Adhesive applicator with improved applicator tip
First Claim
1. An applicator for dispensing adhesive material, comprising:
- a container body, an adhesive material located in said container body, wherein said adhesive material is a polymerizable or cross-linkable monomer material, and an applicator tip, wherein said adhesive material is located in said container body in a non-contacting relationship with said applicator tip prior to dispensing said adhesive material, said applicator tip having a proximal open end open toward said container body for attachment to said container body, a distal end having at least one orifice, a restrictive flow portion located between said proximal end and said distal end, and a flow reducing portion located between said restrictive flow portion and said distal end, said applicator tip defining a fluid flow channel from said proximal end to said distal end and through said restrictive flow portion and said flow reducing portion, wherein said applicator tip permits said adhesive material to pass through said applicator tip and exit said applicator tip at said at least one orifice, and further comprising a shaped body of porous material, wherein said adhesive material is located in said container body in a non-contacting relationship with said porous material prior to dispensing said adhesive material, and wherein said applicator tip permits said adhesive material to pass through said porous material and exit said applicator tip at said at least one orifice.

Abstract
An applicator for dispensing adhesive material, includes a container body, and an applicator tip, where the adhesive material is located in the container body in a non-contacting relationship with the applicator tip prior to dispensing said adhesive material. The applicator tip has a proximal open end open toward said container body for attachment to the container body, a distal end having at least one orifice, a restrictive flow portion located between the proximal end and the distal end, and a flow reducing portion located between the restrictive flow portion and the distal end. The applicator tip defines a fluid flow channel from the proximal end to the distal end and through the restrictive flow portion and the flow reducing portion, where the applicator tip permits the adhesive material to pass through the applicator tip and exit the applicator tip at the at least one orifice.
