Abstract
A nozzle for applying a bead of a glutinous substance to a surface of an object comprises a body, a first guide, a gate, a second guide, and a biasing member. The body comprises an inlet opening and an outlet opening, joined by a channel. The first guide is coupled to the body. The gate is translatably coupled to the body. Movement of the gate relative to the body controls flow of the glutinous substance through the outlet opening, and width of the bead. The second guide is coupled to the gate. The biasing member is coupled to the body and to the gate. The biasing member urges the gate toward the first guide.
