Abstract
A rotatably adjustable angled nozzle for attachment to dispenser modules which deposit melted thermoplastic materials such as melted adhesives on a substrate. The nozzle has a nozzle body permanently and rotatably attached to a connector nut which threadably engages an outlet nipple of an adapter fitting on a fluid dispenser module and is tightened securely to sealingly seat against the outlet end of the nipple. The nozzle body has a transverse bore in communication with an axial bore and having one end in communication with a nozzle tip and orifice. Rotation of the nozzle body changes the angle of the transverse bore and changes the direction of the stream of fluid emitted by the nozzle tip. The nozzle body can be rotated relative to the nut with a single tool without rotation of the nut. The transverse bore can be at right angles to the axial bore or can be at any other desired angle of inclination.
