Abstract: A novel motor controlled microvalve dispenser includes a body section through which fluid, e.g., adhesives, epoxies, fluxes solder pastes, for example, is accurately dispensed as a dot or bead or other shape, all of a predetermined dimension. The housing includes a removable and replaceable insert which prevents any of the fluid from contacting any of the interior walls of the housing or of the infeed passage. The insert includes both an infeed passage which extends out of the housing and an outlet passage also extending out of the housing, the insert including a bore into which a feed screw or auger is sealingly positioned for rotation by the motor. Attached to outlet passage is an applicator or tip dispenser such as a removable and replaceable dispensing needle.

Abstract: An apparatus utilizing a conventional pneumatic tire valve mounted concentrically within a resilient seal for cooperative action with a seat structure to accomplish three-way valve operation effective in pressurizing and relieving a chamber of a dispensing gun as for mastic material. A valve seat member: defines a flow passage, affords a flat surface about the passage for seating engagement with the resilient seal member, and receives a set screw for engaging the core of the conventional tire valve. The tire valve and the resilient seal member are fixed on a handle that is pivotably mounted with respect to the seat member to afford relative motion with respect to the seat member for variously actuating the valve.
