  • Glue gun system with removable cartridges
    Patent number: 5664701
    Abstract: The glue gun system includes a gun having a barrel. A cartridge can be removably placed in the barrel. The cartridge has an open central passage to accept a glue slick and a tip to dispense the glue. Once received into the barrel the cartridge is heated, melting the glue therein. Additional cartridges can be maintained in a heated state by a heating stand. Thus, after one glue stick is used, a second can be immediately installed and used. An insulated tab allows for the easy handling of the cartridges.

  • Glue gun holder
    Patent number: 5429331
    Abstract: The present glue gun provides a stable frame in which to rest a glue gun. The holder (10) is formed by a pair of opposed side walls (12, 14) attached to a base (16). A partition (18) connects the opposed side walls. A notch (30) formed on the upper surface of the partition can accept the barrel of the glue gun. A portion of the base extends beyond the partition to catch any drips from the glue gun tip. Pockets (20, 22) can be found in the side walls. An optional heat shield (44) can be removably attached to the base or side walls and protects the user from accidental burns.
