Abstract
An improved loop producing apparatus includes an adhesive gun and a nozzle member for emanating a bead of adhesive in a spiral pattern caused by the direction of air jets toward the adhesive bead as it emanates from the nozzle. A plenum chamber just upstream of the nozzle member is provided with diffusing or baffling means for diffusing the flow of air before it is introduced to the bores in the nozzle member. Overlapping loops of an adhesive bead are deposited onto a substrate in very consistent loop widths and with little loop width variation independently of the angular orientation of the nozzle member.
