Abstract:
1. A nozzle for dispensing a random pattern of liquid adhesive filaments, comprising: first and second air shim plates, said first and second air shim plates each having a plurality of air slots adapted to receive and direct pressurized process air; and an adhesive shim plate positioned between said first and second air shim plates, said adhesive shim plate having a plurality of liquid slots adapted to receive pressurized liquid adhesive and discharge liquid adhesive filaments, the pressurized process air directed by said air slots moves said filaments of the pressurized liquid adhesive discharging from said liquid slots in a random pattern; said air slots in said first air shim plate are configured to direct the pressurized process air along a first angle relative to said adhesive shim plate and said air slots in said second air shim plate are configured to direct the pressurized process air along a second angle relative to said adhesive shim plate, said first angle being different than said second angle so that said first and second air shim plates direct the pressurized process air asymmetrically toward the adhesive filaments.
