Abstract
An apparatus for dispensing grout into joints formed between laterally adjacent floor tiles comprises a hopper for holding a quantity of grout mounted on a mobile frame assembly. The apparatus includes a plurality of nozzle assemblies coupled to the hopper through tubular channels. The nozzle assemblies are slidably coupled to a mounting bracket which extends parallel to the front of the frame assembly such that the lateral distance between the nozzle assemblies is adjustable to correspond to the lateral distance between the joints formed by various sizes of floor tiles. A rack and pinion assembly is connected to the mounting bracket such that the vertical distance between the nozzle assemblies and the floor tiles is also adjustable.
