Abstract
A dual pattern shim assembly, for use in conjunction with hot melt adhesive dispensing systems, permits various different overlapping or overlying deposition or application patterns, having different length dimensions, different width dimensions, different coating thicknesses, and different longitudinal positional locations or dispositions with respect to each other, to be achieved during a single pass of the underlying substrate with respect to the hot melt adhesive contact die applicator or head. In this manner, different or multiple adhesive deposition or application procedures are able to effectively be accomplished simultaneously so as to effectively simplify and shorten the overall assembly lines and production times required for the fabrication or manufacture of various different particular products.
