Abstract

An application nozzle for an application system for gel-like or pasty compositions. The application nozzle includes an inlet region and an outlet region for the composition, and a plane, extending in a longitudinal direction of the application nozzle. The outlet region includes a contact region for the application nozzle on a substrate standing perpendicular to the plane and an outlet opening for the composition. The contact region and the outlet opening are delineated from one another structurally as two separate sections that are kinked with respect to one another, and the contact region is at least partly slanted.

Claims

1. An application nozzle for an application system for gel-like or pasty compositions, the application nozzle comprising:

an inlet region and an outlet region for the composition; and

a plane extending in a longitudinal direction of the application nozzle,

the outlet region comprising

a contact region for the application nozzle on a substrate standing perpendicular to the plane and

an outlet opening for the composition,

the contact region and the outlet opening being delineated from one another structurally as two separate sections that are kinked with respect to one another, and

the contact region being at least partly slanted.

2. The application nozzle in accordance with claim 1, wherein

the outlet opening is disposed at a surface which is adjacent to the plane formed by the contact region.

3. The application nozzle in accordance with claim 1, wherein

the outlet opening is adjacent to the contact region.

4. The application nozzle in accordance with claim 1, wherein

the contact region of the application nozzle has a polygonal cross-section.

5. The application nozzle in accordance with claim 1, wherein

the outlet opening for the composition is polygonal.

6. The application nozzle in accordance with claim 1, wherein

a slant of the at least partly slanted contact region is formed by an angular range between approximately 50°

to approximately 85°

.

7. The application nozzle in accordance with claim 1, wherein

the application nozzle has at least one edge or rib.

8. The application nozzle in accordance with claim 1, wherein

the application nozzle has one of a substantially polygonal cross-section and a polygonal cross-section with respect to the cross-section.

9. The application nozzle in accordance with claim 1, wherein

the application nozzle has a cross-section or a shape which has at least one concave section.

11. An application device, comprising at least one application nozzle in accordance claim 1.

12. A method of applying gel-like and/or pasty compositions by means of an application nozzle in accordance with claim 1.

13. The application nozzle in accordance with claim 1, wherein the plane is a plane of symmetry.

14. The application nozzle in accordance with claim 6, wherein the outlet opening for the composition is triangular.

15. The application nozzle in accordance with claim 1, wherein the contact region is at least partly slanted with respect to the longitudinal direction.

16. The application nozzle in accordance with claim 1, wherein the outlet region comprises only one outlet opening.

17. The application nozzle in accordance with claim 7, wherein the edge or rib is constituted and formed such that the application nozzle has an increased bending stiffness or torsional stiffness in comparison with an application nozzle having a substantially round cross-section.

18. The application nozzle in accordance with claim 9, wherein the application nozzle has at least one flattened side surface.

19. The application nozzle in accordance with claim 18, wherein the application nozzle has two flattened side surfaces.

20. The application device in accordance with claim 11, wherein the application device is operated by a rechargeable battery.

10. An application system comprising:

an application nozzle for an application system for gel-like or pasty compositions, the application nozzle having an inlet region and an outlet region for the composition, and having a plane extending in a longitudinal direction of the application nozzle,

the outlet region comprising

a contact region for the application nozzle on a substrate standing perpendicular to the plane, and

an outlet opening for the composition,

the contact region and the outlet opening being delineated from on another structurally as two separate sections that are kinked with respect to one another, and the contact region being at least partly slanted.
