Zusammenfassung:594461 A nozzle head for dispensing sealant within a gap in an application direction, the nozzle head comprising: a body section (159) forming a primary channel (161) through which the sealant is dispensed, the primary channel forming an entrance through which sealant enters the body section and an exit (169) through which sealant is dispensed from the nozzle head; a port (160) connected with the body section and surrounding the exit, the port forming a chamber (171) having a tip portion (165) opposed to a rear opening (164); and a nose (156) connected with the body section adjacent the tip portion. The chamber forms an angled path (162) from the tip portion to the rear opening to trap and guide excess sealant dispensed from the nozzle head within the chamber from the tip portion out through the rear opening. When the sealant is dispensed from the nozzle head within the gap in the application direction, the tip portion is located upstream from the exit and the rear opening is located downstream from the exit. The nose includes a first surface (157), and a second surface (158), the first surface of the nose extending in a first plane and the second surface of the nose extending in a second plane, such that an engagement angle is formed between the first and second planes for bridging at least a portion of the gap and guiding sealant into the gap. First and second wings (152,154) extend from opposing sides of the port for bridging the gap, the first wing being connected with the second wing to form the tip portion.
