Patent attributes
A fluid directing flow manifold for directing reactive fluids, independent of one another, from a dispensing manifold to a dispensing tip of a fluid dispensing apparatus provides a disposable and low cost fluid passageway between the dispensing manifold and dispensing tip while reducing or eliminating the possibility that reactive fluids will react and clog or block the dispensing manifold. The flow manifold provides independent fluid passageways between valves of a dispensing manifold and a mixing chamber of a dispensing tip of the dispensing apparatus. The flow manifold may be adapted for use with various types of fluid dispensing systems. The flow manifold may include multiple fluid guide bodies that may each be removed from the flow manifold to be cleaned or disposed of, and then replaced. Quick release mechanical fasteners are included for quick attachment of the manifold to a dispensing manifold valve and to the dispensing tip.
