Abstract

The present invention is directed to a combination sealant dispensing and spreading apparatus for selectively dispending and spreading sealant upon a paved surface, the apparatus comprising a moveable frame having a lower support, a sealant tank the lower support operably connected to a V-shaped spreading means for spreading sealant from the tank upon the paved surface.

Claims (25)

1. A combination sealant dispensing and spreading apparatus for selectively dispensing and spreading sealant upon a paved surface said apparatus comprising:

a moveable frame having a handle extending angularly towards a lower support;

a sealant tank having a sidewall extending downwardly toward a channeled guide and in operation with a dispensing means;

said lower support operably connected to a V-shaped spreading means;

said handle having a pair of operators a first handle operator and a second handle operator, said first handle operator in communication with the dispensing means and said second handle operator in communication with the spreading means;

wherein said dispensing means includes a plunger extending downwardly from a dispensing arm towards the channeled guide for engagement at a shaped opening;

said second handle operator in communication with said V-shaped spreading means at a spreading arm;

a pair of plunger guides which align said plunger along a sidewall of said tank;

each of said plunger guides including a pair of tabs for slidable receipt of said dispensing means between an engaging and elevated position;

said dispensing arm having a centrally located dispensing shaft spanning a pair of vertical supports, said vertical support pair extending from an upper lip of the tank sidewall;

said moveable frame further including a cross member spanning between a pair of angled arms connected to said handle;

said cross member including the shaped opening for fluidic communication between said tank and said spreading means;

said sealant traveling through said channeled guide upon operation of said dispensing means for dispensing said sealant from said tank to the paved surface;

a front and rear wheel pair, each of said front wheel being secured to said pair of angled arms with a rotatable control arm having at least one elbow joint;

said first handle operator being biased for retaining the sealant within said sealant tank and when operated, said first handle operator selectively releases the sealant from said tank; and

said second handle operator being biased for engagement of said spreading means with said paved surface for spreading the sealant dispensed from said tank upon the paved surface.

2. The combination of claim 1 wherein said rotatable control arm rotates fully.

3. The combination of claim 1 wherein said plunger extending downwardly from said dispensing arm towards the channeled guide for selective release of the sealant to the paved surface during operation of said first handle operator.

4. The combination of claim 1 wherein each of said tabs presents a slotted opening for slidable receipt of a dispensing linking member between the dispensing arm and the plunger.

5. The combination of claim 1 wherein said V-shaped spreading means further includes a squeegee secured to a lifting rod whereby operation of said second handle operator raises and lowers said squeegee in relation to the paved surface.

6. The combination of claim 1 wherein said first and second handle operators are configured to be operated simultaneously to spread said dispersed sealant from said tank while moving said frame wherein said first handle operator lowers said spreading means and said second handle operator elevates said dispensing means.

7. The combination of claim 1 wherein each of said pair of operators is secured by a catch extending from said handle.

8. The combination of claim 1 wherein said control arm is inwardly biased.

9. The combination of claim 8 wherein said first and second handle operators are configured to be operated simultaneously to spread said dispersed sealant from said tank while moving said frame wherein said first handle operator lowers said spreading means and said second handle operator elevates said dispensing means.

10. The combination of claim 8 wherein each of said control arm is inwardly biased.
