Abstract (en)

The adhesive-dispensing heads (5, 5') are fixed on corresponding heated sliders (4, 4') which are mounted with the possibility of adjustment of the distance between them on a straight guide (1) fixed to the means (10) of movement and support of the apparatus, on which are mounted the electrically-operated pneumatic valves (7, 7') which open and close the heads. The channels which supply the adhesive to the heads are connected to channels formed in the sliders and these channels are connected directly or through secondary rotary joints (D2, D2'), which form cylindrical articulations, to two heated and longitudinally hollow arms (16, 16') whose other ends are hinged directly or through further secondary rotary joints to a heated primary rotary joint (D1). This joint is connected to the flexible duct (55) for the supply of the hot-melt adhesive, the terminal portion of this duct being supported by an arm (49) fixed to one end of the primary joint, this arm in turn being supported by suitable means with the possibility of longitudinal movement and rotary movement about a vertical axis. A fork (27) is orientated perpendicularly or orthogonally to the mid-line of the said guide (1), is integral with the latter and interacts with lateral flattened walls (126) of an annular recess (26) of the body of the primary joint (D1), to permit the self-centring adjustment of the distance between the adhesive dispensing heads. <IMAGE>
