Patent number: 9566594Abstract: A device for applying a two-part adhesive to a substrate includes a carrier, a first tray coupled to the carrier, a first package disposed in the first tray, and a second package disposed in the first tray. The first package contains a first part of the two-part adhesive and the second package contains a second part of the two-part adhesive. The device further includes a applicator that is in communication with the first package and the second package. The applicator is configured to receive the first part and the second part and mix the first part and the second part to form the two-part adhesive. The device also includes a second tray coupled to the carrier and configured to accommodate a power supply that provides electrical power to operate the device.Type: GrantFiled: June 5, 2014Date of Patent: February 14, 2017Assignee: ADCO Products, LLCInventors: James Galvin, David L. Kunkle, James D. Haaser, Paul E. Snowwhite, Ronald Vollmer, John William Miller

Patent number: 9381536Abstract: An apparatus for concurrently applying to a substrate a plurality of substantially parallel strips of an adhesive is provided. The apparatus includes a housing or carrier with motive supports for transporting the carrier along a path of travel over the substrate. A plurality of cradles are mounted on the carrier and are arranged in a line transversely of the path of travel of the carrier over the substrate. Each cradle is adapted to hold a canister of the adhesive. A discharging mechanism is mounted on the carrier and is adapted, when a driving force is applied, to concurrently discharge the adhesive from the plurality of canisters in the cradles. Also mounted on the carrier is an actuating mechanism for selectively providing a driving force to the discharging mechanism. The discharging mechanism may include at least one plunger located at each cradle.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2012Date of Patent: July 5, 2016Assignee: ADCO PRODUCTS, LLCInventors: James Galvin, Paul Snowwhite, Ronald Vollmer
