Abstract (en)

An apparatus for spraying heated hot melt adhesive in elongated strands or fibers in a controlled, spiral pattern upon a substrate comprises a spray gun (10) having a nozzle (14) formed with an adhesive delivery passageway (56) and an air delivery passageway (94) both of which terminated at the base of the nozzle (14). A nozzle attachment (18) in the form of a one-piece annular plate is mounted to the base of the nozzle (14) by a cap (62). The annular plate (18) is formed with a throughbore (110) which receives hot melt adhesive from the adhesive delivery passageway (56) and ejects an adhesive bead through a nozzle tip (108) formed on the outer side of the plate (18) opposite the nozzle (14). An annular groove (112) formed in the outer side of the plate (18) facilitates drilling of air jets bores (118) therein at an angle relative to the throughbore and adhesive bead ejected therefrom. The air jet bores (118) receive pressurized air from the air delivery passageway (94) in the nozzle (14) and direct jets of pressurized air substantially tangent to the adhesive bead to form elongated adhesive fibers and to impart a spiral motion to the elongated fibers so that they are formed in a compact spray pattern for deposition onto a substrate.
