Abstract
Abstract A dispensing cone for dispensing foamable material onto a moving surface comprises a chamber having a plurality of discharge ports which are generally cylindrical and have nonparallel longitudinal axes. The discharge ports are generally coplanar in a plane generally parallel to the direction of movement of the moving surface. The discharge cone can be oscillated across the width of the moving surface.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
104 words
Apparatus comprising: a. a moving surface for receiving foamable material; b. a chamber for dispensing said foamable material; c. a plurality of discharge ports positioned through the walls of said chamber, said discharge ports: (1) being conduits having nonparallel longitudinal axes; and, (2) being generally coplanar in a plane generally parallel to the direction of movement of said moving surface; and, (3) having longitudinal axes oriented at different angles with respect to the vertical center line of said chamber so that the streams discharged from said discharge ports are nonintersecting; and, d. means for oscillating said chamber across the width of said moving surface.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
