Application November 16, 1956, Serial No. 622,672
14 Claims. (Cl. 222-1) My invention relates to a method and .device for kneading and removing a viscous material from its container, and more speciiically, to a method and device for handling and applying a highly viscous sealing compound to high pressure gas line conduits and msociated structures, though the method and device are of general application.
in the application of myself and Robert M. Soehnlen, Serial No. 435,726, tiled j'une l0, 1953, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated herein by reference, a compound injector of the type to which my invention relates `is disclosed. ln this ycompound injector, the top of the container is removed from the container and the bottom thereof is detached therefrom to act as a ram or plunger head for forcing the compound from the container.
The preferred sealing material or compound employed for sealing leaky gas line joints, cracks, and the like is a highly viscous, sticky substance, which heretofore has rendered the material very diliicult to remove from its container and apply where and as desired. An example of this material is the plastic base compound konwn in the art as polysulfide elastomer, a product of Minnesota M'ining and Manufacturing Company. l
Also, the compound and similar materials frequently V require mixing and/or kneading before they are used.
Heretofo-re, these doing the required mixing and/or kneading inevitably would get some of the material on themselves as well as their clothes, which is highly `undesirable due to the characteristics of the material. This is frequently very dangerous as the compound may be highly toxic in nature.
The principal object of my invention is to provide a device for kneading the compound Within its container and removing the compound from its containerl which insures that the operator does not come into contactwith the compound itself.
Another principal object of the invention is to provide -an improved method of handling materials of this` sort.
`A further object of the invention is to provide a device for handling highly viscous compounds which permits kneading of the compound within its container before removing same from its container, all without requiring that the operator contact the compound in any way.
A further object of the invention is to provide a viscous material injection device which is arranged so that the container for the compound acts as the material containing cylinder' for the device.
Yet a further object of the invention is toprovide a viscous compound or material kneading and injecting device which is composed of few and simple parts, is economical or' manufacture, is convenient in use, and is adapted to handle a wide variety of viscous and other plastic and semi-plastic substances.
Other objects, uses, and advantages will be obvious or rice become apparent from a consideration of the following description and the application drawings.
In the drawings: j

Figure 7 is a view similar to that of .Figure 1, showing an alternate method of kneading the compound.
Reference numeral lill of Figure 1 .generally .indicates my improved device as a whole in which a container 12 containing sealing lcompound 14 has been mounted. The device 10 generally comprises spaced cap, holder, or clamping members 16 and 18 vpositioned in abutting relation with the respective ends of the container l2. The lmember 16 in the illustrated embodiment includes asubstantially dat wall 20 `rimmed by an integral flange 22. The member 16 is formed with diametrically opposed ears 24 which are formed withbayonet type locking slots 26 (see Figure 2). The member 16 valso includes an internally screw threaded boss 28.
f The member i8 has a configuration rgenerally similar -to thatof the member 16 and includes the relatively at wall 3l) rimmed by flange 32 and formed with ears 34. The ears 34 of the member 18 lixedly carry elongate bolts 36 that are adapted to cooperate with the bayonet slots 26 of the member 16 in the manner hereinafter described. The member 18 also includes an `internally vscrew threaded boss 38 forming an Voutlet port 39 in which is received a nozzle 40 that in the illustrated embodiment is provided with external "screw threading 42 on its l outer'end.
The member 416 screw threadedly `receives a tubular piston rod 44, which is provided with appropriate screw threading on its external'surface. A disc 46 vperforated at its center is fixed to the inner end of the vtubular piston rod d4, as by force iitting it over this end or by welding it to this end. A plunger or ram 48 is secured to the inner end of piston rod 44, andpreferably is mounted for free rotational .movement with respect to the piston rod 44 and floating movement laterally 'of the container 12. In the illustrated embodiment, the plunger or ram 48 comprises a disc like element 50 formed with a recess 52 in its periphery, onto which is secured a cup-shaped element 54 apertured as at S6. The cupshaped member 54 is secured to the disc like element 50 in any suitable manner, as by welding, with the disc 46 positioned therebetween. The disc 46 and perforation 56 are proportioned to permit limited llateral movement of plunger or Aram 48 with respect to the rod v44. An 0-'ring seal 58 is mounted in the recess 52 to act `as va gasket or piston ring between the plunger or ram 48 `and the internal surface of the container 12.
A rod'60 extends through the tubular 'piston rod 44 and iixedly carries a kneading disc 62 at its innermost end. The disc 62 is preferably apertured as at 64 and 66 in themanner indicated in Figure 5, the apertures preferably being countersunk as at 68 and 70 (see Figure 1). `A handle element 72 is `keyed to the tubular piston rod 44 in any suitable manner and a similar handle element 74 bottom end of the can and the member 16 is placed against the top end of the can in the manner indicated in Figure l, and the member 16 is twisted to position the threaded ends of the bolts 36 in the bayonet slots 26. Wing-nuts 80 are then applied to the bolts 36 to clamp the members 16 and 18 against the respecitve ends of the container.
If desired, a disposable gasket may be interposed between the end 82 of the container 12 that is positioned adjacent member 13. This gasket may be shaped from a readily disposable material, such as cardboard. When member 16 is applied to the container 12, the kneading disc 62 will be positioned in abutting relationship With the working surface of the ram or plunger 48.
The threaded end 42 of nozzle 4t? is then attached to some convenient stationary holding device. This may be a device into which the compound 14 is to be injected, such as the wall 85 of a leak clamp of the type described in 'the application of myself and Robert M. Soehnlen, Serial No. 435,727, filed June l0, 1954, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference. Alternately, the threaded end 42 may be received in a threaded iitting 86 secured to the body 88 of the work truck or secured to any other relatively stationary object.
The compound may then be mixed and kneadcd by pushing and pulling the handle '74 to move the kneading disc 62 back and forth in the direction of the arrows of Figure 1. The disc 62 may be moved between the upper and lower limits of the body of-compound in the container 12. The compound on moving through the per- Vforations 64 and 66 is rst contracted and then expanded,
which provides an unusually effective kneading action on the compound. It is recommended that the disc 62 be rotated somewhat after each back and forth movement thereof so that the kneading action provided by the disc 62 is applied to all of the compound 14.
After the compound has been suiiiciently kneaded, the kneading disc 62.is drawn against the ram or plunger 48 and a pointed tool is forced through the bottom 82 of the container to form a port 87. When it is desired to force compound from the device lil, the handlel 72 is rotated in the appropriate direction to draw the ram or plunger 48 and the disc 62 in front ofit against the compound, which forces the compound through the perforation in the gasket 82 and out of the nozzle 46.
As the plunger or ram 48 is permitted` to move laterally of the container, it follows or lioats with the interior surface of the container, which permits it to efficiently force compound past and away from dents-.in the container. The -ring seal 58 insures that no compound will escape from between the ram or plunger 48 and the interior surface of the container.
It will be appreciated that my device keeps the compound entirely inside the container until it is needed, even during the mixing and/or kneading thereof. Some containers will require that a small portion of the compound be removed from the container to permit the plunger or ram 48 and the kneading disc 62 to be positioned in the initial position required to vapply the clamping member 16. Where this is necessary, this small amount of compound can be removed safely by a convenient tool. This may be rendered unnecessary by interposing a depending circular rib 90 between the wall 20 of modified member 16a and the rim of the can, as diagrammatically indicated in Figure 6. The rib 90 may be appropriately notched as at 92 to receive the end of the can.
It may be mentioned that the aforementioned cornpound requires the vaddition of an accelerator material before it is used. r[his accelerator'material must be thor` oughly mixed with the compound and l have found that the device 10 is an eiective instrument for doing so. The
accelerator is placed on top of the compound before the member 16 is applied to the container.
In the alternative way of doing the mixing shown in Figure 7, both ends of the container are removed, and then the nozzle 40 is attached to a ow blocking device such as fitting 86 of Figure 3. The mixing and kneading is then done as described above after which the nozzle 40 is removed from tting 86 and the compound is forced from the device by rotating handle 72.
I have found it convenient to form the tubular piston rod 44 from standard double strength pipe of a suitable diameter. The pipe should be at least double strength so that it will be sufiiciently strong after it is externally screw threaded. The device 10 as illustrated is designed for use with quart sized cans, though the amount of compound in the container will vary depending upon the use to which it is to be put.
The foregoing description and the drawings are given merely to explain and illustrate my invention, and thc manner in which it may be performed, and the invention is not to be limited thereto, except in so far as the appended claims are so limited, since those skilled in the art who have my disclosure before them will be able to make modications and variations therein without departing from the scope of the invention.
