Abstract
A device for the two-dimensional application of free-flowing adhesive to strip material, especially to furniture edge banding. An adhesive channel is contained in an applicator head and an applicator valve selectively blocks or releases the flow of adhesive in the adhesive channel. A slot nozzle communicates with the adhesive channel, which nozzle has a slot-shaped exit opening for dispensing adhesive onto the strip material. A guide device for guiding the strip material past the exit opening of the slot nozzle along a defined path is removably attached to the applicator head. The guide device includes a first guide element which comes in contact during operation with the surface of the strip material opposite the surface to be glued, and at least one additional guide element which comes in contact during operation with an edge of the strip material.
