Description
- The present invention refers to a nozzle for dispensing a fluid that automatically adapts its shape when it is applied on a surface on which a fluid is intended to be dispensed.
- One object of the invention is to provide a nozzle configured to be applied on pieces of different geometries (height, thickness...) on which a fluid is intended to be dispensed.
- Another object of the invention is to provide a nozzle with which the fluid is suitable applied by a single application on a surface, to reduce the waste of fluid, at the same time that savings in cost and time are obtained.
- In parts manufacturing processes, and particularly, in the manufacturing of carbon fibre composite parts, cut edges have to be preserved to prevent galvanic corrosion on attached metal parts. To avoid such corrosion, cut edges have to be sealed.
- As shown in
Figure 1 , the current application of sealant products (10) on the surfaces (8) of these cut edges is manually performed with the help of a roller (9). - Further, in most of the cases the sealant product (bi-component) has to be mixed on a tray before being spread with the roller.
- This way, the current process of applying the sealant usually requires:
- the manual mixing of the components,
- the manual application of the sealant with a foam roller,
- the application of two consecutive layers with the roller.
- This current process of application entails a waste of sealant, effort and time.
- It would therefore be desirable to provide technical means that allow to simplify the application of a fluid on a surface in order to reduce the cost and time that are currently required. In addition, it would be desirable that this technical means are adapted for being used on surfaces with different geometries that allows extending its use to multiple types of surfaces.

US6558060B1 describes a handheld guidewire lubrication device in conjunction with a guidewire. The device has a fluid reservoir for storing a lubricating fluid, where the reservoir has an exterior surface with a first and second face portions, and the reservoir is flexible to allow the first and second face portions to be brought into opposition. The first and second face portions have a compressible permeable material positioned on the face portions, and the compressible material is in fluid communication with the interior of the reservoir. - The present invention overcomes the above mentioned drawbacks by providing a flexible nozzle that is configured to automatically adapt its shape to surfaces of different geometries.
- The invention refers to a flexible (adaptable, compressible) nozzle for dispensing a fluid along a surface that has an elongated body, and comprises an inlet for receiving a fluid and at least one channel for allowing the received fluid to be extended along its body.
- The body of the nozzle is formed by a first and a second part. The first part has a C-shaped cross-sectional configuration and comprises two opposite internal sides. The second part has an elongated configuration and is attached to both internal sides of the first part, leaving a gap in-between for receiving the surface on which the fluid is to be dispensed.
- Both first and second parts are made of flexible (deformable or compressible) materials, where at least, a first direction of flexion is defined by the first part and a first direction of compression is defined by the second part. Along the first direction of flexion, the nozzle flexes in an oblique direction to a longitudinal axis of the nozzle, whereas along the first direction of compression, the interior part of the nozzle is compressed following a transversal axis of the nozzle.
- The first direction of flexion allows the nozzle to receive and adapt to parts with different heights and curvatures, and the first direction of compression allows the nozzle to receive and adapt to parts with different thickness. This way, the invention provides a nozzle that is configured to be used in pieces of multiple geometries.

This flexibility (elasticity) helps to provide a proper application of the fluid, covering the entire surface on which the fluid is applied with a single application.
- In addition, the flexibility (elasticity) of the second part, prevents the excess of fluid to produce leakages on the surface manufactured. This avoids the waste of fluid, and ensures a suitable application on the surface.
- Further, the first part of the nozzle has an accordion-shaped configuration, comprising a plurality of spaced plates joined by a folding base, wherein said base comprises the at least one channel to let the fluid to pass towards the gap.
- Further, the nozzle is configured to provide an easy adaptation to a tool to simplify and automate, at least in part, the application of fluid on a surface.
- For a better comprehension of the invention, the following drawings are provided for illustrative and non-limiting purposes, wherein:
-

Figures 2a-2d show a nozzle (1) for dispensing a fluid (7) along a surface (8) according to a preferred embodiment of the invention. The nozzle (1) has an elongated body, on which a longitudinal (L) and a transversal axis (T) can be defined. - The elongated body comprises an inlet (4) for receiving a fluid (7), and at least one channel (6) for allowing the fluid (7) to be extended along its body.
- The nozzle (1) is formed by two parts, a first part (2) and a second part (3). The first part (2) has a C-shaped cross-sectional configuration, and comprises two opposite internal sides (5). The second part (3) has an elongated configuration, and is attached to both internal sides (5) of the first part (3), leaving a gap (12) in-between for receiving the surface (8) on which the fluid (7) is to be dispensed.
- Both first and second parts (2, 3) are made of flexible materials such that at least a first direction of flexion (D1F) and a first direction of compression (D1C) are respectively defined, the first direction of flexion (D1F) being oblique to a longitudinal axis (L) of the nozzle (1), and the first direction of compression (D1C) being along to a transversal axis (T) of the nozzle (1).
- Having the first part (2) configured to flex in an oblique direction to a longitudinal axis (L) of the nozzle (1), enables the nozzle to adapt to pieces with different heights and/or curvatures, whereas having the second part (3) configured to flex in a transverse direction of the nozzle (1), enables the nozzle to adapt to pieces with different widths.
-
Figures 3a-3c show possible directions of flexion and compression.Figure 3a shows two different directions of flexion (D1F, D1F') experienced by the first part (2) of the nozzle (1). Both directions of flexion (D1F, D1F') ofFigure 3a are contained in a vertical longitudinal plane of the nozzle (13) shown inFigure 3c . By making the nozzle capable of flexing in directions contained in this plane, the nozzle can be adapted to surfaces of different heights. -
Figure 3b shows the first direction of compression (D1C) experienced by the second part (3) of the nozzle (1). The compression of this second part (3) along this first direction of compression (D1C) allows the nozzle to adapt to surfaces of different widths. -
Figure 3c shows planes (13, 14) on which the first directions of flexion and compression can be contained. - As already mentioned and shown in

Thus, the invention provides a versatile solution for applying a fluid on surfaces with multiple configurations.
