Abstract

A device for applying a two-part adhesive to a substrate includes a carrier, a first tray coupled to the carrier, a first package disposed in the first tray, and a second package disposed in the first tray. The first package contains a first part of the two-part adhesive and the second package contains a second part of the two-part adhesive. The device further includes a applicator that is in communication with the first package and the second package. The applicator is configured to receive the first part and the second part and mix the first part and the second part to form the two-part adhesive. The device also includes a second tray coupled to the carrier and configured to accommodate a power supply that provides electrical power to operate the device.

Claims (30)

1. A device for applying a two-part adhesive to a substrate, the device comprising:

a carrier;

a first tray coupled to the carrier;

a first package disposed on the first tray, the first package containing a first part of the two-part adhesive;

a second package disposed on the first tray, the second package containing a second part of the two-part adhesive;

an applicator in communication with the first package and the second package, the applicator configured to receive the first part and the second part, the applicator mixing the first part and the second part to form the two-part adhesive and discharging the two-part adhesive to the substrate;

a second tray coupled to the carrier and configured to accommodate an electrically operated pump system which includes a prime mover connected to a gear box through a rotatable shaft, wherein the gear box transfers a driving torque to a first rotatable shaft coupled to a first pump to draw the first part of the two-part adhesive and a second rotatable shaft coupled to a second pump to draw the second part of the two-part adhesive, wherein the gear box and rotatable shaft do not come in contact with the first part and the second part of the two-part adhesive; and

a third tray coupled to the carrier and configured to accommodate a generator that supplies electrical power to the electrically operated pump system.

2. The device of claim 1 wherein the third tray includes a portion to accommodate an accessory tray.

3. The device of claim 1 wherein the electrically operated pump system pumps the first part and the second part to the applicator.

4. The device of claim 3 wherein the applicator is coupled to the pumping system with respective hoses.

5. The device of claim 1 wherein the generator is secured to the third tray with one more straps.

6. The device of claim 5 wherein the generator is powered by a gaseous fuel.

7. The device of claim 5 wherein the generator is powered by a liquid fuel.

8. The device of claim 7 wherein the liquid fuel is gasoline.

9. The device of claim 1 wherein the generator provides alternating current (AC) to the pumping system.

10. The device of claim 1 further comprising a rectifier that converts AC current from the generator to direct current (DC).

11. The device of claim 10 wherein the DC is provided to the pumping system.

12. The device of claim 10 further comprising one or more batteries that receives the DC to charge the one or more batteries.

13. The device of claim 12 wherein the one or more batteries supplies electrical power to the pumping system.

14. A device for applying a two-part adhesive to a substrate, the device comprising:

a carrier;

an applicator coupled to the carrier and configured to receive a first part of the two-part adhesive and a second part of the two-part adhesive, the applicator mixing the first part and the second part to form the two-part adhesive and discharging the two-part adhesive to the substrate; and

a first tray configured to accommodate the first part of the adhesive and the second part of the adhesive,

a second tray configured to accommodate a pair of an electrically operated pump system which includes a prime mover connected to a gear box through a rotatable shaft, wherein the gear box transfers a driving torque to a first rotatable shaft coupled to a first pump to draw the first part of the two-part adhesive and a second rotatable shaft coupled to a second pump to draw the second part of the two-part adhesive, wherein the gear box and rotatable shaft do not come in contact with the first part and the second part of the two-part adhesive; and

a third tray configured to accommodate a generator that supplies electrical power to operate the device.

15. The device of claim 14 wherein the generator provides alternating current (AC).

16. The device of claim 15 further comprising a rectifier that converts AC current from the generator to direct current (DC).

17. The device of claim 16 further comprising one or more batteries that receives the DC to charge the one or more batteries.

18. The device of claim 17 wherein the one or more batteries supplies electrical power to the pumping system.
