Abstract

An apparatus for adjusting the relative position of two or more material dispensers comprises a first module adapted to connect to a source of material, and a second module which is axially movable with respect to the first module. The first and second modules each mount at least one material dispenser such that a material pasageway formed in each module is connected to a discharge bore formed in each material dispenser. The passageways in the first and second modules, in turn, are interconnected by a pair of pivot arms arranged in a scissors-like configuration which extend between the modules, and are movable between an extended and retracted position in response to movement of the second module, so that each dispenser can be supplied with material from a single supply line.
