Abstract
A dispensing gun assembly includes a frame, a rod, a piston, a driver, a trigger, and a linkage. The rod slideably connects with the frame for linear movement with respect to the frame. The piston connects with the rod for movement with the rod. The driver selectively engages with the rod to move the rod in a linear direction when engaged with the rod. The trigger slideably connects with the frame. The linkage connects the trigger with the driver such that linear movement of the trigger with respect to the frame in a rearward direction results in the driver engaging the rod and linear movement of the rod and the piston in a forward direction.
Claims17
A dispensing gun assembly comprising:
- a frame;
- a rod slidably connected with the frame for linear movement with respect to the frame;
- a piston connected with the rod for movement with the rod;
- a driver including a rod opening receiving the rod, the driver selectively engageable with the rod to move the rod within the rod opening in a linear direction when engaged with the rod;
- a trigger slidably connected with the frame;
- a fixed handle fixedly connected with the frame, the trigger is disposed forward from the fixed handle and is slidable with respect to the frame between an unsqueezed position and a fully-squeezed position;
- and
- a linkage connecting the trigger with the driver such that linear movement of the trigger in a rearward direction toward the fully-squeezed position results in the driver engaging the rod and linear movement of the rod and the piston in a forward direction,
- wherein the frame defines a track and the trigger includes a slide received in the track and a grip extending downwardly from the slide, the grip movable with the trigger such that linear movement of the grip results in movement of the slide in the track, wherein the slide includes an aperture and the rod is received in and extends through the aperture such that the rod is also received in the slide.
