- TITLE APPLICATOR TIP FOR DISPENSING SEAMING ADHESIVE TO SEAM ADJACENT PIECES OF FLOOR-COVERING MATERIAL AND METHOD FOR USING SAME
- Linoleum was commonly seamed by laying the vertical side edges of adjacent layers in close abutment, folding back the adjacent marginal portions of the floor- covering layers to expose the sub-floor, applying a band of water-resistant adhesive to the sub-floor along the line of abutment using a spatula-like tool called a ' spreader " , then bringing the marginal portions back down onto the sub-floor, and hand-rolling the seam to complete the operation.
- the rigid-backed vinyl was seamed in the same fashion as the linoleum, except that an excess of the sub-floor adhesive was applied to the sub-floor along the line of abutment, with the hope that it would squeeze up between the abutting side edges when they were pressed down, to seal and bond them together.
- a "prior art" applicator tip is shown.
- This prior art applicator tip was designed to wet the vertical side edges of the floor-covering with a solvent-base liquid seaming adhesive.
- the tip is adapted to raise the flat marginal portions of the floor-covering as it passes along the seam, thereby exposing the vertical side edges while wetting them with seaming adhesive. More particularly, the installer inserts the tip between the floor-covering side edges and beneath the adjacent marginal portions. He then pulls the tip along the seam.
- the tip is
- the prior tip comprises an upstanding, body having, from top to bottom, a leg portion, a relatively narrow ankle portion, and a pair of opposing wedges extending from the ankle portion.
- the leg portion comprises coupling means at its upper end for connecting it with the seaming adhesive supply squeeze bottle, a longitudinal open-ended passageway extending downwardly through the leg, and an orifice extending through the ankle portion having communication with the longitudinal passageway to allow seaming adhesive to flow out the orifice on each side of the ankle onto the edges of the floor-covering being seamed together.
- a seaming adhesive applicator tip for dispensing seaming adhesive onto the edges of pieces of adjacent floor-covering material is provided.
- the applicator tip can comprise, from top to bottom, a leg portion, a relatively narrow ankle portion and a foot portion.
- the body can connect with a seaming adhesive dispensing device to allow seaming adhesive to flow into a passageway in the body.
- the ankle portion can comprise an orifice extending through the applicator tip from side-to-side that intersects with the passageway so that seaming adhesive can flow through the orifice.
- the foot portion can comprise a pair of opposing wedges extending sideways from the body.
- the applicator tip can be drawn along a line of
- the ankle portion can further comprise a glue channel that directs the edges of the floor-covering material towards the orifice so that seaming adhesive can be dispensed along the edges and along the bottom surfaces of the edges.
- a method for seaming adjacent pieces of floor-covering planar material comprising the steps of: fitting the adjacent pieces of floor-covering planar material together wherein edges of the adjacent pieces are abutted to one another; providing a seaming adhesive applicator tip for seaming the abutting side-by-side pieces of floor-covering planar material with adhesive along a line of abutment, the applicator tip comprising: an upright body comprising, from top to bottom, a leg portion, a relatively narrow ankle portion, and a foot portion, the body having a leading edge and a trailing edge which are aligned with the line of abutment, the leg portion forming a passageway extending longitudinally therethrough, the leg portion comprising connection means at its upper end for connection with a seaming adhesive dispenser, whereby seaming adhesive may flow from the dispenser into the leg passageway, the foot portion having a pairing of opposing wedges extending sideways from the body for uplifting and tilting the edges of the
- Figure 1 is a side elevation view depicting a prior art applicator tip.
- applicator tip 10 can comprise, from top to bottom, leg portion 12, ankle portion 16 and foot portion 18.
- Leg portion 12 can comprise opening 14, which can further comprise coupling means for attaching to, and detaching from, a squeeze bottle containing seaming adhesive (not shown) or to a thermoplastic adhesive dispensing device, such as a
- Ankle portion 16 can comprise leading edge 36 and trailing edge 38.
- Ankle orifice 20 can extend through ankle portion 16 and intersect with passageway 15 inside applicator tip 10.
- Ankle portion 16 can be disposed above foot portion 18, which can comprise a pair of opposing wedges 22 extending sideways from applicator tip 10, and keel 19 extending downwards therefrom.
- Each wedge 22 can comprise a sloping top surface 26 and flat bottom surface 28.
- Recessed area 30 can be disposed into top surface 26 of each wedge 22.
- Ankle orifice 20 can be disposed on ankle portion 16 such that a bottom portion of orifice 20 can intersect with, or otherwise cut into, the top surface of recessed area 30.
- ankle orifice 20 can have a diameter of approximately 5/64".
- ankle portion 16 can further comprise glue channel opening 32 on leading edge 36.
- glue channel opening 32 can narrow as it gradually becomes glue channel 34 that extends towards trailing edge 38.
- orifice 42 can have a larger diameter, relative to orifice 40, so to allow adhesive to be extended outward approximately 5/8" out from applicator tip 10 onto the seaming tape when adhesive is applied using a squeeze bottle or a hot melt glue gun.
- the diameter of orifice 42 can range from 5/64" to 3/32".
- the diameters of orifices 40 and 42 can be in the lower end of the range when applicator tip 10 is used with hot melt glue.
- the diameters of orifices 40 and 42 can be in the higher end of the range when applicator tip 0 is used with cold glue.
