Abstract:
A dispensing assembly is provided that dispenses a dispensing fluid onto a substrate from a nozzle located on the dispensing assembly, wherein, when the dispensing assembly stops dispensing a dispensing fluid from the outlet, a gas is directed at a tip of the nozzle to clean off a residue of the dispensing fluid left on the tip of the nozzle.

Claim (Index 7):
A dispensing assembly comprising:\n a flow control device for stopping and starting a continuous flow of a dispensing fluid through a dispensing nozzle, the flow control device disposed within a body portion of the dispensing assembly; and a mechanism for cleaning the dispensing nozzle, the mechanism for cleaning the dispensing nozzle being stationary with respect to the body portion of the dispensing assembly while in operation; wherein the mechanism for cleaning the dispensing nozzle includes a blow-off mechanism operably attached to the body portion, the blow-off mechanism including a cap member separated from a dispensing nozzle a distance to form a gap between the cap member and the dispensing nozzle, the dispensing nozzle configured to continuously dispense a dispensing fluid through an outlet of the dispensing nozzle onto a substrate during a first operation; wherein, in response to stopping the first operation, a fluid is forced through the gap in a second operation to blow-off a dispensed fluid residue that has accumulated on a tip of the dispensing nozzle during the first operation; wherein the dispensing fluid passes through a different outlet than the fluid flowing from the one or more openings of the blow-off mechanism.
