Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to pressure-sensitive adhesives and their application to desired surfaces, and more specifically to a handheld adhesive segment application apparatus.
  • thermoplastic adhesives have excellent adhering qualities; they can be softened by heating and firmed by cooling. These characteristics help thermoplastic adhesives produce waterproof, resilient, and long-lasting flexible bonds.
  • Thermoplastic adhesives have what is known as a "plastic memory,” meaning that each time a thermoplastic adhesive is heated, it can be molded into any desired form.
  • Thermoplastic adhesives have significant applications in today's industry. For example, in the preparation of mass mailings, marketers often desire to attach a card, such as a credit card or the like, to a carrier document so that a consumer can peel the card easily from the carrier document.
  • a card such as a credit card or the like
  • One method of making such an attachment involves the use of a pressure-sensitive, thermoplastic adhesive.
  • thermoplastic adhesives are routinely used and applied as small bond points to eliminate the use of mechanical fasteners, such as staples, screws, rivets, clips, snaps, nails, and stitching.
  • Thermoplastic adhesives are also extensively used in the packaging and manufacture of cartons, boxes and corrugated boards, bags, envelopes, disposable products (diapers and other paper products), cigarettes, labels, and stamps. In fact, today's demand for thermoplastic adhesives extends to very broad fields of use and is not limited to assembly line-like settings.
  • thermoplastic adhesive application at on-site locations from portable, simple-to-use, efficient, inexpensive, and safe dispensing apparatuses. Additionally, such dispensing apparatuses must be able to adhere thermoplastic adhesives to non-planar, recessed, difficult to reach, or unstable surfaces.
  • Previously known apparatuses and methods have failed to provide an adequate portable, simple-to-use, efficient, inexpensive, and safe dispensing device and a thermoplastic adhesive carrying medium capable of applying thermoplastic adhesives to non-planar, recessed, difficult to reach, or unstable surfaces.
  • thermoplastic adhesive applications have expanded from industrial use to home or school use, such as in art projects or crafting.
  • Scrapbooking, rubber stamping, sewing, gift basket making, and candlemaking are just a few examples of these newer arts and crafts, pressure-sensitive, thermoplastic adhesive uses.
  • these hobbies have developed over time, the need for a simple, portable apparatus for dispensing thermoplastic adhesives has become increasingly important.
  • thermoplastic adhesives Several different types of devices are available for applying thermoplastic adhesives.
  • hot glue guns dispense heated thermoplastic adhesive to an item or surface, however, there are safety concerns when using this type of applicator, especially in schools. Additionally, such devices are inconvenient to use where an electrical source is not readily available and they are not readily portable, as a hot glue gun device must be cooled before it can be transported and used in another location.
  • thermoplastic adhesive applicators are based on the industrial designs, and as such, they can be expensive to purchase, difficult to operate and heavy to transport for regular or routine use.
  • an adhesive segment applicator apparatus having an adhesive dispensing wheel and a take-up core system within a hosing.
  • the configuration of the adhesive applicator of the present invention allows the adhesive segments to be dispensed from the tape using a single hand, and using a single motion simultaneously dispense an adhesive segment and advance the next adhesive segment to a dispensing position.
  • the carrier release tape may be made from plain stock carrier release tape, which can be cut into individual tape strips either before or after the adhesive segment application processes.
  • the transverse width of the preferred embodiment is approximately one inch although the dimensions of the carrier release tape strips may vary in accordance with the advancement mechanism associated with the adhesive segment applicator apparatus of the present invention with which it is used.
  • the second surface of the carrier release tape has a coefficient of friction different from that of the first so that adhesive segments do not adhere to the second surface as strongly as they do to the first surface.
  • the adhesive segment applicator apparatus includes a carrier tape dispensing system comprising a supply wheel, a spent-tape take-up wheel and a roller are each rotatably mounted inside the housing of the adhesive segment applicator apparatus.
  • a roll of adhesive segment-laden carrier release tape is inserted onto the supply wheel and engages the supply wheel in a secure fashion, permitting the roll of adhesive segment-laden carrier release tape to rotate when the supply wheel rotates.
  • the supply wheel includes a gear system or another mechanism for engaging the take-up wheel.
  • the take-up wheel is also rotatably mounted inside the housing of the adhesive segment applicator apparatus.
  • the take-up wheel is operatively engaged to at least a portion of the gear teeth or gear system of supply wheel, permitting rotation of the supply wheel (and the roll of adhesive segment-laden carrier release tape) to drive rotation of the spent carrier tape take-up wheel.
  • An adhesive dispensing roller is also rotatably mounted to the housing of the adhesive segment applicator apparatus but is positioned so that a portion of the roller is located outside the housing to provide an area of contact for the roller to contact a surface or workpiece.
  • the adhesive segment applicator apparatus also may include a cap mounted to or removable from the housing of the adhesive segment applicator apparatus.
  • the roll of adhesive segment-laden carrier release tape and adhesive dispensing system (including the supply wheel and the take-up wheel) are substantially permanently enclosed within the housing of the adhesive segment applicator apparatus, rendering the applicator disposable.
  • the housing components are not separable once assembled so that once the adhesive on the roll of adhesive segment-laden carrier release tape is used, the roll is not replaceable.
  • the applicator housing and each of the components, including the supply wheel, take-up wheel and roller are constructed of an easily disposable, and most preferably recyclable, material.
  • the path of the adhesive segment-laden carrier release tape within the applicator provides the applicator with an automatic advancement function. Indeed, once mounted the roll is mounted on to the supply wheel, the carrier tape travels, with adhesive segments facing outwardly, from the supply wheel, out of the housing and over the roller at the point where an adhesive segment or segments are dispensed to the desired object or surface. The spent carrier tape then reenters the housing and passes over the roll of adhesive segment-laden carrier release tape where it is held in place within the housing by the exposed adhesive on the remaining roll of adhesive segment-laden carrier release tape on the supply wheel. The free end of the roll of adhesive segment-laden carrier release tape is mounted to the take-up wheel, and spent carrier tape is wound thereon.
  • the adhesive segment applicator apparatus of the present invention can be used to dispense adhesive to a workpiece and automatically advance the carrier tape to expose another adhesive segment to the workpiece.
  • the roller containing an exposed adhesive segment is placed in contact with the intended workpiece or application surface. The exposed adhesive segment is then applied to the intended surface by contacting the adhesive segment to the surface.
  • the carrier release tape is advanced by motion of the application process.
  • the adhesive segment is applied to the surface by moving the adhesive segment applicator apparatus across it in the operational direction.
  • This action causes the roller to rotate, and simulataneous advancement of the adhesive segments on the roll of carrier tape and winding of the spent carrier tape.
  • rotation of the roller drives the supply wheel, causing the spent carrier tape to be drawn into the housing, thereby automatically advancing the adhesive laden carrier tape.
  • the second surface of the spent carrier release tape adheres to the adhesive segments on the wound roll of adhesive segment-laden carrier release tape on the supply wheel and is held in place.
  • the second surface of the carrier release tape has a release property different from that of the first surface the adhesive segments do not adhere to it as strongly as they do to the first surface, the carrier tape can be advanced across the wound roll of adhesive segment-laden carrier release tape without pulling off adhesive segments from the roll.
  • an adhesive segment applicator in accordance with the present invention can be used easily to deposit a series or row of adhesive segments along a work piece surface and also wind spent carrier tape with a single motion, and using a single hand.
  • the compact, handheld adhesive segment applicator apparatus of the present invention includes a self-advancing adhesive dispensing system including an adhesive supply wheel, take-up wheel and roller that are each operatively engaged with eachother to permits automatic advancement of the adhesive segment-laden carrier release tape during application of an adhesive segment to a surface.
  • the present invention provides a adhesive segment applicator apparatus that automatically winds the spent carrier release tape onto a roll - thereby reducing the problem of scrap carrier tape interfering with the adhesive application process.
  • the adhesive segment applicator apparatus of the present invention may also be configured to be compact and handheld - therefore, rendering it easy to accurately dispense adhesive using a single hand, allowing the user to stabilize the surface or workpiece with another hand (if necessary).
  • the present invention can be disposable, such that the user may dispose of or recycle the device, rather then take the device apart for difficult or cumersome reloading thereof.
  • Each implementation of the adhesive segment applicator apparatus of the present invention is of a construction which is both durable and long lasting, and will require little or no maintenance to be provided by the user throughout its operating lifetime.
  • the adhesive segment applicator apparatuses of the present invention are also of inexpensive construction to enhance their market appeal and to thereby afford them the broadest possible market. Finally, all of the aforesaid advantages and objectives are achieved without incurring any substantial relative disadvantage.

  • FIG. 13 best illustrates the path of the adhesive segment-laden carrier release tape 52 within the applicator 50.
  • the carrier tape Once mounted on to the supply wheel 56, the carrier tape travels, with adhesive segments facing out, from the supply wheel 56, out of the housing 62 and over the roller 60 at the point where an adhesive segment(s) is dispensed to a surface 200
  • the spent carrier tape then continues over the roller 60, enters the housing 60 and passes over the roll of adhesive segment-laden carrier release tape 52 where it is held in place within the housing 60 by the exposed adhesive 54 on the remaining roll of adhesive segment-laden carrier release tape 52.
  • the free end of the roll of adhesive segment-laden carrier release tape 52 is mounted to the take-up wheel, and spent carrier tape is wound thereon. It will be appreciated that due to the respective sizes of the supply wheel 56 and the take-up wheel 58, a limited amount of slip or slack in the carrier tape is permitted inside the housing 62.
  • the housing 62 is secured together by aligning the locking pins 82 and side edge opening 75 in the rear housing portion 66 with the locking pins 98 and side edge opening 91 in the front housing portion 64.
  • each of the mounting shafts 76, 78 and 80 in the rear housing portion 66 will be aligned and engaged with each of the first, second and third prongs 90, 92 and 94 in the front housing portion 64.
  • the front and rear housing portions 64 and 66 are then secured together and locked into position by pushing the housing components together. Once assembled, it can be seen that a portion of the roller 60 is outside of the housing 62 to facilitate application of the adhesive to a work-piece or surface.
  • the applicator 50 is configured to be disposable, i.e. the housing components are not separable once assembled so that once the adhesive on the roll of adhesive segment-laden carrier release tape is used, the roll is not replaceable.
  • the applicator housing 62 and each of the components, including the supply wheel, take-up wheel and roller are constructed of an easily disposable, and most preferably recyclable, material.
  • the adhesive applicator 50 can be designed to be reusable, including the ability to easily separate the housing components 64 and 66 and replace an empty roll of adhesive segment-laden carrier release tape with a new roll of adhesive segment-laden carrier release tape.
  • the adhesive segment applicator apparatus 50 of the present invention can be used to dispense adhesive to a workpiece and automatically advance the carrier tape to expose another adhesive segment to the workpiece.
  • the adhesive segment-laden carrier release tape 52 is installed as described above, and an adhesive segment 54 is exposed at the roller 60 of the adhesive segment applicator 50.
  • the roller 60, containing the adhesive segment 54 is placed in contact with the intended workpiece or application surface 200.
  • the adhesive segment 54 is then applied to the intended surface 200 by contacting the adhesive segment 54 to the surface 200.
  • the carrier release tape is advanced by motion of the application process.
  • the adhesive segment 54 is applied to a surface 200, e.g., by moving the adhesive segment applicator apparatus 50 across the surface 200 in the direction 210, the roller 60 rotates in the direction 212.
  • the carrier tape can be advanced across the wound roll of adhesive segment-laden carrier release tape 52 without pulling off adhesive segments 54 from the roll.
  • an adhesive segment applicator apparatus 50 in accordance with the present invention and can be used easily to deposit a series or row of adhesive segments 53 along a work piece surface 200 and also wind spent carrier tape with a single motion, and using a single hand.
  • the opening 100 provides the applicator 50 with a manual advancement mechanism.
  • the adhesive segments can be advanced manually.
  • the user can rotate the supply wheel by gripping or moving the ribs 138 in the operational direction 216.
  • this motion will still cause simultaneous winding of the spent carrier tape on to the take-up wheel as described above.
