UP-RIGHT ADHESIVE summer: .g flfus w jwilson, "Huntingdon, Pa a ssigfnor "to Prism Prbdifm S,. Dayton. "o iiio, "acr m- This invention relates 130 2a ldflfiiqe for dispensing small pellets, ,and is designed-p m ri ytor applying minute :glass spheres tho-vertical surfaces.
It is common practice ,icr municipalities to paint or otherwise mark sections of.st;reet1curbs to designate parking restrictions or :th ;like. Refiectoriz'ed :trafiic stripes and cthermarkines being extensively used-0Y1streets and {h hway to provide improved night visibility, and for a like reason it is desirable that curb markin s be reflectorized. Reflectori'zed markings on :horizontal or substantially horizontal surfaces are provided by applying to :the surface to be zme fked a layer of a light colored .paintelikvbinder,iof the desired dimensions, and distributing over :said
binder, before it has dried, a. multiplicity of minute reflex-reflecting elements, -':usually glass spheres, which sink into :and Bare partially im-- bedded in the binder. The-spheres 'thus project above the binder and refiectfiightirom;the;head
lights of -an automobile-back .to the driver of that automobile. It is i-impractical kto refle'ctorize an upright surface of a curb orthe like by such a'method because of the "difficulty of applying 'the spheres to the w'et Ibinder {on said surface a curb.
JA further object or theinvehticii is rte :provide a. dispensing device which"can beaeasily manipulated to distribute small :pellet'scrra vertical or sharply inclined surface iwith substantial :lmi-
formity and without material waste. e A "further object of the invention ;is :to rIjI'OYid V such a dispensing device which :can {be easily manipulated by one: hand of-.the,;operator.
A further object of the-invention isrto-provi'de such a dispenser which -Wil1 apply" the .aproper quantity. of "pellets to the surface z bein'g Etreaited regardless of the speed at-whichethe dispenser-is moved: along? that surface.

fiherein used to include's'maill object's, g'raiiiie spaced some distance beyond the plane of the front wall of'the receptacle. Y
Suitable means are provided for controlling the v flow of the pellets through the outlet 15, and in i this form of the device a closure or gate 29 is supported beneath the bottom of the receptacle for movement'into and out of a position toclose 3 the outlet. Preferably the closure is'in the nature of a flat plate slidably mounted in the space between th rear portion IQ of the chute and the bottom wall of the receptacle'and is movable for-; j
,wardly and rearwardly to close and open the out 1;
let; An inclined lip 2| is carried bythe bottom wall in front of the outlet and arrangedto be en'- gaged by the forward end of the closure to'force the latter intotight engagement with the bottom wall when it is moved to its closed position.'
Thedispenser is provided with suitable means whereby it may be supported and manipulated,
fandthis means is here shown as a handle 22 rigidly secured to the back wall l2-of the receptacle. Any suitable operating means may be provided for actuating the closure but preferably this means is of such a character that it can'be actuated by the hand which grasps the handle 22. 'Iri'the particular arrangement illustrated this actuating means comprises a U-shaped lever 23 thearms of which are pivotally mounted between their ends on the respective end walls of the refceptacle. The lower portions 24 of the arms are connected with the closure 29, as by pivotally mounting the same on trunnions' 25 secured to and: extending outwardly beyond the respective edges of the closeup. The upper portions 26 of the arms extend upwardly and rearwardly so that thetransverse member or cross bar 21 of the lever extends across and is locatedadjacent to the upper, portion of the handle where it may be easily engaged and actuated by the thumb of the hand which graspsythe handle, the arrangement being such that a forward thrust on the cross bar will move the closure to outlet :opening position. The closure is yieldably urged. toward and retained inputletclosing position. In the arrangem'ent shown there is mounted on one, or both, of
the end walls I3 a spring 28 which actsjon the :lower portion of the. adjacent lever arm to'move thelclosure to outlet closing position when the pressure on the cross baris relieved. The lever ma'y conveniently be, "and is here shown as,
formed of'stiff wire bent to the desired shape,
- I; each arm being provided with a coiledportion 29 which is mounted on a'stud 30 projecting from thejadjacent end wall of the receptacle.
' When the pellets are to be applied to an up' right surface to which a binder'has been applied,
or which has otherwise been rendered adhesive, the operator grasps the handle 22, positions the forward edge of, the chute IT close to but out of contact with the adhesive surface and then moves the device-as a whole upwardlyso that the discharge end of the chute'moves upwardly in close relation to the adhesive surface-As this "upward movement begins theleveris actuated to open the outlet so that the pellets will flow 1 through the outlet onto the inclined chute,"-willbe distributed over the upper surface thereof and will be discharged from-the lower end of the-chute withv suflicient momentum to cause them to impin'ge againfst the adhesive surface. Thus upon each upward movement of the dispenser pellets 1 4 relation to the flow of is to avoid the discharge of more pellets than will adhere to the surface and to determine the ex-- tent to which the pellets, will cover the surface There may, of course, be some excess of pellets discharged from the chute, but in normal oper-' ation this'ex'ce'ss-will be 'small and the wastage of pellets 'w'ill bene'g'ligible.
' It is desirable that means be provided for prop I 'erly positioning the discharge end of the chute with relation to the adhesive surface and for maintaining it, in that position during the vertical movement of the dispenser. For this purpose the lo'weror discharfgerend of the chute may be pro- 15 videdwith guides having narrow edges to contact the verticalsu'rfaceand move over the same without adhering? thereto and without materially displacing the adhesive. Preferably these guides are in the "nature of rollers mounted adjacent the edges of the chute, and in the arrangement shown each roller-comprisesa ball bearingrthe inner race 31 of which 'isimounted on a rod 32 secured to and extending laterally beyond the lower portion of the chute. The outer race 33 has secured thereto an annular. member, such as a rubber tire 34,whichis V-FShaped in cross'section so as to provide the same witha sharp' circumferential edge which willengage the adhesive surface and move over the same without leaving any appreciablemark thereon; a- I In applying'the pellets to the surface the dispenser-may, of course, be moved either upwardlyor dowriwardlyjbut a much more'satisfactory application of thepellets is had when the receptacle is 'moved u'pwardly during the dispensing operation. I
In Figs; 6 and "I there is shown a dispenser havinglmeansnfor controlling the flow of pellets through the outlet in accordance with the distanjce I which the dispenser moves with relation tothesurface; being treated, thus providing a uniform distribution of pellets onthe surface regardless of the speed" at which the dispenser .m'oves. The receptacle 35 is similar tothe re- Mounted. within the. receptacle between the will'be distributed substantially uniformly over a portion of the surface having a Width approximately equal to the width of the chute. The speed i at which the dispenser is moved is regulated with spaced lower ends of the members 38 is a metering device which is here shown as. a fluted rotor 4c. The lower-portion of the rotor extends slightly beyond thelowler edges of the members 38 and has sealing-contact with the adja'cent ends of the sealing members .39. When the rotor is stationary it completely closes the "outlet '31 and when it is rotated the flutes therein are filled with pellets and moved successively into. line with the outlet, where the pellets are: discharged through the outlet. The sealing members 39 are adjustable, as by means of screws 4| to maintain the same in sealing contact withthe rotor. A chute 62 similar to the chute." is secured to the lower portion of the receptacle and provided at its lower or discharge edge with rollers 43 having sharp circumferential ed es, as abovedescribed; A driving connection is established .betweenat least one of the rollers 4,3 and the rotor'so that the pellets through the outlet rotary movement 'imparted'to that roller as it moves over thel'surface being treated-is transmitted to the rotor and the latter is rotated at a speed conforming to the speed of rotation of the roller. Thus the quantity of pellets discharged from the receptacle is determined by the speed at 'which'the receptacle is moved during the dispensing' operation. The driving connection betails thereof as various'modifications may occur to aperson skilledin the'art, 1
