Abstract:
1. An apparatus for mixing and dispensing of components for applying to a golf ball sub-assembly, the apparatus comprising: a mixing block for receiving at least two components; means for pumping the components through the mixing block; a mixer body having a middle portion defining a bore extending axially along its longitudinal axis, means for mixing the components; a temperature control chamber encompassing the mixer body for controlling heat generated by an exothermic reaction created by the components combining and mixing; and a nozzle assembly for dispensing the mixed components into a mold cavity, the nozzle assembly comprising: an extended arm portion having one end connected to a bracket assembly of the mixer body and the other end to a vertically reciprocating fixture that is responsive to a pneumatic pressure means; a dispensing tube housing removably connected to a mounting member attached to the mixer body; a pair of dispensing ports each having one end integral with the dispensing tube housing for receiving the mixed components, and an opposite end seated in the vertically reciprocating fixture, wherein the pneumatic pressure means causes the vertical lifting and lowering of the dispensing ports into mold cavities wherein the mixed components are deposited therein; and the pneumatic means comprises a piston rod that is connected to the fixture through the extended arm portion and activated by pressurized air, wherein the rod is biasly moved in a reciprocally vertical direction.
