Abstract
An applicator gun for dispensing hot melt adhesive comprises a hydraulic material supply hose connection, an electrical power cable connection, and a hanger bracket connection. The hose connection may be inverted, and the power cable and hanger bracket connections interchanged so as to provide the applicator gun with different orientation capabilities. The applicator gun may also alternatively accommodate four-finger and two-finger trigger members, and the gun may be connected to the hose connection so as to be movable in alternative modes comprising rotation around a single linear axis or universal movement within six degrees of freedom. The gun also comprises a trigger lock mechanism comprising detent members which provide the operator with tactile indications of the trigger lock mechanism being disposed at LOCKED and UNLOCKED positions, and an enclosed weep hole or window is provided within a side portion of the gun housing so as to alert the operator to hydraulic material leakage prior to the leaking hydraulic material fouling component parts of the gun.
