Adhesive dispensing nozzles for producing partial spray patterns and method therefor

Abstract From the Canadian patent

A system and method for applying fluids including fiberized hot melt, adhesive onto a substrate from one or more meltblowing die assemblies mounted on a manifold that supplies fluid thereto. At least one of the die assemblies is selected from a group of die assemblies having different configurations of fluid dispensing orifices, wherein various combinations of the different die assembly configurations are mountable onto the manifold to provide a wide range of partial fluid dispensing patterns onto the substrate. Each of the plurality of fluid dispensing orifices are flanked by an air dispensing orifice disposed on opposing sides thereof wherein air, dispensing orifices may extend across a …
