Abstract:
The nozzle on present manufactured prefilled caulking tubes of non metaic materials is plastic even though the container may be plastic or any other material like wood-pulp products such as treated paper or cardboard. The existing caulking-tube nozzle has limitations to adequately accommodate openings or areas requiring caulking beyond sizes above one quarter of an inch without making several passes and then tooling the joint. The present cutting-to-size (shape and angle) nozzle-end has the handicapped condition of reducing application-visibility, because the cut-end gets shorter when the end of the nozzle is trimmed to create a wider nozzle-end with which to accommodate the larger crack (opening) to be caulked. With prefilled caulking tubes, when the existing nozzle is trimmed shorter to create the required wider-range caulking-application ability, the end of the nozzle disappears behind the caulking container and the visibility is diminished.
