Manual dispenser for thermoplastic material
First Claim
1. A hand held dispenser for thermoplastic material, comprising:
- a casing forming a manual holding means, said casing enclosing a material holding space for receiving a mass of thermoplastic material initially in a solid state, said casing having an open outlet end communicating with said space, said open outlet end defining an outlet surface through which the thermoplastic material flows out of said material holding space;
means for advancing the thermoplastic material toward the open end of said casing; and
heating means for heating the thermoplastic material to a flowable state,wherein said heating means are arranged in a substantially homogeneous manner substantially parallel to said outlet surface and have dimensions which correspond to dimensions of said outlet surface, andfurther wherein said heating means further constitute means for distributing thermoplastic material in a flowable state in the form of a sheet on a receiving surface.

Abstract
Hand held dispenser for thermoplastic material including a casing forming a manual holding element and enclosing a space for receiving a mass of thermoplastic material in a solid state, the casing having an open outlet end communicating with the space; a component for advancing the thermoplastic material toward the open end of the casing, and a heating element for heating the thermoplastic material to a flowable state, wherein the heating element has a low thermal inertia, is arranged in a substantially homogeneous manner across a surface disposed opposite the open end and having dimensions which correspond to dimensions of the open end and wherein the heating element further acts to distribute thermoplastic material in a flowable state in the form of a sheet on a receiving surface.
