Abstract:

A mixing and dispensing system for two reactive fluids, such as two-component polysulfide sealants, in which the dispensed fluids are supplied to a hand operated mixing and dispensing gun through a pair of flexible hoses suspended above the floor from a pivotal boom. The flexible hoses are pivotally attached with swivel joints onto the inlets of the gun that are spaced on opposite lateral sides of the gun, and the swivels are rotatable about a common generally horizontal pivot axis. The gun is fully weight supported in an operative position above the floor with a tool balancer attached to the boom. The tool balancer includes an adjustably tensioned and extendable line that is pivotally attached to the top of the gun body and rotatable about a generally vertical pivot axis. The gun passes the two reactive fluids separately through the gun body and mounted on the divided outlet of the gun is a disposable static mixer having a single inlet attached to an elongated spiral mixer tube that terminates in a dispensing outlet nozzle. A hand operated actuating trigger is mounted on the static mixer tube in close proximity to the dispensing outlet nozzle.
