Abstract:
A method of manufacturing an improved caulking nozzle, removably attachable to a caulking tube front cover adapter positioned on a caulking tube front cover of a caulking tube consisting of the following steps:making a female insert from a hard material, the female insert having a plurality of female insert threads disposed circumferentially therein and a female insert opening therethrough, being attachable to the caulking tube front cover adapter, and having an inner member and an outer member, said inner member having a smaller outer diameter than an outer diameter of said outer member, said inner member and said outer member function in concert with each other to prevent separation of said female insert from said caulking nozzle, said outer member having projections integrally disposed around its circumference to prevent said female insert from movement when said improved caulking nozzle is attached to the caulking tube;placing the female insert into a caulking nozzle cavity mold within an injection molder;injecting a soft material into the caulking nozzle cavity mold until the soft material encompasses the female insert;allowing the soft material to harden; andremoving the improved caulking nozzle from the caulking nozzle cavity mold.
