Abstract
The invention relates to a cable laying device 1 comprising a device body 2, a dispensing nozzle 5, means to deliver adhesive 30 to the nozzle, and means deliver cable 20 to the nozzle. In use the nozzle is moved over a surface to lay adhesive and cable onto the surface. The device may be in the shape of a gun with a trigger 4. The adhesive may be glue or paste, or may be an adhesive tape (70, Fig 2), and may be stored in and/or heated by the device. The cable may be laid on a flat surface or in a right-angled corner.
Description
Title: Cable Laying Device The present invention relates to a cable laying device, such as a cable gun.
It is often desirable to lay a cable along a wall, along a skirting board or around a door frame.
Such a cable might be a television aerial cable, telephone cable, mains electric cable, or loudspeaker cable. One method of doing this is by the use of cable clips which need to be nailed into place. It is time consuming this and the clips are unsightly. Also the wire is also visible.
The invention seeks to provide a solution to this problem.
According to the present invention there is provided a cable laying device comprising: a) a device body, b) a dispensing nozzle, c) means to deliver a source of adhesive to the nozzle, and d) means to deliver cable to the nozzle, in use the nozzle being moved over surface and laying adhesive and cable onto said surface.
The device may be in the form of a gun with a gun body. *
In one embodiment the adhesive is a glue or paste. The glue or paste may be stored on the device prior to being dispensed. The glue or paste may be heated by the device prior to being dispensed.
in another embodiment, the glue or paste is an adhesive tape. The tape may be stored on the device prior to being dispensed. The tape may be heated by the device prior to being dispensed.
In one embodiment the device includes a cable conduit leading from the nozzle to a cable exit on the device, and said cable may pass through the conduit as it is dispensed from the nozzle.
The device may include a trigger allowing cable and/or adhesive to be dispensed from the nozzle.
The nozzle may allow cable and adhesive to be dispensed and secured to a flat surface. The nozzle may allow cable and adhesive to be dispensed and secured to a "right angled" surface.
The nozzle may allow cable and adhesive to be dispensed and secured to a surface when being turned through a change in direction.
Embodiments of the invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings in which: Figure 1 shows a perspective view of a first embodiment which dispenses glue and cable onto a flat surface, Figure IA shows the nozzle of the first embodiment dispensing adhesive and cable onto a right-angled surface.
Figure 2 shows a perspective view of a second embodiment which dispenses tape and cable onto a flat surface, and Figure 2A shows the nozzle of the second embodiment dispensing tape and cable onto a right-angled surface.
Referring to Figure 1 there is shown a cable gun 1.
Gun I has a gun body 2 with a handle 3 and a trigger 4. A dispensing nozzle 5 is provided with an upper conduit 6 which feeds a cable "20"from a coil 21. Cable 20 passes through a conduit in the gun 1 leading from the nozzle 5 to a cable exit 2A. A lower conduit 7 feeds adhesive 30 passing through gun 1 from a replaceable cylinder 31 of adhesive under pressure stored in a chamber 32. A flexible finger 8 is provided at the end of nozzle 5. Adhesive 30 from cylinder 31 passes through a tube 9 in the gun body to lower conduit 7 through a flow control valve 10 operated by trigger 4.
A laser beam 40 is provided on gun body 40 to deliver a visible "straight line" of light on a surface in front of the gun nozzle 5.
In use the gun nozzle 5 can be moved over surface laying adhesive and cable onto a surface.
Trigger 4 can be operated to deliver the desired amount of adhesive onto the surface and the flexible finger 8 pushes the cable 20 and adhesive 30 firmly onto the surface. The cable 20 will pass through the conduit as it is dispensed from the nozzle 5.
Adhesive 30 may be a glue or paste, e.g. of the type delivered from a pressurised sealant cartridge. Alternatively adhesive 30 may be a hot melt type adhesive which could heated by the gun using electrical heating elements in the gun prior to being dispensed.
As shown in Figure IA, flexible finger of nozzle 8 can flex into a "W" shapes so allowing the nozzle to dispense adhesive and cable onto a right-angled surface.
Laser 40 marks a straight line of light on a surface such as a wall which can be followed to allow the cable and adhesive to be laid in a straight line on a surface. It will be appreciated that the nozzle 5 also allows cable and adhesive to be dispensed and secured to a surface when being turned through a change in direction, e.g. along a curved line.
Referring to Figure 2 there is shown a cable gun 50.
Gun 50 has a gun body 52 with a handle 53. A dispensing nozzle 55 is provided with an aperture 56 which feeds a cable "60"from a coil 61. Cable 60 passes through a conduit in the gun I leading from the nozzle 55 to a cable exit 52A. Aperture 56 also feeds adhesive tape 70 passing through gun 50 from a replaceable roll of adhesive tape 71. A flexible finger 58 with a semi-circular rib 58A is provided at the end of nozzle 55.
A laser beam 80 is provided on gun body 40 to deliver a visible "straight line" of light on a surface in front of the gun nozzle 5.
In use the gun nozzle 55 can moved over surface laying adhesive tape 70 and cable 60 onto a surface. The flexible finger 8 pushes the cable 60 and adhesive tape 70 firmly onto the surface.
The cable 60 will pass through the conduit as it is dispensed from the nozzle 55.
Adhesive tape 70 may by a self-adhesive tape. Alternatively tape 70 may be heat cured and could be heated by the gun using electrical heating elements in the gun prior to being dispensed.
As shown in Figure 2A, flexible finger of nozzle 8 can flex into a "W" shapes so allowing the nozzle to dispense adhesive tape and cable onto a right-angled surface.
N
Laser 80 marks a straight line of light on a surface such as a wall which can be followed to allow the cable and adhesive to be laid in a straight line on a surface. It will be appreciated that he nozzle 55 also allows cable and adhesive tape to be dispensed and secured to a surface when being turned through a change in direction, e.g. along a curved line.
The invention may take a form different to that specifically described above.
Further modifications will be apparent to those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the present invention.
