Abstract:
A melter includes a reservoir for receiving melted adhesive from the heater unit, and a pump in fluid communication with the reservoir and located within a heated housing. The heated housing heats the pump during startup and regular operation of the adhesive melter, thereby reducing delays in operation caused by slow warming of adhesive within the pump. The pump is configured to be inserted into the heated housing.

Claim (Index 1):
An adhesive melter subassembly, comprising:\n a heated housing defining an elongate bore; a pump including a pump body having an elongate body portion shaped for insertion into the elongate bore of the heated housing, an upper seal portion abutting a top surface of said heated housing and preventing adhesive leakage from the elongate bore during operation of said pump, and an actuation section outside of the elongate bore when the elongate body portion is inserted into the elongate bore; a heating element positioned within the heated housing and configured to generate heat energy for adhesive in the pump; and a heated reservoir comprising one or more fins and being configured to heat adhesive, wherein the heated reservoir is in fluid communication with the pump body via a flow path under the heated reservoir and the pump such that pump body receives melted adhesive from the heated reservoir.
