Description
APPLICATOR
The present invention relates to an applicator, in particular an applicator for use in the plumbing trades, more particularly an applicator for paste-like materials such as flux.
In the field of plumbing, in particular in the assembly of pipework for fluids, such as heating installations, pipes and fittings such as elbows and other couplings need to be joined to create a fluid-tight system.
In the case of metal pipework and fittings, the system components are joined by means of soldering, typically with a relatively low melting point alloy, commonly of lead and tin, although lead-free solders are now preferred in plumbing solders for health reasons. Prior to soldering, the components are cleaned by a physical means, such as a wire-wool abrasive. A flux is then applied to the components to be joined.
The flux, which is a paste-like material at room temperature, acts to remove existing metal oxides from the surfaces to be soldered, prevent re-oxidation during the soldering process and also acts to improve the flow of molten solder in the joint being made during soldering.
Removal of metal oxides is important since, for example, a tinllead alloy solder bonds well to copper, but not to copper oxides, which form readily on exposed copper surfaces and, following physical removal, reform quickly at the elevated temperatures of the soldering process. Fluxes are acid materials and act by reduction of the metal oxides. It is important to seek to ensure that an excess of flux is not used in case it enters the system where it can cause corrosion. Traditionally, a brush is used to apply a thin layer of flux to the pipe from where it is transferred to the inner surface of the fitting to which the pipe is to be joined. However, brush application can be awkward in confined spaces and can lead to uneven application. The present invention seeks to overcome this problem.
In its broadest sense, the present invention provides an applicator for applying a flux composition to an end of a pipe, the applicator comprising a flux composition reservoir in communication with a composition applicator head comprising an annular composition dispensing region.
Preferably, the annular composition dispensing region has an inner diameter dimensioned to correspond substantially to an inner diameter of a preselected diameter of pipe.
Preferably, the annular composition dispensing region has an outer diameter dimensioned to be larger than an outer diameter of said pre-selected diameter of pipe.
Preferably, the composition reservoir and composition applicator head are in communication by means of a flexible connection.
Suitably, the composition reservoir is formed with a composition reservoir body and the composition reservoir body includes dispensing means to dispense composition from the composition reservoir to the composition applicator head.
Suitably, the dispensing means comprises a plunger or piston adapted to advance within the composition reservoir.
In one embodiment, the plunger or piston is adapted to advance by means of a biasing means. Suitably, the biasing means comprises a spring. Advantageously, the applicator further comprises a valve between the composition reservoir and the composition applicator head to regulate flow of composition to the head.
In an alternative embodiment, the plunger or piston is adapted to advance by user mechanical effort and comprises a handle for this purpose.
In a preferred embodiment, the flux composition reservoir is formed by a commercial container of flux composition.
In a variation of the above embodiments, the applicator further comprises a supplementary applicator head defining an applicator or cavity for receipt of the pipe and application of flux composition thereto. The composition applicator head is formed as a mating design to the supplementary applicator head to allow transfer of flux composition from the composition applicator head to the supplementary applicator head.
The above and other aspects of the present invention will now be described in further detail, by way of example only, with reference to the accompanying figures, in which: Figure 1 is a side cross-sectional view showing the principle features of a first embodiment of a flux applicator in accordance with the present invention; Figure 2 is a side cross-sectional view of a second embodiment of a flux applicator in accordance with the present invention; Figure 3 is a plan cross-sectional view of the embodiment of Figure 2; Figure 4 is a cross-sectional view of an alternative flux applicator head Figures 5 and 6 show, in cross-section, a third embodiment of a flux applicator in accordance with the present invention.
Referring to Figure 1, there is shown a first embodiment of an applicator 10 in accordance with the present invention for applying flux to an end of a prepared pipe.
The applicator has a body 11 including a flux reservoir 12 to contain a supply of flux 13. The flux applicator can be supplied pre-filled with flux 13 or provided for user-filling or re-filling.
Flux reservoir 12 is in operative communication with flux applicator head 14.
Suitably, flux applicator head 14 is spaced from flux reservoir 12 by a neck 15.
However, in alternative embodiments, not shown, flux applicator head 14 is formed directly on body 11.
Flux applicator head 14 comprises an annular outer head wall 20 and a central circular projection or nipple 21 forming an annular flux dispensing region 22. Circular projection 21 has an outer diameter d1 which is selected to provide a relatively close fit within the bore of a pipe (not shown) fitted thereover to reduce flux passing into the interior of the pipe. Annular outer head wall 20 has an internal diameter d2 selected to provide a suitable space for annular flux dispensing region 22 around the outer diameter of the pipe.
The relationship between d1 and d2 will depend upon the outer diameter of the pipe as well as the difference between its inner and outer diameters. It will be appreciated that flux applicator head 14 will be dimensionally specific to one standard diameter of pipe. To cover a range of pipe sizes in common use, a plurality of flux applicators may be provided or a range of demountable applicator heads 14 may be provided for interchangeable mounting on a common applicator body 11.
In the embodiment shown, flux 13 is caused to flow from reservoir 12 to head 14 by means of a plunger comprising a plunger body 23 user-advanced by means of a handle 24.
In use, flux 13 is caused to enter annular flux dispensing region 22 to maintain a supply of flux 13. A prepared pipe is inserted over projection 21 whereupon its outer surface picks up flux 13 from region 22. Plunger 23 can be advanced as necessary to replenish flux within dispensing region 22.
Figures 2 and 3 show a preferred modification of the applicator described above.
Where features are common to both embodiments, the same reference numerals have been used and they will not be described ftirther. In the modified embodiments, a flexible coupling 30 is provided between the applicator body and applicator head 14 to enhance the ability of the device to be used in constricted situations, such as under floors, against walls etc. Additionally, in this embodiment, piston 23 is caused to advance by a biasing means such as a compressed spring in the base of the applicator body and output of flux 13 is regulated by means of a trigger valve 31 interposed between flux reservoir 12 and flexible coupling 30.
Figure 4 shows, in cross-sectional, an alternative applicator head construction.
Applicator head 40 includes a head body 41 having an applicator opening 42 for receipt of the pipe to which the composition is to be applied and defining an applicator head cavity 43 therein. The applicator head 40 includes a valve comprising a valve head 44 mounted on a piston 45 and biased into a closed position against applicator opening 42 by means of a compression spring 46. Applicator head body 41 includes an aperture 47 to provide fluid communication between applicator head cavity 43 and reservoir 12 of the apparatus.
An alternative embodiment is illustrated in Figures 5 and 6. This embodiment is designed as a replacement screw cap for a pot or other container of composition as supplied by the flux manufacturer. The applicator comprises a cap body 50 mounted to cap applicator 51. Cap applicator 51 is in fluid communication with a reservoir of composition formed by a commercial container therefore (not shown) by means of tube 52, suitably of flexible polymeric material compatible with the composition.
Cap includes a priming actuator 52 which acts by any suitable pneumatic or mechanical means to cause transfer of composition from the reservoir to cap applicator 51. Cap applicator 51 can be used to apply composition directly to the pipe as described above. Alternatively, as shown, the cap applicator can be used in combination with a supplementary applicator 53 (Figure 6). Supplementary applicator 53 has an applicator body 54 defining an applicator cavity 55 having an opening 56 for receipt of the pipe. Cap applicator 51 is complementary in shape to supplementary applicator 53 such that composition is transferred from cap applicator 51 into applicator cavity 55. Supplementary applicator 53 can then be applied to the pipe to coat it with composition. This arrangement has the advantage of providing a compact applicator, useful for use in confined spaces.
In a variation of the embodiments described above, a brush is formed adjacent or within the annular dispensing region. This allows the annular dispensing ring to be made larger than need be the case such that it is better adapted for use with non-standard size pipes, such as Imperial pipework, and the brush ensures adequate coverage of the flux or other composition on the pipe. It also acts in very warm environments to retain the composition within the annular dispensing region.
