Abstract
A fluid applicator having a multi-zone noncontacting die set for dispensing a selected plurality of thin flat fiberized adhesive streams as uniform rectangular strips of adhesive on a substrate. The die set uses shims to establish the fiberizing air slot, and the adhesive dispensing and fiberizing air shims have tapered tabs to provide improved coating edge control. The fiberizing air die also has simplified fiberizing air flow, and the die set includes a mechanism for clamping the die set together which is especially suited for a multi-zone die set. The fluid applicator includes a manifold heater with a simplified and improved air flow, and a universal adhesive manifold.
