ATTORNEY AEROSOL CAULKING ASSEMBLY The present invention broadly relates to an improved aerosol calking mechanism by which viscous fluids of wide ranges of viscosities may be readily and efficiently applied to the desired areas. The mechanism is particularly useful since it permits the calking operator to fully concentrate on the area of application of the calking material and to uniformly apply the material to desired areas. The power required to displace the calking material from the container is supplied by the unique aerosol calking mechanism thereby permitting the operator to fully concentrate on the mode and degree of application.
The mechanism of the present invention may be readily understood by reference to the drawings illustrating adaptations of the same.
F IG. 1 is a side view of the overall mechanism at a reduced scale.
FIG. 2 is a view similar to FIG. 1 at a larger scale with parts broken away and in section.
FIG. 3 is an end view of FIG. 2.
FIG. 4 illustrates in some detail one side of the front locking element of the metal cartridge assembly when open.
FIG. 5 illustrates the other side of the front locking element when open.
FIG. 6 is a section on lines 6-6 of FIGS. 4 and 5.
FIG. 7 is an enlarged fragmentary view of a portion of FIG.
FIG. 8 illustrates in some detail the actuator assembly.
FIG. 9 shows a modification of the mechanism.
FIG. 10 illustrates an adaption of the invention wherein by suitable means the calking cartridge is moved rearwardly in a manner to depress the aerosol tip of the energizer.
Referring specifically to FIG. 1, a cartridge nozzle 1 protrudes through the front locking ring element 2 which nozzle is securely attached to the calking material cartridge 3. The material cartridge, or adhesive tube 3, seats in a material cartridge cradle 14 between front locking ring element 2 and base seating element 10 which will be hereinafter more specifically described. The front locking ring 2 comprises a face plate and a cap 23 which is rotatable about cradle 14. The locking ring element 2 is characterized by having diagonal slots 22 and 25 into which seat cam pins and 24, which cam pins are rigidly affixed to cradle 14. (See FIGS. 4, 5 and 6.) Thus, as locking ring 2 is rotated about cradle 14, the locking ring 2 moves along the longitudinal axis of cradle 14 thereby securely seating calking material cartridge 3 between locking ring 2 and the base seating element 10. An aerosol container housing 26 is rigidly affixed to base seating element 10.
A housing 13 to support the front end of actuating bar 12 is securely affixed to the lower side of cradle 14. Housing 13 contains slots 27 the forward ends of which are horizontal and the rear ends of which protrude upwardly at an angle of about 45. Cam pins 28 are securely attached to the front end of the forward actuating bar 12. These cam pins 28 move within slots 27 when the forward actuated bar 12 is moved by trigger 35. It is readily apparent that the rearward movement of bar 12 in the initial stages of activation is greater than in the later stages of trigger activation. FIG. 3 illustrates in detail a front view of the assembly with respect to FIG. 1 showing the trigger assembly, the rotating ears 20 and 21, the cams l5 and 24 which move in locking slots 22 and 25.
Referring specifically to FIG. 2, elements similar with respect to FIGS. 1 and 3 are similarly designated. Calking cartridge 3 comprises a plunger 4 which, A base activated, moves forward in cartridge 3 to eject the calking compound from the cartridge through nozzle 1. Forward actuating bar 12 is rotatably attached to a rear actuating trigger bar 17 by means of pivot pin 19. Rear actuating bar 17 rotates about pivot 18. One end of rear actuating bar 17 contains a contact hammer 29 which is adapted to press against the rear of aerosol energizer 30 moving the same forward in a manner to depress nozzle 33 and thus release gas through gas orifice 6. A base cap 8 is positioned on the rear of housing 26.
Base seating element 10 is characterized by having a circular recess in the face thereof into which is positioned a gasket 11. The rear circular edge of cartridge case 3 seats into recess 31 securely against gasket 11 thereby preventing any gas seepage therethrough. When nozzle 33 is depressed, gas flows from energizer 30 through orifice 6 into gas chamber 5 and thus moves plunger 4 forward.
FIGS. 4 and 5 illustrate details of the rotatable front locking ring 2 showing the locking slots groove therein, 25 and the cam pins 15 and 24 which pins are securely attached to cradle 14. FIG. 6 illustrates in further detail the structure of front locking ring element 2.
FIG. 7 illustrates in detail the base seating element 10 showing the gasket 11 positioned in recess 31 and the rear circular edge of cartridge 3 seated securely against the gasket. Energizer 30 is positioned within housing 26 in a manner that when the energizer moves forward nozzle 33 will be depressed thereby permitting gas to flow through orifice 6 into gas chamber 5. FIG. 8 illustrates the rear actuating trigger bar depressed in a manner to remove the base cap 8 and to position energizer 30 within housing 26. FIG. 9 illustrates a modification of the trigger assembly wherein, as when trigger 35 is moved rearwardly, the forward actuating trigger bar 12 will slide upwardly and rearwardly within a forward trigger housing 13. The rear end of bar 12 will press about pivot lower end of rear actuating trigger bar 17 causing it to rotate about pivot 18 and thus press against the rear of energizer 30 by a spring means 36.
As pointed out heretofore, the broad concept of the present invention comprises a calking assembly applicator wherein the plunger is moved forward within the cartridge case by gas released from an aerosol or equivalent element or energizer. This action may be secured by means as described heretofore or may also be secured by a suitable apparatus wherein the calking cartridge is moved rearwardly in a manner to depress the aerosol tip of the energizer. An apparatus of this type is shown in FIG. 10.
Referring specifically to FIG. 10 a tip locking cap 50 securely affixes tip 51 to cartridge case or holder 51. Cartridge tube 52 is held by lock 53 to housing 54 by grooves or series of screw threads around rotatable tube 52. The aerosol energizer 55 is suitably mounted in a housing and is stationary. A cartridge mating assembly is suitably attached to the rear end of cartridge holder tube 52. Plunger 58 :moves forwardly within tube 52 so as to eject calking compound from nozzle 51. A gas chamber 61 is defined by gasket 62, the walls of the cartridge case and plunger 58. This model or variation of the invention does away with most of the trigger linkage. As pointed out heretofore, the aerosol tube is stationary and the adhesive tube is loaded in holder 54 and affixed by lock 53. In operation the tube 51 is pressed against the surface to which the calking material is applied, which moves cartridge to the rear. This rear movement by means of the mating assembly attached to the rear of tube 52 presses the aerosol energizer tip thus releasing gas into the gas area. The rearward movement also depresses spring 57. The mechanism will then continue to operate until a depression of locking; device 53 will release tube 52 and spring 57 will move the component mating assembly and the tube forward thereby releasing the pressure on tip 56 thus causing the aerosol gas to be shut off.
