, the dispensing nozzle comprising:
- a conical portion having a proximal end extending from the distal end of the housing and a distal end;
- an extension portion extending from the distal end of the conical member to the closed distal end of the dispensing nozzle;
- and
- a plurality of slots in a lateral sidewall of the dispensing nozzle in communication with the internal passageway of the housing, each of the plurality of slots extending along the conical portion and the extension portion of the dispensing nozzle and through an external surface of the conical portion and an external surface of the extension portion between the closed distal end of the dispensing nozzle and the distal end of the housing.
