Abstract: A method includes contacting a first guide, coupled to a body of a nozzle, with a first side of an object; biasing a gate toward the first guide so that a second guide contacts a second side of the object; moving the nozzle along the object while maintaining the first guide in contact with the first side, and the second guide in contact with the second side; and applying the bead of the glutinous substance to the surface via an outlet opening of the nozzle while moving the nozzle along the object, wherein width of the bead and flow of the glutinous substance through the outlet opening are controlled via movement of the gate relative to the body.

Abstract: A method (200) includes contacting a first guide (116), coupled to a body (110) of a nozzle (100), with a first side (108) of an object (104); biasing a gate (130) toward the first guide (116) so that a second guide (132) contacts a second side (109) of the object (104); moving the nozzle (100) along the object (104) while maintaining the first guide (116) in contact with the first side (108), and the second guide (132) in contact with the second side (109); and applying the bead (103) of the glutinous substance (101) to the surface (102) via an outlet opening (114) of the nozzle (100) while moving the nozzle (100) along the object (104), wherein width of the bead (103) and flow of the glutinous substance (101) through the outlet opening (114) are controlled via movement of the gate (130) relative to the body (110).

Abstract: A nozzle for applying a bead of a glutinous substance to a surface of an object comprises a body, a first guide, a gate, a second guide, and a biasing member. The body comprises an inlet opening and an outlet opening, joined by a channel. The first guide is coupled to the body. The gate is translatably coupled to the body. Movement of the gate relative to the body controls flow of the glutinous substance through the outlet opening, and width of the bead. The second guide is coupled to the gate. The biasing member is coupled to the body and to the gate. The biasing member urges the gate toward the first guide.

Abstract: A nozzle (100) for applying a bead (103) of a glutinous substance (101) to a surface (102) of an object (104) comprises a body (110), a first guide (116), a gate (130), a second guide (132), and a biasing member (150). The body (110) comprises an inlet opening (112) and an outlet opening (114), joined by a channel (115). The first guide (116) is coupled to the body (110). The gate (130) is translatably coupled to the body (110). Movement of the gate (130) relative to the body (110) controls flow of the glutinous substance (101) through the outlet opening (114), and width of the bead (103). The second guide (132) is coupled to the gate (130). The biasing member (150) is coupled to the body (110) and to the gate (130). The biasing member (150) urges the gate (130) toward the first guide (116).
