Abstract: A hand held adhesive dispensing gun of the type intended to be rotatably mounted at the end of a heated flexible hose through which adhesive is supplied to the gun. The gun body includes a pivot post extending outwardly from the gun barrel. This post is pivotally mounted within a heated pivot sleeve which extends for approximately the full length of the post. Heat imparted to the sleeve by an electrical resistance heater mounted therein maintains the adhesive in the post and the gun barrel in the molten state. The design is such that there is no need for an electrical resistance heater in the rotatable gun and thus no need for an electrical cord to extend between the rotatable gun and the non-rotatable flexible hose.
