ABSTRACT:
An applicator apparatus for dispensing liquid grout sealant within a grout filled groove formed between adjacent ceramic and clay floor and wall tiles. The apparatus includes a liquid container mounted on a handle and containing liquid grout sealant, a manual flow control valve, and a liquid dispensing head, all in fluid communication. The liquid dispensing head is flexibly connected to the handle and includes a liquid outlet for dispensing liquid grout sealant therefrom. A brush or roller is removably connected to the liquid dispensing head for uniformly spreading liquid grout sealant over grout within the groove. In a first embodiment, the container, control valve and liquid dispensing head are mounted on an elongated handle thereby providing a compact apparatus for dispensing liquid grout sealant to floors, counter tops, and walls. An alternate embodiment further includes a wheeled structure, having an alignment site disposed thereon, so the user is able to guide the device along a groove by rolling the apparatus over the underlying floor tile during the application process. The apparatus may further include at least one squeegee connected to the trailing end of liquid dispensing head for automatically wiping an excess sealant from the surfaces of the tile as the apparatus is moved forward along a grout filled groove.
