Patent number: 10780454Abstract: A sealant applicator nozzle, of the present technology, has a fan-shaped profile, with a broad concave arc that defines a distal end of the nozzle and provides the nozzle with a tooling edge. The concave tooling edge, along with the outlet orifice, and two surface-contact edges are positioned to equidistantly straddle a lap joint to be sealed when in operation. In methods of using the nozzle, a wide ribbon of sealant is applied in a smoothly arched geometry, forming a segment of a circle, over a lap joint so that the thickest part of the arch is centered directly on the edge of the overlapping material that forms the lap joint.Type: GrantFiled: February 3, 2017Date of Patent: September 22, 2020Assignee: SASHCO, INC.Inventors: Wayne L.

Patent number: 9409201Abstract: A system and method for providing custom colored sealant are generally provided with a dispensing container, containing a quantity of sealant base solution. A bottom wall of the dispensing container is positioned to limit any headspace within the interior of the dispensing container until the contents are ready to be mixed. The bottom wall is moved prior to adding a coloring agent to the dispensing container, which is mixed with the sealant base by agitating the dispensing container, until a desired color is attained. A sealant thickener may then be added and mixed by similar agitation of the dispensing container. A rod may be provided to engage and move the bottom wall. A pull string may also be provided to move the bottom wall. A nozzle is then coupled with the dispensing container and the custom-colored sealant is ready to be dispensed.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2014Date of Patent: August 9, 2016Assignee: SASHCO, INC.Inventors: Wayne Summons, Elliot Summons

Patent number: 8397470Abstract: An angled bracket having first and second opposing, generally planar sections is positioned so that protrusions extending from the first planar section engage a portion of roof sheathing and the second planar section is positioned against a rafter. Mechanical fasteners may secure the second planar section to the rafter. Adhesive is disposed through fill apertures in the first planar section until a layer of adhesive is formed between the bracket and the sheathing. A second angular section may extend from the opposite side of the bracket, enabling the bracket to sandwich the rafter. Gussets may be used to brace the first and second planar sections. Indicator apertures allow a user to ensure the layer of adhesive substantially covers the first planar section.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 2010Date of Patent: March 19, 2013Assignee: Sashco, Inc.Inventors: Wayne Summons, Elliot Summons

Patent number: 4948016Abstract: A container for materials having volatile components is constructed to have a substantial transparency. The container includes a tubular housing having first and second closing structures at opposite ends. The housing is formed as a laminate having a relatively thin inner lining of high barrier amorphous nylon for contacting the material having a volatile component and an outer sleeve of low barrier plastic, such as polyethylene teraphthalate. The container is specifically adapted for viscous caulking compounds wherein the first closing structure is an end wall, nozzle and snout assembly and wherein the second closing structure is defined by a movable piston slideably received in the housing interior.Type: GrantFiled: September 9, 1988Date of Patent: August 14, 1990Assignee: Sashco, Inc.Inventors: Wayne L.

Patent number: 4863014Abstract: A product for the building industry includes a container having opposed transparent sidewall portions and a transparent caulking compound contained therein so that the appearance of a substrate surface with the caulking compound may be previewed before actual application of the caulk. A dispensing nozzle is provided at a downstream end and has a resealable cap. The container has a flexible sidewall that is flattened at an upstream end to form a region of reduced thickness so that a mass of caulking compound therein has a flattened configuration with this mass confined between the facing transparent sidewall portions. Preferably the entire sidewall is transparent and has index markings correlated to available bead length of the caulk remaining in the container. The flexible sidewall permits manual dispensing and allows a crease to be made thereby forming a preview packet.Type: GrantFiled: October 7, 1988Date of Patent: September 5, 1989Assignee: Sashco, Inc.Inventors: Wayne L.
