Abstract

This invention relates to a spreader assembly for an adhesive container having an elongated dispenser neck comprising a holder containing a porous spreader adapted to removably engage the elongated neck of the adhesive container and having claws deformable by said neck to secure said porous spreader, said holder containing a porous spreader when engaged with said dispenser neck extends beyond the tip of said dispenser neck.

Claims

1. A spreader assembly for an adhesive container having an elongated dispenser neck, comprising a holder containing a porous spreader, said holder adapted to removably engage the elongated neck of the adhesive container by means of cooperating screw threads on an inner wall of said holder and on the outer wall of said elongated neck and said holder having claws pivoted by said neck to engage said spreader and to hold said spreader against the outer wall of the holder to secure said porous spreader, said holder containing the porous spreader when engaged with said dispenser neck extends beyond the top of said dispenser neck.

2. The spreader assembly of claim 1 wherein said porous spreader is a non-absorbent foamed plastics material.

3. The spreader assembly of claim 2 wherein said non-absorbent foamed plastics material is selected from the group consisting of polyethylene foamed sponge and neoprene foamed sponge.

4. An adhesive dispenser comprising an adhesive container having an elongated dispenser neck with an open tip, and a holder containing a porous spreader extending above the walls of said holder, said holder adapted to removably engage said elongated dispenser neck by means of cooperating screw threads on the inner walls of said holder and on the outer wall of said elongated neck and said holderhaving claws pivoted by said dispenser neck to engage said spreader and to hold said spreader against the wall of the holder to secure said porous spreader, said porous spreader in said holder when said holder is engaged with said dispenser neck extends beyond the tip of said dispenser neck.

5. The adhesive dispenser of claim 5 wherein the outer wall of said holder containing a porous spreader is adapted to receive a cap and said adhesive dispenser also comprises a cap fully enclosing said holder containing a porous spreader and adatped to plug said open tip in said elongated dispenser neck.

6. The adhesive dispenser of claim 7 wherein said cap has a coaxial plug adapted to engage and seal said open tip of said elongated dispenser neck.

7. The adhesive dispenser of claim 7 wherein said adhesive container has a cylindrical body and wherein the outer wall of said holder and the outer wall of said cap have the same diameter as said adhesive container.
