Patent number: 8561848Abstract: The inventive concept is directed to a caulking gun which has been extended for a considerable length. This extending of the length enables an impaired person to reach areas that need to be caulked. It also enables a person to reach remote areas that only can be reached by a ladder but the person cannot negotiate a ladder.

Publication number: 20120228334Abstract: A fluent material dispensing system comprising: a bottle, a plunger engaged inside the bottle, and a dispensing mechanism having a lever for operation of the plunger for fluid expulsion. The plunger may frictionally engage the bottle to a degree sufficient for holding the plunger in place against a force applied due to return motion of the lever. The dispensing mechanism may comprise a cap for attachment to an end of the bottle opposite a fluid outlet and a handle attached to the cap, the lever pivotally coupled to the cap, the lever and the handle aligned with the bottle. The dispensing mechanism may comprise a portioning mechanism configured to limit distance travelled by the lever from the rest position to the engaged position to a defined amount, thereby limiting expulsion of the fluid to a corresponding defined portion.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 23, 2012Publication date: September 13, 2012Inventors: Adrian Albert Van Wijk, Samuel Charles Richards, James William McDonald

Patent number: 8225964Abstract: Self-locking handheld adhesive dispensers and methods for dispensing an adhesive using a handheld dispenser. The self-locking handheld dispenser includes a valve, a trigger connected to the valve, and a spring-biased trigger lock mechanism used to lock and unlock the trigger. A locking member of the trigger lock mechanism normally has a blocking relationship with the trigger that prevents an incidental force applied to the trigger from opening the valve. The trigger is unlocked by manually moving a locking member of the trigger lock mechanism out of the blocking relationship with the trigger. The trigger is then freed to respond to an applied manual force and open the valve to dispense the adhesive. When the trigger is released, the valve closes and the spring biasing of the trigger lock mechanism automatically returns the locking member to the blocking relationship with the trigger so that the locked state is restored.Type: GrantFiled: June 9, 2009Date of Patent: July 24, 2012Assignee: Nordson CorporationInventor: Justin A. Clark

Patent number: 8181829Abstract: A suction and dispensing tool (1) comprises: a cylinder (10) storing the fluid; a nozzle (20); a piston moving forward and backward in the cylinder (10); a piston rod (40) for driving the piston; and two ratchet type driving mechanisms (60) for driving the piston rod (40) forward and backward. The driving mechanism (60) comprises: a frame (50) having a handle (52), mounted to the cylinder (10), and two triggers (80) rotatably attached to the frame (50) at the front and rear sides of the handle (52). By rotating each of the triggers (80) to the handle (52), the piston rod (40) can be moved forward or backward. The rotating operation of the trigger (80) requires power smaller than an operation for directly pushing and drawing the piston rod by hand. Accordingly, it becomes possible to refill and dispense a high viscosity oil easily.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 2009Date of Patent: May 22, 2012Assignee: Sanken Co., Ltd.Inventor: Hiroshi Nobusawa

Publication number: 20120031929Abstract: A dual-use type grease gun comprises a grease barrel and an end lid covering the grease barrel. A handle and a press-grip are disposed to a side of the end lid. A movable handgrip is slidably disposed on the press-grip, and a positioning component capable of positioning the movable handgrip is further disposed to the movable handgrip. The moment arm length of the press-grip can be changed to allow a user to select a single hand or both hands for operation by regulating the position of the movable handgrip relative to the press-grip according to different work environments and demands.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 8, 2010Publication date: February 9, 2012Applicant: SUCTION INDUSTRIAL CO., LTD.Inventor: Wen-I Guo

Publication number: 20120024887Abstract: Consistent volumes of viscous fluids are dispensed from a container configured to have a fixed volume, positive displacement pump assembly that receives and dispenses fixed volumes of the viscous liquids. Gravity causes viscous liquid in a container to fall through openings in a check valve. Pressure on the check valve by a user causes the valve to close. Additional pressure from the user drives the pump assembly downwardly to dispense captured liquid. The dispensed volume is controllable by controlling the displacement of an actuating lever Dispensing covers over the discharge holes prevent liquids from leaking out of the container.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 29, 2010Publication date: February 2, 2012Applicant: PRINCE CASTLE LLCInventor: Karl Heinze

Patent number: 8052015Abstract: A holder apparatus includes a handhold formed on an end thereof for holding and a barrel section extending from another end thereof. A clamping section is formed from the front end of the barrel section opposite to the handhold and includes two jaw portions joined together, two limited grooves respectively formed in and extending along the two jaw portions, two inner rim portions respectively defined against the two limited grooves and two clamping edges respectively formed on the inner wall of the two jaw portions related to the two limited grooves. The clamping edges grip a neck of a sprayer and support the bottom of a rim of a sprayer. A trigger element is pivotally connected to the barrel section. A C-shaped spring is disposed in the two limited grooves and grips the inner rim portions related to the two clamping edges.Type: GrantFiled: May 27, 2008Date of Patent: November 8, 2011Inventor: Chia-Hsing Huang
