Zusammenfassung:An apparatus (100) for depositing an extrudable substance (102) onto a surface (126). The apparatus (100) comprises a bracket (104), comprising an opening (142) that has a central axis (110), and a tubular sleeve (108), coupled to the bracket (104) via the opening (142) and rotatable relative to the bracket (104) about the central axis (110). The apparatus (100) further comprises a valve assembly (112), comprising a valve body (140), fixed to the tubular sleeve (108) and rotatable relative to the bracket (104) together with the tubular sleeve (108), and a valve (144), internal to the valve body (140). The apparatus (100) also comprises a linear actuator (120), configured to position the valve (144) relative to the valve body (140). The apparatus (100) further comprises a nozzle (118), fixed to the valve body (140) and rotatable relative to the bracket (104) together with the valve body (140).
