Abstract
An applicator for a thermoplastic product, the applicator including: a housing (1) constructed to be held by a user and having a longitudinal axis and an end provided with two mutually parallel longitudinal walls (11b) and two transverse walls (11c) delimiting a product outlet opening (20); a reservoir (2) for holding the product, the reservoir being installed in the housing, being constructed to be in thermal communication with a heating unit (4) and being open at one end to permit product in the reservoir to flow into the product outlet opening; an applicator roller (15) located in the product outlet opening and having an axis of rotation which is parallel to the longitudinal walls; and a mechanism for displacing the applicator roller parallel to the longitudinal axis of the housing in order to vary the thickness of a slit through which the thermoplastic product flows out of the applicator.
